- Loved it! Having mike as the bad guy made me giggle. Great fun with the momentum and story.
Who worked on your submission?
It was just me (and had the help of a friend on play testing, read update), but since i work mostly with programming i had to use some external assets which were credited properly.
UPDATE: A friend of mine play tested the game, at the time i didn't know he would count as someone from the team since he just it played once or twice, but a streamer told me that he did count as a developer. I credited him on the game page description and will credit him on next game updates even if they are not valid for the game jam.
How does your submission fit the theme?
The main mechanics of the game are affected by the theme, your hair grows with time which makes the character slower, you can lose hair if you collect a specific box of pills "Baldium Instants" which recovers your max speed; And besides this the main plot of the game is focused on the theme, on the first couple of minutes it doesn't approach the theme immediately, but it becomes the focus of the plot after a bit.

Hey, I just wanted to let you know that whoever told you a playtester counted towards the team limit was incorrect. I don't mean to put them on blast or anything. I just confirmed with PotaJoe and he told me to let you know for next time. You're allowed as many playtesters as you want unless the rules state otherwise. : )
EDIT: Also just wanted to add that Madclown just saw my chat with Joe and wanted to apologize to you for the mistake. He thought playtesters counted and wanted to apologize for the confusion. :)
Oh it’s totally fine, to be fair beta testers also deserve credit xD But thank you for clarifying it!
Yes credit them absolutely! We don't count them but you're free to and should credit all of them! Ty for doing so! :D
Also, I wanted to ask if late updates are going to be seen or considered, my game had a lot of missing tutorials and required some tweaks related to difficulty which might be a pain in the ass so I worked on that some days after the deadline. But both versions are fine to be played since they don’t have any game breaking bugs.
When it comes to updates right now, there's 2 things to consider:
If you're fixing bugs, especially major bugs that make it hard to play, you are allowed to update your game and update the jam build version of the game.
If you are adding new content then you need to make a separate post jam version and label it as such.
Let me just ask PotaJoe to see where tutorials would fit in and I'll get back to you.
Alright it didn't take him long to get back to me. Yes, tutorials and tweaks to difficulty are fine in your jam build! Overall if you have an update you want to add that makes it easier for Joel to understand or play, we recommend adding it as a post jam ver at the very least. In this case however, you're fine to update the jam build.
Yeah that is my main intention, I will upload a video from both versions so you can see the differences so it makes things easier for you and the rest of people judging and testing the game to see if they are valid or not. But even with all that in mind I will always keep the build from April 15th available. Thank you for clarifying.
Just uploaded a video with a full playthrough of both versions of my game side by side, this might help the moderators decide if the updated version should valid for the stream or not.
LET'S GO MORE DILTO LOVE!!!!
Great game! I could only find 2 of the special items :( but I did find the secret room :)
I also liked how challenging the truck chase was! You definitely got a good gamefeel down for this!
Thank you very much! I’m glad you enjoyed it! In case you want to see the rest of the game without collecting all the 5 Ozempics you can now use the cheat code in the description of the game’s page.
had a great time with this, good level design and cinematography and fixed camera angles. better game design than most sonic team games lol. the challenge of beating the truck was fun, overall impressive!
Thank you very much!
This is a cool sonic-adventure-style game, sadly i couldn't get the audio to work because windows 11 doesn't think i have X Audio 2.7 installed (i do, i can see the file right there in my system32) so i feel like i can't rate the game until i see a version of it with the audio working correctly (hopefully some of the judges stream it like they did last year)
Thank you for playing my game, do you get any error related to audio when opening the game? I didn't get this issue anywhere but i want to research and possibly fix it.
Brings this message box up twice - I have that end user runtime installed and everything, but it's something that isn't native to windows anymore in 11 so it might be that there's something else it thinks it needs that isn't native to 11 either
Alright i'll take a look into it right now, thank you for the screenshot.
Meanwhile, you mentioned that you installed the end user runtime mentioned in the screenshot, but can you try to install the "vc_redist.64x.exe" and "vc_redist.arm64.exe" located in "\Engine\Extras\Redist\en-us"? Those are the game's dependencies, usually when something's missing you will get a message when opening the game telling you to install that, so maybe it could work.
Got a message saying setup failed because I already have the Visual C++ stuff installed (which I do, can see it on my programs list in control panel) so I really don't know, checked .NET framework stuff too since I know that can cause issues sometimes as well but all's good with that too
Thanks for testing that too, i'm working on a update right now so I will definetly look into that issue.
Sorry to bother you again, I just uploaded the proper unreal engine dependencies on the game's page (UEPrereqSetup_x64.exe)
If you want to try it I would really appreciate it since you're the only person that is having this issue and I don't want anyone else to have it xD
EDIT: Saw there was a new version of the game, downloaded that and the audio works!!!
Firstly don't apologise I feel like an ass constantly being like "um it still doesn't work" T_T
That being said, ran the UE setup and it detected I needed ANOTHER different .NET Framework so I installed that and somehow it STILL doesn't work, starting to think I just have a cursed version of Windows 11
Nice! I'm glad it's working now!
Don't worry, actually I'm glad you mentioned this issue since it could happen to more people.
Thank you once again!
This will be Sonic in 2016. I like how having hair is a detriment. I hate how cool Dilto is.
I tried a bunch but I wasn’t gamer enough to beat the truck in the first level even with the homing attack shortcut, but I enjoyed what I played. Pretty tough! Wish I could’ve seen more of the game because I was invested in the story. I imagine this takes place sometime in Season 4 of The Sopranos.
Thanks for playing my game, i'm glad you enjoyed it!
Yeah the truck segment might need some balancing, i'm still thinking if i should add an option to make it easier and have more tutorials showing up.
SPOILERS!!!
Also, I just noticed i didn't mention that you need to find all the 5 Ozempics to get the real ending.
I heart sex too my friend
