PC Game Jam 2: And Make It Double!

Saving Raven said:

There were only 3 contestants who entered in games, that is why there are only 3 playable games. once the deadline is met, all available games will be available on whatever medium Java chooses. I cannot say that they will be available once they are uploaded to us, because there might still be time for others to finish their entries. But at least 1 day after the deadline all games will be available.

Oh, I thought everyone who entered sent in a game. My bad!

Hey, I'm going to have to withdraw from the jam.

Not a problem! I'll leave your name on the list of participants just in case you do find the time for the jam, but don't feel obligated into anything you don't want to do.

Hey guys, I hope you've been having fun with this game jam! The final deadline for competitive entries is almost upon us(roughly 14 hours remaining now). If you're trying to eke out every ounce of quality from this remaining time, go for it, but be sure to try and submit a working copy as soon as you can! (I'd personally try to start uploading no later than 1-2 hours before the deadline)

Hey, ambition's a great asset! If you have ambition and gain a new sense of scope as to what you can do in a limited timeframe, then obviously the game jam has taught you something good! In the industry, a lot of times weird, seemingly arbitrary, deadlines will pop up and you'll have to make the tough calls - which features to drop, which are key to the game's experience, and so on, but hopefully the jam feels like a lower-pressure environment in which to experience that aspect of a game's development.

I have a feeling I've gone beyond the scope of the contest. But oh well, I got my gears grinding.

Now find all the game-breaking bugs before the deadline plz

If the deadline is really that much of an issue due to the late night, I'm sure we'll have a grace period for last minute entries incase you weren't awake for it :P

This might sound like a real stupid question but how can I extract the game from essentials or do I put the game.exe and the dlls in one folder and that's it?

Here it is! This is my first so I sure hope it's up to par. Kinda rushed when it came to what trainer had which Pokemon, honestly.

Just put the files in a .zip file.

And here is my entry.
I'm trying to upload my file right now but I underestimated my file size that's where there's no here for now
If you have played my entry I would be very happy to recieve constructive feedback.

Your game, 1 takes way too long to download, and 2 is riddled with errors. The game is pretty much not functional for me at all.

Credits for somethings I used are in the credits.

Whoa, no offense intended, but did something zip incorrectly? I'm getting a file size of 530 MB compared to Ephraim225's 61.7.

Ah, well. It's progressing, at least.

Ugh, forgot about all that. I didn't have a default essentials ready so I copied my game folder from the game I am making and edited that so there are tons of unnecessary files. Sorry about that. Is it playable? It works fine for me. Just a large size. I won't be able to edit the zip until tomorrow in the afternoon for me, so Idk if it's manageable. And what errors do you get? I test ran the game and it worked fine.

Hi guys, here's my contribution. I haven't properly tested it all the way through but I can't see there being any game-breaking bugs. I'll test it tomorrow but right now I need sleep. Well done to everyone else who submitted something :)

Alrighty, everyone! The final hour approaches! If you're having technical difficulties(still uploading your entry, having weird bugs occur, etc.) PLEASE get in touch with me immediately! Saving Raven and I have been playing a few of the entries already, and are of course hoping that everyone gets a shot at getting their entry reviewed.

So far we have received the following entries:
joeyhugg
WackyTurtle
|3lackEclipse
Ephraim223
Hanswurst1999

And requests for a grace period from:
Roaming Murkrow

We have received confirmation from 6 of our 11 participants, which was about the same proportion as our last jam! However, I'd like to up the ante just a little bit more. To that end, feel free to send me your entries at any point tonight before I get up in the morning(or let me know that you'll plan to have it up by midnight tomorrow night), and we can consider them on-time as competitive entries. Otherwise, feel free to still submit non-competitive entries for our gallery!
