Global Game Jam (Jan 27-28)

Arielsan and me joined the Global Game Jam for the first time :slight_smile:

The experience was really awesome, and we were able to finish the game in time.

We wrote a postmortem about our whole experience and you can see and play the game in there.

Postmortem and Play

We hope you like it

Here is mine!

It was built between me and my brother. We are pretty happy with the results, especially that we got it so polished.

I envy you who participate in jam Fuuuuu ;D

It’s so hard. The previous of mine acts like enemy now.

@JL235
hehe like your ava, I’m halo fanboy :slight_smile:

Nice guys, your games look really polished!

It played well for 2 rounds, but on the third I got a message saying:
“INDEX_SIZE_ERR
INDEX_SIZE_ERR: DOM Exception 1”
The instructions fled by too fast for me to read too.
But the graphics looked nice and it loaded really really fast with no plugin which is amazing!

I keep on getting “LoadLibrary failed with error 998. Invalid access to memory location.” I get that when I try it with webstart and with the jar file. It happens to me with most lwjgl games, except for the gears demo applet on the lwjgl site… ???
EDIT: I updated my ATI radeon drivers and now it works. Sweet game, it’s actually fun! I lioke how the copies of you hang around and help/hinder.
The art really works, it all fits. Nice job.

Btw, were you guys the only java programmers at your jams?

The one I worked for:
Flying Kabuki Planets You control a spider and navigate through a network of self containing spheres/planets. You can shoot other players/spiders to get “points”. We aimed for the kiloplayer achievement, but I think we really have to optimize the game protocol and implement multiserver serving to make this really possible.
client -> Ruby (+ http://www.libgosu.org) [<- Google Protobuf ->] very simple server -> Java (+ http://www.netty.io)
Since it was a collaboration we used Java only for the server…
