Haven't shared art on this blog in a minute but I was part of a mini game jam last weekend! My first time being part of a game :')

Here are some assets I made:

And a few we ran out of time to add:

Please check it out if you have a minute or two and see if you can beat my high score -w-

Last week I made a little jam game for Minijam 150, the theme was magic and the limitation was 'light is the way.' A pretty abstract limitation for sure ahahaha. We got 1st place! My goal was to play with my toolkit and make something small and complete, from start to finish. Across the projects I've worked on I have pretty good libraries for handling stuff like NPCs, conversations, interactable elements etc. that I wanted to play with.

Scoping out an RPG in 3 days is fun! We started with an outline for the story, magical girl beats up aliens. Combat system came next, that's the gameplay part of the game. You get 3 moves, that cover different areas and solve different problems, which makes the fights into super basic flow charts the player can solve. With 3 moves, we knew we wanted 3 combats and a boss, let's you make a super easy level up system where you upgrade a move after each fight, then fight the boss with your skills. Exploration is rewarded with little health upgrades that give combats a larger margin of error, a neat little package! The game also gave me a great space to work with my new lighting tools and experiment with some practical uses of the color lookup table. On the html build of a love2d project, canvases get compressed and lose color accuracy. But with a color lookup table, I can use a shader to cheat in the proper colors, pretty cool! My favorite part was modding in a secret boss after the jam though, spending a couple laid back days post-jam playing with the legos I made! A harder more complex boss than you should probably put in a jam game, but I had fun ahahaha

A good Sunday to everyone!

Along with this little jam.

Cheers.

Avoid Your Past

A tiny game I made for Mini Jam 111 last year. First created in #PICO8, now rewritten in my own BeetPx

You can play it on https://beetrootpaul.itch.io/avoid-your-past-beetpx (should work on a mobile browser as well).

Hey!! Saw ur post about Pf breeding kink and I agree. After the week after the 7th kid is born Remus is like "Are you stopping now? Got the Quidditch team you wanted,". Sirius is like heh um.. bc he's absolutely not ready to stop and James who's half asleep just starts giving everyone present there (which is the 7 kids they have, Sirius, Remus, Peter, himself, his parents and some of his other friends, and if it's the summer holidays maybe even Minnie for something) a lesson on Quidditch teams and Remus groans loudly and Peter smacks him in the head. And James is like, "You can't have only one seeker, that could end you, you also need two extra chasers and another beater and another keeper," And then he stares really quickly at all his kids and goes: "Ik they're mine but what if they prefer commentating and watching?" And Sirius laughs like "each and everyone one of these wants to play love don't worry!" But James is now stuck thinking on what ifs and say "but what if they want to play the same positions? What if none of these want to be a keeper? What if they don't have the body for becoming a chaser? What if they all are not sorted into Gryffindor?"

And at this point there is a very open discussion on how to kill Remus. And the Hogwarts proffs like I give up I can't what this us too many kids.

And James looks at Remus and says, "I need at least 14 bc they have to practice with someone." And they try to no avail to remind him that other kids do exist in the world.

But James' mind has already been set so he shakes his head. "And each team should have at least 4 reserve seeker, so that's 22 kids". And even Sirius seems horrified bc 15 more kids+the 7 they already have is a bit much. But James is still calculating and Sirius j wants him happy so he gives whoever who tries to interrupt James a death glare. "And we need a commentator and Referee. And whose to say all of them will play. And what if they're in diff houses? We need atleast 30. So we can't stop *now*, can we?" and Sirius nods but is wondering if there are any hoses that can accommodate 12 kids, let alone 30. Fleamont mentions how he and Sirius can j be the referee and commentators but James j goes "what if we're busy? Actually they need a crowd. Like empty stadiums are just no fun, y'know. Maybe like 50 kids, 60?"

And Minnie is like why do you care if ones in ravenclaw why does that matter bc she's gon be teaching them. And James looks at her, "I can't have them teaming up against each other unless there's an equal amount, now, can we?" And Minne is ready to combust bc this justice from James side will kill her. And Peter laughs, "I think you should get 28 more sposes bc they'll def team up against you and Sirius" and James looks at him and shakes his head and goes "If they don't have prank war with us they're disowned. Anyway, what're all of you for?" And now everyone is horrified bc they can't handle 6 miniJames&Sirius how are they going to do 30, and they're look at Sirius wondering if he's planning to stop but Sirius has this anything for James face and they all know they're doomed.

And then James looks at Sirius, but wait, what if the first ravenclaw leaves and there are only 5 left there but 8 in Gryffindor?" And Minnie just walks out pale bc yes these two are clever and got all Os but they were a nightmare like those pranks of theirs are so complicated she can't have more of that. And Sirius smirks bc the others will get a Heart Attack and says ""Then we get another one, until we have an equal amount of Gryffindors and Ravenclaws again, and Hufflepuffs, if we have any"

And when everyone is going they think he's joking bc he's tired, there's no way he's having 30, let alone 60, kids. But well.. he was absolutely serious, and has 16 or more kids bc once James sets his mind to something he sets his mind to it.

Also, I can j imagine him coming to Hogwarts office 2 a day bc "Ur 6th year Gryffindor kid destroyed the great hall with ur 5th year ravenclaw daughter" and he's like "I have more than one 6th year gryffindor kid and more than one 5th year ravemclaw daughter. Specify" And Sirius j like, "Do you not remember how many times me and Regulus nearly killed each other. Let them be"

And their kids are so rowdy and you can't quite complain bc they look so similar and you don't even know which one did what or what was done at this point. And the Quidditch matches are a nightmare. "Brilliant save by Potter" "Potter scored" "Oh it looks like Potter is angry at Potter, bc Potter is singling Potter alone for the buldger".

And if they are in more than one house and playing against each other? James be like congrats for winning to one group and Sirius be like you deserved to win instead to the other. 😂 "No rest for the wicked" would be such a true qoute for James, Sirius and family and they gotta be wicked or else they're getting pranked.

Also i can imagine they have prank wars and settles and there's as much dedication (if not more) to it as one gives to NEWT exams and the winner of the years gets a super cup or something.

Also imagine the kids all becoming animagi? Can't discipline a bird that just flew away. Or a rabbit that is hiding. Or a lion that's tryna bite you.

(Sorry this is v long, I'm j thinking of ur fic a lot. And many kids gives such drama I can't.. no one gets bored in this house, you just go anywhere and see the 24/7 live channel that is James&Sirius family, in which you see the shenanigans of James, Sirius and their family, an absolutely real reality TV, that would blow anyone's mind out, and would make the rowdiest of kids seemed behaved. But really imagine they start a show starring them it'd become the no.1 so quickly bc this never, ever gets old)

Thank you for such a long and thoughtful ask!! I imagine Sirius and James would put a cap on the number of biological kids James would give birth to, but then they’d adopt a bunch of kids so they can give them a better life. For example, muggle borns, squibs, or just about any kid who’s deemed as an “outlier” in the WW.

Also the entire quidditch convo is soo funny lmao. James would absolutely get his kids into quidditch and you can bet that he and Sirius will be the loudest in the audience. I laughed when you mentioned how messy the quidditch commentary would be because it’s so true. They absolutely have kids in every Hogwarts house and it’s a big source of pride for them.

I think prongsfoot would have a genuine heart attack if their kids became animagi whilst underage but once they’re adults they can do whatever they want.

Prank wars would be sooo fun just imagine the amount of mess and chaos the house would be in. Speaking of house, it’s more of a mansion/manor tbh. The Potter family was wealthy so they’d have enough rooms for all the kids plus a study room, play room, duelling room etc. Ron and Hermione would be amazed by the size of Harry’s house, but to him it’s just normal yk haha.

If the WW had tv programmes you bet “keeping up with the Potters” would be wildly popular. James and Sirius compete for DILF of the year like a clockwork. Their kids would be very smart, powerful, good looking and well-loved so they’d all be successful in their own ways

Rumor is the Twerp wants to become a miniJames

Send 💬 + a rumor || Accepting

While genuinely flattered at the thought, he's trying to figure out whether that's a good or a bad thing.

[rainedoe]

market research (brainless stare-at-the-internet time) has brought me to the conclusion that in order to make a game appealing to my core aud-mwee-ience, it needs deer................

so we added exactly that :)

i hope you enjoy our little game leaf noir! 🍂 made in 72 hours for mini jam 115.

So I recently stumbled upon the Bogren Digital AmpKnob plugins and thought I'd give them a shot, because I was pretty intrigued by the straight forward one knob UI.

Lo and behold, the guitar and bass tones in this mini jam are courtesy of said plugins.

My verdict for anyone who cares: They're usable with some post processing as is being advertised.

The only thing I'm missing from the standalone for noodling is an adjustable high pass filter of sorts, because as is, the amp sim has way too much low end for me to get comfortable with. (Wink, nudge.)

Other than that, cool beans.

Incidentally, this is going to be the last mini jam for the time being, by the way.

Instead, I feel like taking some actual song ideas to completion and just see where that takes me. Maybe some of those will actually get put out at some point. (;

Until then, cheers.

Worked on a goofy little game for the 'Bubbles' themed MiniJam on Itch! Impress your boss (or really, really don't) by word-vomiting your random thoughts.

This is a fun game jam project my friend TrueReligioso and I put together last week! He is an awesome programmer and taught me about Unity. I mostly did the art.

The theme is “Sky, donuts, and war zone.” Try it here: https://itch.io/jam/mini-jam-56-sky/rate/675235. 

Fearless Fryer is a shoot ‘em up where you have donut shields that you can change position for attack and defense. Enemies endlessly spawn faster and faster so watch out! I think 2000 points is a good score.
