SFML Game Jam Submissions!

[Jebbs]

I wonder if we can update games now that everybody post them, Jebbs ?

Go for it!

I have a request for everyone too! If you did some interesting during the jam, make a wiki entry about it.

Where is your game?

If you make it a 3-month competition I might be able to compete

If you start now you might finish by the end of the next jam.

LandS

Fun thing and nice graphics! Plus nice music. It's rare to see a programmer that is also a talented artist. Not sure if it really makes enough use of the theme, seems like almost an afterthought. I feel this game would be very similar if you removed the lights & shadow.

TwoFace

I like how it looks. Except for the font. I just skipped the text... too unreadable. But you know that already. The controls feel kinda laggy, I barely made it to the second level. Could have something to do with playing it on a virtualbox, since the assembly wouldn't run with mono. Overall the duality idea is cool, and I think it has potential.

Lightspeed

I like this. With some adjustments (I'd make it faster!), this could be a truly addicting game, just like the similar 3d games. Needs audio (plus some punchy, trancey technotrack?). The space key doesn't seem to do anything.

Lumenumbra

Very nice! A bit short, of course, but the basics are there. So far, I feel this is the game that makes most use of the Lights & Shadows idea*. Like Lightspeed, I think this could benefit from some music to help inmersion. Gameplay wise, I could see this going two ways: puzzle or action. If the former, IMO, it needs more depth than just a labyrinth, if the latter, it needs to be faster.

Just my 2 ¢. Hope I don't offend anyone. All in all, nice collection of little games. I'll try the rest when I get a chance to boot Windows.

*and my own, but I might be biased there  One other thing those two games have in common, is we tried our hands at some sort of reconstruction of 3d from a 2d world, because it's easier to have shadows if you have volume. Fun stuff.

I entirely agree about the text, that's why I'm currently searching for a new one. The problem was that I didn't realize until too late that the font that I had choose did not support punctuation, therefore with no time to find a new one I choose to drop the punctuation.

As for the controls, they do need tweaking - me and my brother are fine with them but another one of my friends was raining fireballs about them The lag could also be from a low frame rate, the first thing I would change about it would be to optimize the drawing code (currently nothing is batched at all and the larger levels max out a core in my i7).

Lumenumbra :

I really like the concept, it's simple but immersive. I really imagine myself between buildings, finding my way. We really think it's 3D because of shapes. We just need more levels !

Thanks! That's exactly the effect I desired!

Heheh, I'm going for the puzzle type. I know the game is quite short, unoptimized, and still needs polishing, which is why I opened a thread about it on the Projects board. Stay tuned for more levels and bug fixes and cookies!
