10 GameDev Points to whoever recognises the inspiration for this level :)

It doesn't count as #ScopeCreep if you're only adding B_I_G_G_E_R levels.

I think...

We've had a power cut so here's a candle lit portrait of my supurrvisor 😺

This might look like the same effect as before, but this time the darkness dissolves to show a first person perspective of a note. That isn't just an image. It uses a render texture with another camera. You can see the background moving subtly :)

Here's one for the #GameDevs

Threw together a nifty (but fake) soundwave shader so people can see when the sound is supposed to be playing if they can't hear it.

And this is what I wanted the dissolve effect for :) In The Vaults Below Durn, I'm going to add a volume calibration screen before the main menu so people can definitely hear the knocking.

🤔 I'm starting to think The Vaults Beneath Durn is too challenging for anyone who isn't a #Phasmophobia player. 👻

Another boost in #accessiblity for The Vaults Below Durn. I've enable mouse controls, so now the game can be played entirely with a mouse and a single button. :)

That looks sick!

Glad I made time to add a #HardOfHearing mode. One of the clues is a quiet knocking behind the doors. This would have been an #accessibility problem for a lot of people. So I added a toggle that replaces the knocking with a visual effect. :)

Thanks! It's gonna be up in the next hour I think. Hope you're all doing ok. Looking forward to seeing what you've been up to at Collide if you're gonna do it.

Got the ending done on the game so it's mechanically complete now :) I won't post a video of the ending yet, just to avoid spoilers 😁 Still gotta do the home screen, credits, bit more audio, flame effect, endless mode, and hopefully hard of hearing mode. #brackeysgamejam #brackeys #gamedev #gamejam

As someone who isn't an animator, this 💀 scene was effing difficult. Almost a full day of the game jam spent on this 😰 And I still have the finale cinematic to do.

End of Day 3 of #Brackeys Game Jam! Got the procedural generation all working, added UI, and the clues.

The game is about finding your way through a strange dungeon by paying attention to very subtle clues in each room.

I ran an anime club over lockdown where everyone needed to vote on what anime we were going to watch. The best motivation to get everyone voting was to promise them virtual head pats. ^_^

I haven't forgotten about #BrackeysGameJam!

Took me a day to come up with an idea for "Strange Places". It's pretty broad so doesn't narrow down ideas! This should do the job anyway. Here we are at end of day 1.
