well I'll just not participate cuz the gmx problem, ah anyway it'll be fun to review
Man I can totally see this in WarioWare, actually. The graphics and genre suddenly changing genres is so classic. Those instructions at the beginning are a nice touch, too.My little WIP for the jam..
@echo off
matharoo-game.exe
misu-game.exe
jackturbo-game.exe
Didn't know there was a rule saying you have to use the close button.@Misu
Then you can make a batch file with all the exe's in the same folder and use it to run them sequentially:
EDIT: Okay so with @Misu's permission I am in charge of collecting all the exe's and batching them. Kindly send the exe's my way.Code:@echo off matharoo-game.exe misu-game.exe jackturbo-game.exe
EDIT 2: Okay so as of this post I have 6 (but adding 3 only) games from here:
Please inform me if I missed any. I'll keep an eye out for any games posted here after this.
- mocgames
- another mocgames (NOT INCLUDED, because only one game is accepted per user)
- freedom2fight (NOT INCLUDED, because it's an installer) @Freedom2Fight
- williamstell3in1 (NOT INCLUDED, because the close button doesn't close the game.) @Misty
- luizdev
- matharoo
Well, for the batching you need to close the games with the close button, for consistency. So you need to enable the close button and submit another exe.Didn't know there was a rule saying you have to use the close button.
I purposely disabled it because I didnt want people accidentally closing the game (it's a shooter.)
You can close it with ESC so I don't see what the problem is.
Ok i uploaded a new one. Should close with the close button now. http://host-a.net/u/Misty1/williamstell3in1_2.exeGUYS! It appears that I received an information very late about how to properly transfer the files to the GMS2 program. It appears there was another misunderstanding by me. And because a horrible hassle I had gone through just because I didnt get the correct information on how to do such process, I want to know if you all okay if I extend the jam for 12 hours more so most of you who submitted could hand me in the source project as well. This is to help clear out most of the problems I had during the transfer process. This also gives time for those who havent participated.
If you think thats okay, then let me know as soon as possible, otherwise, we would have to go through the other idea, which is not very cool because it can time out for a few seconds before playing another exe.
@Misty @Mercerenies @matharoo
Okay so that means there will be a GMCWare program? That's great!GUYS! It appears that I received an information very late about how to properly transfer the files to the GMS2 program.

@Misty @Mercerenies @matharoo
Fine by me. It's a small group of us, so the more the merrier. My original post has links to both the .exe and source zip, so I should be covered either way.GUYS!

Dont worry Freedom2Fight, youve done what you have to do. Now just wait till the voting phase ok.I'm confused now. What else should I submit?
Ok. Thank you, Misu.Dont worry Freedom2Fight, youve done what you have to do. Now just wait till the voting phase ok.
Good because the jam is extended for another 12 hours. You have time to make something within that rangeSo you figured out a way to combine all of the projects into one compilation-project now? I'm just wondering because that's what drew me to the jam, and when I saw it wasn't being done, I didn't feel like making a game. But if that is now going to happen I can whip something up
Maybe we should have categories for the winners, like Best Graphics, Best Gameplay, Best Creative Use, etcFinally, Jam is over!
As soon as I finish polishing the GMCWare, we can begin voting phase. If you want to take a headstart on voting, do so. Just remember the guidelines and vote for the top 3 best.
Good luck everyone!
How is voting going to work? Do we submit our rankings in a PM or make a post here?@matharoo I dunno, this is a very small jam but if you all like to, it would be a personal option only.
Anyway, I got the GMCWare up and running. Everyone's entries have been included into the GMCWare (except for Misty {who practical submitted his own GMCWare instead of a single microgame} and Storyteller {who only submitted an exe})
You can download it here
NOTE: Probably the font doesnt work but I cant tell. If you see the font is generic Arial or something by default, let me know.
In the rules you said you were allowed to submit multiple games.@matharoo I dunno, this is a very small jam but if you all like to, it would be a personal option only.

I notice it now and its due to a bug in GMS2 that treats temporary variables strangely. Luckily I manage to bypass this in the new update I uploaded.@Misu -- The GMCWare game with supposedly all our games isn't working for me. The first game works, but then only black screens come on afterwards.
EDIT:
ok -- after retrying a few times I got some other games to come up. But there seems to be a few games that aren't working which only produce black screens.
That was a misunderstanding. When I said multiple games, I meant entries. I mean pretty much most of everyone here got the idea right.In the rules you said you were allowed to submit multiple games.
If my multiple games was a problem, you should have told me yesterday, because I could have uploaded a single game of your preference.
Of course I'm not including mine.The wise men once said:1. @HayManMarc
2. @Misu
3. @Storyteller
4. @Freedom2Fight
5. @Misty
6. @luizdev
7. @Mercerenies
8. @CHOPSTEEQ
9. @Mocgames998
I didn't miss any game, did I?and then the people said:9. Mocgames998 Get the Soda Pop
No real challenge. Just move your mouse over.
8. CHOPSTEEQ Shake!
Quite a challenge. Though no controls help. I was shaking my mouse at first.
7. Mercerenies Pass the Bridge
I kind of like it, but no real challenge. I never lost even once. The bridge should've been faster.
6. luizdev Hit the... something
Like it. No real challenge though. Never lost. Should've been faster.
5. Misty Archery
I really like how it's done. Shooting at the right spot is pretty hard, but satisfactory when you hit it. Love the winning animation. Could've been more challenging if the target spawned at a random place each time you played it.
4. Freedom2Fight Multiple Games
Nicely done. Like them. But it doesn't really seem like a challenge - gets pretty boring after a time. Must be me though..
3. Storyteller Use your brain
Confusing at first. But after that you start to get it right. Nice idea, challenges the mind. Not too hard.
2. Misu Ready to Shoot
Love it. Nice idea.. Never lost though, so maybe it's on the easier side. Maybe a 9x9 grid would be better... idk.
1. HayManMarc Make a wish
Love it. I honestly DON'T know why. But I just love it. I have no words - not because it's that great but because I have no idea why I like it so much.
It just doesn't seem fair that I am disqualified. I gave you the GM editable and you said you were going to put each game in individdually. Then you suddenly changed it on me and now I'm suddenly disqualified when you could have just told me yesterday? Not cool man. I'm going through a lot of crap in my life right now and this is another roadblock just what I need to deal with.Do it here if you like to avoid confusion

I guess I should have told you on time but I was too occupied fixing the Main project. I have to apologize for that.
Woah! Who said you were disqualified?It just doesn't seem fair that I am disqualified. I gave you the GM editable and you said you were going to put each game in individdually.

Oh. Well i looked in matharoo and he didn't seem to vote on mine.Woah! Who said you were disqualified?
You are not disqualified, you just simply cant get your game into the GMCWare. Thats all... People should still vote for your entry...
Oh I actually didn't play yours. I only played the ones in the GMCWare program. I'll play and add it.Oh. Well i looked in matharoo and he didn't seem to vote on mine.
Aw man. Okay I'll try it out!Dont forget Storyteller's game. He submitted too
I'm not understanding how to play the GMCWare. Is it an .exe or a GM studio editable file?@matharoo Dont forget Storyteller's game. He submitted too
Also I updated the GMCWare. Now it haves the speed increase for every new cycle it goes through. Also I added a scoring system.
Thanks but, the rules say I'm allowed to submit three games. So you'll just have to pick which one is your favorite and give it a rating.Oh I actually didn't play yours. I only played the ones in the GMCWare program. I'll play and add it.
EDIT: @Misty I LOVE your game. But I thought about it, and unfortunately it doesn't fit into my ranking. It's something entirely different. Yours is not a single 7-second game but a whole collection of games on its own - and how it plays out is different too. If I had to compare yours to others in my list, yours would probably be on the first place. But I can't, sorry. I suggest you publish this game and share it in the games section on the forums. It's a nice game on its own!
Done. Check it out! Still, do publish it.Thanks but, the rules say I'm allowed to submit three games. So you'll just have to pick which one is your favorite and give it a rating.
