The only edge I have over you is that I have a computer. You have probably at least 10x as much experience as I do when it comes to making games.

Though uh, yeah, it does help to have a full sized working desktop… so advantage me on that aspect.

Wow, this is awesome, I like the changes, kind of curious about those bonus themes!

Sadly, I can’t participate in this one, but I’m looking forward to seeing what you all will come up with.

It’s about the time I remind everyone about my library of tools and shortcuts.
I suggest looking through and experiment with these bundles to help give ideas on how to build what you need. From list of examples, UI & camera, live tools, and an advance expression guide.

The Bundle Library is Here! - JR 01

p.s.

(we have another project that I hope gets finished soon before the Jam starts)

Don’t know if it’ll be helpful or not, but I made a faux lighting system that might work for an atmospheric game as well:

Player Lighting System

It’s inspired by Pizza’s hidden wall example

This is similar to how I made the sound in Nyctophobia.
I do advise that very very large proximities can cause lag, this size should be fine but I suggest using the distance bundle when lag does start to occur.

I’ll have to look into that once I have a bit more time on my hands:D

Also, by the sound, do you mean like the distance effecting the volume? If so, I need to take a look because that’d be helpful

Its very old, but I believe I just used distance < 100 from the player and used “100-A” to convert distance to volume. I could make a new example later with between a distance of any 2 numbers that convert to %.

I think would be a very helpful example, but I’ll take a look into it myself. Thanks for the suggestions and everything!

I’m planning on making a small funny game about the Cacodemon for this game jam but I don’t know if it can be featured or not. Is that ok?
