laoo Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 I hope the abysmal silence on this whole subforum is a sign that everyone is working hard on his/her entry to the game compo It's funny how this competition differs from AtariGamer's in terms of forum activity.

+karri Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 At least the time is short. I have so many small bugs left on my entry and so little time to fix them so there is not much time to chat... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laoo Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 So @karri are you going to cheat about being sick to drink free beer with fellow atarians watching competitions? ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbo Laser Lynx Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 I'm done with pixeling and exporting the graphics, so five nights now for coding the game, doing the music, describing the entry and recording a video of it. It's a very simple game so it might be possible though. It seems that it's possible to submit an entry later than the 6th too, but risking problems with presentation. Quote The entries need to be submitted to the party organisers no later than one week before the party. This way the organisers will be able to make sure that all the entries are working fine on the party hardware. Authors who decide to submit the entires later risk the problems with presentation during the party. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My game is currently being beta-tested while I doing bugfixing and polishing, so I'm confident that I'll be able to submit something for the deadline! (I wasn't so sure to make it 2 weeks ago :p) It'll be a very small and simple game, but I hope people will enjoy it anyway Edited November 25, 2019 by drludos 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Igor Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 A bit of a different group of people in this competition I guess too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+karri Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 I just decided to half the levels in the game and polish the graphics. My biggest problem is that the music is nice but it does not fit in memory. So I will make it with 3 sounds only. Plus I have to get rid of the small tonal variations to save space. Perhaps I cheat and mix in the original soundtrack in the demo video? I could always blame on bad speekers if the Lynx sounds hollow. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nop90 Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 The game will be presented with demo video, or played on real HW? I have no info about this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbo Laser Lynx Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 (edited) I think the general rules said that if failing to get the game to work on real hardware after three tries they play the video instead. Yes, here it is: Quote In case of any unexpected problems with running the entry during the party (we will perform three attempts), the MP4 recording will be replayed to the audience instead. http://sillyventure.eu/en/compos Edited November 26, 2019 by Turbo Laser Lynx 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+karri Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 Hmm. So if I MAKE the game fail they use the mp4 video... What a devilish idea. I like it! So here is a small "sample" of Silly Sister music. Eat your hearts out guys. Recorded from a "real Lynx". If you can believe it.

+karri Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 Just kidding. This is the problem I have. The real Lynx sounds awful compared to this mp3. That was why I used quotes. Sorry for the confusion. Obviously I cannot fake a mp4 video and claim that this sound track comes from a Lynx. I have spent tons of hours trying to get the single channels sound even remotely decent together. There is just 2 notes active most of the time. A single note melody and a bass line.

+karri Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 It is just so frustrating to compose anything on the Lynx. I should really take sage's route and connect the Lynx as the primary sound generator to my keyboard. Then I might be able to compose something that works. Well, tonight I make a final valiant effort to just squeeze the tune in the Lynx by force. The good thing is that you can toggle the bg music off by pressing Opt2. As I cannot be at Silly Ventures in person I add a picture of "that guy responsible of the music" that you can use during the presentation: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rj1307 Posted November 27, 2019 Author Share Posted November 27, 2019 Due to the fact that I will be presenting your SV games, I have a huge request to send me text files with the description of the game. You can include in it what you would like to say about your work, it will be said on the compo in Polish and English. I need some time to get ready, so don't wait until the last minute Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
