Fadest Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 It would be a great #1. But other games too. Fortunately, we have 1 month to decide. Haven't play too much right now, but in my opinion, Titan and Minimal have great potential but need more work to become full games. But they will be great games once finished. Sybil's Nightmare Run is nice and give immediate fun but I need to play it more (only got to level 3) - Igor spoke about a surprise on Twitter Xump 2 is... Xump 2, a very good game and a very good port. Timeloop is very polished, addictive. And probably the most original of all games submitted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+karri Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 I will play through the games when time permits. Just now I am going to VID-20200814-WA0000.mp4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fadest Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 I vote for Karri's last submission 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevinMos3 Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 (edited) I'll vote for his last submission, but in a lake near MY home. Edit: Up to 21 in Timeloop. Still a long way from 40. Edited August 14, 2020 by KevinMos3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nop90 Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 @Igor there is a bug in the Xump2 rom: tThere is an image missing for testing purpose that wasn't activated before releasing and pressing pause it's possible to see what dirty tricks I use while coding. Is it possible to update the rom with this fix? It's a minor thing, so if not possible it's not a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Igor Posted August 16, 2020 Author Share Posted August 16, 2020 @karri and @Nop90 I've enabled uploads again so you can update your submitted ROMs. I'll be disabling uploads in a couple of days again so get your changes in soon please. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep. I am ready. I also uploaded the entry as 1024 block filled lnx file. And a lyx variant for AgaCart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fadest Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 Thanks you @Igor Just resubmitted a patched version : see devlog note on itch.io For those who flashed the previous version. Reflashing the new one will not affect you EEProm save, so you will keep your progression. but if you already deactivate more than 21 mines (you can check the number in achievements screen, when looking at the 21 Mines... achievement, this is the number at the bootom right), please telle me, I will send you a version that will unlock it next time you deactivate a mine.

Ehehe, my time living in London didn't go to waste! Also an easy way of describing what not to do. On 8/15/2020 at 12:03 AM, karri said: Me too. When saying "less is more" I did not mean number of games This "itch.io" jam engine sucks. It announced 29 entries but revealed just 6. Is there perhaps some explanation? Lots of people join but don't submit, then I had people submit some games I had to report for being racist, etc. There were some troll entries posted too. I'm happy with 6 games, but it would have been nice to get new developers to submit. I think we didn't advertise this competition as much as last year, but I did like the itch.io website to manage it all. I think for the next one I'll be sure to have each participant shown so everyone knows who's in the running. Looking forward to the ratings! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+karri Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 I vote for an open platform for the competition. You could announce the titles, the participants and the ratings during the competition. I believe it would add to the feeling of the competition to see how things evolve. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Igor Posted August 17, 2020 Author Share Posted August 17, 2020 That sounds fair @karri. I've been discussing a very small programming contest next, it will have a few mandatory things but should still be fun. Hopefully something that anyone on here can knock out in a few days. Just something for a bit of fun. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because of this I do not want GPS, electronic charts, engines, autopilots or anything even closely related on board when I am on vacation. I only sail or go kayaking. A paper chart and a magnetic compass is ok. But I leave my phone at shore. So no sailing games from me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nop90 Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 I'm trying to promote the contest on fb (with the help of Retroguru team and some other Italian Atari fans). This way I hope the number of rates will increase. Some articles on the contest start to pop up in the web. Today found this in french https://mag.mo5.com/actu/184100/les-jeux-en-lice-pour-le-concours-de-programmation-sur-lynx-2020/amp/ 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fadest Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 Yes, mo5.com allways supported the contest. @roots.genoa Now that mo5 mag is read internationally, you need to make an english and italian version 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roots.genoa Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 I wish I could, since a French only web site is clearly limited in terms of audience, but it would be a ton of work, and I surely wouldn't do it for free... -_- 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MO5 Mag is my #1 source of info to discover homebrew releases :)! On my end, I've posted about the contest on Reddit (on r/retrogaming and r/atarilynx), I hope it'll lead some additionnal players to discover the games and the contest!) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
