A collection of devlogs from forum users for the 9th big gdevelop game jam. Day 1: Basically did nothing for the most part. All I know about what I’ll do for the game is the premise, and the fact it will be another game in either the “testing grounds” series or something adjacent to it, like neo c…

Yeah, the piano was a leftover from when the music was meant to be more like the puzzle tracks @SnowyRawrGamer had in mind. Thing is though, I had a better piano sound sample from the soundfont I mentioned before, but I decided to go with the LMMS stock sample instead.

can you slap an effect on it - its quite a harsh sample? i’m not sure about the detune stuff when there’s no beat …is that on the piano?

@petlimpet The piano sample wasn’t really altered, other than the attack being slightly increased, since a weird pop sound plays when an audio sample doesn’t start silent, for some reason. The sample was also out of tune when I first added it as well, maybe that has something to do with it. This i…

its particularly at the start. [image] Yhac10: a weird pop sound plays when an audio sample doesn’t start silent that’s odd …there were weird clicks when i first played it but not the second time …but it might have been because i had cubase open. i played it again and didn’t mind it as much…

Day 7: Lots of people played my game and gave feedback, and I ended up releasing 2 updates in the same day! :smile:

ok - ‘Top Hat’ submitted! Added a hat with feathers that you can ride on today for level 4.

Hi Dave! Your game is great, graphically and in terms of gameplay. Fits well with the theme of the GameJam “Always higher”. Good luck to you for the GameJam. Xierra

Final day for me: Created a bunch of things, along with a tiny animation for the ending. I had my siblings play test my game. Both of them have no idea how to play, I suppose I should expect this from a big percentage of the players as well :frowning: Maybe I will spend some more time on the tutoria…
