January #UE4JAM, January 14-17th. THEME: Don't Push the Button!

These last two posts make me worried that we’re going to have a lot of tower defense style games… I was working in that direction myself.

BEWARE!!!

I thought we were going to get games with balls rolling to click a button or horror games where the button builds a new scary map. Both of those were by me though, hopefully we don’t get a stack of tower defense

Oh man this flu is really taking it’s toll on me. Regardless I’m going to press on and try to make at least something to submit. Started yesterday and got my basic endless runner setup up and running. Today on schedule is a model for the player and some variance in the generator. Hopefully my remains functional.

If you don’t get ideas, be sure to ask other people if they have any ideas, they don’t even have to be game makers.
I will entry with game that’s made inside UMG, there’s literally no cameras in the whole game. Why? Because I didn’t have access to my pc for this weekend and had to do something very optimized with my macbook… Next time I want to make 3d game :smiley:

This is where I’ve gotten so far

Could still use more randomized obstacles and need to setup proper restart mechanism when player collides. I’ll propably continue tomorrow and see what I get done. :slight_smile:

Finished the whole game with time to spare. Then I built it to the sad realization that spline mesh collisions don’t work in the cooked build.

Feels bad man…

A question on submissions. Can we submit works in progress as fallback incase we don’t complete everything we’d like to? It would be great to put early playable versions up, but I saw one submission per contestant in the rules, so that left me wondering if it meant one game/prototype or one version/upload only.

Cheers,

Alan.

Cyberblast Studios got a 4th

Curious, for the next GameJam, could we sign up after the Theme is announced? The same day of the announcement all four of my jobs decided to contract me work. lol So I have to bail

Judging by the submissions, I can see why I was having a hard time coming up with a solid idea. A lot of them…were exactly what I expected aside from the joke games. :stuck_out_tongue:

Pre-Show stream happening now (not that exciting).

Playthrough stream of all submissions happening around 45 minutes after submission deadline (9:45PST)

Update: Many hours later, finally done.

Indeed you can :smiley:

I have a couple of treats for one to four of you who liked my game type stuff.

First, a new version that I cooked up real quick. The only difference between this and the original is I’ve included a Time Attack mode. See how far you can get. It’s fun! You can find that here:

Second, I’m releasing (most) of the project files. Sadly, I don’t have the rights to distribute the audio, as it’s marketplace content. The rest of it, in all it’s glory or lack thereof, can be found here:

It’s a 10.0.2 project. A reminder that it is a game jam project, so you can expect to see some really messy blueprints arranged in slapdash manner. 90% the logic is, hilariously, in the Player Controller.

I’ve lost my to win a shirt because I read pm instead of am and my connection has 800kb upload :frowning:
How sad it is to be poor …
but when you finish up I leave the link for those who want to try it.

shout out to for the stream. Watched before bed, when I woke up, during lunch. Always on! Will go back and watch what I missed. Super entertaining. Truly the Hero of the Peole. Great games. Congrats!

Hey,

So what happens now?

My Game
out of date :frowning:
