Humble Bundle Mojam 2-17/2-19

[Laglace]

This weekend Mojang is going to develop a game in 60 hours. If you donate during the time frame, you will not only help the development, but also receive the game and whatever else is given away. You can go to the site now to vote on what kind of game they will make.

I can't even tell what you're supposed to do with the train tracks and items in the final version of catacomb snatch.

You have to get to a cup in the middle of the tomb once thats done go back to camp and press x that will send bots to get some stuff and bring it back there they will keep going till you have 50 of it

Forgive me if some of this is out of line but to anyone following this thread I want to do a favor to you all. I've been tracking this Mojam quite actively since yesterday and I want to share all I know. Rumor is that by midnight (PST) tonight all three games should be posted. Right now the build of Catacomb Snatch has at least one known game breaking bug and that is that if you build a harvester (one of the things for 300 which will collect money for you) and it gets destroyed the game locks up.

You can fix this by doing the following (with the posted source code available): Take the dropAllMoney() statement from the render function to the tick function in the com.mojang.mojam.entity.building.harvester.java file

If you are unsure how to compile the source and all that or if you want alllllllll the latest info on all three games (like how to actually play them) please refer to this pastebin entry, http://pastebin.com/uevZe1C0.

If anything else big happens in the near future I'll update everyone, provided I'm not too busy enjoying the games.

Dang, I totally forgot about this. I really wanted to try out the stuff they made, too.

I'm going to wait until the game-breaking bugs are worked out and the first few pieces of DLC are available. Maybe wait for the Zerg campaign.

Heaven help you if you manage to string together both train cars on Broadside express. With 2 cars you move almost exactly the same speed as the scorpions and turn very slowly which means it is nearly impossible to line up a shot on them as they will just chase you around in circles and keep out of your line of sight. They can't catch you, and you can't kill them, lol.

so when can we play these game that mojam made? and what is fists of resistance?

 

[guardian_owl]

If you donated you should already have a link that humble bundle sent to your email which has the 2 out of 3 games up. Catacomb Snatch is Mojam's game, Broadside Express is Wolffire's game (and it is mostly rubbish) and Fist of the Resistance is Oxeye Game Studio's game, and will possibly never be finished.

Humble Bundle Mojam is over.

Fists of Resistance by Oxeye Game Studio is due to be released sometime today:

Wolfire Games have released the soundtrack for their game Broadside Express on the bundle download page, along with source code and an experimental Flash version of their game.


These pages have good overviews on how to play Catacomb Snatch and Broadside Express:

Due to the source code releases, several fans have taken it upon themselves to finish/enhance the games.

Ubersoft has taken the source code for Catacomb Snatch and have made their own fork: Uber Catacomb Snatch, which fixes some bugs and adds some features:

On the Wolfire forum, people are discussing completing/expanding Broadside Express. Game composer Anton Riehl has contributed a second track for future use in the game, and has stated he'll contribute additional music as needed.

This new game looks like the best so far. Anyway to download Broadside? Mine just goes to a web player.

I thought the event was great fun! I thought the art creation was the most engaging and had me coming back to check the progress. For what the streams provided, the chat windows giving ongoing commentary, and some builds uploaded along the way a donation was totally worth it.

I hope a Broadside project takes all the assets and makes it into a RTS or even better a Battlefield-style multiplayer game. What it ended up being was much less than I hoped for. Conversely, Catacomb snatch is in every way more than I thought it would be. No slam to Mojang. I think it's just impressive and enjoyable.

if anyone has Fists of Resistance, i would be willing to trade Sideway:NY for it. I wasn't able to donate so if anyone can help me out that would be great thanks.
