Me Too And It's Driving Me C R A Z Y

Gasssssp, what is this?! Game coding?! On Maple’s blog?! Never! Yes in fact, it is! I’ve crawled out of my garbage mood I’ve been in for weeks and I finally have motivation to code again, so it’s back to REPUBLIC for me!

I don’t actually have much right now that’s not spoilers or small fixes to previous parts, so this is all I have at the moment, heheh. Hopefully I’ll have more crap in the future.

At first I was like " this new story is boring as hell... . " but then I was like " HOLY SHIT WTF JUST HAPPENED "

What do you mean what just happened. Silly, we’re making window flowers

How the actual fuck is this game E rated

Love Nikki: rated E for Enjoy playing a lighthearted dressup game until a fucking rebellion starts and a major character gets fucking murdered

Hello, I know Guidebooks came out like a really long time ago but I just wanted to say that it was really fun to experience it. I especially like the main cast you decided to go with since it mixes up things a bit. Also rip Ludwig I wouldn’t be surprised if started to grey by 20 because of Ivan’s and Kyle’s shenanigans.

Hey! Sorry this took so long for me to get to, I meant to answer it when I got it like...... over a half a month ago...... instead of now

BUT anyway thank you so much, genuinely!

It's so nice to hear that you enjoyed the game, I'm sure the others will share the sentiment when I say that it really means a lot to us to get messages like this, especially for a jam game that honestly we weren't originally gonna put that much effort into, and then it turned into this whole thing where we made all sorts of things we had never intended to even consider, annnd then it accidentally became a high-maintinence project ewe;

Also yes poor Luddie he's gonna go home and take a 12 hour nap and wake up with grey hair and lower back pain lol Kyle and Ivan are very difficult to handle

Also also don't worry about the game being comparatively old, it's fine! Always good to get feedback, after all! (Annnd it doesn't even feel like we made it that long ago, time just sorta blends together sometimes lol)

Petition to the Love Nikki gods for an event that's just Shade's outfit in like 4 different colors I would pay diamonds for that I wanna be a proper edgy sharpshooter

Or a few different

Shades

Blame my friend she said that

squood

AAA Sorry to bug you again, one last jam question... How does judge feedback work? Are there numeric scores that people get in categories (categories like coding, design, ect given a score out of like 5 or 10 for each category based on how well they did?)? Do y'all give out score sheets/written critiques/ect for each game?

Ah don't worry about bugging me, you're fine!

With judge feedback, it's essentially no different from the kind of comment you'd get on a normal game page! It's simply us saying what we liked, what we didn't like, our opinions on the strengths and weaknesses of your project, etc. There's no scoring or anything like that. Every team (including teams comprised of a single person of course) will get individual feedback from each of us judges on their game. In the end, it's really just our thoughts and opinions, not any be all and end all judgement on what is good and what is bad, so don't worry too much about them, okay? ^^

Gamedev progress update from Cune and I! A text box mockup and a map WIP :D

So I feel like it should go without saying but just in case, the mockup is intentionally shitty and no we did not keep a random ass sand square we just thought it was funny.

My starry corridor is full so I need to delete some stuff so have my dumb starry corridors that I believe I haven't posted here yet hurr durr

That one was an attempt at a serious one because I wanted to play with the wind suit

And then

Yeah okay that's all continue scrolling now

I borrowed @sanctuaryofstars for this image because we were having some late night LN conversation

The original caption I wanted was "Me and the crew getting our magical girl powers so we can go save Flynn Love Nikki" but obviously that was not gonna fit. Curse you Love Nikki and your 50 character limits.

So anyway slightly off topic but I finally got enough shimmer stones to finish Orlando's dream weaver and

when is the boy coming home;;;; when will Flynn return;;;; save our boy;;;;;
