GOLD RUSH 1898 Why sell shovels when you can rush for gold? A game made in 10 days for #GBJAM14. Code, art, music by Alphonsus. alphonsus.itch.io/gold-rush-1898

Overall pretty happy with how my #GBJAM14 entry turned out. I will be submitting in a while, but here's a look back at the first mockup I drafted on the first hour of the jam vs. the final output! #PixelArt #GameDev #Love2D

But first, a bonus level. Because why not? #GBJAM #PixelArt #GameDev #Love2D

Final stretch! #GBJAM14

I fortunately have some extra time to add in hint cards in between levels, because in-game tutorials are 🤌. #GBJAM14 #PixelArt #GameDev

Okay I cheated a little and gave up on Famistudio as I didn't have much time left. Went back to Garageband and got the Magical 8bit Plugin to work, so it's all legit Gameboy sounds still! Came up with a banger western theme for the game plus a reprise for the shop. #GBJAM14

What's jammin', jammers? Today, we are learning how to make chiptune music with Famistudio and hope to get something for our #GBJAM14's BGM by the end of the day.

Heads up — Archers! Today I tried to solve the issue of not having much going on below the railway track by adding a new enemy type. 3 days left for #GBJAM14! #Love2D #PixelArt #GameDev #GBJAM

Day 6 of #GBJAM14. Productive day – implemented the entire Shop scene. Maybe spent too much time coding the borders so they can be dynamically resized. Also hooked upgrades to game scene. Have I finally decided on the main palette? Tomorrow we find out! #PixelArt #GameDev

It's Day 5.5 of #GBJAM14! Get in loser, we're going shopping. #GameDev #Love2D #PixelArt

And we are halfway through #GBJAM14! Didn't get much done yesterday, but good news is we got a player prospector (or cowboy?) sprite goin, some bat enemies, and variable jump for tighter platforming controls. LFG! #GameDev #PixelArt #Love2D

"OH SHIT" Mostly worked on boring but important stuff for the #GBJAM14 game today so I thought I'd end Day 3 with something fun. The function is literally called rainCoinsLikeSonic() #PixelArt #GameDev #GBJAM

My #GBJAM14 game is leaning towards a western theme so I'm listening to a lot of Ennio Morricone. Expect some Am-G-F-E's on the game's music – if I have time to make one! www.youtube.com/watch?v=J9EZ...

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly • Main Theme • Ennio Morricone

Following my own advice of working horizontally instead of vertically, so today I'm making the level complete screen before proceeding with more game loop improvements. Day 3 of #GBJAM14 is underway! #Love2D #PixelArt #GameDev

I can't believe it. STARHAULER ranked 3rd for Audio, 89th Enjoyment, and 91st Overall. Thanks to the few dozen people who rated! And congrats to everyone who participated in #BrackeysGameJam. If you finished and submitted a game, then you've already won.

Currently in analysis paralysis mode as to which palette to use 🌈 Probably just going to put them all in and pick a random one at each round start lmao #GBJAM

#GBJAM14 Day 2! Finally got a little cart goin. 🛒 Oh, and it jumps too! 😎 #Love2D #PixelArt #GBJAM

First 24 hours of #GBJAM 14 done! Came up with some sprites for blocks, spikes and coins. Might have procrastinated a bit on the tile variations though that I forgot about the player sprite. 😅 Tomorrow we figure out if the game loop even works at all! #Love2D #PixelArt

CHOO CHOO MOTHERFUCKA Minecart thing now working. Now what? Guess I'll figure it out tomorrow, after I get some sleep. #GBJAM #Love2D

We got minecart track generation and some README going. Onwards and upwards #GBJAM #Love2D

Alphonsus reporting in for #GBJAM 14! Lots of firsts for me this time, and yet to see if I can actually submit something by the end of it. Going in to this jam with one purpose only: to learn—whether it's pixel art, making chiptune music, or new code for my Love2D boilerplate.

Greetings, Starhauler. This job should be quick and easy, but I don't want to get my hands dirty with the Raiders. My crew at the Love Machine needs these parts. Bring it to them safely, and I'll give that trash piece of junk you call a hauler a tune-up. What say you? #BrackeysGameJam #gamedev
