Hi, It's Another Game Jam Question... Can You Share The Theme And Gimmick So I Can Get An Idea Of Which

you say that as if you didn't help develop two of these three

My Published Hetagame Masterlist

I decided this should probably be my first hetagame-related post that I make right now since I know I have an (outdated) page full of information and links to my games BUT you can't find that on mobile and I'm too lazy to edit that right now SO I'll do my best to keep this list up to date This list is gonna contain both my solo projects and group projects I worked on.

#1 is Child's Garden This was a group project between myself, @unlimited-trash-spill @sanctuaryofstars and @noizy-bunny Game page description: Go on a little misadventure with a group of kids trying to save their beloved kindergarten from closing for good! Hijinks include launching traitors off into the sky, stealing a random bike to avoid responsibility, getting your parents arrested and more all the while trying to raise funds! Do you think you have what it takes to jump on this crazy bandwagon in hopes of making enough money to save the kindergarten? And their pudding! Never forget the pudding. The game has a warning for serious topics taken lightly, since all of the main characters are children, after all. There's also two mentioned ships which consist of two of the pairs of parents in the game, FrUK and AusHun.

#2 is Guidebooks (See the game page description for the full name I'm not typing all that lmao) This was another group project between the same people as above. Game page description: 17-year old Ludwig Beilschmidt has been invited on a camping trip by his friends Matthew, Ivan, and Kyle! He agrees, and soon enough finds himself at the campsite where the four boys intend to spend a week getting closer to nature and just having fun! The only problem is, this is Ludwig's first time in the woods. Ever. He's always been more the sort to stay home and review flash cards, rather than go outside and explore. On top of that, it turns out that Matthew isn't that great at keeping Ivan and Kyle in line. That sort of thing was usually his brother Alfred's job, who's been banned from coming with them due to Alfred-brand shenanigans. So it seems that this trip has already started out badly. Can they pull it together and end up having a fun time? Or will this camping trip end up going south? Find out in "My Friends Invited Me to go Camping, but My Only Experience Is Reading Guidebooks!" The only thing worthy of a "content warning" is that there's swearing so if you don't like that be aware ig The game contains no ships, but speaking of the game I made a dumb stupid trailer for it that's linked on the game page and I'd be very happy if you guys checked that out I worked really hard on it at the time.

Now we're getting to my solo games So technically speaking I have two currently published games but one of them is old and bad and I'm currently working on a reboot so please ignore that one thank you.

#3 is Freedom This one was a solo project that I decided to see if I could make in six days. And I did. So that's a thing. Game page description: Alfred is standing in a dark room. How did he get there? There's no way of telling. Where is he? There's no way of knowing. How long does he have to escape? Ten minutes. And it's your job to get him out. As far as warnings go, this game was made for halloween, so there's what you'd expect from a halloween game, mostly blood and cursing. Uhhhh yeahhhh that's it

This page will be expanded as I/we eventually put out more games.

I don't really feel like opening any of my projects and going looking for a good screenshot to take right now sooooo here's an extremely rough diagram of a spaceship layout for a sci-fi game @unlimited-trash-spill and I are working on on and off the ship isn't gonna look exactly like this (or probably even that close tbh, for example realistically the bridge wouldn't actually connect to the boarding hall directly but I made it with a program with grid-based limitations so that's as close as I could put it without messing the rest of the diagram up) this is mostly just to give us an idea of what rooms we want near each other and what rooms we need :p

For the love nikki ask thingie: what about 4,5 & 15? owo

addaffssgsg thank you friend. Tbh I'd forgotten that was even a thing so thankss

4. Who is your favorite character in the chapters?

So the funny thing is I both do and don't have an answer for this lol. Knowing everything I do from events and chapters and dreamweavers and all, I'd pick Flynn. I am weak for characters like that. Based only on chapters though, I don't know for sure really. Bobo has a sharp tongue and causes a lot of funny moments, as well as having an interesting role in the later chapters, Ace has a great design and is obviously smart, and Kaja is just a mood. Hard choice.

5. Which chapter is/was most difficult?

Uhhh god I don't really remember how I did on most of them, just that I did it. Only problems I even remember having are the story related thing in chapter fifteen (which was a coded thing) and chapter 9-2 princess with that f r e a k i n g suit requirement. So I guess I'd go with 9 because that was annoying to run into earlier on in the game.

15. What suit from the other servers are you dying for them to add?

I. Want. Me. My. Wasteland. Lifetime. Suit.

No but seriously it's so gorgeous, I can't wait. Other than that, I think I'm just playing "wait and see" because I can be rather picky with my tastes in suits sometimes and I haven't really seen very many that pique my interest.

Thank you again for asking ^^

Realized I should probably make a standalone post for this and not just update my masterlist because most people will not see that soooooooooo Four months ago my friend and I made a hetagame and I forgot to post about it until now!!! It's called Apple Butter and it's a small little Ukraine-centric game where you work on an apple orchard and you also make apple treats like pies and parfaits and stuff and sell them! And then you go and talk to the fellow townsfolk and also your fellow orchard workers (who happen to be ghosts!)

It's not long and it's just a small cute lil game that the two of us made in 14 days and we'd both be really happy if you checked it out!

I made something dumb today

Okay so I am really disappointed with how the dawn front event went down. I am not „horny“ for shade and i find it dumb that salty players reduce us to that. You’re freaking ace and I’m on the spectrum too. We’re not salting about people for picking their queen kimi either jeez. Let people allow to pick characters they want, its not hard.

Ya know what me too

((RANT INCOMING BOIS))

Like I'm sure there are some people who picked Flynn bc "he's hot" to them-and don't get me wrong that's perfectly fine-but just assuming that's the only reason anyone would ever pick said character is just honestly kind of rude to everyone who chose him. As if he doesn't have his own story, personality, motivations, etc. that might make him an appealing choice to players. No he's just an edgy uwu animu boi fangirl bait design right?

Thing is we're only having this discussion because we won. If the majority of night order players flocked to Shade but the dawn wings ended up winning no one would give two shits about who chose Flynn or why. Lemme tell y'all something. I chose Flynn because as an aspiring author I found all of the good guys boring and stealth has always been my shit. Yes all of them. Louie is barely a character as of right now, Orlando is fine but he's so typical morally just man in a suit. Kimi is overrated imo and don't even get me started on Bai Yongxi. I know we have a dreamweaver for this guy but I still feel like I've never met him before. So then, what about the night order? We barely know Reid and the guy he teamed up with so that choice was out for me, and Nidhogg's abrasive personality just wasn't doin it for me personally.

Who does that leave? Flynn. Shade. The secret weapon. The assassin with two names.

Ever since I was young I've always found sharpshooters, assassins, ninjas-basically anyone who could outsmart their opponent with not only tactics but agility and speed-cool. I'm a small girl and I was never very strong, so that kind of thing was the kind of stuff I idolized-and part of what lead me to develop my aesthetic the way I did. THAT's why I picked Flynn. It was my personal opinion and preference.

Do I expect anyone to know that? Of course not. Only my close friends know about my childhood. However, I'm not the only person who picks characters based on things other than "how hot I find them," clearly. I'll admit, Flynn's character design is aesthetically pleasing to an edgelord like myself. But if that was the only reason, I'd just go with anyone who remotely resembled that sort of style.

Not to mention the psychological aspects of it all. Morally grey characters are always more interesting from a psychological standpoint, as they present as more human-more relatable to the average person.

I'm getting a little bit off topic but my point is that there's more than one reason Shade won the war. Something else I need to mention is the pre-war salt.

All over the facebook, amino, reddit, etc. before we even got the event implemented were people salting about losing last time and making passive aggressive comments about how they'd lose to " Shade's thirst army" again. Now I had already made up my mind to choose him again, but think for a second about how a new player would feel seeing all that. Do you really think new players would want to join a team full of passive aggressive people who can't let the fact that their fave lost essentially a fictional popularity contest go after a full year? Because I sure as hell wouldn't. That's an extremely unwelcoming environment right there.

So what do I have left to cover? The morality speeches? Yeahh.....

So listen. I saw this mostly on the facebook, but I'll mention it here.

Fiction and real life are two separate things. People are allowed to like problematic charas so long as they understand that said chara is in fact problematic. Supporting a character who's done morally wrong things does not mean said person supports said morally wrong things. If you sit there and try to guilt trip people who just wanted to pick their favorite character in a fictional event that effects nothing ever because they like a specific character and tell them that means they support murder or whatever, I'm sorry but you need to go back to elementary school or something because that's not how anything has worked in the history of things working.

Now with all this said I want to stress that not everyone is like this of course. There are people who remained silent. There are people who know how to make jokes about their loss, and I thank those of you who have done so-you're bridging the gap, my friends. Of course I don't believe everyone is like this. But the sheer amount of people degrading others and belittling them because of a character preference both pre and post event is astounding.

In the end this whole event was basically just a popularity contest. And you know what I see? I see people who can't handle that not everyone shared their character preferences. I see people who don't understand that just because someone favors one character over another doesn't mean they automatically hate the other character. I see people who are so petty that they'll go out of their way to make excuses as to why they lost. Yeah, it was a population imbalance. But you know what? That's just how it happened. If the population imbalance had favored Kimi, or Orlando, or Bai, or Louie, would we be seeing this level of garbage? No. This event effects nothing. Not the story, not real life, nothing.

But you know what does? Unbearable amounts of salty people pointing fingers and yelling "thirst" to the point where I've started to wonder why I got involved in this godforsaken community in the first place. Let people enjoy their dressup game, ya watery salt cubes. You'll get another chance next time around, and I'm just saying-maybe you'd do better if you focused a bit less on yelling about how it's other people's fault you lost. Yea, losing sucks. But in order for there to be a winner, someone has to lose. That's how competitions work.

I feel like I had more points but I'm just so done with this garbage. Whatever. Point is let people like the characters they like instead of getting salty that everyone doesn't worship Kimi as much as you do. It's not that deep.

I'm done here. This stupid. Sorry to anyone who isn't contributing to this who had to see this. I appreciate you. So much. Oh and by the way, I have nothing against Kimi stans, so long as y'all don't do this kinda shit. Everyone has the right to have whatever character be their favorite no matter which one it is.

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

This comp theme is just "Hot Take: what's the worst hair in the game in your opinion?"

ASDFWGDFGJA NO @bluelobstersdev DON'T BE SORRY THAT'S GREAT
