MAG GOT 1ST PLACE IN THE @GameDevTV GAMEJAM!!!!! im still in shock! i cant believe it! this was my first ever gamejam, and i spent upwards of 18h/day working on this game during that time with the help of @lucaoao thanks to everyone for the support!! #gamedev #indiedev #unity

@ABotticus thank you!!! right now it's trigger-based, storing each interactable trigger you entered into a list and then getting one that matches your state i might change it in the future to use proximity as well if it ends up becoming a problem, but im trying to keep it simple for now!

@sutabuni The carrying objects mechanic looks so satisfying! And the cable length limit for plugs is a nice touch for realism. How are you handling the interaction system - is it trigger-based or proximity-based?

quick showcase of some new stuff ive been working on: carrying objects & contextual interaction! i also polished magnetization and worked on a limited cable length feature for plugs #gamedev #indiedev #unity2d

quick lil update: i got sick so i had to rest for a few days, but im back working on the game!

i know people won't really care about this but im proud of it! look at how pretty, clean and organized everything is!! just a tiny bit of cleanup left (mostly testing) and the post-jam refac is done! then, time to focus on further developing the game, excited!! #gamedev #unity6

changed up how magnets work to be more intuitive! now while holding LMB and aiming your magnet towards an object, you slowly pull it towards you, and if you let go early, you stop pulling plugs will also automatically connect to close-by sockets when they stop

sorry i havent posted in a bit! been working on refining and organizing the project and the scripts, and also coming up with some new ideas for the game's base mechanics i'll have something to show soon!

i just realized the shader graph unity course i'm doing is teaching me how to control the 5 elements...

i made a special devlog about my experience making the game that (somehow) won the gamedevtv gamejam, please take a look!!! youtu.be/LGFXXqY1gLI

...which was easily fixed by changing collision detection to continuous... im sure mag frustrated a lot of people due to this, im sorry!!!

mann it took me forever to understand why you could die jumping on top of bridges or plugs sometimes in mag, but apparently it was due to unity's gravity sometimes being so strong that it would cause the character to teleport inside the thing when falling...

@Inomi133 i meant to reply on the previous post about this but the moment i saw you pick up the shotgun i laughed so hard! this is such a fun idea and also looks great!

Just a normal house cleanup with a shotgun👻 #gamedev #indiegame

im also thinking of releasing a devlog about the gamejam version too, but i wanna recover a bit first

still recovering from the very exhausting but fun gamejam! i think im decided on my next project though: ill be making a full version of mag! i think i can finish it in about a month and a half or two, but we'll see!

@Plapps1 i knoww i totally get it, don't worry about it though! we gotta persevere! dont give up!

@sutabuni Same…. even replying here now is like - am I doing it just for self promotion? Ughh… I hate a situation where you’re supposed to pretend you’re not doing what you’re doing…..

marketting is really tough... i feel bad doing it too because i dont wanna spam people's timelines with my game! but i also want people to see my game! its so difficult!

quick showcase of our magnet-based game's base mechanics! you can magnetize plugs, use them as platforms, or connect them to sockets to power up the level! free & playable on browser at yukiiris.itch.io/mag #gamedev #indiedev #unity2d #pixelart #gamejam

@Tsalnir your support means a lot! seriously, thanks so much

@sutabuni I can't offer any great advice on how to help, but I will say so that your works are great and I'm sure people will notice them while you make more, I for one will be waiting for what you make next

@Tsalnir thank you! thats fair, i really wanna show it to more people but im just having a bit of trouble getting traction

@sutabuni Your game was very fun, it's a good thing to show it off

MAG has had a lot of bug fixes and improvements since this post!!! come give it a try on yukiiris.itch.io/mag #gamedev #indiedev #unity2d #pixelart #gamejam
