i better put some TIME into this, hahah get it?

super stoked for this! first game jam since i've been on the site!

if anyone knows how to use wasm in tic-80 please tell me

Woah is game battle art a new format???

whoa
tic80??
game jam???
this is unreal

Hey so I want to make a thing for this but I don't want to do the art all by myself again. If anyone's willing to help me out with the art please message me on Discord. i have someone to help me with art now! thanks, mirageofher!

can we submit porn games

i checked and there are no rules against it

you probably shouldn't though

remember when Lia submitted the penis shmup to game jam 3? xd

i just noticed that as of tic80 v.1.1

we now have js ES2020 and python support! that means arrow functions and sensible class syntax for js and well... you know i have to use python. classes, tuples, dictionaries and list comprehensions?? sign me up! lua is officially obsolete

i got plenty of experience in lua when developing stuff on roblox. TIME to try it out on tic80 !!!

it's been a whole week and I've barely made any substantial progress :(

...since I'm here, does anyone know how metatables work (lua) ?
I've wanted to "dip my toes" into the concept, but I'm too scared to try :/

@Luigi64 do you mean using the keys WASM to control the character or compiling TIC80 to Web Assembly and hosting on a page?

If its the former lookup the key() and keyp() functions,
for the latter idk but it seems easy to embed on itch.io

@SRB2er i haven't used them much, but if you've done operator overloading in another language before, it's kinda similar to that; they just extend the existing functionality of tables (e.g. adding a comparison method or changing the default value of tables to something else)

also the Lua documentation is your friend!

i may need more time to finish my entry

edit: i definitely need more time

hey deved. I know TIME is a very limited resource and one can only do so much in 2 weeks.
but even if your game didn't reach the state you were aiming for. remember: everyone else also only got those 2 weeks, so the field of competitors is even and fair.
if we wld add a week now, it feels like we would create imbalance between those who planned within two weeks and managed to submit their game in time and those who failed to manage their time properly and worked for longer on their game.

unless literally all game makers around request an extension, I wld rather ask you to cut away some of the planned content instead.
I'm sure your game will be great even if it's shorter than expected!

fighting every urge to not post the nerd emoji

do it, post the emoji

I think I will win

Hello there, I've gone ahead and put out a new version of Lunar Harvest for Lunar Harvest enjoyers and unenjoyers alike to play in the future! It basically includes all of the important things I wanted to add in during the jam along with a much better overall game balance. You can find the link to and changelog for it on my recent post on the entry page, here! Cheers!
