Mojang creating a game in 60 hours for charity - Humble Bundle Mojam
- Thread starter RibbedHero
- Start date
Oxeye did something similar last night. But the hair helps.Currently the game seems to be just a shoot'em up, haven't seen any RTS elements so far. Also needs a lot of gore. Cloth from mummies flying around, bouncing monocles and vaporized hats. And undead mummy eyeballs following you around for a while after you kill a mummy.
I guess my PC is quite old. The current build runs with 500+ fps on Notch's PC. The Humble Bundle build runs with 31 fps ony my PC with a lot less going on.
Where do you play the latest build?
I think this game is going to be one big stereotype of the settings and genres. Just remember the "steampunk rage" of the graphics guy yesterdayHa, most dividing RTS feature added first

Lol, true. Nonetheless anxious to see the final results of the jam!
If you contribute you get a link to watch the stream and also download the latest builds.
Currently only the Mojang one is available.

On the page you get sent to when you donated. It's right below the stream.
The latest build is still the one from yesterday evening, though (without protagonist art, particle effects or fog of war).

It sucks that you can't destroy 2 of the enemy spawners because they're on top of the blocks >_< I really wanted to wipe them out
Edit: didn't think that it was randomly generated. Oh and come at me GAF
Can't find the last 2 enemies. I did have some minor complaints though:
*You shouldn't have to stop shooting to pick up the jewels/coins
*You shouldn't have to stop shooting in order to change the direction that you're shooting in
*When you shoot your gun, the number of enemies goes up a bit, even if you've destroyed all of the enemy spawners, and then goes back do
I know that the game isn't finished yet. Just some minor complaints that I had with this version.
They are doing a game that is based on the second most voted and second least voted genre/setting from the Mojang vote. Beat'em Up Dungeon Crawler in a postapocalyptic WW2 setting. You're in a Nazi fortress and have to collect Nazi gold and escape. However somebody said it's gonna be a multiplayer only game, so I don't know how that will work. They have been talking about AI on their to do list so I think it will be singleplayer as well.

Sounds just like a track from the Uncharted series, haha.

Are you supposed to link that for non-donators (at least until they give the okay)?
They've been posting builds in their stream chats.Are you supposed to link that for non-donators (at least until they give the okay)?
Ah cool, I didn't know if the links were restricted to the humble bundle download links (like for Mojang's game) or not.
Controls feel great.

10 hours left! Holy fuck!
I wasn't able to watch last night, but I'm gonna relax with the stream running all day.
No idea how they will finish this in time!

Any chance they'll go overtime?
10 hours to go! 328k donated so far. Charity needs more money and the bundle needs more buyers.
I will donate after lunch
The idea itself is pretty awesome. Doing such a thing for charity alone - great! We players should organize a huge global gaming marathon for charity. Stream games live and collect money. Not exactly a new idea - but there were only some smaller events in the past. I really want to organize something huge. Who's on board? lol

This is what I am asking myself too. Maybe not 60 hours in 3 days overtime, but continue working on it nonetheless.

Twitter said:No less than 7 people pulled an all-nighter last night at #Mojam That's worth a donation!
I have no idea if the games will turn out semi-decent either. I liked what I saw of the Mojang one, I just want it to have a way to win it, maybe fewer enemies, and maybe one or two more mechanics or something.

Donated. Sounds like this will be fun.
They were just playing the Mojang game on the stream and it looks pretty cool now. I guess killing monsters gives you gold or whatever, and you use that to go back to a little explorer base and buy things like bombs (or turrets?). Bombs can blow up walls and turrets are little sentries that stop enemies from coming through an area I guess?

Yep, Oxeye is the studio of Jens, the new Minecraft developer. Mojang hired Jens then agreed to publish Oxeye's first game, Cobalt.
I think Oxeye has free reign to come into the Mojang studios and develop while they're there - I know they closed their studio a few months ago during a hilarious Saturday morning where Jens was trying to get into the office and pack things, but was locked out.
