Click-o-Calypse Reviews

A few YouTube channels were kind of enough to do a playthrough/review of our Dungeon Crawler Jam 2026 entry Click-o-Calypse.

Overall we ranked #26 out of 78 entries and in the Audio category we placed #6!

I recently partook in Dungeon Crawler 2024, a game jam with the unsurprising theme of dungeon crawlers.

It was another 9 day game jam but unfortunately due to a number of circumstances our team did not finish our game in time. The team Discord got pretty quiet after that.

Instead of letting the tracks I made go unheard I decided to release them on Bandcamp for free as well as putting them up on itch.io as an Asset Pack for anybody to use in their game.

Dungeons of Daggorath

I believe the first dungeon crawler I ever played was Dungeons of Daggorath which featured an interesting mechanic where your character’s audible heart rate would speed up as you took more and more damage. Pretty impressive for a TRS-80 Color Computer 2!

This past weekend I participated in Ludum Dare 55. The team included Substain and Roburab who I met in a previous game jam and really enjoy working with.

The game jam was only 72 hours and we ended up with one level, so my musical contribution was the main menu and battle music.

I had to deal with some personal matters out of town during the weekend so I ended up making the action music on my laptop just using the computer keyboard. Now I’ve got my eye on a Komplete Kontrol M32 for future outings and the capability to work on music outdoors.

By the time I got back home we only had a few hours left, but that kind of pressure can often help you make decisions a lot faster!

Smooth Fonts in Wwise on macOS

Fri, 22 Mar 2024 22:21:00 GMT

I’ve been learning Wwise over the last week or so and I’m finding their learning materials really helpful. The combination of the written steps in their Learning site along with the videos they have on YouTube makes it clear how to accomplish things.

One thing that has bothered me is that I’m on macOS the fonts look terrible!

I had a hunch that Wwise uses Wine to run on macOS so, after some Googling around, I found some steps to get higher resolution font support with Wine on macOS. The steps are slightly different when you’re doing it from within Wwise so I thought it would be useful to share those with others.

Start Wwise
In the macOS menubar for the app click on File > Run Command…
In the dialog that comes up enter regedit for the Command and click Run
Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\Mac Driver
Click on Edit > New > String Value
Set Name to RetinaMode
Set Data to Y
Close Regedit
In the macOS menubar for the app click on File > Run Command…
In the dialog that comes up enter winecfg for the Command and click Run
Navigate to the Graphics tab
Change the Screen Resolution from 96 to 192
- Note: You may need to use the Tab key to navigate to the input for this value
Close Wine Configuration
Close and Restart Wwise
Enjoy smooth fonts!

Thanks to mcxiaoke for his Blurry font issue with Wine 2.0 on macOS 10.12.2 GitHub Gist explaining how to fix this.

Rent-Seek-Kill

Fri, 22 Mar 2024 17:26:00 GMT

A few days ago I took part in Godot Wild Jam 67, a 9 day game jam using the Godot Engine.

The theme of the jam was “Parasite” and I found myself on a very productive and impressive team. The end result was a game titled Rent-Seek-Kill.

<a href="https://polymonic.bandcamp.com/album/rent-seek-kill">Rent-Seek-Kill by polymonic</a>

You can download the soundtrack for free from Bandcamp: Rent-Seek-Kill Soundtrack.

I’ve also made the music available as an asset pack on itch.io that others can use in their games: Rent-Kill-Kill Music. The sprites from the game (made by Kyveri) are also available as an asset pack: Rent-Seek-Kill Sprites Pack.
