Luanti Game Jam: Day 21

Day 21

Finally. It's over.

I did some dialogue changes, moved the hand registering out of "void_hand" and into my init module, and some other cleanup.

Then, with an hour left, I decided "screw it; I'm adding achievements". I managed to add the awards mod in and add a few achievements right as the time ended. I unfortunately wasn't able to add a "win" achievement in time, and one of the achievement progressions is slightly messed up, but they're in there.

Awards mod

Since I'm not sure what the policy is for the Game Jam, I've decided to only modify what I need to modify in order to get the game submitted to ContentDB[1].

Time to review other people's games! I have downloaded and played through the few games that are currently available and they're all interesting. Let's see what happens.

I think I'll post a reflection tomorrow.

EDIT: It's been approved!

ContentDB page

The code is on Codeberg:

Codeberg repository

[1]: During that process, I made three releases: a 0.2 with my final code changes, a 0.2.1 to rename the license file, and a 0.2.2 to move the license information from the README to the license file. The releases are just to be safe.
