Amazing ludum dare game! Played it for about 2 hours and managed to get 7 of the 8 world records. :D (I have no clue how someone got 1.61 in the first level, best I can get is 1.88) Can't wait for Splotch 3 ;)
Thanks, and well done on getting the top spot (for the moment anyway). It's really cool to see someone take it so competitively! Yeah I do rather doubt that 1.6 time is legitimate; I'll probably remove it if no one else can even get close. Cheers :)
Haha, nice! Seems like the times improved quite a bit since I played it. :) I'm working on getting them back! Already have the WR for stage 3 back. (2:95)
Update: Currently back at 1st place on the leaderboards with WR/tied in stage 1,2,3,5,6 and 7. On the other two stages I can still improve by a total of 0.06 but I'll wait with that till someone manages to push me of the leaderboards again. :p
What a fantastic insight. I love when game jam participants post these (Brackeys has uploaded behind the scenes of his entries before, too). Great job Sebastian!
Leave a link if you made a game for LD40, I'd love to play some of your entries (I can only play web/mac games). You can try your hand at Splotch 2 over here: sebastian.itch.io/splotch-2
Congratulations on your entry, looks really cool, will try it later. Were u using physics.Simulate to verify the results? Here's my entry, i'm the programmer of the team. ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/40/escape-key
Splotch is lovely simple and feels perfectly polished. I wonder if you set all the physics simulation in rigidbodies correctly, I think there is a way to make it deterministic. My compo entry: ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/40/swarm
This game idea is incredible :) I'm going to play it and rate it :) Here's my LD40 game, if you're interested: ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/40/rocket-jump It's my first Ludum Dare. I've been told that it's too hard (even though I made it easier after my testers played it).
Wow, it looks great! I'm impressed you got your own high score database implemented in the jam time. Congratulations. I did the 48 hour Compo with a fair bit of success. Here's my Ludum Dare entry: ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/40/flock And here is a little dev-log / progress video I made with clips throughout the jam: th-cam.com/video/l4tdFvMreag/w-d-xo.html
Could the discrepancies between runs perhaps be caused by colliding within the line? When editing a line and the ball intersects with it, then upon release of the edit the ball would collide in a different manner than normal, at least I think so.
I had the same problem with non deterministic physics, hopefully this could help! I wanted replays in a momentum-y platformer using the player's inputs and their times, but that would desync sometimes. So I tried also setting the character's position and velocity at every input, though replays on slow devices would show the character teleporting a lot. Eventually I gave in to recording exclusively positions at 15fps, and lerp'd between them during replays. It works great on any device but because of file size I'll probably only allow world record times to be uploaded to the database.
There is something both relaxing and engaging with this game :) Some feedback: - On some level it may be hard to know which ball is holding your time back when several are really close - Moving saw cancel your line drawing and related to that I was able to draw line behind a pushed red button but not remove them (I had to (C)lear to remove them)
Can you make a video about aerodynamics for games (like Besiege and Kerbal Space Program)? I have found a method to get it working, but I'm struggling with the maths (angles of the airplane and its velocity vector). In my opinion, this is one of the coolest game mechanics you can add to a game :)
He showed a very good example of this in these two videos from a series a while back: Part 1 th-cam.com/video/C65ExBy6WPA/w-d-xo.html and Part 2 th-cam.com/video/xvpP9U20ioQ/w-d-xo.html
hello great video! I need help can you make a video to generate procedural tree on your landmass terrain tutoriel thx men for your job i hope have this video
Got the world record on the first lever first try XD R U sure? Anyone beat 02:03? Edit: 01:94 2: 04:69 3: 04:82 4: 04:52 5: 04:32 6: 2:58 7: 3:76 and I just looked at the leaderboards and... they empty. :(
You have to draw lines to direct the balls, but when there are multiple balls your own lines will start getting in the way of the paths of the other balls. This is a large part of the challenge in later levels, and is the link to 'the more you have, the worse it is'. I should have mentioned that in the video since it is a bit of an obscure connection. Thanks for asking!
Hi, can anyone help me? I do not speak English very well, so I'll say it in a few words ... (I'll try LOL) I want to be a programmer, actually I am. I consider myself level intermediate, but I have some problems to increase my level ... I see videos about programming, and I know that I am gaining knowledge every day, but I want to be faster. I just turned 16 and I'm on vacation, and I know I'm going to regret it if I do not give it all to myself at the time. Does anyone know a channel, book, website or blog that I can use to study? It is because this is difficult to learn quickly, because the information is all scattered. I wanted a place where I had a bigger focus (something like LOL);
hey, your the best unity you tuber i know for complicated things. could you make a video on how to do a realistic fps controller. something like this: th-cam.com/video/0mgm16ki8zM/w-d-xo.html and you can see it actually behaving like i want it at 7:20, of course... in unity. i hope you make this video because my game depends on it and i cant find anything on doing anything like this. i'm sure everybody will benefit from this as well. i hope you make this video! if you don't your still good... i guess.. (Just make the video!)

Although simple, it looks like one of the most fun game concepts I’ve seen from you yet
2:30 I see you appreciate Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
nice!
I'm reading the book as of now, but i don't get the joke
@@_fedmar_ Read more of it then, its relatively late in the book
@@luckylmj I'm about halfway now, but can you tell me what the joke is so i can get it when I read it in the book?

If you want to get back to it I took 4 world records (+ equal time for levels 4 and 5) :)
Have fun
(Only 1:90 for level 1 tho)

Killing it! I see you've just been edged out of the top spot now ;)

Definitely, the best channel about creating games in unity. Good job again Sebastian, cheers!

Good design, sweet graphical touch. The whole database thing adds to it as well. Good to see you still amaze, Sebastian.
This is a really awesome game idea and looks fun, I am working on something sort of similar right. Nice work.
Thank you for doing this, Sebastian !
Can't wait for a how-to training vid used in this game! Lovely concept delivered greatly!
Please work more on it! This is awesome!
Neat concept!
I wish I was that creative, the concept is amazing
Right on buddy, looks great
Ow. This game makes me so nostalgic, I used to make ball games in GameMaker, literal decades ago
great video and game you have a great mind and are talented thanks for making my day
This is a really original concept, very cool game for such short time. Also, good job on implementing php server side high score system ;)
Thank you! :)
Awesome work!
this game is very enjoyable!

Good idea, thanks :)
Great work!
This would be perfect for the switch!
Pretty neat. Although at first glance I like the inverted Colors better. The Game seams a bit better readable and its easier on the eyes
Fantastic video. Now, if anyone could tell me, why on earth someone would down vote this video, please let me know, cause it's beyond me.

Hello, can you do a related tutorial for this physics curve and erase?
Great game
very nice .
Hello, the physical line looks cool, can you provide a tutorial?
spend a month or two making Splotch 3- I'd buy it
Really nice game, I can't drop it down. Just made it in the top 10, I have to see how high I can go
Wow I see you've climbed all the way to number three! So happy you're enjoying it :)
There is something both relaxing and engaging with this game :)
Some feedback:
- On some level it may be hard to know which ball is holding your time back when several are really close

Can you explain how can we do 2d dinamic water on your other video ?
the physics messing up could be related to calculation timing
Is it ok if I recreate this with better graphics and port it to phones?
What's the difference between the 1st and 2nd?
Was there no theme?
If you were to make that a bigger game with a bit more polish I bet a lot of people would be willing to buy it.
Can you please make a video about neural network?
Sebastian, do you check your gmail account? I had a question about your RPG blender tute
i saw the ford and zaphop
Hey sebastian can I make Android version of this game?
Hi SL, can you record video/tutrial with creating something like "sound manager"?
thanks for all, gl&hf ;)
He showed a very good example of this in these two videos from a series a while back: Part 1 th-cam.com/video/C65ExBy6WPA/w-d-xo.html and Part 2 th-cam.com/video/xvpP9U20ioQ/w-d-xo.html
thanks, haven't seen before
Please can you make a tutorial for this?
played it, but the leaderboard is gone which made it less interesting. still a great game on optimization.
cheers
Great
hello great video!
I need help can you make a video to generate procedural tree on your landmass terrain tutoriel
thx men for your job
i hope have this video
Got the world record on the first lever first try XD
R U sure?
Anyone beat 02:03? Edit: 01:94
2: 04:69
3: 04:82
4: 04:52
5: 04:32
6: 2:58
7: 3:76
and I just looked at the leaderboards and... they empty.
:(
neat.
How come that is anything related to the jam's theme at all?

What do you use to make games?
He uses Unity.

i made a game called splotchy
Non deterministic physics is probably due to not storing/reading numbers in binary.
