33rd/162nd makes it about the 80th percentile which is pretty good plus the high originality score which is what we were going for anyways so yay

Screenshot of an itch.io game jam rating results page, showing that out of 17 ratings, the game got 6th in originality, 20th in fun, 20th in graphics, 33rd overall, 40th in audio, 53rd in theme, 69th in controls, and 84th in accessibility

just finished a new game where you control a little army of demons and kill hikers in the woods and cops it's called Baal's Birthday Bash play it in your browser captcronch.itch.io/baals-birthday-bash

Capsule art of Baal's Birthday Bash. Two round red little goat demons are seen carrying a log and a mound of bloody flesh in the woods, and behind them amidst the trees is a large fleshy bloody idol to Baal.

Screenshot from Baal's Birthday Bash showing a handful of little red goat demons carrying bloody flesh piles back to a pulsating demon mouth pit in the earth, in front of a half-finished fleshy idol, surrounded by puddles of blood and what seem to be extradimensional portals.

throwback to that godot docs page deleted 5 years ago

Encrypting save games

Why?

Because the world today is not the world of yesterday. A capitalist oligarchy runs the world and forces us to consume in order to keep the gears of this rotten society on track. As such, the biggest market for video game consumption today is the mobile one. It is a market of poor souls forced to compulsively consume digital content in order to forget the misery of their everyday life, commute, or just any other brief free moment they have that they are not using to produce goods or services for the ruling class. These individuals need to keep focusing on their video games (because not doing so will fill them with tremendous existential angst), so they go as far as spending money on them to extend their experience, and their preferred way of doing so is through in-app purchases and virtual currency.
But what if someone were to find a way to edit the saved games and assign the items and currency without effort? That would be terrible, because it would help players consume the content much faster, and therefore run out of it sooner than expected. If that happens, they will have nothing that prevents them from thinking, and the tremendous agony of realizing their own irrelevance would again take over their life.
No, we definitely do not want that to happen, so let's see how to encrypt savegames and protect the world order.

1: bro is running out of money 2: Notch barely even knew what he was doing when he was part of Minecraft's development, the parts of the game people really love can all be attributed to Jeb (who joined in and then took over way sooner than people think)
