A downloadable game

Tiny Summons is a cute little auto-battler played via Twitch comments! Head over to the stream to play (it’s best if you have someone to play with!).

The stream is no longer live on Twitch as of March 2024. You can still play the game by running from source and hosting your own Twitch stream.

-------------------------------
Made in 48 hours for the LD55 Compo! All art and audio was made during the jam. I reused some base code for sprite sheets, asset caching, particle systems, scene management, and Twitch chat integration from previous projects.

  • Code: Python with pygame
  • Art: Paint.NET and a Wacom tablet
  • Music: MuseScore 3
  • Audio: SFXR, Audacity, my mouth
  • Fonts: Spicy Sushi, Sebastian Informal
  • Hosting: Microsoft Azure VM

Hello, does anyone have a guide for how to set this up? I cannot figure it out on my own

This was originally hosted on a continuous Twitch stream, so wasn’t intended to be set up easily by others, but here are step-by-step instructions if you want to play it on your own Twitch stream!

  • Install the latest version of Python and PyGame
  • Clone or download the Github repository linked from “source code”
  • In line 36 of main.py, change the Twitch channel from ‘plasmastarfish’ to the name of your own Twitch channel in the self.stream.open call
  • Run main.py with Python (“py -3 main.py” in console)
  • Start streaming, and configure the stream to show the game’s window and audio! Instructions for how to play should be on screen.

Reply here if you aren’t able to get it to work.

Do you ever use other programming languages for game development

Had a lot of fun last time, and have just been waiting for the right game idea to try it again.
