All the King's Men
Over the weekend I went to a local game jam in Phoenix to try out making a game using Otter. I was fully prepared to face the reality that Otter would have major problems preventing me from using it for this jam... but everything turned out way better than I expected. Check out the first game ever made using Otter!
All the King's Men v1.0 - Windows (6mb)
Apologies to Mac and Linux people, I don't have a solid way to get builds for anything but Windows right now.
There's a readme included in the download that has some more info in it as well.
Eventually I would like to open source All the King's Men, but right now I need to figure out what kind of license I should use for it. Open sourcing a game is a little different than open sourcing a framework. I want to maintain control of the distribution of the game, but also allow people to look at and use the code for their own projects. Basically I just don't want people to edit the game slightly and then re-release it as their own work, or something sneaky like that. I'm sure whatever license I choose won't actually prevent that from happening if someone really wants to do that, but I guess I would still feel slightly better by using the right thing.
I also recorded a time lapse of the production of the game during the 48 hour game jam, so once I put that together I'll release that as well!
If you have any feedback then leave a comment, or stop over to the Otter forums.

I'm assuming that if you dont yet have a way to build it on mac/linux than the distribution of games is windows limited atm?
I was at Game Jam! I was one of the programmers for the game about running through a barber shop and getting different mustaches! :D
Nice job at the game jam! That upside down world mustache was craaazy.
