Stuff you did not do in February
Before February, I used a tutorial ( https://github.com/geegaz/Multiple-Windows-tutorial ) to learn Godot and create a simple state machine.
Everything else has been done in this month.
...I even ended up redoing the state machine...

installing this before a long night of binging game jam games will report back on how it goes

Shepherd's Flockupdate: the mouse is now a part of my household and if anyone takes her away im killing everyone in the room and then myself
This is so goddamn fucking adorable. Like, if you added a few more ways to interact with her, I could legitimately see people paying money for this. I thought it'd get old to have this mouse girl hanging out on my taskbar, but nope, she's my new best friend and if she ever gets too rowdy i can plop her down on the side of the screen and sway a pretty watch and she turns into a perfect hypnotized statue for me, which is a feature all computer intelligences should have, if you think about it.
The hypno popups are also... good. Like. Very good. A total subby mess for this idea might go so far as to compile a list of opinions and reviews for each of the popups, so here's mine:
- Keep Your Eyes Here: workhorse spiral, very good
- Looking to Experiment: timeless classic. Lore tie-in, callbacks to using my grandmother's computer with all the weird popup ads that eight year-old batto didn't understand, 7/10
- Stay Asleep: VERY good. VERY bright and eye-catching, and the way it makes implications about my current state makes my brain tingle in all the good way, especially when i think about how bright the spirals are and how they really just keep going and going and going and on and it's kind of nice to watch them actually and
- What's your IQ? is uhhhh uhmmmmmmmmmm
- ggood
- it's goood
- could be even better if clicking flashed you with spirals + subliminal but as it is i just like clickign the thing it makes my brain stop braining and thats good i like it when it does
- that
- Jaw Dropped Eyes Open: again, things that tell me how i should already be feeling go very hard. scrolling text also catches my eye, makes me subconsciously read the words instead of just staring, 8/10
- Don't Think Just Sink: another banger implementation of the changing text to assault my mind with words and colors alike, now in purple so im gonna give it another half-point, 8.5/10
- You are a Good Viewer: square spirals are good variance, okay on its own but fully comes into effect when paired with another spiral
- Pendulum: is there a static light on the middle or something? because the light keeps shifting as it sways back and forth, and i think that's a really neat detail, and it's subtle enough that i had to keep staring for a while to notice it, and that was really nice, so i kept staring to appreciate it, and then i appreciated it more, and then i appreciated it more, and
- Hydration Break: unironically made me sip my water whenever it popped up. 10/10 faustech employee health program
- Click NOW/Good Dog: 11/10. Interactions and racing to click before it goes away and being rewarded with a nice bright burst of spirals and nice warm praise about how well I did, and how nice it is to stare, and how i'm going to keep staring now, and keep staring, and being such a good dog and thank you so much for noticing how good i am at staring and clicking woof woof awwrrfff
...anyway >///>
This is a veritable banger. Were it just the desktop pet, were it just the popups, it would've been a highlight of the competition on its own. Getting both, in one place, elevates this from a competition standout to an all-time classic.
Great work. All of you ^w^
I haven't played much in this jam yet but I feel like this will be on my favorites. I love the character, the artwork. I didn't think Godot could do something like this. There was some issue getting the helmet on her head and I wish you could do more with her. I would pay for something like this. Might be a Wayland thing, will probably test it a bit more if it'd help and you guys were interested with a future update. I just love love love this.
OS: Pop!OS 22.04
DE: Gnome 42.9 on Wayland
This is AMAZING. I'm totally in love with the character. Made an account just to support this. I really hope this gets more features later on, maybe some more ways to empty her brain, more things to do with her, and more popups! And as someone else said, her commenting on what's on your computer would be an SPECTACULAR addition, were the time to be taken to implement it. Really excited to see where this goes.
This is a wonderful little project in a genre that I'd totally forgotten even existed. I had no idea that Godot could even do this!
Definitely sending this one to a few people who need a digital friend, yes yes. 🐁

Drone CaféI absolutely love this omg. this is crazy. I am obssessed and I fucking adore this little scientist mouse

XXXRodeo - demoThis is eXTREMELY adorable!! We’re very cheesed to poke and prod and yeet this creature. We thoroughly enjoy bullying this creature.
The popups are also a really adorable touch (and I may or may not have sunk a bit for some of them oops)
It’d be a treat to see the project continue post-jam! Animations for holding Brie would massively increase her yeetability, and if you can somehow pull it off, detection of running programs for Brie to comment on would be an absolutely amazing touch (though might be easier said than done!)

Fangs and Zonkery (Jam Prototype)A nice friend to keep in the background (foreground?) and occasionally mess around with! I had no idea Godot could even do this sort of thing. There's a good range of different interactions and dialogue. I love the animations, she has very cute reactions! Since tossing her is one of the common interactions, an effect for her tits bouncing when that happens could be fun.
I like your idea for unlocking more tools and options through popups in future versions! Some rare or unique effects, or visor text triggers would also be very cool to see if you're planning on expanding the project.
I didn't expect to see something like this among the submissions, but I'm very glad I have! Nicely done!

Love desktop pets, and this one's such a cutie. Her embarrassed reactions after you lift the hypno are great. I'd finger her if it fit. Hope to be seeing more of her. Only thing i'd really wish for is more interactions; really like what's already there but like lose the shorts little mouse

JoypadI have SUCH a nostalgia for desktop pets, and this is an amazing little one - absolutely not what I expected out of a game jam project! The art is also stellar too - Brie is just too cute. Ditto for the pop-up ads - while somewhat unintentional, it was a delightfully hypnohorny moment to wonder what the "delay" slider was for, put it all the way down, and then be bombarded with popups.
Truly I think my only real critique is that I wanted to do more with Brie and mess around in the game longer! The charm of the project is just undeniable.
This is made in Godot, heavily using their powerful (albeit sometimes buggy) "Window" nodes!
I used this tutorial to get me started, it might be helpful for you too: https://github.com/geegaz/Multiple-Windows-tutorial
Very cute. Love the concept. I'd love to see a more fleshed out version one day with more interactive popups and brie having a more active role in the hypnotising
But other than that: very cute mouse girl, would hypnotise / let hypnotise me again

Potions and PolyculesReminds me of those old desktop pets you could download in the early 2000's
