Wow, I love its atmosphere, its art, and above all, the sound — it feels incredibly immersive!
The idea, story, atmosphere. This is such an impressive demo. Congrats!
One of the very well implemented entries. nice work.
I really liked this entry, one of my top from this round. Very well done, great story and everything.
it is for sure one of coolest entries for this round but I think the ui at the begging may have bugged out a bit
You probably full-screened during a transition, I know that makes it break but didn’t have time to fix it :b
Stellar work. My first try failed but second worked, it was fun guessing the consequences.
I liked the design in general of the game the title screen was great the sound was good too. It had a good underground sketchy feel to the game, but maybe needed more world building outside of the big events.
This rocks as a standalone project, and is EVEN BETTER considering it's a jam submission. I love every single choice, every outcome, every litter bit of world-building, and the theme of creating yourself through action is wicked (that's what I thought was going on anyway). This is definitely my favorite submission so far. Superb.
This is what you must call me from now on. 10/10 no notes. You have something around 4.84e13 combinations, though you probably need to calculate permutations since choices matter. Plus the generator probably has even more combinations than that. All that to say, very customizable, very bleak, very great game.
Lmao no shot you calculate this each time xD.
Upper bound for name generator is like… 1 letter from the alphabet the first choice, then 1, 2 or 3 (ordered) letters from the alphabet each subsequent choice. The last choice has just +1 option for skipping. BUT it’s not like that since uuuuuuuu is not a valid name for instance lol. So… Yeah can’t say what the upper bound is.
But it’s probably a way smaller number just for the choices in the scenarios. Roughly 2^8 * 10 choose 8 I think, as scenario order does not really matter. It kinda does since you can lose, but assuming you survive, it doesn’t, as they don’t affect what appears down the line.
So I’d say:
= 78.382.080
The upper bound for name generator is somewhere around 1.4e14 … I think (up to 10 letters long, so 26^10)
Lol I'm trying to. With some games like the ones you draw yourself, kind of infinite choices, so trying to limit it to what I can actually count.
Though, might be doing my math wrong because the number you got is smaller than what I got. It's my first time trying combinations tbh. Oh well, all for fun anyway.
I think it’s a fun exercise! I gave it some more thought and I think it’s actually even smaller, since what choices you’re presented with is actually not important. Only the possible choices, so the origin choice is only ×8, not ×(8 choose 4).
Yes so only 3.849.120
Wow, this was truly amazing! You are on a different level, the polish is insane, and the storytelling is so good!
I'm super impressed, well done! :D
Love the sound design :P
Really great narrative character creator!
Junikk died from an incorrect view of the world, maybe not so many risks next time ;)
The aesthetic and sounds were really cool and fit with the worldbuilding (felt like Frostpunk a little bit).
The UI felt responsive, but I would have liked more feedback on when certain stats were changing or getting too low.
Nice entry!
This is What Expert UI and Game design looks like, the writing too, how did you came by this skill? this is Great, Good Job! can't wait to see where you take this in the next round.
I would appreciate it if you check mine out.
You flatter, I’m far from being an expert though, I’m definitely not that good. But as for how I got here? Spending a lot of time thinking about user oriented design, I think. Pay attention to details, make sure every interaction gives audiovisual feedback to the user. Make sure everything is very, very clear. Everything makes sense if you see it for the first time. Hesitation and tiny confusion = bad.
I suppose I copied from things I know already. The writing was inspired by Disco Elysium, the gameplay by the intro sequence of Fear & Hunger. Then mix with some Blades in the Dark and you get this. Steal like an artist!
(Most likely I make a new project for next round! That is the plan at least, I can’t fulfil the promise for a game this character creator makes about what comes after.)
the entire games industry builds on previouse ideas, advancments come rarely, but you took everything that works and left out all that does not, good job!
I ate some bread and experienced catastrophic structural collapse :( just another Thursday I suppose
Truly stunning visuals and world building! Would love to see more of this!
Such a unique concept, and incredible world building! The addition of the starting origins was a cool feature! Very polished, a very impactful entry. Really enjoyed this, and would love to see this universe expanded further!
Very unique and charming game. Amongst the many customizers, this is a really refreshing and polished one. The game interestingly ties customizing character into text-adventure style gameplay, a very creative and enjoyable idea.
Personally, I failed twice before finally creating my character... The difficulty level was just right in my opinion. The story was a fun read paired with great commentaries. Great system overall. In addition, the name creation system was really creative as well.
One very very small thing: after the character creation is finished, the final screen shows my character having a high number on every stat... is that an issue or is that meant to be? It doesn't affect anything important, however.
Definitely one of the most enjoyable. Love the atmosphere it brings.
Great job!
Thanks for playing!
That could be a bug I didn’t catch. It should show the final stats!
Very atmospheric. Cool concept of a going through a story to more embody the character you create is great . Great Job! :)
Thanks!!
Good game, I died pretty much instantly.
