I LOVE THIS GAME! It's such an obvious interpretation of the theme, but it's done and polished very, very well. I liked playing the little detective and trying to figure out the right answers. I also liked how balanced the game feels and how the options aren't too much on the nose. The game is very cozy, and it doesn't feel like it's trying to fight you.
I also really liked the writing, and dude, 3000+ handwritten lines is seriously impressive, so shout out to that.
Amazing work. I'm definitely going back to play more.
My only feedback would be about the font on the little cards that contain the date information. Sometimes it can be a bit unclear and hard to read.
Thank you so much omg!! That really means a lot. Yeah the little trait card definitely was a hard thing to try and figure out, the font is actually my handwritting lol which is notoriously bad. You can hover over the card to have it zoom in a bit but the font can still be hard to read!! Definitely would be something to nail down better if this wasn't a jam. Thank you for playing!!
10/10 HAHAHAHA SOOOO GOOOOOD. Music spot on. Sounds of people nailed it! The dialogue I actually lauged out loud to the Do you workout I do the back and chest in the day! OH MAN! Great stuff. WELL DONE SAMS!
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! that means so much thank you for the kind words seriously!!! We are so glad you liked it :))) - Sam's
It’s so much fun playing this. great job on music, sound, and the dialogs.
Thanks so much!! Appreciate you playing
Oh this is unique! It's a little too close to home 😂
hahaha yes we really drew from past experiences. Thanks for playing!
Really charming and creative concept with a lot of personality. The art, music, and writing all fit together really well, and the dialogue system feels surprisingly deep and well thought out. Super polished jam entry overall!
Thank you so much this really means a lot!
Nice game
thank you!!
Aww, that was adorable! I'm very curious about how the characters are coded to line up with the responses, because the choices you get are so interesting. Also, I'm a huge fan of anyone learning Blender, awesome job!!
Thanks so much for playing! To give you a rough overview basically internally between all JSON there are a view overall "categories" we chose that every question, response, and trait is weighted against, like "fitness" for example (won't tell you them all because it spoils the game a bit hehe). Then the npc's are all first assigned random traits which then builds their weights for each category. so maybe someone got 2 traits that had "fitness": 2, so now their "fitness" category is weighted as 4. Then each question (or response if it''s the player's turn to respond) is also weighted. So all I had to do was basically take the dot product of the npc's weights and the question/response, compare that to a threshold, and then determine if they had a pos, neutral, or neg outcome! Hope that makes sense :))
Very funny, love the art style and music. 3200 lines of dialog is also very impressive. Played it twice and got a D both times, so I could've done better lol
it didn't feel like 3200 lines when writing it, it was a lot of fun to come up with ridiculous traits and such :) thanks so much for playing! it can be hard to get a match, a D isn't so bad haha
Very neat game! It also feels extremely complete for a gamejam game. There was a spelling mistake or two I noticed, but with around 3200 lines of dialogue, I am not surprised.
There's also the aesthetics! They were very coherent (Likely as a result of everything being made entirely in-house; Good job on that by the way!)
Very lovely! You two did a great job :D
Thank you so much!! Yes we noticed a lot of spelling mistakes and we both kinda shrugged and hit submit lol. Let's just say they were intentional to convey their personalities better 😉 Thanks for playing!
The first time through I was getting the hang of things.
I figured "I can do better!" So the next time...
It turns out I'd been relying on beginner's luck. I don't have strong enough opinions about foam rolling.
Great job on the art, Sam 2! 👏
Great job on the other things, Sam 1!
It sometimes felt like all three options I had were terrible choices, but I think that might be because I'm terrible at speed dating.
i think that you have to marry daniel and james right now!! thanks for playing :) the art was a ton of fun to make im glad you liked it! :) -sam 2
Daniel did say "ur better than my boyfriend" so I'm a little worried...
Great submission, trying to get a match was a bit hard but it was fun giving them a try
thanks!! we were kind of worried it might be too easy at first but yes it can be a bit tricky to get a match, glad you had fun :) thanks for playing.
quite cute. I can't imagine having to type all these dialogues and make it be coherent with the character.
Thank you for playing :))) Yeah it was definitely a convoluted process to figure out! There's a big internal "weighting" system with different overall categories that each question/response and trait is tied to! They're then matched up and weighted against eachother with each answer/question you chose. It was a lot of fun to make!
The game has a lot of personality, I have only gotten a D with Shopie, but I still liked it!
Thanks so much!! Yes getting those matches really can be a tough one, appreciate you playing :)
Really charming entry! The theme fits perfectly, using speed dating as a way to make connections is a clever and fun take.
The art is lovely, the music sets the mood well, and the voice sound effects are genuinely impressive.
Great work for a 2 person team!
Thanks so much!! Really means a lot
Amazing work in all aspects, and such a fun game. Well done to you both!
Thanks for playing!!
Heaps of unique personality. Fun little game. Great job!
Thanks so much!
The questions were fun.
Never done this irl so I found it strangely stressful.
We designed this as a perfect real life dating simulator, so if you would like practice for irl dating, we recommend you continue playing! (thanks for playing lol)
What a level of polish. Pretty neat game and it has a lot of personality with the graphics and such. Congrats!
Thank you so much for playing!! We had a ton of fun making it :)
Loved the game; it has a quirky personality. Good job, both of you!
thanks for playing!! we had fun making the characters quirky, glad it comes across well :)
I got worse the longer I played! But, honestly, I should have stopped after meeting Penelope, because - let me tell you - our connection was real.
wonderful game with great execution on all levels. the 3D models are especially charming.
i hope u and penelope have a wonderful life together!!! thanks for much for playing, we really appreciate it :) the characters were a ton of fun to make im glad you think they are charming hehe :)
