How did you use generative AI?
I used the Ziva coding tool (a plugin integrated directly into the Godot Engine editor) and ChatGPT to create some of the artwork.

Cool game with great dialogue :)
Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed the game.
really good best game i seen on this game jam good job!
Thank you so much for rating my project so highly!
Overall: Strong atmosphere but the interactivity is too thin to feel like a game yet.
What Worked Well:
Areas for Improvement:
Thank you for such a detailed review! The chat layout definitely needs some polishing.
As for the gameplay: each reply in the chat increases one of three counters - Aggression, Neutrality, or Loyalty. After 10 messages, the player is directed into one of three final dialogue branches with the AI, and the ending is determined by whichever counter is highest. In the future, I plan to add more branching and some visual cues, like coloring the buttons depending on which counter they affect.
The chat icon on the phone screen already has a hover effect, but it seems too subtle - I’ll make it more noticeable. Regarding interactivity, I’m still thinking about it. This is meant to be a short visual novel focused on the vibe of a single conversation at a critical moment, and I don’t want to lose that atmosphere.
The chat button being the only hoverable thing made it feel more like a static image than an actual phone with apps.
If all the apps could be hovered, then presumably you'd be able to click on them too... and that means something would need to happen when clicking them all as well which would be a bunch of unnecessary work.
So, I dunno. Maybe there is another way you can get into the app that is more convincing world building? Like you are actively in some other app, like playing a snake game or something, and it pauses and the AI app notification scrolls in from the top?
I'd appreciate a rating of my game if you haven't already.
Really cool! One of the best games I’ve tried so far! It would have been nice if the player’s changes meant a little more, while the end result does change depending on your responses, each choice does not change the following message. But for a game jam that’s not a big deal!
Also, the text at the end was pretty fast, I could kind of read it, but it would have been nice if it was a little slower.
Great job! I’d love to hear what you think of mine!
Thank you so much! I'm really glad you enjoyed it.
You're absolutely right about the lack of choice variety - that's something I plan to work on when I continue improving the game after the jam. And thank you for finding and pointing out the bug with the ending text speed!
I'll definitely play your game today and leave a comment as well:)
It didn't work and I didn't understand anything. You can also rate my game and give your opinion. Starbound Paradis
Could you tell me what exactly didn’t work or what was confusing? I’ll also be playing all the jam games and leaving feedback over the next day or two.
I couldn't rate you because the screen was removed. I tried several times.
Thanks for trying! If it’s not too much trouble, could you try one more time? If it still doesn’t launch, please tell me the name of your browser so I can fix this issue. In the meantime, I’ll play your game :)
I will try again
I finally succeeded! I'm giving you a 5/5 rating. Don't forget to rate my game!Starbound Paradis
