I think there are some things that could be tweaked, such as the balancing of the in game options, but the whole experience was fantastic. The presentation specifically, you guys absolutely nailed it. The FMVs, and the music that went along with it, created a great melodramatic atmosphere. I also really enjoyed how the gameplay took place on what appears to be an office desk.
I see a lot of great potential in this game. With some rebalancing, and more content, it can be a great satire. Very impressive a game like this was made in a weekend!
Cool angle on the theme, good luck with the technicalities!
The videos at the beginning and end were great. I went to the website to play it because the video won me over lol. Wish you luck with the jam despite technical difficulties, you definitely deserve more ratings then you have right now.
The cinematic at the beginning was great but for some reason I cannot start the game, when I chose the difficulty nothing happens and I can't even go back to the menu. It's a shame because it looks really fun !
We're you able to press the start game button? There are some UI scaling issue I didn't have time to test and that may be the issue. First upload to itch.io so I'll have to look into how patching works.
Can press new game, but unfortunately can't progress past the choose difficulty. The cursor changes to a hand to show its a button, and the the other two difficulties say they need longer but clicking does nothing.
Ah I figured out the problem, it's a combination of viewport and scale. Didn't have time to test it on itch.io specifically. There's a playable version hosted on my personal site if you do want to play it: https://gracchi.work/games/dead-men-still-win-seats-demo-build
Amazing, lol. Wasn;'t expecting all the video, I hope it was as fun to record as it looks xD The mspaint type drawings really added to the effect, and I liked the website UI setup. I think the UI for the action points and stuff could've been bigger or easier to read is my only main gripe
Sadly time got the better of things there and we still had placeholder UI rather than some thing more polished. Scope creep gave us FMV and bad acting, but then you put off some QoL stuff lol.
i think it was a worthy tradeoff, i love the nostalgia of FMV
