Nice!

Pretty OK game. I like the idea of using gambling as an extra way to earn more money instead of just selling weapons.

However, the game suffers a lot from performance issues, making it a quite frustrated experience.

Some nice addition to the game would be adding a crosshair to know where you are pointing and having the bet section as a sort of machine in front of the player’s table instead of just a poster to make it more clear what the player’s going to do.

Overall, nice game.

Developer

Hey, thanks a lot for your review, It's a common issue for unreal game to suffer bad performance, we didn't had the time to do the proper check before uploading sadly, and yes we we're supposed to add a crosshair but we didn't had time since it's was to late. and It's a good idea for the bet! We didn't had a lot of idea on how to implemente it other that with a poster, we will certainly do that in the futur after the jam. thanks!

Developer

thanks a lot!

Really fun game! Too bad there was only 1 customer and after that there were no more knights, The game didn't run very well either. That's though to be expected because of Unreal Engine. Fun idea, good execution and classic graphics. (I love oldScool Runescape looking grapics)

Developer(+1)

Thanks! you need to go bet before other knight come, you bet on the right of the store on a betting sign with dice, and yeah the game don't run well cause of unreal, we will work on that after the jam!

Submitted

Great to hear that you are going to contenue on the project! Good luck! I will try bet and see how it goes :?

Unfortunately for me my laptop struggles a lot running unreal engine games. It was smth like 5fps and basically unplayable. But the game looked really good(well it's unreal engine) and I like your idea so I am gonna rate based on those. 

Developer

Thanks! yeah unreal as some problem on some computer, we didn't had those problem in dev and never enountered that problem before so we didn't know, thanks for your rate!

Submitted

Well that's because my pc sucks. I have integrated gpu. I am sure with a normal gpu others can run the game

Submitted(+1)

The graphics are excellent and the game is really nice. No complaints at all 

Developer

Thanks a lot! we tried giving our best in the graphics haha!

This game graphically looks really nice, a bit too much since it does not run well. The gameplay could do with a bit more challenge or something more to do than just betting once till the next knight comes. Maybe a knight could tell a riddle or be more unclear about what they want and it's up to your expertise to figure out what weapon they are asking for.

Note this game requests for internet access, not sure why it would need internet access. Please remove that request if you can and if you're not using it, since it indicates something insecure and the possibility of sending the player's data online.

Developer

Thanks! it's a common issue with unreal that the game don't play well on certain computer, i still don't know why, and yes this was an idea we had but couldn't implemented in the 48hours, and yes it require internet access for unknow reason, i think i didn't change from "development" package when i exported it, we will change that after the jams end

Submitted(+1)

Cool idea. I think it could use some more variety in different weapon types and different incentives to sell specific weapons over others, like maybe the knight could say something about the battle and you'd have to rely on your weapon expertise to know which is the best weapon to use. Just a suggestion for expanding it though. Was pretty fun for what it is, and I like the graphics and music.

Developer(+1)

Hey thanks! the knight was supposed to have a preffered weapons who had to boost his luck for the betting part and more informations about the fight but we couldn't made it in the 48hours

Submitted(+1)

Polish is unreal for a 48 hour! Great job!

Developer

Thanks! our 3d artist made a great job on the game with post process and model!

Submitted(+1)

My laptop was about to explode, but I like the betting system (I always lost LOL), very nice models and graphics. The dialogue is funny sometimes too, great job!

Developer(+1)

all 5s homie good job

Developer

thanks a lot! your game was great too!

Submitted(+1)

The betting mechanic really made being a shopkeeper exciting! One suggestion might to have the weapon type effect their chances but also maybe have limited weapons to give. 

Developer

thanks! each weapons have a random multiplicator in a range with the knight base luck, thansk for your comments!
