Aww business duck's art style look really cute. I def wanna give it a go if/when you get a windows version!
Thank you! :D
I tried to give it a play, but unfortunately I received the same error another user pointed out below.
I had the same problem with my Mac build that you appear to have. Let me guess, did the export play just fine on your machine? That was the issue with mine. I also used GameMaker. Another crazy thing is that when trying to test HTML for my game on my Mac, it just would not work and I couldn't figure it out for the life of me.
I decided to press on and just make an executable for Mac and Windows. But when I was on the PC, I decided to try out HTML in a test run and it worked just fine and the code hadn't changed at all. I don't know what it is with GMS2 and Mac, if it's the new OS, or something to do with Xcode ... but I feel your pain and I'm sorry more people couldn't give The Business Duck a try.
Thank you!! Yes! i used to have an older version, but after i updated my mac it wouldn't open again. As i repaired it, the game i was working on was gone, bc they had to completely delete everything on my pc, i can't even get clip studio paint back on which i spend around 200 Euro :(, that's why i started making pixel art .
This is also why they had to give my pc a new version, i don't even know how to say this in english,
but after the new version, my pc literally handicap-ed and this makes it even harder to use gms2.
I always have issues with gms2, it already cost me 3 games in total that i was working for months on, stopped working or vanished completely.
I hope i can fix the issue, so that ppl can play it after the gam, but the game really ain't good, so please don't get your hopes up high.
Dammit, I wish the windows port was available. I see the comment below about it and I hope after the jam you can upload it so I can play!
i will! haha, but the game is not that good haha! i actually was about to and two minutes too late... :c
It is so sad I don't have access to a mac! This game looks so interesting!
the thing is , i had a windows version, but my friend had to upload it, bc she couldn't send it to me :c
it took a while , but the moment we were able to upload it finally, the game jam stopped, so im gonna add it after the jam.
Thank you for trying and i have a last question, why did you want to play it? i mean what about the page got you hoocked? i would like to know this for my future games :D
I guess mostly the mild connection to the duck race series... It is just very silly and I like that!
Also I am trying to play and rate every game in this jam.
Thank you for the fast reply :D i just love ducks!
i keep that in mind, do you have any idea what would have spoken to you more? :) like colors or screenshots or maybe the text i wrote?
It's really cool of you to give every game a chance :D Thank you!
The thumbnail could have been improved a little. I really like the paint look of it but is is cropped a little bit weird. The text should be a little bit more prominent...
The text is actually funny, but I probably had written something in adition. For instance a little description of whats actually going on located under the "Buisness duck" paragraph.
The best tip I could give though would be to work on the page a little bit more! I don't consider my pages to look good in any way but my philosophy is that the page is already a part of the game and itch really gives you lots of possibilities on how to customize a page.
HERE are some pages that might take it a bit to far, but that's kinda what I mean. YOu don't need to go this far but the page is the part your players will see first.
For game jams though I can give you one last piece of advice, make the game be playable in browser! This will make so many more people play it as most don't wanna download something first. I hope that helps!
THIS IS SO AMAZING! i literally want to play these games now! I had no idea you could even change the mouse!?
Thank you a lot!! This really helps!! I will do my best after the jam is over! :D
You are really really helpful!! Thank you!!
I couldn't open the game, sorry!
Thank you , for saying this.
I'm gonna have a look at my game and fix this.
Also :) i really feel happy that a few people actually wanted to try my game, thank you.
I have a last question, what got you to want to play the game? i want to know this for my future games :D i'm not really good at marketing and stuff. :D
