I had trouble with an adventurer named Feston, but my other adventurers seemed pretty capable. Really cool game theme and cool graphics! Reminds me a bit of Paper's Please in a good way!

Developer

Thanks! Good call, Papers Please was definitely one of the inspirations for our game. As for Feston, the heroes are procedurally generated, and sometimes turn out pretty incompetent! Your job as quest giver isn't always easy :P

Submitted

Awesome art and music and a great twist on the theme!

Developer

Thanks! :)

I like the idea of turning around the game from quest taker to quest giver. Definitely gave me a gameboy vibe, good job on the modifier! The controls however were difficult for me to process (z & x), when trying to leave the details of a quest or hero, I would often hit the escape key instead. (which very reasonably closes the game)

Developer

RIP sorry about the escape key, I can definitely see how that'd happen! Westuck with gameboy controls, but I think it might be easier to work with using a mouse.

the game looks cool, i dind't quite understand how to play it, but it's fun ^^. good job

Developer

Thanks! I wish we'd had time to get a bit more intro/tutorial content in :P

Submitted

Wow this game was a pretty fun management sim. Everyone else may have hated me but my Wizard killed the dragon so the King seemed pretty cool with it! Great job with the art too. Could definitely see this getting expanded into something bigger.

Developer

Congrats to you and your wizard :D Thanks for your comment!

A classic text adventure, with a nice twist of giving quests to heroes! Quite enjoyable, nice job!

Developer

Thank you :)

It was a little tricky to operate to start with but with some more in-game explanation and more keyboard-and-mouse-friendly controls, it could become something really fun. I'm a sucker for these sorts of games and I loved the art style, so I'd be interested to see where you take it if you add to it after the jam. Nice job!

Developer

Thanks! I definitely think mouse controls would be perfectly adequate, if not superior, but we were trying to stick with plausibly gameboy-esque controls for the 2 GIRLS 1 CPU challenge.

Submitted

Nice graphics and an interesting idea that could definitely be expanded into something really good.

Developer

Thanks :D That's the plan!

Submitted

Good inversion on  the concept of rpg games, it makes you feel like a guild master giving out quests to your guild members for the best chance of success. Great work!

Developer

Thanks :)

Submitted

Did you upload the game twice? :O

Submitted

Ok, found out what the right page ist.
Nice little neat game. The graphics are stunning. Good job!

Developer

The second page (this one) added a .exe package for people who don't have java installed!

Submitted

I really enjoyed this game, I really hope you do more with it, a fun little party manager type game!

Developer

Thanks!! My partner and I are definitely looking to expand upon it in the coming months, we've got a few ideas in store that didn't quite make it into the jam submission :)
