Thanks!
Congratulations for 2nd place! To be honest, I feel like all your games in the past jams are super underrated, a lot of them are top 3 in my opinion :)
I think dialogue focused games are just a hit or miss, some people will like it, some people won’t. I was expecting a 10-15th place since my gameplay is barely there:) also shown from my rating distributions, with 11% 1 star lol
Your game this week totally amazed me. The first jam game that made me cry lol
Thank you! Nah, I don´t care about the scoring, I don´t make games to win, but to gain experience in order to express a lot of ideas and give voice to other perspectives hehe. You are right about dialogue games. So, in general jams I try to mix gameplay and narrative, so the gameplay doesn´t suffer a lot.
And… Nope, the idea of the jams like this are not only the fun or the mechanics. The game can have a very simple mechanic like this one of yours, but the concept, the ambient, the message, the idea expressed can be as powerful to the player as the gameplay itself. And you make a little game that tells something important. An idea. In a beautiful manner. So, yo deserve the 3rd position. ^^
PD. Wow. When someone tells me that my games touch his/her heart, for me is the best gift! Thank you.
