Holy novel batman!
I actually never intended to have animated speaker portraits, since we had really restricted time to finish this game but the system I wrote for it lended it self toooooo well to me adding them in, and flicking between the happy and default expression was just too hilarious of an opportunity to pass up. Im glad you got a kick out of it haha
as for the theme, I really don't like picking the first thing that comes to my head, the obvious choice here was a death loop game but despite this being a 'death loop' game its unique enough that it gets a pass haha
as for the game being small again this was mostly because of a time constraint, we realistically had only the weekend to pull this off and I really wanted to have like 20+ deaths and more npcs but overscopts a bi!@# haha. all the houses were intended to be entered as well, they actually exist in the game too but yeah time got the better of it.
The fences at the bottom, oh no, I wanted it to be convenient so you diddnt have to walk all the way around but alas, I forgor to test haha. also the y sorting on the tree is above the fence too, Ill fix that later hehe
Glad you enjoyed! and thanks for the write up. Expect a similar caliber for your entry later!
Viewing post in Death is My Opportunity jam comments
Haha, I always try to give my experience/comment and usually end up being larger than the usual comment… :)
I see, it’s interesting to know that about the portrait, good you went for that opportunity haha (and in general it’s interesting to hear the details about the games I play, I like when people reply with info like this :D )
The original scoop sounds very fun :o but I understand the overscoop part, I also had plans for my game but in the end I had to rush things to finish something on time, or each jam it's the same xD
And I hope you have some fun with my game, it ended up being more of a visual novel at the start due explaining the story, and at the end there is the boss with the gameplay
