Of course it had to be

Probably in two weeks. But we’ll try to make it last shorter.

❤️❤️❤️

Hey! Thanks for your kind words and your purchase.

I haven’t tested the plugin on mobile devices yet, but it shouldn’t be too difficult to make it recognize input for movement. However, enabling the inventory and settings menu might require some work.

I’ll see if I can allocate some time to work on it, or if a team member can handle it.

Dialogs, voices, plot, ending… Everything is so full of cuteness…I hope we can see more cases in the future.

Hi luna!

About version 2.0 (which is the one that works in Godot 4) all the features from version 1 are functioning, but we haven’t yet tested all possible scenarios, so there might be issues we haven’t encountered yet.

One of the contributors is enhancing the Aseprite Importer to not only import character animations but also rooms, which will automatically create Props. There will also be an improvement for importing inventory items.

I’ll start working on enhancing the game’s graphical interface today, making it easier to create from scratch or choose from various templates: a 7-verb template, a verb-coin template, the default BASS template the plugin uses, and a Sierra-style template. Hopefully, that will be operational by next week.

Furthermore, today I’ll be adding an enhancement that allows multiple characters to move simultaneously.

Amazing!

Thanks for playing the demo and sharing your gameplay. You managed to finish it, and that shows you don’t suck at it.

We are glad you like the game, and that you want to see its full version. News will come soon!

Also thanks for joining our Discord.

Hi. First of all, thanks for creating and sharing this. It have been pretty useful.

This may not be related to the template itself, but I’m wondering how did you added that Download button at the header of the page. I took a look to the source code and saw you’re using the same CSS classes of the Download button created by itch, but when I do the same in my game page itch removes the classes from the HTML code.

Hope you can help me!

We’re glad you enjoyed the game. The idea of the t-shirt sounds interesting.

Thanks! It is good to know someone else remember the popochius.

Yes, you should. That game is AWESOME.

Terrific storytelling and sound effects. Ever since I heard Mom’s sobbing the first time, memories of Lisa came to mind. Somehow the father in this story reminds me of Lisa’s (probably because of the alcohol and violence).

The way the game shows the memories is amazing (I would love to do something like that someday).

Even though it is a heartbreaking story, I liked the humor you put into the player-controlled character’s reaction (like walking in the wrong direction, or getting used to falling asleep after the hallway sequences). And that song at the end… damn!

I liked the Sokoban puzzle, it changed the pace of the game for a moment, and that felt good. If I could choose how to add one or two more choices to the game, I would have liked to be able to say something to Dad when you find him after visiting Mom’s grave, or that when we say whether we are afraid of him or not, the options are there but impossible to choose.

You made a great game!

Thanks for your comment! Now, thanks to you, we have an idea for a second part of the game.

Thanks!

Thank you so much for your kind words.

What and end! Totally unexpected.

Pretty good aesthetics, atmosphere, and characterization. When I figured out the recipe puzzle, I thought it wouldn’t work because Scotty took the mug, but then he shows up just to give it back. That sequence was simple, but it felt amazing and kind of relieving (for a few seconds I thought about starting the game all over again).

The first puzzle felt weird because you don’t expect to have to click on the flashlight to change its light direction (for me, it was kind of lucky to figure it out), but it made sense anyway (and it’s an interesting mechanic).

The deciphering puzzle was my favorite (because I love deciphering puzzles). And moving the picture, along with sorting the pills, allowed me to better appreciate Tim’s personality. Speaking of characters, Karen… was so irritating. You guys did a really great job with characterization (it’s a shame I can’t put more stars in that category), and as @Powerhoof wrote, using puzzles to build the characters is a clever way to present them. I felt sad for Sam, even though I did not get to meet him; even though he was a robot.

I had a great time playing your game!

Yes

Congratulations on the writing. The way you did it managed to keep my interest in the story from beginning to end.

Pretty funny and challenging. The interaction required to solve the ventriloquist puzzle was weird, I solved it by trial and error because I was expecting to use the book in a different way (by the way, everything about the library reminded me of Return to Monkey Island 🤓).

I wonder why the kitchen scene had a sort of frame, as if it were a painting.

Everything that happens in the dungeon is hilarious, made even funnier by the voice acting.

The ending made me laugh, especially when the skull reappears (which also made me think of Murray).

Great game, as always.

The visual style is interesting; it reminds me a bit of PlayStation 2 games. I couldn’t kill all the enemies in the first stage of the game, so it was impossible to see everything.

I don’t know if not-doing Lynch stuff is the right way to do Lynch-y stuff. As I see it, one way to do it is to put special attention to the details: the things in the scene, the way characters speak, all those symbols that help you figure things out later.

Anyway… great work!

The Lynch/Silent Hill vibe of this game made me love it. The story is quite interesting, but the storytelling you used was even better: the camera angles, the visual style, the “boring” tasks, and the dream world all worked perfectly together.

The voices of Emily, Stranger and Alex were my favorites. And the last nightmare was amazing.

Strangely enough, one of my game ideas for this jam was also set in a Lynch-esque atmosphere. Maybe I’ll work on that next year.

Thanks for including the OST. I’ll listen to it.

Pretty funny writing that portraits very well a cat’s point of view of its world, and what humans mean to it.

The illustrations are very good, but it would have been great to see them larger to appreciate all the details.

Great atmosphere and good story with a surprising ending. It was hard for me to identify which one was my character, but after a couple of dialogs I figured it out.

I liked the map navigation mechanic, although feedback could be improved. Reading conversations from the past while in the present is a narrative form that always catches my attention.

If the sentence about Google Translate was a joke, I didn’t get it. But in general the writing was interesting and to the point.

Kudos for using Godot!

If you played every option, then you’re actually really good at it. Thank you for doing so!

We should probably use your sentence about younger people in the splash screen of the game.

We’re extremely glad that the game made you laugh and that you had a good time playing it.

What a great way to start a comment!

We’re glad that you enjoyed the game and that the TV contributed to the game’s vibe. At one point during development, we considered using a remote control, but we changed our minds because we wanted everything to feel more ’90s.

Thank you so much!!!

You don’t know how happy it makes us feel what you said.

Thanks! We’re glad it made you laugh.

Thanks! It’s great that you mention the controls because that feeling of using knobs and controlling the game in an unconventional way for the genre is one of the key elements of the game.

We’re glad to know that it somehow made you remember something from your childhood.

Thank you so much. That adjective is all we need to know that we achieved our goal with the game.

Due to lack of time, we couldn’t add more scenes from Titanic, Terminator 2, and Matrix, but it’s good to know that you found it funny that one of them repeated over and over again. We’ll keep that in mind for the post-jam version.

If the game made you laugh, then our effort was worth it.

Thanks! It is good to know you enjoyed our game. We hope it made you laugh a little.

Thanks for you comment. We’re happy to know you found it humorous.

Terrific set of themes. Thank you so much for creating and sharing this!

😍 😍 😍 😍

Muy tierno.

Me alegra que Benito haya podido entrar a comer pollito.

Yup. At the moment I started building Popochiu I didn’t like the workflow of Escoria, but I didn’t experiment much with it.

Thanks for your comment. I’m happy to know you think the plugin is great. For an experienced beginner I recommend using Godot 4.0 because it has great improvements in scripting in comparisson with Godot 3. Buuuut, it is still in beta and you can experience some bugs (like losing textures). If you are just experimenting, then it will be fine if you start with Godot 4.0.

Most of the plugin is already working in Godot 4.0. I hope to release the first beta next week!

English subs. by the moment, but I'll upload a version with English voices soon.

This is so cool! Now I can work with a Windows 98 like interface. Thank you so much for developing this plugins.
