Hey thanks so much, I really appreciate it!! :D

Yeah!! 

This was sort of a proof of concept, none of the story was developed, but there'll be a poker simulator set in the same world released October!

Message me on discord @dr_stufoo!!

Heya, its Stew!

I'm currently recruiting a team, we have most people already, programmer's, composers, etc, but are still looking for artists, and animators!

This is about my 7th jam, and we plan on actually selling the game after the jam! :>

The game will be a POKER SIMULATOR, mixed with VN themes, and we're looking for experienced team members, so even if you're a Godot coder or composer, we can likely still use you, and I'd love to chat!

If interested, my discord is dr_stufoo; just send a portfolio and I'm excited to talk with ya!

I appreciate it, and yes, it was really fun to make the animations for this!! :]

Oh cool!!!

And of course!! :>

thanks a ton!! =]

thanks a ton!! :]

thanks so much, I appreciate it!!! :D

and I appreciate the feedback, noted!

FREAKING 10/10 I LOVE IT SO MUCH YESSS FREAK YESSSSSS

Okay, the begginning cutscene is SO GOOD, the story plays out in a relaxed state, with the dark tones, and the audio like lulling you to sleep, its AMAZING!

AUDIO IS SO GOOD

JEEZ, if this game wins, I'll be happy, I'll tell ya that!

:D

It reminds me of indie projects like hollow knight and stuff, relaxing, beautiful, simple, CINEMA!

thanks a lot, if possible, could you rate/review my game?

Have a great one,!!!

Stew

This is really unique!! :D

A word game in a sea of rpgs is rather refreshing, and I really like it, the music ir relaxing, and the gameplay's a nice loop to it!!

Its great to see, thanks for rating my game, good luck!

Yessir, that's me! :D

Initially, they're all gonna be 2-D animated, but its a lot faster, as well as much more unique this way! :D

Thanks a ton, I'll check out your entry rn!

This is fantastic! The visuals are very nice, the cutscenes are great, and the animations and gameplay mechanics are quite advanced for such a time frame, 9/10!

Only feedback I'd give is to maybe enhance the audio a bit, goes a long way! :D

If you don't mind, could you potentially give me feedback/rate my entry, I'd appreciate it!

Have a great one, and good luck!!

THIS IS SUPER COOL!

I clicked cuz' it sort of looked like amogus, but the gameplay is SOOO FUNN, just jetpacking the lil' guy is really neat!

The soundtrack is also amazing! =]

FOR SOME FEEDBACK:

The puzzles were a bit confusing, the hints were somewhat helpful, but too vague, for the first level I wasn't sure if I had to do each eye in the same order, if it reset each level, or anything, it took like 5 minutes of gameplay to figure out blu-green, blu-green, but the lil' guys are really fun so I don't even mind! :3

The dialogue could've been a bit more polished, there were cool elements, like italics or bold to build emphasis, but a little more polsh would've went a LONG way! :D

But that's just my opinion, I really freaking liked this game, its very cool, the particles are nice, all that jazz! :>

If you don't mind, do you think you could play/rate my game and give some feedback? If not that's totally fine, and have a great day man!

This is actually really cool!

Its a unique gameplay mechanic, pretty easy to understand, and fun! :D

For some constructive criticism:

Visuals could've been a biiit enhanced, the 32 bit style is an excellent idea, but I'd love to have seen the implmentation a bit different!

Of course, the length is the biggest issue, just as I was excited to start playing, it stopped XD

The UI and dialogue is a bit amateurish as well, but it has a LOT of features, just needed a bit of polish! :>

But hey, we all overscope sometimes, and those are just a few small things, I really like the concept, its super fun, and I like it, 8/10 overall, make more please!! :>

And if you don't mind, please rate mine and give some feedback too, no pressure though! :>

thanks so much, that means a lot!!

We were really trying to get something small, polished, and easy, so glad it worked, thanks again!!

Heya! Here's the link, and good luck with your kickstarter!!

https://drstufoo.itch.io/kill-death

dr_stufoo is discord!

Heya m8! :D

I'm startin' to put together a team real early, would love to chat!! :>

discord is dr_stufoo!

Oh that's cool! :0

I'm so sorry, having to scrap something you've worked so fricking hard on sucks, but I genuinely think it really helps strengthen your story, 'cuz unimagineable horrors are always scarier than imaginable horrors, at least in my opinion. ^^

Again, one of my favorite submissions, voice acting easily my favorite, have a good 'un!

OMG thank you so much!!! :0

I really really appreciate it!!! ^^

I'll tell you how to get the endings below, just 'cuz its sliiiightly unorthodox,  but anyways yeah, this is my first Vn ever, I've never even played one before this so I didn't know things like Renpy existed, I'd have been able to save SO MUCH time!!! :c

By all means, the writing on this is genuinely abysmal (no offence, self), I spent like 3 weeks on the programming that the writing only had a fraction of the depth I wanted, so I'm DEFINATELY going to be creating a full-version, this isn't even close to being finished, some of the writing is on the literal first draft. XD

Anywho though, for the endings, only 1 of the stats matter, Sadism.

For Marauder:

Getting 0 Sadism gets the good ending.  [Kill no one]

Getting at least 1 Sadism gets the neutral Ending.

Getting max Sadism AND killing the professor at least once gets the bad ending. :]

Also, for the barkeep, to get the good ending, go with the girl, bad ending, dont go with the girl.

That's it. Literally no stats matter 😭

You can even get one ending, load back into that same save, and then just choose the other one. :D

There's only a slight difference in the barkeep one however, really the Marauder has the most dynamic endings. ^^

Have an amazing day m8, you made mine! :D

omg that's so nice! D:

Thanks so much!!! !! :D

I really appreciate it, good fricking luck with judging m8, I bet y'all entry is gonna score super high! >:D

omg thank you so much! :0

I really appreciate it, I'm a bit upset that I wasn't able to really refine the story much past a draft, cuz I had to program everything, but I'll revamp it sooner or later! >:]

I really appreciate the feedback, have an excellent jam!!! ^^

Thank you so much, I really appreciate it! It means a lot from you, y'alls sprites were some of my favorite in all 40 of the submissions I've played! :D

You can't tell, but every sprite was supposed to be a boil frame animation, because I really hate when sprites look static, but eh, time constraints. :c

Also sorry, the morality system I didn't have a lot of time to fully utilize, only 1 of the stats matters for the endings, Sadism.

For Marauder:

Getting 0 Sadism gets the good ending.  [Kill no one]

Getting at least 1 Sadism gets the neutral Ending.

Getting max Sadism AND killing the professor at least once gets the bad ending. :D

I should have put that in the game page!

Also, for the barkeep, to get the good ending, go with the girl, bad ending, dont go with the girl.

That's it. Literally no stats matter 😭

You can even get one ending, load back into that same save, and then just choose the other one. :D

Anyways though, I definitely need to put this on the page, thanks so much for letting me know, and thanks so much for playing my game, I really appreciate it!! ^^

Oh yeah, if y'all are gonna play it today, I'll still be at work lol, so you can just play it and I'll watch it later! ^^

I was watching the cutscene y'all played and I loved it by the way, y'all ffinding the fun text was hilarious! XD (it's intended to be super low, so it just has a very slight wobble, but i went over board  😭 )

Have a good one guys, I really appreciate y'all! :D

P.S. ( it's pronounced "stew"  😭 )

OMG thank you so much!! ^^

Holy frick, this is so professional! :0

So many choices, so many characters, so much polish! :D

I love how like, they just INSTANTLY start murdering zombies, like there's just a pale-ish girl with some bruises, they don't even know what's going on yet for sure, and they're like "yep, let's kill her," NO HESITATION WHATSOEVER, they just literally be crushing in random student's skulls.  😭 

No remorse whatsoever, not like "OH THAT WAS HORRIFYING, I'M SO SORRY," they're just like, fricking, "hope I don't gotta kill more ugly creatures," LIKE THESE WERE PEOPLE 10 MINUTES AGO HOLY FRICK

Favorite character is Ian, least favorite is Amber, leave my boy alone, lad.

Oh, also the timed choices thing is also super nice! ^^

EXCEPT, ONCE I GOT ENDING 1, IT SAID I WAS THE FIRST ONE TO DIE IN THE APOCALYPSE, WHEN I WAS KILLED BY A FELLOW STUDENT, WHO OBVIOUSLY WAS FIRST, IT WASNT ME, IM NOT  T   H  A    T   BAD!!! >:c

Anywas though lol, the sprite mechanics were also really well-handled, with everyone moving to make way for other characters and certain characters leaving and stuff, looks really fluid! :D

The only thing I'd say is that, like most visual novels, the sprites look really stiff, it's hard to get immersed when they're always making the same pose for every interaction/not blinking, idle animation would do wonders here, but not a lot VNs have them, so nothing against you. :D

That's about all I got, a really good VN, pretty underrated too! D:

If you don't mind, do you think you could play my game? I'm looking to get feedback, I'd really appreciate it! :D

Anyways though, have a good day, and good luck with judging!! >:]

OMG, I love, love, LOVE the character designs here! :D

It's really good, the style is amazing! ^^

I got stuck at the cross-word section, because I just suck at crosswords, (I GOT A FEW RIGHT), so I'd reccommend a hint section or something, but I'm actually reall surprised with how polished it is, with actually putting in the letters when you get one and stuff. :0

As for music, if you don't have time to get any, I'd reccomend just getting a looping wind/ambience effect, it's basically silence, but it gives the feel something's about to happen, COULD happen, ya just don't know when. ^^ Gives a really empty feeling!

A bit sad that this didn't get finished though, but hey, we all got lives! :D

Overall though, a nice game, hopefully ya get around to finishing it! =]

Oh, also, if you don't mind, do you think you could perhaps play my submission? I'd really appreciate it, I could really use feedback. ^^

Anyways, have a good day m8, good luck with judgin'! :D

Holy frick, this is maybe the best one I've played ever, WHAT THE FRICK?

This is literally a 5/5 in every way.

The story is told MASTERFULLY, the tone is set before you even start playing. This game saves automatically? You can't save yourself? WHY YOU GOTTA DO ME LIKE THAT?!?

And the way it's telling the before and after between the professor and him walking home, is its just fricking, its so enticing! Genuinely the most fluid story-telling I've ever seen in one of these, it's just, it's, ITS GREAT!

The visuals too, they're just, they're perfect! The TREES HAVE EYES, and nobody fricking asks questions? WHAT? And the silhouettes within the cabin talking, the pov makes it look like you're stalking them, its just, again, MASTERFUL! And the flashlight mechanics? Hello? Shining some things brighter than others depending on how far away they are? Holy polish? What? How even? What?

The music sets such a great tone, with the chilling ambience, the perfect transition to

THE VOICE ACTING! HOLY FRICK!

This is literally the only submission I've played where the voice-acting is a necessary, and GREAT thing, it didn't feel like I was listening to some guy/girl recording something, I was listening to a grandmother telling a story, its just so immersive, they gave their ALL! GAVE THAT GRANNY A GRAMMY! 

And cinematography, like the visuals, is its just masterful! Walking forward, steadily creeping, KNOWING there's something waiting, just not knowing WHAT or WHEN, is its, SO FRICKING GREAT! Finding a pile of skulls is also amazing, its, everything about this is good! The ONLY thing I would change, is the opening cutscene I believe shows one of the monsters, but it would be SO MUCH BETTER to have it entirely up to interpretaion/imagination, completely cementing the psycological horror, no jumpscares, just pure imagined fear.

Anyways though, this is literally the only submission I've given a 5/5 for EVERY category, and holy frick it deserves it. I'm definately reccomending this to other people, and am pretty sure you're going to win one of the prizes, probably voice-acting frankly.

If you don't mind, do you think you could play mine, please? I'm trying to get feedback on it and to get it from you would be such an honor!

Anyways though, yeah this is just, AMAZING, everyone involved gave their A-Game, and HOLY FRICK WHY IS THERE ONLY 2 RATINGS WHY HAS NOBODY ELSE SEEN THIS WHAAAAAAAA

This is SUCH a cute game, omg! :0

The art is AMAZING, every single sprite is adorable, every background has a ton of cool details, it's just, a genuine joy to look at!

Also amazing, is the MUSIC! For fricking real, the music playing before/during/after Yarn appears, is just, it's great!

It just adds SO MUCH depth, masterful stuff here.

The UI and Dialogue Systems work amazing too, and you ever have a custom cursor??? :0

Genuinely SO MUCH polish here, it's amazing!

And it's your FIRST GAME??? WHAT???!!! :0

This is also so fricking underrated, it deserves so many more plays! >:[

Overall, just a great game, I'm reccomending this to people definately, I hope ya get more plays!! :0

By the way, do you think you could play my game? It'd help me a ton, its also my first ever VN. ^^

Anyways though, have a good day, and good luck with judging, they're gonna love it!
