The initial version that is currently in development is for PC, Mac, Linux and consoles. After that we will look at the mobile version (which will be different in quite a few aspects).
We are internally testing a different flow for the levels and adding some extra content and fixing and tweaking. Thanks for playing and leaving a comment!
We aren't actively working on the game right now. So the core is still as it was after the game jam. We might revisit it to turn it into a more full experience in the future after we finish current projects.
We do thank you for your continued interest and return though! If enough players are interested in buying a full version of the game then we can spend more time on it!
Each house and character has different genes. The skin tone is one of the gene attributes but is not linked to anything else in the game (so not part of the goal for the player). Even though the game was made in only 48 hours we did find it important to add some diversity. We would love to expand on that even more in a potential future version of the game. The actual winning goals that cumulate into the score are: Years you manage to survive, number of family members, average lifespan, oldest family member times the number of generations.
We appreciate your enthusiasm! Feel free to join the SCHiM discord server to engage more with us and others about SCHiM. We still have quite some development ahead but we do interact with the community. We will also eventually do some playtesting with members of the community!
We will look into creating some instructions in the future. For the original game jam, we were out of time and left it at the original experiment to learn. Thank you for the feedback!
Maybe your mouse sensitivity is really high. I checked and the sensitivity slider in the escape-menu works for me. You can probably lower the sensitivity even further in your windows settings.
All music/songs are made by Jaye and the in house team of Extra Nice. I will check with Jaye if you can post the video and will add that information to the description. I'll get back to you asap. Thanks for playing!
Oh, yes, of course. I should have thought of that (and so should itch.io). It's a browser only game. So you can't play it from the itch launcher, only from here.
Hm. That's strange. Hard to tell what's going wrong from here. There might be an output_log.txt inside of the game's folder (or the data subfolder). If you find it and upload it for me, I might be able to make a guess.
Thanks for playing our game and the feedback! We're not actively developing it, so I don't think we'll still make changes to it. But as I mentioned previously, we might pick up the system again and create a new game around it. So I'll keep your point in mind!
Thank you for playing. We really enjoyed making this game in the Ludum Dare game jam and we are looking into another internal jam. So we can look at it with fresh eyes!
More story and a challenging difficulty would be awesome!
I'm quite certain this is not the last you will see of Noble.
Thank you for playing! We will discuss your feedback about more safe points! At what point or points did you expect a safe point? (you can also send a message directly if you want to clarify a bit more)
