itch.io

I started working on remaking the game so I can actually add more content without breaking what's already there (also migrating to a proper dialogue system). Progress is slow, mostly because I've been working on other projects. Can't really give an estimate for when it'll be done.

As for planned features, it's mostly around build-crafting power gain and having the host be more reactive to what the player is doing. I do want to add identity loss as a possible reaction to the player taking a completely passive build.

would you happen to have an AMD gpu?

I'm still planning to do an update for the game, but it's more like a remake of the entire game. Can't really give an estimate for when it's done because I've been working on other projects in the meantime.

thanks, I ended up having a lot of stuff I needed to cut to meet the jam deadline. i'll probably come back to this project eventually to flesh it out more.

What browser and operating system are you using?

sorry, i don't currently have plans to keep working on this project.

Weird, it works for me on a Windows 10 PC using Firefox. Maybe there's some browser setting that makes it show up?

On what device? The version of Godot I used for this project has an issue with displaying particles on iPhones.

What platform are you playing on?

No, that's the last one.

Sorry for the late response! You press the thought bubble to continue the conversation with your host. It works for me, what operating system are you using?

Ok that took way less time than I expected, it should work now 

I think I know what's causing that, I'll see if I can get a fix out later today :)

Thanks for giving it a go! The number under the player is the amount of time they can stay untethered to something(in seconds), it's kinda unnecessary because I was able to make a UI element to display the time left lol.

This is a really solid foundation, excited to see where you take this in the future!

The only real gripes I have are:

- it feels a bit clunky to have to right click to deselect each character when I want to select a different character (I don't think its possible for a character to move to an occupied tile, so it feels like an unnecessary step)

- it's not really obvious when a character is possessed

- the buttons to activate the ghost powers kind of blend into the UI behind them

That being said, I love the art, animations, and music!

The only real suggestion I have is that the powerups weren't immediately obvious that they were not enemies. Great job otherwise!

Love the character sprites, would've liked having the controls on the itch page or somewhere in the game (I do have a lower resolution monitor, so that may lead to some things getting cut off). 

Personally, its a bit confusing that your loose condition is the same as what you're meant to be doing (holding slimes). Maybe having the black slimes grab on to the characters' limbs by re-parenting them to the character could make it feel more "this is not what you're supposed to be doing" by not engaging with the kink.

That being said, you did a great job on this!

It's pretty good! I'd personally like more clarity on what mining the ores did because as far as I could tell, they didn't do anything except take more hits to break. Also for the Multiplier, a bar showing how much you've build up to the next multiplier would also be nice, or just have a tooltip for the multiplier tell you how it works (because Im still not certain how it works lol).

The art is lovely, the scroll up and down to view more of the cave is neat, the screenshake adds a great feeling of weight to your actions.

Thanks! The 2D pathfinding is actually way easier to set up than you'd expect thanks to Godot's built-in NavigationAgent2Ds that you can just set a target position and Godot basically handles the rest. 
People seem to be interested in it, so I might keep working on it :)

I found the controls for the hypnosis bit to be a bit unintuitive, maybe using the scroll wheel could cycle between the receptors to pick which one was active? It was also a bit hard to tell when I was correctly aligning them at first, but I picked up on the chimes, which have a really nice sound. Also didn't realize I could click and drag to look around the room until I got to the third receptor lol. (this may be a monitor issue, I have a 1440x900 ) The text also was a bit hard to read for me, but that also might be a monitor issue.

Personally, I love what you did here. The player's model is pretty neat, love how the game makes you participate in the hypnosis by following the spiral. Good work!

I'm also unable to play the game. Below where you set the file for itch to run in browser, you can modify the embed options. 

Setting the embed viewport dimensions to whatever your camera resolution is in Godot, mine was 1152 x 648

Thanks for playing my game! 

Totally forgot about valid path checks for delivering items, thanks for bringing that up. The mouse button thing was actually a debug thing I added to test the map system and forgot to disable lol.

The trail idea sounds pretty interesting to experiment with! If I come back to this project, that and upgradable structures would definitely be on the top of my to-do list.

Yeah, I didn't really go into this jam with a plan besides "I wanna make little dudes do things", so there isn't really much of a game. Thank you for playing it though! :)

This was neat! I did have an issue with part of the initial tutorial text being cut off on the bottom of my screen though.

Could you please elaborate?

Does the upper HUD blend in with the background or is it a size issue?

Thanks for playing the game!

Idle thoughts were a wishlist item for the jam, but I am working on making them a thing.

Honestly never thought of just having the thoughts be options to progress story paths, I'll try looking into it when I have time. The dialouge system actually used to do something similar, where you would need to click the thought bubble within a certain time or it would disappear, ending a conversation early and the host would say something different. I changed it to it's current behavior like the day before submission because it was hard to tell that you needed to click on them to actually do something. That, and it would be weird to have the host talking to you without unlocking having a host in case the player skipped the unlock.

Ignoring thoughts increased an acceptance counter and clicking on them increased a resistance counter, but neither are used for anything in the current version of the game.

oops, thanks for the heads up!

Buy all was added in an update (you right click an upgrade to do that). The phone a friend technically upgrades itself the more you use it, increasing the number of thrusts the friend can do, but I'll probably add some upgrades to the ability itself. Thank you for playing my game :)

It should be fixed now, thanks for pointing that out :)

i forgot to change the page's text color, oops

the game is very barebones, so there's like 2 behaviors and all the enemies have the same(non-scaling) stats. i figured people would rather see tf than more mechanically interesting enemies so i put most of my effort there rather than making a balanced gameplay experience.

thanks for playing my game :)

That's weird, I'll look into it.

Supposedly it's an issue with a build compression setting causing the issue. I'll try to get a new build uploaded later today.

Does that happen when you run the game from your browser or is it only with the downloaded one?

It was my first time actually making pathfinding, so it's pretty unoptimized. I've got a few ideas on how I can speed it up, though. Thank you for playing my game!
