I'm honored to be one of your loyal knights, ô great Pancake King🙇‍♂️

Aww, thank you so much😊

Yeay🐔🧠! No I think it was pretty nice the way you approached it, subtle but cool for those who played the prequel to see the connection between the two games! If my little chicken brain was able to figure it out, don't worry it was clear enough😋 It was the dialogue with the mom that tipped me off. And this game is definitely full of charm and I think you've used the assets in a very creative way, like the miniatures (I have to agree with Barry, so cute)!!

I totally agree with you on that. I love subtility and environmental storytelling in games but I don't really mind if the story is never explained at all at the end, now that I think about it a lot of the games I enjoyed the most have cryptic stories😁 And yeah I also feel the same as you about too much exposition/explanation, sometime less is more! So I think I would say I prefer ambiguity but I also like a good balance of the two! I also admire games that try to tell a story without any words or dialogue.

Sir Poulet of Roti? I like it🐔 These are the best kind of sequel! Can't wait to see what you're gonna make with it!

I'm all over the place but I'm fine, thank you very much! And really sorry for the abrupt end in our last conversation🙏

Also, I have a question about the deep lore of the game, is the first game the nightmare that Barry woke up to?🤔

Really enjoyed that short voxel adventure and loved all the references!

The burning sand was a brilliant idea btw. 

I hope Sarah will be alright until the next update😁

Thank you for this game, I needed those good "vibes" today, as the kids say👴

I wasn't epecting a sequel to Barry's Bountiful but I was pleasantly surprised, it was super cute (the sword and shield were such a nice touch and liked all the emojis, didn't know barrels were so expressive!)! A great introduction to an epic RPG!!

EDIT: Strangely, I don't seems to be able to rate this game, maybe because of the jam? Well, take your stars anyway ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

It's cool, last time we spoke you  said you were feeling uninspired so I'm glad you're back in business and with 3 games! Mmmmh, does that mean the RPG in a Box game is for the unoriginal jam?🤔

We'll see, I have to brainstorm for a simple idea, can you lend me your big brain for a bit?

Haha, I want to play it even more now🤓 

Great!🤩

Wow, you're hard at work I see, that's awesome! Ooouh, an RinB game?! I'm super intrigued! I really like the theme of the "unoriginal" game jam.

Thanks! No need, you're right, you already convinced me... and stop being right! I'll try to make something super simple, I don't promise anything but I'll try my best to submit a thing😁

Can't wait to see what its all about!

Hiiiiiii! I'm super hot but everything's fine, what about you?

Nice, I wonder what delicious games you've been cooking this month, count me in to play them all👨‍🍳! I'm curious, what the jams you participate in? l I guess one of them is Ash's BAKIN jam😀

Well, I set out on a quest to learn Godot, I hope to upload experimentations on itch.io to to keep track of my progress. And since I can't multitask, I had to put my BAKIN Jam project on hold... so I don't think I will be able to participate😥

Oh you still have it? That's so cool, you're a good tamagotchi father👨‍👦💩! Haha, yes me too, no more unfinished games😎

That's a cute idea actually, could be fun but I don't know how hard it would be to make it in BAKIN. Me too, my friend, me too... lazyness is a curse👺! Your pixel art style looks really nice to me in The Stranger Fables of Fantasy Heroes and Aqua's Pizza Party Disaster - and don't say that its just RTP edits or what not, they are super charming and well made!

Hey hey don't say that, I'm just gonna repeat what you just said to me: "We've still got time for now, so there's no need to rush". Maybe just launch BAKIN and play with it a bit without thinking of the jam, doing random stuff that goes through your mind, it could spark some unexpected ideas. Or I could also take out my virtual whip to stop your from procrastinating😈

Yes you're right, it's part of life I guess! And yes, thank you very much🤗

Haha, would love to see that! I'm curious, were you also addicted to these cute little creatures that pooped everywhere? Maybe you just waiting for the right time to make your pancake magnum opus? Haha, that would be so cool to make games just by imagining them, the process would be simpler, and maybe a bit more chaotic 😎

Oh yes, a game with a dog mini game is a 10/10, the rest of the game is just a bonus🐶 That's the problem with 3D models, it's harder to personalize or to add animations compared to pixel art for example (not that I'm good at pixel art).

Not really, I experimented a bit with the engine, ideas and stuff (and maybe reducing the scope I had in mind😁) but nothing too serious right now. How about you, are the ideas flowing?

Oops sorry for the wait, I had a pretty stressful weeks, hope you haven't been staring at the screens all this time, impatiently waiting for my reply🙃

Hey why not, haha, or a pancake tamagotchi-like where you take care of your own pancake🥞🥰 So much you can do with just pancakes, the possibilities are just endless!!

No problem, it was my pleasure to play it, and I was able to pet a dog (he's such a good boi)!

Yes you're right🤓

Ouh that's quite a bit actually, definitely a pro BAKIN baker in my eyes👏! Even more so that BAKIN feels, to me at least, a bit more complex than other similar engines. I'm sure the inspiration will come to you! I'm happy that you approve of my side quest, ô great Jason, the one and only pancake lord🙏🥞 And yes that would be cool, maybe even just a small easter egg!

MLDA was pretty great, I really enjoyed the exploration and the surreal elements!

Haha yes you're right, and I'm not going to complain😋

Really detailled and professionnal review:

I liked it, you can pet the dog.

(I really liked it, I wonder what you'll do with this concept! Loved exploring the maps (I think I explored everything), almost felt like I was exploring a dream, surreal and sometimes a bit disturbing. It reminded me of Yume Nikki! Also really liked the character models and the environment! That was a great experience!👍)

Aww thank you🤗 Well, I met a few before but never had time to chat with them because I ate them too quickly... 👀 Yeeah, we're not usually too talkative!

Not too much actually, I did use it a bit when it came out but never made anything concrete with it (and it was mostly just mapping) so the eventing, the layout and camera tools are pretty new to me. How about you, are you a pro baker? And yes, same! Do you already have an idea for your game? Personnally I think I'm gonna keep things really simple for this one and make an RPG inspired by the first dragon quest/warrior (and it might include a side quest about finding a pancake recipe but shhh...🤫).

Ooh you have me even more interested about playing MLDA now, might try it today actually and gave you my really detailled and professionnal review afterward! The premise alone sounds really cool! Can't wait to see what other delicious games you'll create and to see how you'll improve your skills along the way👍

Haha, that's pretty sweet😘 I also really enjoy it when we chat!

Hey, glad to hear from my favorite pancake🥞

Awesome that you're gonna participate to AmalgamAsh next game jam, and yes I've also joined it, hoping to submit something😁 Just hammer that creative block, show it who's the boss!

Great news concerning Someone Stole My PC, it was a really charming entry! Ooh, I haven't played Mort's Last Day Alive yet but if it's among your favorites, it must be good, I might try it soon then!

Thanks for posting and have a nice day too😎

Great game, short and sweet as always, easy to understand even without any text! Liked the cute little interactions with the environment and the last sequence👍

Oh, interesting theme! These are words of great wisdom and you're totally right about that🧙‍♂️

Thank you very much and yeah, pround of finally posting them online rather than keep them for myself (Thanks Ash for that!)

Oh you're working on a jam game? Nice, what is the theme? Yeah focus on that and just let your ideas florish for this games, maybe you'll go back to it like you did before, and each new small update will bring you closer to completion!

No need to thanks me, I really enjoy what you do and talking to you from time to time is super nice, so if my encouragment can help you even a little, I'm happy😁. It definitely can be tricky, haha! How many of my projects never saw the light of day? Too many to count🙃

Oh, I'm sorry to hear that but a lack of inspiration/motivation happens to the best 😉

I'm not an expert, far from it, but perhaps during your break, try to take a good old sheet of paper and categorize and visualize your ideas (characters, important places...) and write a beginning, the main events and an ending, just a line or two to get a idea of how the game will unfolds. it might help you to work on something other than a computer.

I can definitely understand that! Yes I'm sure it must demand a lot of dedication, experimentation and die&retry to progress in this game but I'm sure you can do it, I have faith in you💪.  Also I'm sure that even in Kenshi's cruel world, no one would want to hurt a pancake! 

Haha, but it's not our fault, I blame time itself! When you're bored, time goes in slowmotion but when you do something you like or you're invested in... it just fly by, that's not fair in my book😫

Yes 😎

I think I watched an Obscure playthough a long time ago, it has coop right? Yes, Kenshi does looks like a really in-depth game, but it must be super satisfying when you finally understand how it work and finally manage to progress without dying horribly.

Yeah it was around that time👀 But when I saw that you'd replied, I really wanted to reply back before falling asleep haha...

Haha! Yeah, you're definitely right about that!

For Quest Master, there is a demo available if you ever want to test it out, the devs also annonced a complete overworld/campaign editor as an update after the full version is released, really hyped about that. Yes games with level editor are awesome, and they are even better when they are fun and easy to use, almost feeling like a game in itself🤩

I haven't played either one but I heard a lot of good things about Kenshi, even though it seems really unforgiving💀 Well, it happens, but one day, out of the blue, they'll maybe become you're new addiction!

Its going alright I guess but it's harder than I thought haha! Can't help myself but to brainstorm ideas for my next project😛

Well I bought Quest Master which just came out a few days ago in early access on Steam, its like a Mario Maker but for creating Zelda type dungeons. Pretty fun, love the art style and the music! Also recently played through Minami Lane,  my god this game is so cute! What about you, any cool games or suggestions? 

Congratulations on reaching v0.1 (I'm a bit late but hey)🎉. Super happy to see this game growing one update after another!

I'm in love with your pixel art work, the castle looks so good and colorful, the tiles have a retro feels to them that I find really charming! On top of that, the new queen looks GORGOUS and really charismatic, I like her already😁 I don't know if this was intentionnal or not but the guard saying "Being a royal guard is really boring" still have the interaction with the previous queen.

One of the new companions seems strangely familiar🤔 Thanks for that easter egg, it was super cute!

Love these small updates, its like an advent calendar where each day I get a surprise (speaking of christmas, thanks santa for the items!)🎅

The pixel art looks great and I like the fact that I can beat up bandits in the camp are you going to try to make simple a custom battle system like a bump system?

Awesome job!👍

Thank you so much for playing!

Thank you for playing and good job for making it to the end👍

I'm happy that you enjoyed this little game, thank you very much for playing and for this super nice comment😊. Good luck with your game!

Also, thank you for the donation, it's super sweet of you and I really appreciate the gesture🤗

So many twists!! The savior becoming the kidnapper was a great one!

While, I admit, the box was really cute, I think I fell in love with these green flying monsters, I need to adopt one of them🤩

Just played it, the voices were soo cute, haha😊

Good job and I'm glad you're going to continue working on this game👍

That was actually quite relaxing and surreal! Playing as a box of cereal, living in a milk carton that eat cereal...! Where do you find these ideas, I love them!

If you think about it, wouldn't that be considered cannibalism?👀 Noo... look at its cute smile😀

Thanks you for this super cute font that I bought a while ago, I used it in my latest game and credited you in it.

Thank again!

Super happy that you enjoyed it!

Ouch, glad you were able to fix that by just redownloading the game. Sadly I can't do anything about that since this is part of RPG in a Box.

Oh yeah didn't think about that, I see! And yes you're right. Yes with a bit practice and determination we always achieve what we want, so keep writing! Also goofy dialogue/story can make for a charming game in the end!

You got me, so if you want to help me I can share with you some of my ego (thats work right...?) so we can say together that our games are not so popular because the others are jealous of our incredible talents! And I wouldn't feel alone anymore🙃

FOCUS! No more pancakes growing on trees, they can wait! It's all about dungeon crawling🧙‍♂️ and spooky horror👻 for now!

Happy to hear that😊

Awesome that you were able to express yourself through this game, and even better that it helped you in the end. Never stop making game my friend!

Cute!! Thanks for sharing your garden and for playing!

Another one I have to play! I see, you kind of let your imagination and the ideas that come from it guide you, it's amazing actually! Your brain must be full of ideas! Well for me, it help me a bunch to write the outline on how the game will works and to draw some crappy doodles on paper (my desk is full of them!!) before opening an engine. I'm not really a story/plot guy so it always come naturally (if there is a one😁) once everything is taking shape in my mind and in the game itself.

I will, do not worry! Noo don't look, nothing to see here, my ego is perfectly fine (FeEd mE MoRE cOMpLiMeNTs)🙄

Oooh a farming game about pancakes? That's actually sound like a tasty idea lol, growing different kind of delicious pancakes, but the biggest question... will they grow on trees or in the ground? Maybe both depending on the pancake?🤔

One word... wow (does that even count as a word?), this hits too close to home!

That was really amazing, you did a fantastic job protraying a despressing mind, where everything is difficult, even the everyday tasks. I also think the simple color palette also reflect a monotonouss life very well, where every day looks and feels the same. The use of light and the music was pretty nice too!

Bravo!👏

Yees, cuteness overload! Since they will be voice actings, I guess the story will be rather important? Oh and I don't know if I previously (in our other 1.000 comments from the previous thread) asked you how you design your games. By that I means what the first thing that come to mind when thinking about creating a game? And do you prefers to start creating directly in a game engine or rather write down first on paper the main mechanics, the story, etc? I think it's always interesting to see how each individual's brain work when working on something😋

But I have to, I was destined to do that. More pancakes... always more! I downloaded three of your games, including  Feels Like Anxiety, and will definitely play them today! Haha, there's room before my ego becomes oversized but it's always good to hear that, so thank you again for the kind words😘

I hope you will enjoy it as much as I enjoyed creating it! I'm sure you will design a delicious garden🥞

Thank you for your nice comment! RPG in a Box is a really great and versatile engine!
