This is a good game. The UI works, the full-screen POV works well and is immersive, the music is great. I like the weird stuff the characters say. Amazing that you can complete this in a week. I ran this on linux + wine and also with the love framework. Very impressive, a massive undertaking for one week's work. Congratulations :)

Pretty solid, definitely has a classic feel! I like how snappy the movement is.

Granted I understood right and you can't use the Steel Key to open the Gate, I think I found most of what the game has to offer (I tried to bump onto every wall but I still may have missed some hidden doors, leave alone buttons and such).

Overall I greatly enjoyed my time with the game.

I mapped the full town then found the map and explored all the caves using it.

You went with a big scope, variety of combat might be slightly limited but overall many aspects are polished. The caves are just different enough that they don't feel like bloat.

I love that you use instant movement, I'm a bit sad when I'm walking on a grid while not being able to walk as fast as I click.

However for the same reason I'm not sure about the use of cooldowns instead of turns, since you don't use real time otherwise (while Dungeon Master needs real time for plenty of puzzles and such).

Nonetheless presentation and exploration are top notch, easily on par with some commercial games, good job.

It's weird , the file is in the folder but I can't seem to be able to reload my save, the button is disabled in the inn, and I assume I should be able to reload from the main screen (at least after restarting, based on the previous comments) but there's no command either.

Best game in the jam by far. I'm speechless and humbled. I will come back to finish this, but I've been playing an hour, doing quests, getting gear, finding secrets and thinking how was this possible in a week.

You should definitely sell this.

Simply Fantastic !!! We want more like this one !

When i saw the title and the ant on the screenshot, couldn't help but thought of cinemaware (really don't know why).

The graphics are great, the music title is excellent, and the interface is good too.

Plus it's done with Löve2d so it run even on small configs with poor gpu like mine.

It looks like a real game, i will play again.

I am sorry to have give up of submitting my own entry before the end (i wanted something complete, but that would have been a tech-demo). If i had submitted something, i could have rated high your entry :) My only regret.

I will have a look to atlas maker.

Thank you for providing sources.

A very nice entry - probably the most traditional of the bunch.

I got caught for a while in a short street until I found the 'hidden' puzzle button.

the only negative thing is the lack of enemies - I know they are around cause I heard them in the really nice looking forest :)

How am I supposed to rate other games if I keep playing this one? Great game.

This is... motivational. You were able to do this in a week!?!? Wow. I loved the look and feel of the graphics. You even had voice overs! It's a great game and it's very complete. Exploration is rewarded and you even included a save mechanic so that dying didn't sting as bad as it could of. Combat was enjoyable. I'm absolutely impressed! I had a blast playing the game!

Considering that you built something to help you do this specifically shows me the power of creating your own framework to work from. I think that once I clean up my entry, I'll strip it down to the bare bones and make something that I can use to build more games in the future. Thanks again for hosting, and showing us what you can really get done in a week!

That was great fun and made me revisit my childhood spent playing Dungeon Master on my Atari ST. There was an amazing amount of content in the game. The teleport mechanism was annoyingly enjoyable too! Damn rats. It really checks the completeness box and it's amazing you guys managed to finish this in a week. A full inventory system with items is just very impressive. Music is spot on. atmospheric and fitting with the game perfectly. Voice overs a nice touch too. The maps and compass were nice mechanics too. Old school goodness. Thanks for making it!

This game looks and sounds gorgeous. oh man the music. Amazing. It's hard to believe this level of quality can come out of jam game. I just died to a fire ant I found in a secret area in the town, time to reload and try again :)

Wow! This was a real treat to play! I even busted out the graph paper and started making meticulous maps :) The art is excellent and you really hit that nostalgia vibe really hard! You were even kind enough to add a sound to my hated enemy, the teleporter :D. All in all, rock solid and an excellent showcase for AtlasCreator. Honestly, this game look like legit ready to be put on Steam.

This is incredibly well polished and feels like an actual old-school (D)RPG.
 The UI is great, there's a variety of items that do stuff and the game is well written.

Sadly, I personally can't enjoy instant move games. I get lost and confused extremely quickly and it is physically straining for me to play.

So now I'm not sure how I'm supposed to rate the game...
The audio, graphics, and completeness are superb, no questions asked BUT  how am I supposed to rate the fun factor? For me personally, it's not that high solely based on the navigation alone (which is a big factor in DRPGs), but it is by no means a bad game! (everything besides the movement is great). So I think I'll go with a "middle of the road" approach for now, but I might change my mind later.  

Is it just me, or is there no loading a save from the start screen?

edit: strange, now it suddenly works

Okaaaay! Took me a bit more than 3 hours and a "bug-fix" ;) but it was worth all the time!

This is such an homage to the classics. I just love it!

When I first saw the many fields in the inventory i though: hmm, well, someone had planned for a lot of items there... And then they came ^^. And they came not only with different stats, getting better and better, no. They also came with decisions! Shall I rather skill my mana? Or is attack and defense more valuable? Or rather my Health? Even super rare items can be found. Great job here!

But not enough. A certain guy suddenly offers you magic spells! And to cast them you need to find things and there are side quests and hidden rooms and multiple different dungeons and objects can be clicked to find items and hidden buttons, and and and

Considering the effort we took in making our game: Simply Wow!

Thinking about all the images and system in place I have soo many questions ^^, starting with: Who draw those trees and stones and why is that palette looking so great, and how many hours did that take in sum? I fear it took less than I think :). Fighting is "straight forward". I mean it! Enemy in front of you: click button, hope you don't miss. A known mechanic done well.

Oh! And not to forget the sound! The music is super fitting and I love the muffled voice acting sounding like I'm back in the days of Might and Magic.

So, now let me look really deep to find something to criticize! ^^

Okay, there was this last "bug" of course, concerning a certain gate ;)

But honestly, I cannot come up with something bad. I would have said, there are a few types of enemies, but that never felt odd or to few. Plus it fits the story.

Well, I wouldn't have invested 3+ hours if I wouldn't really love this. 

I even recommend putting it more in public somewhere.

Fantastic Job!

Greetings,

I really liked this game, the thrilling atmosphere, the old school graphics and especially the NPCs (the first time founding a NPC really scared me, but when I realized, all the dialogs were funny )

I've played this one a bit. Quite complex world, I'll definitely need some time to wrap my head around before rating.

I got stuck on the town area a bit though... I got to keep looking.
