Great game! Really got the point across in a short time, and the visuals were great, with lots of little details in the background like the tree. I also liked the very optimistic message that we will make it to 2070!
Thanks a lot! Happy to hear you think it works. Yeah well, you need to have a vision of the future that could be. Even if it sometimes looks bleak we need some kind of idea of a positive future in order to fight for it.
You're absolutely right! After having some time to think about this in the last week, I agree that there should be a positive message at the end to motivate people to do better and avoid devolving into nihilism. Something which I didn't manage to bake into my own game. But next year I will give this a higher priority.
Well I don't think it always has to be. Dark endings can be good as well since some people feel that way and our stories should reflect that. I just think that it's important to also be able to envision something positive sometimes. There's room for both and I think a game jam such as this is a perfect place to find different kind of stories about how we look at our present and future in a time that for many is pretty depressing.
