beautiful game !
(if u got multiple notifications of me saying same thing....my browser glitched)
Thank you!
(It did say I had three new replies. Thanks for letting me know why.)
Very nice game!
Smooth controls, I hope you finish this game. GL!
this will be a great game.
Good contrat between the player and the background. GG
Really short, and there's too many art styles in the game that don't really go well with each other. The idea is really good, and I hope u come to finish it sometime. Keep up the nice work.
Excellent looks very good, with more time it will improve.
It looks interesting, I hope you finish it one day
Can't wait to see how this comes together after the jam! Cute character and the controls feel nice.
Very nice! Good job!
GOOD JOB
Wow, the controls feel really nice. Artstyle is really cool too. Although, playing a story-driven game might be not handy during quick-pased things like jams. Still, loved that Alice in Wonderland feeling.
Thanks. This software is not really made for easy dialogue and I had to set up a system of invisible blocks for Sally to collide into to trigger it to appear. Then at first I could only get it to advance by clicking ON each text object. I eventually found I could set it to show/delete the text objects with mouse clicks anywhere on the screen, but the text would only show in the right order if I set up the show/delete text objects events backwards. I'm sure there's a much more efficient way with string variables or something and I know Yarn can be integrated, I just did not have time to learn it for the jam.
Sadly it's so short at this moment, i got into this story. Looking forward for updates!
Thanks. I am working them and would like to have the full version up by the time the jam is over.
Seems really interesting, good job.
looks cool, am interested to see how the full version looks, btw, try applying the grain filter to the players as well, i hink it might look better
Thanks. I thought about that, but I wanted them to pop out from the background, especially Sally, who does not come from the grayscale dream world. However, I did put a slight sepia filter to her because the default image popped out too much and for the bird I added a much stronger sepia tint. The oracle, I definitely wanted to stand out, but maybe I should add a slight tint to it too.
I'm stuck on "What are you? A bird or a bee?" but looks cool, I like the dark style
Did you try left clicking to advance the text? I got that it into the game description, but forgot to put it in the in-game instructions.
The game looks pretty good but the Theme isn't really in there. And this is more of a personal taste but im not into creepy music. Good job though.
The theme was pets/companions, so I felt that an animal companion that accompanied the player through the forest would fit the theme.
I get what you mean about creepy music. I'm not found of scary games/music myself, which is why I made sure to note in one of the descriptions that the game was not intended to be horror, just spooky atmospheric, and I tried to aim for mysterious music as opposed to scary. I think the title is actually "Melodic and Gentle Ambiance," though coupled with the forest and old film effect, it definitely is a bit creepy :-O
Oh sorry. to me it just sounded a bit creepy.
And i said that since the pet didn't do much but now i changed my mind sorry.
That's fine. I do agree the music did come out slightly creepy and the inclusion of my pet/companion is not outright stated like some other submissions made sure to do. Maybe I will have the bird-bee described as her companion in the final version. Thank you for your feedback.
No problem. And thanks for not taking it too badly
