Very unique! I like how everyone has their wants and you just have to do your best to accommodate. Very realistic :p

Developer

As a theatre kid I know how much drama comes from casting. Glad you enjoyed!

Submitted

Interesting! I liked it! The idea is very original, the mechanics of friendship and enemies is fun! This could be made into an interesting full small game! :) Great work!

Developer

Thank you so much! Glad you see potential.

Submitted

Very interesting concept. Great stuff!

Submitted

This is a very unique idea! I'd prefer the game to show the stats that changed after the show, to see how well or how bad I'm doing, but the design and complexity of things is amazing!

Developer(+1)

Glad you enjoyed! Definitely agree about needing more feedback after a show.

Submitted

That is a new take I havn't see yet :D also very nice implementation

Developer

Thank you so much!

Submitted

This was quite a chill experience, I just sorta hunched back in my chair, with mouse in hand and enjoyed the management aspect. I liked this one a lot! Great presentation too!

Developer

Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed the calm vibe!

Submitted

I really liked the concept! Good job

Submitted

Great concept - balancing the requirements for the role against the available actors can get really challenging (in a good way)! I also loved how actors would become enemies, adding additional constraints :)

Developer(+1)

Glad you enjoyed!

Submitted

Felt more like a game of managing than puzzle from the randomness of the level, but it's a good thing. More pronounced  feedback on how well you did during a year would be welcome :)

Developer

Definitely agree, it is more of a management sim. Also, you're right about it needing more feedback. Glad you enjoyed!

Submitted

Cool concept, but feels a bit too random, maybe add some more explicit feedback?

Developer

Thank you! And I agree, more feedback is needed.

theatre kids rise...

this was so fun i spent way too long playing this lol

awesome concept. as a theatre kid this was very much a role reversal for me, i was evilly laughing as i was picking favourites and pissing people off. 

would love some sort of reward or penalty depending on how the audience felt. maybe a screen in between shows to show the audience approval rating and the happiness of each cast member

i got so excited for the names of the shows to pop up and understand the jokes, i want to be your friend lol

As a theatre kid myself I know how emotional the casting process is. Nice idea about the between show screens - definitely agree that more feedback to the player is needed.

Glad you appreciated the show puns! had to reupload the project just to add in "Mean Grills"

Submitted

Loved this! I would love a more fleshed out version as well. Anything for some drama!

Developer

Glad you enjoyed! The drama of drama club is unmatched.

Submitted

This is a really unique concept! I spent a lot of time thinking about the perfect choices. Good job!

Developer

Glad you enjoyed!

I like the concept, but there are too many things and the game gets repetitive that the player is bored. If you can simplify the game, that would be better. But great concept, check out mine!

Submitted

More fun than I’d like to admit, but also pretty luck-based. It’d be nice if you were at least guaranteed to draw plays you can fill all the roles on. Though picturing a group of 4 trying to perform a play that needs 7 actors is kind of funny now that I think of it.

Developer

Thank you! Definitely agree that it can be pretty luck based, trying to gage long term strategy in a jam game is hard so can be balanced better. Glad it ended with a  fun story!

Submitted

Mechanics go quite deep actually, and interacting with the cards is very satisfying!

Developer(+1)

I'm glad it the game feel worked for you!

Submitted

Ok this is COOL - great idea, love the theme interpration. Great art.

Developer

Thank you so much! Turns out you can do a lot with multi-coloured squares.

Submitted

Very interesting. Great Job!

Submitted

Nice visual :)

Submitted

This was really fun! I think some icons to track conditions like "broken arm" and "throat infection", sort of how "best buddies" have a line between them to help you remember. Overall great game and great work! 

Developer

Thank you! Definitely a good shout. Glad you enjoyed!
