How does your game fit the theme?
I wanted the player to play as a "NPC" collecting rewards to give to Heroes to come and defeat monsters and save the village

Pretty cool game, the level is really big
The game crashed when I talked to the heroes, but the concept and the presentation were on point!
Wow you did a lot in such a short amount of time! It was really nice to walk around and see what you've made. The fire gave me a sense of urgency and the running felt more like a light jog. Well done :D
Fun concept for a game! Great entry!
this is a pretty cool concept and there is some potential in it. i hope you could continue to make it better!
Seems like an ambitious project to take alone in a game jam. GG for making it!
Cool game! In the end the character started to float when getting close to the heroes. I like the main character, I mean, the main npc look too hehe
This could turn into a really good game if you put more effort into it for the next update.
For starters, add proper menus.
Since this looks kind of like an old game, you could give slight screen pixelation and lower the poly count of the characters.
The heroes in this game just sit and watch the whole city burn, which is kind of funny but you should make it so that they are inside the tavern and you talk to them with dialogue.
You could give multiple scenarios to this kind of game, one scenario is monsters are attacking. In another scenario, bandits are raiding some shops while the heroes are in another town so you need to get a horse and call them.
You can maybe make multiple hero types where they are good at one thing than others.
You could expand this game to work really well.
Thanks for the detailed and helpful feedback, those are def interesting features I can explore :) The original idea (if I had the skills) I originally wanted different monsters to spawn with different weakness and you had to find the right type of weapon to convince the right type of hero to help.
You nailed the 2000s knock off mmo vibe 👍
LOL
I was a bit overwhelmed by the quick start but your presentation is very good. Unfortunately, the game has crashed but I like the idea
An interesting concept, and well presented at that. I feel like I would have enjoyed a bit of interesting decision making, as there aren't many obstacles present. I know the enemy ai would probably help if they worked in the build like they do in your editor (can totally relate to that), but it could be interesting to somehow have the player pick and choose what resources to gather or what to use for bartering when they do get to the heroes.
Thanks for the feedback, we are on the same wave length that's exactly the type of system I wanted to implement, but my skills as a game maker arn't there just yet... maybe for the next jam :)
The idea to show how a npc get ready before giving a quest to the heroes is a creaitve and intersting idea. i enjoyed exploring the village, but the monsters did nothing to me. overall could see myself play somthing like that in a full scale game
Got completely lost once I jumped out of the village. Interesting idea to be the one to help the hero. Made me think a bit of Poppy from League of Legends, who is carrying the hammer for the Hero.
You are so cute! ;D The description has everything. The idea is amazing and I can see that you really had a blast making it, even though you went through multiple crisis during the making of it. It has great potential and if you ever come back to the idea I'd love to see where you take the story.
Great job friend and good luck in the jam! <3
Also if you find the time I'd really appreciate if you tried and rated our game as well! It's a short story-based game
This is a great concept. I really like it and would be good to see all implementation of mechanics. Play as NPC is really fun 🙃
Thank you for the kind words
good job, fellow npc enjoyer!
The running felt very sluggish for someone who is supposed to be panicking about their village, I also found it really hard to navigate the village. But overall an interesting idea.
Very cool idea! Good job!
Fun idea. I love how the game looks but the game itself is a bit broken at times. Overall a nice submission.
