I caught a glimpse into the world you started to build, though I guess you ran out of time. :)
I had a hard time identifying with the interviewer since I seemed to already have a predisposition to the androids, and felt like I didn't have a choice but to be nasty about it. I guess I felt like I disliked the interviewer doubly because I had to "be" him, rather than observe him.
Still, it was a cool WIP to read/play through.
Highly recommend you upload the game as a .zip so that people can play in a browser - .rar is a pretty big obstacle for most. As for the game itself, a lot of confidence in your framing and slow unravelling of the world, which is hard to do but is pretty successful here. The inkjam theme injections were a bit too obvious, imo, especially since the writing otherwise was capable of connecting it to the theme on its own. Ambitious, in a good way.
Thanks for checking it out bushn, it was just my first attempt at Ink and an interactive fiction. Just testing if I could make a submission for a Jam in a day learning Ink. I suck at time management.. lol. Checked out your game, cryptic as hell and that was just great. Although, I kept getting "bad but not worst" ending repeatedly. Guessing because my pet ferret & cat kept sitting on my keyboard ..lol
Oh Man! the "run on browser" part, I'll try again and see. Not sure what I did wrong. I tried like more than 5 times during the Jam, didn't work for some reason. I uploaded the folder with the correct file and had selected play in browser while submission and all, but for some reason it wouldn't play, so then just got fed up and put it as downloadable file..... thanks for checking it out again :-)
I think you did everything right except you need to make it a .zip file instead of a .rar. Thanks for checking out my game!
did that too :-( but in the window, only the title shows up. No para, interactable line nothing.... just the title and the "made in Ink" line at the top left and the "save"," load", "theme" buttons at the top right. Exported directedly from Ink so maybe there's something I've to figure out. Thanks again.
This is just the beginning of a larger project, it seems? (No shade, mine is too.) I think there's some very interesting world building going on here and I'd be interested in seeing more of it. But I don't think just sitting us down and telling us the world-building is a very effective way to communicate it, and the dialogue isn't always very smooth. I'd like to see this world explored in a more active way.
Hi, Thank you for checking it out. It's the first time I'm trying my hand at Ink or an interactive fiction. Yes, I see your point, a more effective way of communicating would be in an active exploration style (tried yours, you seem to have things lined up and well written and presented too, with little snippets requiring interactions to continue rather than read a whole para, Noice !!!!). Had no planning or larger project in mind as such, just wanted to test myself in a jam and see if I can pull something off within the time limit on Ink. I'll try to bring a twist and get it more like explorative and "on-the-job" world building like you said. Thanks again for the thought.
