Have you checked that your GDD is publicly accessible ?
Yes

Is your game set to public on itch.io so we can see it?
Yes

Summarise your game!
It's a Visual Novel You click on the screen to further along the text as you read it and select choices if/when they appear :>

The story is about a group of weapons gossiping at a teaparty.

Please explain how your game fits the theme:
Our interpretation of the theme was literal though the art uses the idea of Anthropomorphism for the characters mostly for the sake of aesthetics :>

Is there anything you'd like the judges to pay particular attention to?
Please if you have the time dont try to just speed read it, and actually absorb the story, sounds, and the art as those is the main draws of the medium

Jam Judge(+2)

We apologise for the late feedback:


This is the most literal interpretation of the theme I have seen yet: literal anthropomorphized weapons. What a neat idea for the jam! I really like the art theme as well as the choice to use pixel art for a visual novel. It felt like it took a bit too long to get to the first dialog choice, but the story is absolutely interesting. I would suggest that, when you fully implement the choice system, that the option to make a choice happens sooner in the story. I'm not sure if it  was intended, but the occassional glitching of the characters during certain lines was an interesting addition to the feeling of the lines at that point. The music is a little disjointed in theme, but it is understandably hard to find cohesive music for free use online that suits the theme you are going for. Unfortunately your master volume slider does not affect the music volume, and the song with the strings lacks audio balance compared to the other somgs (it is louder).

Aaaaa you left edit access on your GDD! You should lock it down to prevent people from messing with it. I like the way your GDD is laid out, and the great amount of detail you go into for each section. Listing the roles and info for each person on your team is something I love to see. More examples of how you intended to handle the UI and choices would be nice (even if just using a Ren'Py standard layout) along with a list of the art software used. Otherwise, very nicely done.

Thanks for entering the game jam, and I hope you all continue development on this game and publish it because it is really interesting! Look forward to seeing where  this goes!

omg the DRAMA! i loved the story, though i didn't realize i  was a guest until it was mentioned/ i was given the option to choose. i read your gdd, and there was i think supposed to be more choices, not sure if bug or if not enough time but i only got to do 1 option.

Haha yeah sadly in the end we could only put in one ending option in order to have it ready for our game jam submission.  Hope you enjoyed it though!
