I'm quite confussed on how to play the game but I love that it's entirely coded in python it looks amazing
I had no idea what was going on gameplay wise. But that made it kind of compelling for me. Felt like this cool endless loop of getting rejected. At one point I felt in character as after so much rejection I looped through the different areas without talking to anyone as I didn't want to get rejected anymore. But then after spawning in the room by myself I decided I had to pick myself back up and brave it and ask more people. Cool game.
I’m glad you enjoyed it! I can tell that, gameplay and story wise, you got the gist of it pretty well.
Hiiii I'm not a python master so I'm not sure how to open the game... :(
Hi there! You should be able to use the binaries on the download page as fine without needing to run Python.I’m assuming you may have downloaded the source code package instead. I highly recommend using the built binaries instead of using the source code for the game if you are not comfortable playing the game. On Windows, the executable is
NoLove.exe(the same is for Linux, sans the .exe part; for macOS, runNo Love.app.If you are deciding to run the game by download the source code, do the following:
pip3 install pipenv.cd. You’ll need to determine the path to there to type it in the terminal.pipenv installand then runpipenv run gameto run the game. You must be in the root folder of the game’s source code to make this work.I hope this helps.
Thank you so much for the help!!!! The game was really cool(:thumbs_up)... I would just like to ask you how you got your music to work on python because when ever I try and use the playsound function the music just repeats itself every second so you get this massive, desturbing echo effect that never ends... Could you help me out? :D
I never had the echo problem happen (maybe you’re playing your SFX in the music channel instead of its own sound channel?). You’re more than welcome to take a look at the source code on GitHub to see if that helps: https://github.com/alicerunsonfedora/pale-shelter (should also come bundled in the game under
src.Overall a fun game, just didn't understand how the main mechanic works. It felt like I could loose at any time when talking to a boy randomly. Impressive that you made this with python! The graphics was nice too! And I liked the music.
Thanks for the feedback! You’re right about the losing part since it’s completely random (though it should be less likely to lose, if I recall correctly). The idea I had in mind was “do I take a chance by talking to him, or do I not?”, kind of like Deal or No Deal; from your feedback, it appears I didn’t communicate that as well as I thought. If/when I make a future update, I’ll try to make that clearer in the main menu’s cheatsheets.
Wow! why is this game not rated more often?
Really like the visuals and a funny "story". :D A few bugs fixes and tweaks are needed, but I know pygame is a b**ch and for this little time, good job. You could add a generator that gives you clichee breakup lines to improve this.
really like the visuals, they feel really consistent.
Thanks! I did discover some “janky” bits towards the end of the jam and wanted to fix them, but I wanted to make sure I got a proper build out since distributing with PyInstaller was a massive pain. I’ll keep it in mind if/when I make a bug fix update after the jam!
