Awesome! Making an AI-assisted game for laughs was something I’ve wanted to do for awhile, but never got around to it.
The game’s strong point was definitely the exploration, like seeing all the weird crap lying around the world. Unfortunately, the constant random encounters made this really tedious, even with the instant-kill superweapon. In fact, they were so annoying that I actually went into the game code and disabled them after awhile so I could explore freely. That said, the AI-generated enemy sprites were pretty cool. (Yes, I’m one of the rare people who doesn’t freak out over AI created assets)
Now, I’m not sure if it’s a player error or a bug, but I’m stuck at 80% on the decryption and there’s nothing left to interact with. Trying to find this missing 20% was what actually prompted me to delete the random encounters–and even then I never found the last part. Oh well, was cool while it lasted.
So good job overall, but if you decide to touch it up, please reconsider the use or at least frequency of the random encounters. :)
