Hey thanks for playing!
Yeah the games basically fallout new vegas factions but set in the 2020 election (this game was made in the summer of 2020 so politics was kinda inescapable). I’ve noted it before but I personally think even though it’s very exaggerated and comical, the satirical angle and referential humour aged poorly in the sense that a lot of it is rather obtuse and confusing.
Originally the AI was going to work have a small stamina bar too, so both the player and enemies would be falling over constantly. I based the idea off my first experience with morrowind where I kept getting knocked down lol. So I’m happy someone else found it funny!
Oh the UI is absolute garbage, it was my first attempt at an inventory system beyond a simple DOOM style “do you have weapon 3 or not?” system. I like to think I improved since with my later projects lol.
Yeah the tooltip wasn’t set to close when you close the inventory screen. It’s a known bug, but since this game is basically just an extended jam game with a shaky foundation I don’t plan to update any further except in the case of players getting hard locked or the game doesn’t start. I actually only updated it again because I realized one of the endings was blocked when I was recording a playthrough of it.
I wasn’t directly inspired by kings quest, but I did intentionally make it very sarcastic and dumb. There’s no shortage of spelling errors as well I’m sure. This was made for the “So Bad It’s Good” game jam in 2020 so I think that part fit the bill pretty well.
Thanks again for trying it out and leaving feedback!
