hey! this game looks awesome so far and im excited to play it, but: the text on the store page is pretty hard to read :( it's stylish, but having the background for the text be slightly transparent and having some of the background objects be the same color made me have to highlight the text to be able to read most of it, plus the font makes it a little difficult as well. im worried people who are dyslexic or who have worse eye strain issues than i do might have a lot more difficulty!!
I understand both sides on this! I think that next time, we could have a compromise of allowing a week of grace period to do bug/accessibility fixes, then not being allowed to touch it until the end of judging. Then, after judging, we'd be allowed to do as many bugfixes/translations/accessibility updates as we want.
This is just my take though, and I made a very programming-lite game, and this is my first gamejam, so take my words with a grain of salt aha. I hope we get to do another jam next year!
MOSQUITO HIGHWAY USA is an interactive fiction story made in twine developed for the 2021 VAMPIREJAM! (vampire the masquerade knowledge not required to enjoy)
"You're a young, nerdy individual, and before tonight, you were human. After escaping from a mass vampire turning event, you are given a deal by the Sheriff of the local vampire government:
Help him defend a truck stop blood farm from a prophesized attack, and he will help find you a place in vampire society.
With five endings, over 28k words, and a romance option, MOSQUITO HIGHWAY USA is a highly-interactive story about a bunch of angsty queer vampires trying to get along."
I enjoy reading a lot of the comments people leave on other games, so: reply and talk about some games you loved from this jam! talk about interpretations you have for their stories, share thoughts you have about their characters, discuss what games you felt had really good gameplay, make suggestions about what games you feel like are a must-download from this jam, etc. What games really grabbed you?
Tell me bugs you face here! This entails being stuck in loops or soft-locking out of endings, formatting errors (like the wrong text color for character dialogue), etc!
KNOWN BUGS:
IF IMAGES ARE NOT LOADING FOR YOU: make sure you extracted the file. Sometimes you may have to reload the game. If that doesn't work, try playing on a different browser, as this issue is a browser problem, not a twine problem (from what i've read). if these things don't work, loading the images in the folders by literally clicking them, for some reason, forces them to load. Worst comes to worst, this game is playable without images, as all images are, essentially, accents that are not required to understand the story.
This is my first completed twine game, and i had a very small timeframe to work within, so apologies for any rookie mistakes.
"LESBIANISM. GENDER. CARS. CATGIRLS.
The yearly METRORODEO, a race consisting of hundreds of cars situated miles into the air on a massive superhighway, has begun. Bead, a cyberpunk catgirl driver, must defeat countless rivals so that her and her partner, a robotic car named Pony, can become champions.
Many other partnerships between flesh and robotics exist on the superhighway, but there is one thing that separates Bead and Pony from the rest.
While others may be partnerships built from utility and a desire to win, Bead and Pony are different.
They are wives."
PONY:PILOT is a 17+ pilot for what I intend to make into a serialized cyberpunk story about car wives and technology. Are you ready to travel to Rock Opera and win the race for your cat girl wife?
