No, not at all. Of course I would have loved to play more but what you've made so far is really good! So if you develop it further, it will be my pleasure to continue my playthrough!
THAT WAS SO SO COOL! The graphics are super well made and the animations of the main character are awesome! That was a nice trip down memory lane, really nostalgic!
I'm honored to be one of your loyal knights, ô great Pancake King🙇♂️
Aww, thank you so much😊
Yeay🐔🧠! No I think it was pretty nice the way you approached it, subtle but cool for those who played the prequel to see the connection between the two games! If my little chicken brain was able to figure it out, don't worry it was clear enough😋 It was the dialogue with the mom that tipped me off. And this game is definitely full of charm and I think you've used the assets in a very creative way, like the miniatures (I have to agree with Barry, so cute)!!
I totally agree with you on that. I love subtility and environmental storytelling in games but I don't really mind if the story is never explained at all at the end, now that I think about it a lot of the games I enjoyed the most have cryptic stories😁 And yeah I also feel the same as you about too much exposition/explanation, sometime less is more! So I think I would say I prefer ambiguity but I also like a good balance of the two! I also admire games that try to tell a story without any words or dialogue.
Thank you for this game, I needed those good "vibes" today, as the kids say👴
I wasn't epecting a sequel to Barry's Bountiful but I was pleasantly surprised, it was super cute (the sword and shield were such a nice touch and liked all the emojis, didn't know barrels were so expressive!)! A great introduction to an epic RPG!!
EDIT: Strangely, I don't seems to be able to rate this game, maybe because of the jam? Well, take your stars anyway ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
It's cool, last time we spoke you said you were feeling uninspired so I'm glad you're back in business and with 3 games! Mmmmh, does that mean the RPG in a Box game is for the unoriginal jam?🤔
We'll see, I have to brainstorm for a simple idea, can you lend me your big brain for a bit?
Wow, you're hard at work I see, that's awesome! Ooouh, an RinB game?! I'm super intrigued! I really like the theme of the "unoriginal" game jam.
Thanks! No need, you're right, you already convinced me... and stop being right! I'll try to make something super simple, I don't promise anything but I'll try my best to submit a thing😁
Hiiiiiii! I'm super hot but everything's fine, what about you?
Nice, I wonder what delicious games you've been cooking this month, count me in to play them all👨🍳! I'm curious, what the jams you participate in? l I guess one of them is Ash's BAKIN jam😀
Well, I set out on a quest to learn Godot, I hope to upload experimentations on itch.io to to keep track of my progress. And since I can't multitask, I had to put my BAKIN Jam project on hold... so I don't think I will be able to participate😥
Oh you still have it? That's so cool, you're a good tamagotchi father👨👦💩! Haha, yes me too, no more unfinished games😎
That's a cute idea actually, could be fun but I don't know how hard it would be to make it in BAKIN. Me too, my friend, me too... lazyness is a curse👺! Your pixel art style looks really nice to me in The Stranger Fables of Fantasy Heroes and Aqua's Pizza Party Disaster - and don't say that its just RTP edits or what not, they are super charming and well made!
Hey hey don't say that, I'm just gonna repeat what you just said to me: "We've still got time for now, so there's no need to rush". Maybe just launch BAKIN and play with it a bit without thinking of the jam, doing random stuff that goes through your mind, it could spark some unexpected ideas. Or I could also take out my virtual whip to stop your from procrastinating😈
Yes you're right, it's part of life I guess! And yes, thank you very much🤗
Haha, would love to see that! I'm curious, were you also addicted to these cute little creatures that pooped everywhere? Maybe you just waiting for the right time to make your pancake magnum opus? Haha, that would be so cool to make games just by imagining them, the process would be simpler, and maybe a bit more chaotic 😎
Oh yes, a game with a dog mini game is a 10/10, the rest of the game is just a bonus🐶 That's the problem with 3D models, it's harder to personalize or to add animations compared to pixel art for example (not that I'm good at pixel art).
Not really, I experimented a bit with the engine, ideas and stuff (and maybe reducing the scope I had in mind😁) but nothing too serious right now. How about you, are the ideas flowing?
Oops sorry for the wait, I had a pretty stressful weeks, hope you haven't been staring at the screens all this time, impatiently waiting for my reply🙃
Hey why not, haha, or a pancake tamagotchi-like where you take care of your own pancake🥞🥰 So much you can do with just pancakes, the possibilities are just endless!!
No problem, it was my pleasure to play it, and I was able to pet a dog (he's such a good boi)!
Ouh that's quite a bit actually, definitely a pro BAKIN baker in my eyes👏! Even more so that BAKIN feels, to me at least, a bit more complex than other similar engines. I'm sure the inspiration will come to you! I'm happy that you approve of my side quest, ô great Jason, the one and only pancake lord🙏🥞 And yes that would be cool, maybe even just a small easter egg!
MLDA was pretty great, I really enjoyed the exploration and the surreal elements!
Haha yes you're right, and I'm not going to complain😋
(I really liked it, I wonder what you'll do with this concept! Loved exploring the maps (I think I explored everything), almost felt like I was exploring a dream, surreal and sometimes a bit disturbing. It reminded me of Yume Nikki! Also really liked the character models and the environment! That was a great experience!👍)
Aww thank you🤗 Well, I met a few before but never had time to chat with them because I ate them too quickly... 👀 Yeeah, we're not usually too talkative!
Not too much actually, I did use it a bit when it came out but never made anything concrete with it (and it was mostly just mapping) so the eventing, the layout and camera tools are pretty new to me. How about you, are you a pro baker? And yes, same! Do you already have an idea for your game? Personnally I think I'm gonna keep things really simple for this one and make an RPG inspired by the first dragon quest/warrior (and it might include a side quest about finding a pancake recipe but shhh...🤫).
Ooh you have me even more interested about playing MLDA now, might try it today actually and gave you my really detailled and professionnal review afterward! The premise alone sounds really cool! Can't wait to see what other delicious games you'll create and to see how you'll improve your skills along the way👍
Haha, that's pretty sweet😘 I also really enjoy it when we chat!
Awesome that you're gonna participate to AmalgamAsh next game jam, and yes I've also joined it, hoping to submit something😁 Just hammer that creative block, show it who's the boss!
Great news concerning Someone Stole My PC, it was a really charming entry! Ooh, I haven't played Mort's Last Day Alive yet but if it's among your favorites, it must be good, I might try it soon then!
Great game, short and sweet as always, easy to understand even without any text! Liked the cute little interactions with the environment and the last sequence👍
Oh you're working on a jam game? Nice, what is the theme? Yeah focus on that and just let your ideas florish for this games, maybe you'll go back to it like you did before, and each new small update will bring you closer to completion!
No need to thanks me, I really enjoy what you do and talking to you from time to time is super nice, so if my encouragment can help you even a little, I'm happy😁. It definitely can be tricky, haha! How many of my projects never saw the light of day? Too many to count🙃
Oh, I'm sorry to hear that but a lack of inspiration/motivation happens to the best 😉
I'm not an expert, far from it, but perhaps during your break, try to take a good old sheet of paper and categorize and visualize your ideas (characters, important places...) and write a beginning, the main events and an ending, just a line or two to get a idea of how the game will unfolds. it might help you to work on something other than a computer.
I can definitely understand that! Yes I'm sure it must demand a lot of dedication, experimentation and die&retry to progress in this game but I'm sure you can do it, I have faith in you💪. Also I'm sure that even in Kenshi's cruel world, no one would want to hurt a pancake!
Haha, but it's not our fault, I blame time itself! When you're bored, time goes in slowmotion but when you do something you like or you're invested in... it just fly by, that's not fair in my book😫
I think I watched an Obscure playthough a long time ago, it has coop right? Yes, Kenshi does looks like a really in-depth game, but it must be super satisfying when you finally understand how it work and finally manage to progress without dying horribly.
Yeah it was around that time👀 But when I saw that you'd replied, I really wanted to reply back before falling asleep haha...
For Quest Master, there is a demo available if you ever want to test it out, the devs also annonced a complete overworld/campaign editor as an update after the full version is released, really hyped about that. Yes games with level editor are awesome, and they are even better when they are fun and easy to use, almost feeling like a game in itself🤩
I haven't played either one but I heard a lot of good things about Kenshi, even though it seems really unforgiving💀 Well, it happens, but one day, out of the blue, they'll maybe become you're new addiction!
Its going alright I guess but it's harder than I thought haha! Can't help myself but to brainstorm ideas for my next project😛
Well I bought Quest Master which just came out a few days ago in early access on Steam, its like a Mario Maker but for creating Zelda type dungeons. Pretty fun, love the art style and the music! Also recently played through Minami Lane, my god this game is so cute! What about you, any cool games or suggestions?
Congratulations on reaching v0.1 (I'm a bit late but hey)🎉. Super happy to see this game growing one update after another!
I'm in love with your pixel art work, the castle looks so good and colorful, the tiles have a retro feels to them that I find really charming! On top of that, the new queen looks GORGOUS and really charismatic, I like her already😁 I don't know if this was intentionnal or not but the guard saying "Being a royal guard is really boring" still have the interaction with the previous queen.
One of the new companions seems strangely familiar🤔 Thanks for that easter egg, it was super cute!
Love these small updates, its like an advent calendar where each day I get a surprise (speaking of christmas, thanks santa for the items!)🎅
The pixel art looks great and I like the fact that I can beat up bandits in the camp are you going to try to make simple a custom battle system like a bump system?
