There obviously isn't much action but this is a great entry. It looks splendid, the dialog is great, and the story is already deep and matches the theme. I would love to see this made into more. The only suggestion I would have would be a more obvious foreground/background. It took me a few sudden deaths before I realized the green blocks were not in the background.
Sooooooo much polish but so little game. Do you think you'll be going back to this one at some point? Really love the visuals.
This looks like a much bigger project than can be completed in 2 or 3 days. Good visuals and detailed story. Good effort!
Great writing and a really cool concept for a game. The gameplay (or what there is of it) seems like it could be really fun as well.
Nice, pity it's that short :)
if you want to tell a good story in a game, you should try and tell it through the mechanics and the gameplay. If all you have is dialogue boxes, you'd be better off writing a short story on paper.
That was really interesting. A bunch of spelling mistakes in the dialogue, which is a bad idea in a dialogue-heavy game, but interesting nonetheless. Would have enjoyed more game, but it got me interested, maybe a post-compo version?
MOAR
Oh yeah but totes sweet. Make an episodic LD game! :-D
Im not a fan of large amounts of text but this was well executed and had outstanding graphics and sound. I was really hoping for more action especially after all the reading but still solid entry.
The story is very promising, and just as others have said, more would be better. I do hope you pursue this after the compo since it has potential, also kudos on the art. It is very nice
That was so cooool *o*. I loved it.
Super polished entry! Great graphics and sounds. Good gameplay too(even if just a little)Too bad it's just a fraction of what you intended to make.
Dialogue-heavy games are very hard to do; bravo on attempting it : ) I like this and I wish it were longer!
visually and thematically this game is fantastic, especially considering the game was made within the time limit. This game is polished in every way. While the gameplay might be a bit lacking, the artwork and tone really hold the rest of the weight. Also I'm a big fan of the 8-bit actors, reminds me of an old Sega CD game.
Very interesting game ! I know it thanks to this article on a french website http://oujevipo.fr/10-minutes/1046-deep-life Congratulations !
Interesting game.
Firstly: I appreciate that you put the warning about it being dialogue heavy at the start! From the screenshots I was expecting an action heavy game, but the warning got me into the right frame of mind so I could enjoy the story rather than wait for the action to happen!
Though the whole thing felt rather condensed I did enjoy the little story, the choice and morals based around the rights of sentient AI is always interesting, especially as it's something we may have to deal with in our own life times. You made good use of the theme, the graphics were lovely (per usual) and the music fitted well to help build the atmosphere.
Nice work, it was an overall enjoyable experience!
The graphics are outstanding :-) I like the submarine controls, although I got killed three times before understanding it's sensitive stuff! Good job!
I really liked the idea of the full dialogue leading into the action. I felt the 2 styles worked well together and it looked great. Like a few of the other comments on here I'd like to see this developed into a full game. Nice work.
This screams to be updated! PLEASE ;)
Wow this felt very professional, its just unfortunate that it was so short. Good job, well done!
The dialog just feels right, you can read at your own pace, the dialog box looks good, the game looks good, I would like to know more about what happens next. Good!
Very cool project; suspension of disbelief obtained. :)
The mood was lovely, graphics worked well, and audio helped things along. I'm not sure I'd want more gameplay per se, actually, but maybe if it didn't look/feel like a shooter, it'd be easier to handle. If it were an adventure game or something, there wouldn't be as much of a problem. In any case, I enjoyed it.
Man, wish there was "Story" category there that I could slap five stars into - had a real Blade Runner feel to it. And the art is incredible - any chance you're turning this into something bigger?
great entry. plot is brilliant, best I've seen so far(shame, but did not see that the girl is AI). dialogue box system looks awesome, good job man.
Nice story and virtual actors, I like the game also.
Beautiful game and very interesting dialog. Wish there was a bit more gameplay but a really nice and polished entry :)
The art for this entry is absolutely spendid!
I wish there's more. But was nicely done. Good job!
top-notch graphics! you could really make a grat post-compo game out of this :)
