td1801 2014-04-27 15:04

Can we win ? x)
It's fun :p

kulomin 2014-04-27 17:39

Wow this game is sooo well made...and its hilarious! Rofl'd so hard!

elforama 2014-04-28 02:34

This game is so true! Nice job. Although it seems if I have more then one key pressed it won't register the other clicks.

jacob-peltola 2014-04-28 02:37

The sad truth.

clinthoney 2014-04-28 02:37

Almost like Game Dev Tycoon but really quick and fun.

minism 2014-04-28 02:40

6/5 humor. But now I'm depressed.

nicom 2014-04-28 02:55

Strangely brilliant....and depressing....I loved it

thein 2014-04-28 03:54

Haha I expected there to be a happy ending. Nope.

pete_h 2014-04-28 04:05

WoW depressing! No happy ending for you!!

korwegian 2014-04-28 04:08

I know dat feel

neonlare 2014-04-28 04:12

Well, this is pretty damn depressing... But as a dev I definitely know how this feels :<.

deathray 2014-04-28 04:25

This comments sums it up for me too: "6/5 humor. But now I'm depressed." Depressing, funny, and I'm sure most of us can relate!

terraco 2014-04-28 04:42

It is a nice commentary of people trying to make games at home. Couldn't find the button that told the character to go to Amazon and buy some books to read though.

eteeski 2014-04-28 04:43

awww poor developer :( haha clever game though :)

idkfawin32 2014-04-28 05:24

Touches the heart

endesga 2014-04-28 05:37

nice game :D

mark-feaver 2014-04-28 05:44

Fantastic game (not sure if it's a game?). Very well done

shyupuff 2014-04-28 05:52

Very true look at game development and kind of depressing since I'm sure all of us here want to do it haha (since we're doing it right now). The clicking to load the game was really the only manner or interaction which is kind of a drag. Cool game though (:

spotco 2014-04-28 05:52

10/10 I CRY ERRYTIME

Would be even better if there was a ``good'' ending if you chose to make all of your games in java or something (and become the next minecraft)

thristhart 2014-04-28 06:19

What an extremely annoying input method. As others said, a sad truth, but I was more annoyed at the game by the end than sympathizing.

slader16 2014-04-28 06:25

Man, now I'm depressed!

kulomin 2014-04-28 06:59

This game was amazing to play and soooo true!

honcho 2014-04-28 06:59

EXCELLENT GAME!

Overall this game really played with my emotions. I was deeply immersed. Life was brilliantly captured in the simple mechanics related to the process of game development specific to a pessimistic perspective. I experienced joy, frustration, and sadness. Great ending to this emotional journey.

Loved it.

paperblurt 2014-04-28 07:19

Yes!

I love meta games, and this Paper Mario like style is nice!

Good job!

techblogogy 2014-04-28 07:38

If there's an LD game great humor than this is the one!

iamspencer 2014-04-28 08:21

As a Player: I'm amused and laughed.
As a Game Dev: I'm depressed and scared...
So... good job! lol

tacs 2014-04-28 09:57

Oh dear, now I am sad.

dylanwolf 2014-04-28 17:25

Funny and relatable, although honestly, I think most people who get into a hobby like this handle this sort of disappointment differently.

weaselzone 2014-04-28 19:16

Was hoping for a less depressing ending. Enjoyed it though!

airwaffle 2014-04-28 19:19

Never felt either the hopefulness or disappointment of the character, relating to making video games, of course, but I believe I can understand how this will probably happen to a lot of people. Nice fun experience!

tinykidtoo 2014-04-28 20:38

exactly how I feel sometimes

dylanigan 2014-04-28 20:39

Such a let down at the end. :(

pawegio 2014-04-28 21:45

:D add libGDX

danidre14 2014-04-29 06:07

Started off good but then slowly became boring.

Magnus 2014-04-29 06:09

10/10 would not download

lost-king 2014-04-29 06:33

The realism in this is unparalleled! Truly a feat of the ages!

secret_tunnel 2014-04-29 07:26

Dang.

lars-faust 2014-04-29 11:25

That guy looks like a fucking douchebag.

7/10 get a new haircut.

cirrial 2014-04-29 16:21

I like the struggle to make games getting harder and harder reflecting the developer's will slowly breaking.

nition 2014-04-29 21:46

:(

dmcfarline 2014-04-29 21:47

If this was based on me 90% of the game creation minigames would fail and I would start again :P great entry though!

josefnpat 2014-04-29 23:25

The unity web player does not play on linux, and the windows one would not render text in wine. Can you please release a linux binary?

moosefly 2014-04-30 19:04

Interesting idea, but the gameplay was rather lacking. Should've used some voice synthesizer for voice overs akin to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lGar7KC6Wiw :P.

renegadeninjanl 2014-05-01 12:59

I had to play the Ludum Dare game that had a similar name to mine and I am glad I did. Good game. Sad ending though.

tomvert 2014-05-01 19:23

Well that was sad.

infectionteam 2014-05-04 01:50

Now I am sad XD

donovanwu 2014-05-04 01:52

So true ;_;

zerkruemler 2014-05-13 18:33

Oh my god. This is depressing!
