Very much like what I do on social media. I included it in my Ludum Dare 30 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look :) http://youtu.be/CHUuhEZvNWU

Quotes are so crazy, wish you added laughters in backgrounds like a lame '80 comic show. ;)

Lol, funny!

not really a game (some interaction with the characters will be fun) but really funny.

hoyt-hoy 2014-08-25 14:11

Nice joke ^^

So much LOLs, bun not a game. yet?

ludipe 2014-08-25 15:30

As many of you already said it isn't a game. It was going to be closer to a game but somewhere along the jam I got sidetracked.

I thought of thousands of features I had to discard because, you know, it's a jam. Like having some kind of conversation with the rest of chracters. What do you think? What would you like to add?

should I say "f*k it" now for this? :D very interesting idea mate, good job.

It looks to me more like social experiment, maybe to make us realize how much time we waste. But, to be honest - lately I saw too much fake images with 'funny' disputes via social news feeds to really appreciate this idea. Sorry :(

Hilarious to watch. I wish that somehow the interation did more, like some sort of multiple choice mundane comment system?
Great use of social integration too, but I'm not quite ready to post "Fuck the police (Spiderman) #socialsim via @Ludipe" to my twitter.
Good fun =)

Lol!

A very entertaining toy! And sadly, very realistic - a reminder of why it really is necessary to just go outside for awhile ;)

atomicvikings 2014-08-26 12:26

First time I have ever seen something like this. Let alone in a ludum dare. very well done! :D

As mentioned in the other comments, funny, but not really a game, still a nice idea and take on the theme.

Good job on entering the compo ;)

bluemaroo3 2014-08-26 19:04

Love the concept. Would really like to play it again if more interactive features where added. Like the twitter link :)

2014-08-28 16:13

Okay.... what about the theme though ?

mrexcessive 2014-08-28 17:28

Hi there. Good target to aim for... Fun simulation. Good job!

ludipe 2014-08-28 19:19

As most people said it's lacking interaction, that's something I wanted to add from the begining, but I run out of time. I couln't work on Monday, so I didn't have the chance to turn this into a jam a entry.

@Eomir: It was going to be a social network which connected several universes(real world, pokemon, etc) but I run out of time to explain evertything and implement features.

rd127p77 2014-08-28 19:28

Funny. Not A Game Though.

esayitch 2014-08-28 20:47

Funny non-game with a heartwarming message of going outside. At least that's what I got from it.

crocantidepollo 2014-08-28 23:07

Nice little parody of the social networks, sadly quite realistic. Nice touch linking to the real world via twitter. I'm Morgan Freeman.

sk16games 2014-08-30 01:35

Hahaha very fun Facebook Sim ;D A little more interactivity AKA game-like features would be nice though... +5 in humor ;D

oddly-shaped-pixels 2014-08-30 06:15

Funniest entry I've played!!

klianc09 2014-08-30 19:07

Damn, a pity you didn't get to implement some interactivity... was actually looking forward to it.
Still, as it is, it's quite a funny game and/or social criticism^^
I liked to just set the activity feed to super fast, and then clicking on 'don't care' on every post as they scrolled by :D

"Hi I'm Morgan Freeman. And you're reading this in my voice" So true... #socialism
