BEST GAME 2015! VOTING THE SECOND I SUBMIT AN ENTRY!!! <33

thejackimonster 2015-12-13 21:13

Interesting idea.. but these answers are kind of disturbing.. o.O

rogod 2015-12-14 00:15

What was that?
That's more of a curious art project than a game...
Also could use some work on the wording/spelling. :(

skywilly 2015-12-14 00:30

Good visual idea !

alexiseshford 2015-12-14 00:42

I dunno why, but this game feels like a bad horror film.

gmisail 2015-12-14 00:51

Interesting idea, however I agree with Rogod when he said this is more of a curious art project

ciobeni 2015-12-14 00:52

A few minutes staring at that face has made me feel a little weird. But wow! I just loved this experience.

broivula 2015-12-14 00:59

Cool idea! Really liked the sculpting! Made it to 19, then died of an infection.

Nice lighting, too. Made the sculpture really stand out.

captainnakou 2015-12-14 01:19

That was... disturbing in a lot of way.
I liked it.

bjarnovikus 2015-12-14 01:37

That was weird. I like it, but dislike it at the same time. The concept is great, but I'm not a big fan of pressing buttons on the keyboard. Graphic style is ok, but text looks really default.

flygamer101 2015-12-14 02:07

Pretty cool with a nice idea. The model was really scary xD. Cant you help me with Exporting Unity games to web?

5you 2015-12-14 02:08

Damn! It's hard not to die, unless you want the most boring life ever.

Nice depressing yet fun game.

andrew-2 2015-12-14 02:13

Is there any way to avoid the war scenario?

insertnamehere 2015-12-14 02:23

You should rename this to "are youcreepedoutbytheguymadeofclay yet?"

trexmix 2015-12-14 02:26

WOW! Interactive and fun. Very interesting sir.

gironc 2015-12-14 02:33

That was disturbing...
I LOVE IT!

karlipoppins 2015-12-14 02:50

Well that was quite unique! :) God do I hate growing old lol
Great job!

irwatts 2015-12-14 02:53

This felt like an interactive short film. Well done!

kortuga98 2015-12-14 03:07

Jeeeeez, I don't wanna die of cancer...

"But you die."

Ah okay fine.

svenfrankson 2015-12-14 03:09

Have to admit it's quite unique ^^

nystical 2015-12-14 03:11

Interesting, also slightly creepy

allwoodgamedev 2015-12-14 03:16

Not really a game...

eerongal 2015-12-14 03:26

Interesting game...Not entirely sure what to make of it, to be honest!

mestrerothwp 2015-12-14 03:38

Great idea. How did you make the graphics? Photos?

gallerdude 2015-12-14 03:44

Interesting idea, but doesn't feel fleshed out.

bushmango3 2015-12-14 03:44

Consensus here is that it's super cool. How did you make the images? Actual pictures of a clay model?

mauludder 2015-12-14 03:45

Pace too slow.

pixel-jolt 2015-12-14 04:17

are you old enough to not be a creepy clay man ?? NOOO!!!!

rantt 2015-12-14 04:23

Interesting idea, and also kinda creepy. Nicely done!

graceavery 2015-12-14 04:42

Interesting! Very unsettling

candlesan 2015-12-14 04:59

Great work for only 5 hours!

fishbrain 2015-12-14 05:50

Nice nihilistic noir :)

floppya 2015-12-14 05:56

Cool idea. I like the clay figure; real creepy. Also, good job covering both themes. I feel like I would've enjoyed it more if it were a little faster.

splittydev 2015-12-14 06:09

That's my life in a nutshell. Awesome content :)

parias001 2015-12-14 08:46

Well, this is something. It's really great, I liked the atmosphere, simple and direct!

rfdshir 2015-12-14 08:55

Thanks guys! I really expected more harsh comments) I'm glad many of you liked it. Overall, your perception matches what I wanted to do - a little uncomfortable not-game about the meaning of life... In a way)
I apologize if the text looks ugly - I'm not good at English, this is largely a Google-translation.
Answering the questions - yes, graphics made from photos of plasticine model.

cyranh 2015-12-14 09:55

This is just great. Innovative game with funny questions and results. I laughed when I played the game for the first time and died when using drugs. I did not see that coming.

Audio is pretty annoying, would be better without it.

pierrec 2015-12-14 10:30

a great idea!

tensoplast01 2015-12-14 10:44

Nice concept, maybe one of the best

genusnymphicus 2015-12-14 11:22

Wow, that was quite the experience. The head is giving me nightmares man. Thank you for this strange trip. Great work!

felilix 2015-12-14 12:03

Wow that's pretty experimental! I said no to everything and lived to the leathery old 86 yrs old kicking the bucket.

shadedvertex 2015-12-14 12:09

This game is excellent! The events that occur are really realistic and sometimes hilariously so. Pat yourself on the shoulder, yo!

kirilllosev 2015-12-14 12:48

well done :D

silvio 2015-12-14 12:50

nice idea. slow pace though.
Its known that noses never stop growing but this is hilarious.

divineomega 2015-12-14 13:07

Disturbing and creepy. I like it.

Quite an experimental idea.

andarilhoz 2015-12-14 13:13

Weird, even more the end, and its a little weird having sex before kiss, lol

thembi 2015-12-14 13:15

85 is too young to die!

argowen 2015-12-14 13:41

regardless of whether I wanted to go to war I went to war and died. Would die again.

secularbaron 2015-12-14 13:49

Cool use of clay graphic. I died of drugs.

pjimmy 2015-12-14 13:50

nice, very interesting and moody, good replayability because you want to know all possible combinations. Well done

tsundown 2015-12-14 14:53

Could have been a lot more promising with more polish, more choices (more impactful ones), faster aging, music and better sounds. Great concept and has that potential to become a unique game

anael 2015-12-14 15:43

that was an interesting experience, thanks

iovorobiev 2015-12-14 15:45

Is there only one question that I need to answer yes?:)

jacobturn 2015-12-14 16:17

GREAT,AMAZING,CREEPY,BEST GAME IN SECONDS

bobismijnnaam 2015-12-14 16:36

The mood was kinda disturbing, which I liked. The sound was maybe a bit irritating. Overall an interesting idea, but it needs an element to speed it up a bit.

2015-12-14 16:38

A bit slow but still fun

studiosaurus 2015-12-14 17:00

Great game! Very dark, which is nice to see.

fistmaker 2015-12-14 17:59

Interesting take on the theme! The bong sound as the age increased started to give me the creeps. But good for you for making something different! Not what I was expecting at all. I like that it's a little different every time. Made it to my mid 80's. I wasn't grown enough to die, but I did anyway.

chewie 2015-12-14 18:05

Visuals are interesting, but game lacks some flow and timing between the question/answer/next question.

sadsmile 2015-12-14 18:22

Well, nice experience but not really a "game" ^^

littlethor 2015-12-14 18:37

What the hell did I just played?!
Awesome idea and modeling! Not sure what to think about the "gamplay", but very it's a neat concept!

zanthia 2015-12-14 19:11

Seeing the age increasing is so dreadful ! I like the evolution of the character.

dracolizardstudios 2015-12-14 19:14

Nice, this is a funny one and interesting to play.

tijn 2015-12-14 19:18

Quite interesting artsy interactive thing. I like these sort of things, even though the "fun" is maybe a bit lacking.

The clay heads look very good. Cool idea!

batmanasb 2015-12-14 22:42

This game is being rude to me...

acerio 2015-12-15 03:32

Loved this game and shared it with a bunch of friends. I played this game yesterday and couldn't wait to vote today.

kunonooni 2015-12-15 04:44

So my first play through I got to age 71 then died of old age alone, never drank, smoked, kissed, had sex or got married nor did I have a job.

My second playthrough I tried drugs, got married and died from cancer at age 35. WTF! LOL!

This is a very original game with a much deeper meaning. I don't know if you intended for that but I do applaud you for making it.

I can agree with some of the other feed back about the spelling also there is a question that says "Print Y or N". sorry I can't remember which question it was.

caryoscelus 2015-12-15 11:28

Using unity for this? *Triple facepalm*

Otherwise, it's kind of interesting for something made in 5 hours.

mistakoo 2015-12-15 11:38

Most of the questions follow the format "Do you want the good thing?" That isn't an interesting choice to make.

rfdshir 2015-12-15 14:38

Well, thanks a lot for all comments and opinions! You are awesome, guys ^_^
It's really interesting to read the feedback. I glad that my little experiment became successful in your eyes (as far as I can tell), despite all the flaws. I think i'll make a remake soon, just have to find a good translator to English)

trexmix 2015-12-15 15:40

Thought this game was actually kinda funny just because of it's arbitrary nature and grammar errors. Certainly an interesting idea with a little more visual feedback.

local306 2015-12-15 16:27

Cool concept of aging. I wish I could advance the years myself rather than having to wait through it though...

elenesski 2015-12-15 19:22

I found the thing to be rather sad. People are far more resilient than a Yes/No question system.

recursor 2015-12-15 19:53

I really like how the clay figure changes or 'grows', but I don't feel there is much replay-ability to be had once you have gone through it once. It feels more like an art project than a game, but there's nothing wrong with that.

david-cookie 2015-12-16 14:00

A good idea! And gotta love the evolution of your sculpture :) Perfectly fits both theme!

suaave 2015-12-16 16:00

Interesting approach to the theme. I like your clay sculpting and enjoyed trying out the different outcomes.

drtizzle 2015-12-16 16:22

This is creepy AF!
It creates a dark, brooding mood, which really works well. While this not might be a traditional game, it moves people so I guess it's a succes! :)

Well done!

ohmaigawd 2015-12-17 17:05

I liked the sculpture and its aging a lot! Text and audio could use some work though.

split82 2015-12-17 17:24

Really moody stuff in here :)

blurryroots 2015-12-17 22:18

Very cool clay graphics. Interesting questions. I died in war :/

mrshoestore 2015-12-19 00:24

It was the most different game I have played and it did have interesting responses, but there was a bit of a creepy aspect to it. I am a little worried if I don't keep showing this game to people the Clay Man will come after me...and as long as they play and complete the game my life will be spared... Anybody? Anybody else feel that way??? lol

rfdshir 2015-12-19 00:55

@SHLFStudios, )))))))

kmakai 2015-12-19 14:56

Very interesting, I love the choice of sculpture as the medium for your graphics and how expressive you made the head/face as it ages. It would be interesting to see some variation in that depending on the choices you make, though I can see that becoming difficult very quickly. I found this both depressing and uplifting -- which I'm guessing was intentional. So for that, awesome job!

ethanwebster 2015-12-19 15:28

Really funny game haha

dejvo 2015-12-19 15:34

awesome game. loved the clay and the cheeky humor (or was it not humor? )

farelle 2015-12-19 17:01

I have to say that I wasn't so happy about some of the answers. But maybe it was meant to be provocative, didn't leave me with a good feeling though :o

adreqi 2015-12-19 17:26

Died before 40 on first try, got to 87 on second try. Sums up quite well the randomness of life x)

This game is pretty disturbing.

lereveur 2015-12-19 23:14

An entire life directed by only two buttons. Nice idea. A simple, slow and interesting game, not bad for a 5 hours making. :)

loxo 2015-12-20 19:25

Interesting idea. The years between the questions makes you think about life and choices you made. Would be great if the model were more complex i.e. with hair and I would like to see a few stop motion animations.

local-minimum 2015-12-21 18:23

Great graphics and an original take on the theme. I didn't manage to tease out if there was sort of better or worse paths through the game, which I think, for the purpose of the effect the game tries to evoke was nice. I didn't much care for the audio. The sound of a clock could have been a simple replacement. More interestingly to have sparse sounds from the different stages of life as one progresses through. The game, true or not, kind of teaches you to say no to certain questions about death and I liked the twist that one of them gave. But it would also be nice to play that twist the other way around. As for the questions. Graphically, I think another font would have suited better. To fit the style better. To me too, life isn't all or sometimes not even much about the types of questions your game poses, but much more trivial and mundane questions. It would have been nice to have these in too. I liked the entry, good job.

radnap 2015-12-22 16:04

I found it creepy and disturbing. Didn't play until the end (if there is one?) but couldn't see the purpose or the message behind it all. Kind of disliked it but must confess the clay idea is pretty good and could render well.

2015-12-23 16:18

It was original, that's for sure. With slightly more work this could be very good. The questions need to be updated or clarified (and new should be added) and the visuals and the sound could've been enhanced. Otherwise, nice work!
