It's a bit mature for jam where anyone can join, but still decent. I really liked how the game looked

It was a little hard to distinguish myself from the rest of the crowd, but I loved the intoxicated, unhinged atmosphere.

The dance animations were surprisingly good for a gamejam. Lots of little details among the NPCs. The fullscreen effects were slick, too.

eriku 2017-12-04 03:36

Wow, really liking the vibe on this one. The graphics are top notch, nice job on those dance animations. With the down tempo beat and a strong adherence to the theme, this is a winner! Congrats on your first Ludum Dare - this is a great showing.

Good graphics but pretty boring

You did these animations yourself? If yes, it's cool.

tezza48 2017-12-04 04:49

@kurupapuru it's the compo, you have to do it all yourself

seanw 2017-12-04 04:50

Love the graphics! Maybe its just my setup but things get a little pixelated when I put it in fullscreen. Those animations are fantastic! Great first Ludum Dare! Congrats on finishing!

rocktavious 2017-12-04 04:57

Really great job for the compo with regards to art and sound!

kurupapuru 2017-12-04 07:28

@tezza48 thats is reason of my question, it looks too good)

kbjwes77 2017-12-04 08:50

Like the tone of the game, even though it's a little mature and dark. Cool submission, would like to see a fleshed out version of this!

Not my cup of coffee

generalvivi 2017-12-04 13:42

I like the style! Nice work! I would consider not using the slow motion as much.

r3l0ad1 2017-12-04 17:04

Nice Game, But its not my cup of tea

odrez 2017-12-04 18:21

Very well done. Love the graphics & audio. Everything about this is professionally executed, but if you enjoy this game or not depends on your taste.

mc-crash 2017-12-05 03:20

It is a little hard to find yourself at the beginig but beside that it is a solid game.

fiakaiera 2017-12-05 14:09

Everything about this is professionally executed. The sad part it's kongregate. Those ads made me a bit sad. I don't have time to download everything so I had to compromise.

* It's wonderful how you implemented the mechanics for the game, but that's not really suprising as I know drunkedness is gonna be a common theme. The music slowing down and pixelation also fits. You did give it a strategic thought and even gave advice to attack the lonely people. Good call. * Every character that is not the main character is the main character's clones. That's one problem. They don't stand out from the crowd. I actually thought I was not controlling something at first until I find them. However, the atmosphere is great it gets your theme across. * The slow motion is cool but it does get tiring after a few drinks. I say make it shorter the more drinks you have. Then again you need a breather from all of that beating up. * Surprisingly, it does get boring after awhile. There's not much satisfaction from what you're doing despite how lovely it looks. * Still, that's kind of sad to see you placed it on kongregate. I mean to passively earn money, sure. Though itch gives you a better place for a portfolio of games you made and I think a lot of people prefer that, to be honest. Also, you don't need that quit button in HTML5. * You're not getting away from me seeing Gangnam Style in there.

I actually can't say much but good work. Impressive what you did there in 48 hours. Beautiful, but could be a lot better. You just need to find that perfect balance. I still recommend this for the atmosphere.

@fiakaiera, thank you for your feedback, it is very helpful! I should've taken a bit more time to polishing visuals/making some unique characters and a better fighting mechanics to keep the game fun but oh well.. I'll do better next LD!

As to hosting of my HTML5 version, I was in a huge rush during the submission process and simply couldn't get itch to properly host my game (or maybe I'm just stupid). I don't have Kongregate profile set up and it's not like I'd get any money from 20 ad views on my LD game ;p I'll look into itch again and try to get it to work now!

[Okay, I figured out why itch wasn't working, I'm changing HTML5 link to itch.io]

korpokrowa 2017-12-05 14:40

WOW. It's quite impressive, that you made this game in 48 hours. Well done! The gamplay is a little to slow, but I still like it.

fiakaiera 2017-12-05 14:51

@sempiternal Alright. I see your reason. Thanks for allowing yourself to post it on itch. I hope the other would get a better experience with it now.

You could have uploaded the main exe file and source first. You're allowed to port after the submission date. Take that in mind next time.

pragmascript 2017-12-05 15:14

Did you really make all the assets and animations in 48 hours? pretty impressive

sempiternal 2017-12-05 15:17

@pragmascript I have streamed the beginning of the first day as well as most of the second day https://www.twitch.tv/divided_by_0/videos/all some vods in here :D

hdtv 2017-12-05 16:10

Those animations, Amazing! Simply watching the initial scene was entertaining.

The gameplay could use something. I couldn't find a way to fight someone without at least taking one shot.

annie-owl 2017-12-05 16:10

God damn. The premise of this game is actually what we had in mind when started our LD project. Cool game though. Soundtrack is extra thick and graphics are really nice too.

sarrixx 2017-12-06 05:23

Interesting concept for a game, quite difficult. Soundtrack and animations are bang on haha, epic work. Kudos on a great game!

thesoreon 2017-12-06 18:25

Simply amazing game. I very like the graphics, smooth gameplay and controls tip at the bottom. At first i was a little bit confused why i can't move, because i couldn't see my character at all. They are all almost same! Very good job.
