Good art , nice game with good gameplay 5/5!!!
@Rapter @Bradalli Thank you very much :)
nice graphics and concept, love it)
Fun, but please next time don't use this BIP as sounds, it destroyed my ears xD
Playing the mac build, the enemies never actually said jokes, just what looked like error messages:
* [NotFound: Wizard-interrupt-dwarf] * [NotFound: Wizard-comeback-dwarf]
and other things like that. Not sure that's intentional =\
@MarkoPoloDev unfortunately due to time constraints i was unable to finish the jokes for the enemies. Spend a whole day developing a joke generator but didnt have enough time to fill its grammar rules. xD so yes it is an error message.
Oooh, I thought that was the joke. Surreal humor is always effective. Nice mix there! One cool addition would have been the jokes written on the cards, and matched to comebacks, a bit as in Monkey Island...
@Damienp Writing the jokes on the cards was actually the initial intention but with the time constraints i had to scale back the whole idea. The plan was to actually randomly generate jokes on to cards so even though the card types\natures are confined to a set amount, there could be a limitless amount of unique cards you could collect, and crafting a "good" material deck would be possible. Maybe something to do post jam lol thank you for the feedback.
Runs on linux just fine, but deckbuilding for the bald guy seems broken (buttons don't respond). The entire run log is [here](https://gist.github.com/SynedraAcus/25108f2e28016fce2445356e91cbf1a8). And I'm not sure I fully understood the rules: for example, what's the success chance and where it comes from?
Also you have a typo in the game title here.
@Synedraacus thanks for the feedback man, Yeah the ldjam build is actually broken and breaks after a first go without a restart(you cant click anything after you play through once), I didnt upload a fix because It works enough and i didnt know if it was against the rules to upload fixes haha.
Success Chance is based on comic confidence stat which is completely obscured right now since i didn't have time ti implement it in the ui. Also based on the type of jokes you use and the likes/dislikes of the crowd(at the bottom of the screen).
I like the concept, The mood and whole game world is hilarious.
The concept is nice, I could not understand the mechanics fully, but the AI is very competent and it feels like a challenge. The jokes are great, good humor and mood. Well done!
Had some bugs(basically all were mention so I know you are well aware), but I don't think there are many if any of us jammers who's games didn't. Very original though, you basically mixed the genre of cards with, I would guess kind of game showish, I remember playing game show games on NES as a kid, and this kind of reminds me of how that goes. But mixing a medieval setting with def comedy jam was definitely a brilliant move, I think you did well on the theme. I'm a fan of pixel art graphics, so that was definitely nice to see. Good job man!
I really like the concept and the whole execution is great! It's a shame you couldn't finish up all the responses (as indicated by the error messages) but what I played was pretty good. I hope you expand on it in the future, great job!
@sandsower @Zombie Virals Thank you :) Yes there are some parts that are unfinished and minor bugs but i didnt want to update anything post jam since i didnt know if it was allowed. Ive heard its ok to update bugs by some but cannot get solid answer.
Thank you for the feedback - I really appreciate it.
Usually what some people recommend doing is to upload a different, post-jam version to keep the competition fair. As long as you make it clear to the players on the main post I think it should be fine.
