I liked that your game has a new idea. it's been a long time since i've played a text game but overall good job! i know how hard it was to create such many different story lines

If you like reading, this is the game for you. Nice story and interesting idea.

Neat little story. The presentation is clean and elegant. What did you use to create?

baconsenpaii 2018-08-14 16:25

@starvingindie It was made using Ink Script.

Nice story. the fact that it has some critcism about our world is pretty nice, and the interacitve story is well executed. Nevertheless I was hoping to get more interactions with the character's skill point, but I understand that is hard to write an story and program it that these things are less important. Also, the music chosen is excellent but after a while it can sound a bit repetitive.

After all I enjoyed a lot, and (ending spoiler) I won't forget the battle of the earth, hehe

@dragojt I originally planned to have more skill based events, but I ended up running low on time and skipped them. Such are the woes of Ludum Dare.

oh ! a textual game ! Really good idea ! The music is cool too :)

These are a whole lot of words! Impressive how you managed to write this much good content within only 72 hours! Great job! :D

This was pretty interesting. I didn't play through more than once, but I may come back to it. This was a ton of story writing for a jam game. I agree that it would have been nice to see more with the skills, but understand running out of time. The music was nice. All in all, well done!

Really interesting story, wonderful music. I played through a couple of times, trying some different options, and got similar results each time. I'm not sure how much my character skills were affecting things, but the story was engaging and I liked the character you created. It's nice to see something so different for the jam, and I really appreciated the atmosphere of this.

Yeah the story is pretty interesting and it's an interesting implemintation of the theme using it to frame the story. I would say it would be nice to have your stats displayed so you know which options you should try in the story.

Interesting story. I say you have a real talent for writing. This is actually my second text-based gameplay this LD and my second in total as well. Popular category this year maybe? Anyway, I enjoyed it very much

Your game is rather unique when compared to all of the other LD submissions. The writing is pretty good, the music is great, and it really contributes to the mood.

The main issue I find with it is audience retention. I gave it a fair shot, but around the time I got to the battlefield, I was already so worn out from reading and reading, and I decided to give up.

Very interesting game) I really like music)

Enjoyed the character creation built into the first bit of script. Some good writing, may have been good to have different colored text for the player and other characters. Some people said there was music? i didnt hear any, maybe a bug or i just didn't get to it? Great entry well done.

I agree with what's already been said. The music went really well with creating an atmosphere/mood and the way you worked character creation/stats into the opening was really quite brilliant. I enjoyed this a lot and I hope that you continue to do interactive fiction. It's a strength. Also, thank you for playing Dungeon Time and congrats again on finishing! :)

I thought the writing was a bit wordy, but definitely solid. But I'm well aware there's not a lot of time to edit in a weekend game jam, especially with something of this scope.
