I laughed so hard, you made my day! :D

Ah ok - just saw the 5 hour remark ... that makes great sense ;)

OH MY GOD, THIS FREAKING GAME, LOVE IT MAN. This game connects with many of the developers in Ludum Dare right now or every game dev in general. It's so meta. The text to speech kind of voice, the pixelated graphics, and dialogue. It's so good, it's bad. Got all of the endings and the first time I got an ending I laughed so hard. GREAT GAME, congrats!!!

Well, as the image says, it's "something" xD It was fun to play, I did not expect an ending like this, I was going for a more serious adventure, but it made me laugh ! I like the voice acting, it brings muuuch more sense to the storyline of Dave the dev, which is by the way the best possible name for a game :thumbsup:

Nice idea for a cute little project about games dev. I would like to know if you did the pictures or if you used a filter under Gimp or photoshop? Overall you share here a solid entry. I read that you did that in less than 5 hours - you was inspired. Thank you ++

@geckoo1337 Glad you liked the concept, I hope you can relate... :smirk: I used SPADE for artificial texture synthesis and a filter for the oil painting look.

Haha, definitely 5 stars for humor.

I really liked the voice acting, would not have been the same without it!

Voice acting on point. Solid story. It's something. Feels like the game goes on even though I finished it 5 minutes ago...

It's amazing that you did it in 5 hours, very funny sense of humour and cool voiceacting. Extra points for making a narrative game!

A weird and funny game. Well done.

aterlamia 2019-05-02 19:38

hey nobody gave you permission to make a game based on my life :D, i liked it very funny

I can relate although just reviewing other peoples games usually gives me around 30 votes each time, I do feel like my game is given a chance but usually I get bad scores which bum me out til the next ludum dare lol. I can relate somewhat, in a way this game is very meta and innovative. also you have a good voice. If I can say anything is bad is that it doesnt really follow the theme at all.

conspite 2019-05-02 19:44

It is indeed something

purrseus 2019-05-02 20:01

I don't even know what to say. You spent your 5 hours extremely well :laughing:

silkworm-sweatshop 2019-05-02 21:10

Congrats on making a thing! Even if you only had 5 hours, you did what you could and it gave me a chuckle.

Funniest and saddiest game entry I've seen on LD 😹

liquidbrain 2019-05-03 07:51

You know what, my team made a "slave trading game" the first day of the jam, then scrapped that idea lol

This got a few laughs out of me! I enjoyed it väldigt mycket ;)

zeriver 2019-05-03 19:42

Well that was a sad game that totally didn't hit close to the home. I liked the game references and the feel of inevitable end coming, completely unlike the real life.
