I read the rules and I think it could be a nice party game if there was a timer involved that keeps the players in a little rush :) Also I love the random tables, and dice rolling is always a great option... Wish that this would be the focus of the game design to create a lot of dice roll tables for the game. For example on each round you draw 2 tables and roll a die on them. :) I like the overall idea of the game

Nice game! I really like the design of the game!I liked the random tables and dice rolling. I had fun playing your game!

I used random.org's number generator to roll some "dice" for me. Rolled a 20 and an 89. I'm not an artist, but I tried Paint and then Adobe Illustrator, with five minutes for each attempt, to see if I could draw a "drone" (LOL nope).

I like the concept, and enjoyed the fonts and clean presentation of your rulebook. Including a simple random number generator and having it present the results from the roll table would have been a nice addition. Still, this is a solid foundation. Congrats on the submission!

Really you have a good concept ! I had a lot of fun when I played. A timer could be a good idea to ameliorate. Good job !

Your rulebook was well presented and was easy to follow, could have had some additions as mentioned in the previous comments to make it suitable for a sole player. But overall nice concept for an art lover!

@fictions There is a rule for time constraints so that you're forced to draw things in a relatively short amount of time. The official written rules for time constraints is between 1 to 15 mins, but honestly after playtesting a bunch, I think it should be something closer to 30 seconds to 5 minutes at most.

@tohubohu Nice! I had to pump out a lot of weird drawings given the constraints and theme before. In the banner for the game, the bottom right drawing is "Donkey Kong" but drawn without using my hands.

That was fun, Great Idea! )))Screen Shot 2019-10-14 at 5.41.14 PM.png

I draw a lot but even for me it's hard to visualise most of these themes like Lyrical Phrase/Movie Quote etc

It will be better to use themes which uses in art class for basic drawing. Primitive shapes, Faces, Body parts, Furniture, Architecture, Robots/Mechanism, Weapons, Landscapes, Situations, Vegetables, Frutes, Dishes, Trees, Flowers etc

I was hesitant when I opened this, deciding whether it is fun or not. Then I tried it (I'm bad at drawing btw) and I loved the idea. I didn't like what I drew (19 body part, 6 wristless, tried to draw a hand) but I think this is really a game "starting with nothing" :laughing: Good job!

“Impressive game, Very cool concepts. I left wishing that there is more. Had a lot of fun “

I don’t know whether we’ll have the opportunity to play your game before the voting period ends, but I’m pretty sure we will eventually try it. I just wanted to leave a note saying how inventive I thought it was; we happen to organise drawing sessions with the same friends we do game jams with, and I’m sure we’ll have fun with it.

This sounds like a really fun party game or classroom activity. I really liked the long list of constraints - lots of clever stuff in there. Well-presented and well-thought out.

dxk2294 2019-10-15 06:42

Nice idea! Encouraged me to break out the old art supplies I had that were gathering dust. :smile: Loved the wide array of "challenges"!

xotsu 2019-10-15 09:25

Cool idea shame i cant draw :/

derek-volker 2019-10-15 12:41

Interesting idea. I dont remember seeing nothing like it in this or previous jams.

Congrats on the game!

the-osk 2019-10-15 16:57

Great idea. This could fit the board games category, maybe? Sound really fun!

Fun concept. I rolled Seasonal Holiday + Portrait Orientation. I did the art in Pyxel Edit using a custom palette. christmas-scene.png

First time trying a physical game, great idea for Inktober!

Fun game! Just like Ludum Dare, your prize is your product :)

I usually do pixel art so thought I'd try paper this time. Wasn't gonna post it at first, but I enjoyed seeing other peoples' work, so why not.

The "theme generator" was a nice touch and saved me some mental energy (I got "object in the room" / "birds eye view", and limited it to 5 minutes). I feel like my particular theme/constraint combo worked, although the theme by itself might not have given me enough direction with another paired constraint. Guess it depends on the player though, and how much direction they want. Anyway, thanks for the game - it was nice to take my eyes off the screen for a change.

Really like it.

Unique game concept, good job!

Awesome! Drawing is fun and love rolling on tables.

I got Geographic Location, Draw a birds eye view perspective of the theme so... I just decided to draw Australia

Adding more tables would be cool because... TABLES!

Edit: God the image is huge.
