its alright to have distractions

Really cool idea. Good Job!

Nice idea, I just couldn't figure out to progress.

@nachtwitch @sam-awk @lyghtningwither Thank you for playing! I updated the description to have some starter tips, in case anyone moving forwards needs the advice. :smile:

Fun little game, I didn't fully read the description to keep any surprises real, but I thought by myself it would be a good start to rummage for a bit next to the shop. Love how big you made the town feel, unfortunately didn't get to that sweet sweet passive income. Good game nonetheless!

@bjeaurn thanks so much for the kind words! I made the decision/mistake to make all the models for the town at the start, and I love the town models, but I think they sunk too much of my time, since I didn't even start CODING the game features until about noon on Saturday! I'm glad you enjoyed, thanks for playing!

Neat and clean idea, I see quite few "homeless"games for this Ludum Dare, I guess it's the theme :D

The models were good looking and the camera angle you chose for your game was interesting. However, I think the character's movements were a bit slow and the buildings very spaced out, so it was quite long to move from a building to another.

Nice work apart from that, well done :)

Not a bad game, the way the theme was done was interesting alright. The gameplay was smooth, although I would not have figured out how to progress if you didnt add the starter tips! I also like the simplistic models.

Considering the conditions you were under, not really much to complain about, except it being rather quiet.

Welcome back after a year and a half! Hope to see you next LD.

Pressing space in front of the buildings would open a menu that wouldn't close afterwards. I didn't manage to play the game, sorry I can't give you a better feed back D:

Thanks so much for playing everyone!

@kanonix Initially I was going to re-do the layout of the town, that was just the way it was set up for testing when I first imported the assets, but alas I ran out of time, and the map stayed the same! Haha oh the joys of a time limit! Oh and Not sure if you noticed, but there was a sprint option to move faster. :smile:

@darylsteak I really wanted to add an in game hint/tip section but I never got around to it. Putting it in the description was the next best thing! Hopefully I'll be around for the next LD also, now that my job schedule permits it, I don't plan on missing them if I can help it.

@hcursino Oh no! It should close the menu if you press shift while it's open. Strange that it wouldn't close.

It is a nice fit to the theme. It is not my kinda game but I still appreciate it

blint6 2019-10-07 14:41

Aside the character, I like that voxel style :) however I would have played longer and more thorough if the shift key was not against me (too much depletion, even when closing menus!)

The theme fits great and there are nice _build up your life_ mechanics. Definitely decent deliverable, good job!

evannex 2019-10-07 15:08

@thiago-nascimento thank you for playing!

@blint6 HAHA yeah the character was.... not meant to be in the final game!! Oh wow, shift was wasting your energy too much? It was meant to be a slow depletion, not rapid. I might have to take a look at that to find the cause.

The gameplay is original as a "one man" managing game I think ! But I think you've seen too huge with too many buildings, we can do so many things in it !!!

robowarrior1982 2019-10-07 19:42

I like voxel graphics, but i think the menu is a bit confused.

lanalux 2019-10-07 23:52

It's hard to get off the streets. :(

Great game concept and lovely buildings! :)

happysnake 2019-10-09 12:34

Bit confused what was happening and no clear goal at the start or how to do it, but it seems like there is a lot of content and systems there so well done. Also, happy birthday!!!! :D
