You clearly had a lot of fun making this, haha! Nice job.

jcmonkey 2019-10-06 23:33

ok this played better then it looked from your stream when i watched you make it.

This reminds me of "you become what you behold"

Neat game and knowing the work that went into it, doesn't diminish that. Also, that Voice Acting though!

I never managed to get into the party, maybe I failed to find all the required selfie spots. I had fun for some time. Short but sweet.

erebus 2019-10-07 22:37

@ixuz thanks for playing. The targets to photograph are, the duck, the yeti in the forest, waldo, and the invisible man (pair of floating sunglasses and hat).

I like this idea, it's simple and well made.

bocodillo 2019-10-08 01:07

Super fun idea. Loved trying to find all the specific characters, just for more of that quality VA work.

danny-wynne 2019-10-08 07:56

Simple and fun and funny, good job:) For the record, I made it into the party. I am very cool.

hcursino 2019-10-08 08:22

Amazing voice acting and recording quality. Everything fits in the mood. The game was short and simple but I had fun searching for those people to raise my followers. Good job.

I like the reference characters, very nice.

This game proposes some very thought provoking questions: "What in a modern age can be considered interesting?" and "Does the second image of the same thing lose all of it interest value till the end of times regardless of any factors?" I guess perfectly square trees and people are not interesting at all. And the fact that people nowadays are shepherded inside a strictly fenced area and everybody is fine with it is not interesting either.

I really expected a twist that after getting a bunch of subscribers, everything I'll post would be considered a new interesting thing worth talking about. Even if that something would be just a blank wall. I expected that I will become somewhat of an opinion maker. That would fit right in in the mindless sheepish walking-into-walls people society you have portrayed.

Voice acting is really funny, but I'm not really sure what they are doing in that party house with such suggestive sounds and not sure that interfering would be a very good idea.

A modern-day Pokemon Snap. Great concept, I really enjoyed the experience! Clever... Funny... I want to play more!

diaonic 2019-10-09 00:27

Nice submission, just a few quality control things I saw. Rename your exe so its not LD45. A sound slider to lower the volume would be awesome. I love the idea and the sound effects are hilarious. Nice work!

karlipoppins 2019-10-09 03:02

Very cool concept! I quite enjoyed the camera animation / FX and sound when taking a selfie. It was fun to run around looking for stuff to photograph. The game felt a bit short, but overall it was quite enjoyable all around! Great job!

tmpxyz 2019-10-09 03:09

A clever idea, and this might be more interesting with some other extra elements

drprettypatty 2019-10-09 03:37

lol that was really fun. The guy who kept calling me boring is definitely super jealous that I got into the totally awesome party now.

If you wanted to keep working on this, the only suggestion I can make is to add more stuff to find -- this game is perfect the way it is, and polishing it would ruin it.

bip 2019-10-09 06:45

What a fun Idea, and the voice overs were really funny.

jamioflan 2019-10-09 06:54

I couldn't see the follower count on ultrawide, but it was a very fun silly game

rhymar 2019-10-09 06:55

this was a short but fun experience^^ just add a skip of the follower comments and you can speedrun the game^^

pokekarat 2019-10-09 07:05

Good idea

w0lfenstein 2019-10-09 07:11

Professional voice acting and funny gameplay. Nice! ^^

bootak 2019-10-09 08:47

That is great idea nicely executed. I had a lot of fun while playing, thank you!

sharkwithlasers 2019-10-09 14:10

definitely the funniest game I've played so far this jam! Great voice acting!

Really like the pokemon snap/selfie mechanic. I feel like a "taking quality selfies" mechanic would work very well in VR!

shrapx 2019-10-09 16:24

I found about 3 guys by accident by taking my first selfie in front of a big area :p I didn't want to exploit that further so I found some other people my self. I liked finding wheres wally (waldo). Voices and sounds make it fun. So many silly lines in there. Really great job on a compo entry.

rillep 2019-10-09 20:03

Voice acting was 10/10, made me laugh! :D

theog 2019-10-10 08:58

Your game is fun, thanks for making me smile, my day can start now! :D Good job!

oneki 2019-10-10 10:09

Parody is always this huge pendulum swinging between hilarious and cringe worthy moments. Personally found it touching the comedy. Nice little thing, can't imagine playing another 5 minutes due to a perfect depiction of the sub-culture.

karanveer 2019-10-10 10:10

I had some trouble getting some interesting things, as i was relentlessly taking with skies and moon and trees, then later i saw some oddness and took selfie ith them and voila. Also, it hit me that if you got no followers you aint valuable? hmmm...WOW.Screenshot (41).png

eggshelldog 2019-10-10 14:58

A good way to fit the theme! and Voice acting in game jam is always great

shelvid 2019-10-10 22:05

Very hilarious entry, well done! Voice acting and comment reactions were definitely awesome. Finding some odd things was also very fun :) I don't really have anything bad to say about this honestly! Adding more interesting points would probably drag the game out (Although you could have several levels with bigger parties) but it shows that you had fun making the game :)

rhoka 2019-10-10 22:51

Fun little experience! Loved the voice acting. Only a couple little things I'd say. I think if you had a little checklist of things to go find it would give a bit more incentive and at the same time allow you to open up the play area to a larger area. On the other hand you could just tell the player to find things and just give them a total number followers to get so you know when you're close to done. Overall good job!

nocity 2019-10-11 08:56

Original and fun, great voice acting! The comments popping up when you take a photo were a nice touch. Two little issues: I accidentally closed the game by pressing ESC looking for an option to invert the mouse Y axis and I also didn't notice the bouncer was talking the first time I approached him because his voice got lost in the (hilarious) party noise. I had a lot of fun overall and this was the best social media simulator I played so far :D

prodigalson 2019-10-11 19:44

Definitely funny!

call-me-nutty 2019-10-13 18:57

Really cool and incredibly hilarious voice acting. Not much to criticise here, maybe more people to take pictures with but I had lots of laughs during this.

Great job!
