Very poignant reminds me of me when i die of thirst from coding

Kind of strange, but nice

I don't quite understand how to play... Is it something that only senior programmers understand?

This hit pretty close to home once I figured out what to do. The art was cool and so was the music. It's kinda making me wonder if I should stop spending so much damn time typing things, but then again it is a lockdown soooo. Cool idea, but it just was not super clear that the clear was to copy the text.

Hm, can't get the linux build to work unfortunately, it just says "Error: Couldn't load project data at path ".". Is the .pck file missing?"

david-knox 2020-04-22 00:23

I've re-exported the Linux build, and it should work now. @uberardy was right in that I forgot to embed the pck file.

The gameplay, which did take me a minute to figure out how to play, is really nice and chill. Adding some feedback to the UI buttons like a drinking sound effect when pressing the drink button would go a long way for the game's immersion. Overall, really great art, music, and work guys!

Pretty awesome and the setting was great. Instructions a bit unclear but once I figured it out it was pretty fun!

Thanks for fixing it! Quite interesting and odd, really made me think... I like the music and art, it did take me a bit to figure out what to do. The prompts felt really repetitive after a while but that's probably on purpose I'd assume.

Really chill, love the atmosphere. A weird sort of game, but I like it a lot.

Ha, if only real programing was this easy

Nice. I just wish there were more variety in the typing sentences...

In any case, this game is very relatable. And I like the thematic items that help you with productivity but also speed up your thirst.

Keep up the good work.

You should also be aware that you can't code while having your right hand on the mouse and your left hand on the WASD. That's not how coding works :stuck_out_tongue:

- This music is nice! - Before pressing anything to start the game, I got up to do something, and when I returned, I had already died! I found that quite funny. - I don't know why, but there is something absurdly hilarious about "meat city" and "Alexander Tamilton". - Code that visually was split into multiple lines was a bit confusing at first! Once you get it, though, it's not so bad. - Didn't know that everything from THE GAMER STORE! was one time use at first, so I ended up wasting a perfectly good Hawaiian pizza - After buying everything and with progress being at 80%, I decided to sit back and relax, only making more money when necessary. It was a quiet and peaceful wait. But then at 100%, this jump scared me -

Rent is terrifying, man. Spent another five to ten minutes pushing up to this sudden new goal.
