Maybe something went wrong, but music starts playing and I see text at the top of the screen but nothing happend

It works for me even though the UI is slightly cut off at the top and bottom in fullscreen on my 1080p monitor, I assume you used a 1440p+ monitor for development. While the goal of the game is clear, it's not really clear to me what the different attributes affect and what causes which app to go up or down in storage space. Also, the typewriter effect on the text gets a bit annoying after a while, it would have been great if clicking the mouse instantly showed the whole text. This type of game doesn't require Unity either, if you are familiar with web development, this could be done with basic HTML/CSS/JavaScript too, which makes the screen scaling issue you mentioned much easier for example.

Games works fine here. As you said it lacks a descent UI so we can track the current state of our app and know the risks behind the decisions

@palord Thank you for playing. you can get info of apps by clicking their icons.

@likirus Thank you for your play and suggestion. Actually "the user" in game will install new apps or uninstall an app by a rank of a attribute(the choice of attribute is random) when there is only 45% - 1% storage available. However, due to my bad numeriacal planning, data grows too fast that this stage is skipped easily in most stituation. And it is only idea in my mind, unity is the only tools i know a bit.. so there is large amount things that I need to learn.

The game is interesting.But……music cycle more naturally?

The idea is interesting, but as it has been said I have more issue to know what should I really do and what are the effects of my decisions. I clearly feel that it was hard to show what you had in mind and to make it clear for the player. What can be a bit hard for a simulation game like this for a Game Jam is that you have to guide the player enough so they aren't lost, and tell them what the parameters mean. Also light gray text on white back ground make it not really easy to read text

Your web version of game is not working.

"Unable to parse Build/Reborn_IamthekingofAPPs_web.framework.js.br! This can happen if build compression was enabled but web server hosting the content was misconfigured to not serve the file with HTTP Response Header "Content-Encoding: br" present. Check browser Console and Devtools Network tab to debug."

You should set compression to gzip (or even disable it) in unity publishing settings and reupload.

dan-str 2023-10-15 19:14

game is interesting, keep going

Game is playable) Has some trouble with visual and need tutorial, but it's ok

rossk 2023-10-15 21:14

I couldn't figure out what I was supposed to be doing, besides clicking "Go" and choosing a thing. What were the consequences of that?

I got the same error as @flying-dog-fish when using Firefox, but it worked in Chrome

psv-games-studio 2023-10-16 00:53

Nice!

kirsybuu 2023-10-16 04:54

I like the concept. As others said, it would be nice if the info about an app was presented in one place with clearer explanations about their purpose. Sadly never got to see new apps get installed, I was efficient with my space until I overshot and got a game over.

saumon 2023-10-16 05:51

@rossk Thank you gor your playing, you can get infos by clicking setting then clicking "storage" button. And there are some explanatory words under choices which correspond to attributes in "storage". In anyway, I didnt make a good tutorial.

saumon 2023-10-16 05:55

@flying-dog-fish thank you for your suggestion, I have repackaged and reuploded a new version.

croze 2023-10-18 04:23

Honestly couldn't tell what was going on, was mostly just clicking around until I lost, it seemed like you're supposed to keep 4 stats balanced by clicking the different options? Seems like a cool base idea for a game, just would have loved some more clear information on what's happening.

walaber 2023-10-18 21:00

fun idea, congrats on finishing a game for the jam, that's a big accomplishment! As already mentioned, a bit more feedback to players on what the stats are doing and affecting, and what trade-offs you are making with each update would go a long way to make it more engaging and enjoyable to play.

compasslg 2023-10-19 13:31

I feel like the idea definitely has some potential if you spend some more time on it, but still, good job on what you've achieved in such a short amount of time! Also I don't know if it's only happening to the web version, but I cannot exit the menu once I goes there to turn off the sound.

Nothing happen to me after the music beggin...
