Loved the art and the game mechanics! The web version seems outdated, so I downloaded the Mac version and it's way more polished. I find the whole approach really innovative, with the limited number of pictures and pin board to assemble them, and reminiscent of one of my favourite SMT features: arguing with demon personalities to have them join you. Great job, guys!
I really like this game. The art is great and the game looks polish. Excelent work :)
Got all 5 of them!
Caught a crash in my browser on mac. Everything was fine at first and I thought I was special (without crash, because I see warning). But the game crashed while I was puzzled pictures of a demon turtle on the board.
But that didn't stop me from enjoying the game! The idea is great. Really enjoyed the demons and their exploration on the board. They are of course heavily turned on their appearance, but who knows what demons are really like.
Suggestions: 1) The game drags on in the latter stages. I focused on assembling 3 pictures of each demon and then immediately trying to answer their questions. 3 pictures, personally, didn't seem like enough for me. I wish I had the option to take more pictures before talking to a demon. Also could have made the photo size larger - that way you could focus on the photos of different parts and gather the big picture first. Right now, some photos just don't make it clear what you've photographed at all. 2) The board is small for 5 demons. It would like to be expanded. And when you open a demon - his photo can either be removed or glued together for easy drag and drop.
Really creative concept & gameplay!
Amazing little experience. The vibe is unmatched, piecing each demon together feels great (although some answers are quite similar and important details are very easy to miss) and I love visuals and writing.
First of all, the art style is gorgeous, and looks like it's from an art exhibition. The mechanics of stations used in the summoning process are quite interesting. Dialogues between the demons and the summoner are well crafted. The only thing to nitpick, micromacroscope could be a little more informative to detect the features of the demons. Excellent job!
I think when using AI art as part of a Game Jam you should credit it clearly on the page, just cause it's not entirely obvious to everyone playing the game. Aside from that it is a neat concept, very different from most other games, an interesting change of pace! I do agree with @KrummSakura about the Micromacroscope.
Really had a ton of fun you should be proud!
I really enjoyed that game ! It's creative, simple and effective. The dialogues killed me xD
Nice! It looks like a retro adventure. I've collected two daemons. It would be great if the game showed our progress and what we've caught, like a bestiary. Good job!
@alessandro2024 thank you for your comment! These are completely original designs. While I use AI as a tool with Ps, Ai, and Stable Difussion, following current trends in design, the art is mine and not AI’s. I am happy to share my documentation with you if you send a message using my website: nikolehidalgo.com
@alessandro2024 why do you feel AI tools should be credited?
