looks interesting plz pin me when the server is online!

I tried this yesterday while the server was online. I love that you made a literal working chat room for this jam. Multiplayer is no easy task so I applaud you for making this in such a short timespan! I think some small minigame for everyone to participate in would be fun, like a word on the wall that gets slowly revealed like "b**d" and people could guess it like "BIRD" and then it would just show "Jejkobb guessed the word first!". Anyways just a potential idea if you decide to keep working on it a bit. Great job!

@jejkobb Thank you!!! I probably should clarify that to make this I used an online multiplayer base I made much before this game jam. That’s why I didn’t submit this for Compo. For the jam I basically just removed unfinished logic, modified and added a tiny bit of code, swapped textures and had to figure out how to host it!

I added this clarification to the game's description now!

This is awesome, had ton of fun playing with @spaghetticupcake !! (I'm mexican by the way).

the graphics make a really cozy and also troubling mood for the restaurant, I love it!

I enjoyed my time at the restaurant. Compliments to the chef for the exquisite bird seed melange

I showed up when you pinged me so guess who that was! ;) Appreciate the chill vibe here lol

It is fun chatting with people

timonpoika 2024-10-08 13:48

Fun base for something, but sadly no interaction other than chatting. But great work getting it working on time!

This was a really nice experience right after a Ludum Dare x) I had fun talking to other devs :) Should keep a server up and, like, create a "After Ludum-Dare Cafe" where exhausted dev come to say "hi" :3 Nice job, a bit far from the theme though 2024-10-08_15-54.png

funny

Nice design, controls are smooth. Sadly I was alone, I shouted a bit, Don't know what to do when no one is around.

Multiplayer on game jam are tricky if no one shows up when you are there to rate them. Maybe have some sort of replay of previous players, repeating what they said before (that would probably lead to hilarious conversation) Trying to guess if you are alone in the room, if other are real birds (or drone by the gov :D )

Not really a game, but a nice idea, like it thanks

panicmore 2024-10-08 15:05

What a unique idea for a game jam! Chatted with a couple of other players about their games and whether it was chatGPT or not (I don't think it is)

I wish there was some more interaction - maybe chequers or something (Ambitious in the time frame i know)

Felt like a nice little break

I enjoyed sitting here pretending to be the bar manager. 😄

I love games like this! It's really simple but it does all it seeks to do, so I think it's good!! I invited some friends to play but unfortunately I think we crashed the server ;w; after 3 people joined we were disconnected and can't log back in.

Unfortunately I didn't finish my game in time so I can't rate, sorry, just wanted to appreciate the work!

spaghetticupcake 2024-10-08 15:57

@fupi Thank you!!! I started the server again now! It might work this time!

theyflower 2024-10-08 15:57

It didn't work for me. I could send chat messages but didn't see myself or anyone else. Did you test it on firefox/linux?

spaghetticupcake 2024-10-08 15:59

@theyflower The server crashed for a moment, it could've been that! It's running again!

erasemenot 2024-10-08 16:06

nice lobby chat, I wish we can eat and drink there

theyflower 2024-10-08 16:07

I tried again and it didn't work, wonder if me joining crashes it? LOL

fupi 2024-10-08 16:08

I'm so sorry me and my friends joined again and it crashed again :sob: I don't know what I'm doing!

spaghetticupcake 2024-10-08 16:15

@fupi @theyflower Now I actually shut it down myself for a second, you probably joined at that precise moment! Sorry! It's (probably) running again!

Thank you for having wanted to try it!

smielke 2024-10-08 16:21

Such an interesting concept! It’s really unique and captivating.

petit 2024-10-08 17:59

The server is always down. :(

wendel-scardua 2024-10-08 20:40

My suggestion seems to have backfired, sorry (but at least I got to play it enough to rate it)

spaghetticupcake 2024-10-08 20:44

@wendel-scardua It's OK!! I actually wanted a streamer to play it since before the suggestion anyway! Thank you for playing it and for the rating it!!!

lizz 2024-10-10 03:46

I wanted to check it out, give me a ping when you put it back online!
