LD25 — You are the Villain

ROTTEN ROBBER by Start_ 2012-12-20T17:11:00

The idea was to create a tension between the hostage killing which makes you pretty damn evil pretty quick, thus triggering cops to arrive on scene you, and just trying your luck on the combination (which grows in complexity, as does payout). I couldn't keep at it on the monday, and frankly I'm very much of a beginner in terms of programming, as in I've had a 2 months python course on coursera and some tinkering before but that's it. So I'm not even sure I would have had the technical skill necessary to do what I wanted. I did learn a lot though, including why global variables suck so badly, which incidentally the wrap up conference of this class, which was just finishing, mentionned. The next day. Happy place. Happy place.

Any of you been busted by the cops? Tried doing a keyser soze? managed to retire without the game bugging? (sorry for the crappy bugs again..)

@eli thanks for the kind words, I can't tell you how happy it makes me that you enjoyed the choices I had cooked up. @GameRespect you're 100% right, less complexity and a less buggy implementation will be the keywords for my next attempt!

I liked the destroying of the board very much, which along with solid simple rules, allows for some interesting emergence. Kudos!

Having played it a bit more, I actually want to second on what oldtopman said. This was the best game I've played this time around, and I did test the one that ended up winning early on. It was very fun too, and impressive in many ways, but as far as wanting to play it, I want to play this game more. Congrats again!

Loved the ending, and I guess only thing was I wish the heroes had become faster or that there would have been more until I lose overwhelmed by hawaiian-shirted gunmen. Which would do away with the need to fail to progress

To say it's well themed would be an understatement, I love how the art creates this uneasy feeling quickly, and the guilt of shooting at a pixel is rather huge in comparison to many other games. This experience is very interesting, and it did avoid the pitfall of glorifying the fact of killing. Congrats!
