Neat and funny little game. I really enjoyed it. Thanks!

Babar: Aaaah, I forgot about it!

Cassiebsg: Yup, all stories do it to a certain degree some do it more than others.
Probably all good movies have some element of "mystery" or "something deeper" within them, but not all
of them are The Matrix.

Ali: Awesome, that looks like exactly the sort of thing I was looking for. Thank you! )

Hi guys,

For quite some time I had great interest in various "wierd" topics (esoteric ideas, UFOs, secret societies etc.).
Does anyone of you recall any adventure or other game that would openly (at least to some degree) and skilfully
dealt with these things?

The only ones I can remember are Broken Sword (one world government conspircies, bathomet...),
Atlantis (artistic reimagining of mystical Atlantis), Longest Journey (various skilfully implanted "deeper" ideas)
and Psychonauts (inner work, facing and transforming personal demons...).

Amazing on all levels... Are you sure there is no way to make full version happen?

Thanks for playing and feedback Cassiebsg. I'm glad you enjoyed it for what it is
I fixed the bowl and the inventory problem (you were right, it was a bug ) and auto-outlined the text.
I also promise to add some inventory-usey comments in the near future

I think I'd like to try bigger games too, but I definitely need to learn to manage my time better and to give myself enough space to just test and play.
I had to make last month's entry (Beard Beverage) as a save project in two days because there just was no way I could finish project I was working on it time.
And that one is a 3 to 5 minute game and it would still deserve few more days of testing (coding should be fine, but I would be much more at ease if I'd got
some pre-released feedback on dialogs.)
It's not a tragedy or anything, but I really want to take all I learned from the past month's mistakes and do it better this time

[Beard Beverage]

Hi guys!

I just spend two really hectic days attempting to meet a deadline for the first game of my 12 months 12 games challenge, and ended up with

Beard Beverage

It's a trippy short game about a guy who went on a quest for an epic beard into some distatnt dimension.

Let me know what it did with you and please, tell me about any bug, grammatical error or
unintentionally wierdly phrased sentence you come across.

See you next month with something less rushed (I hope:-D)

Love ya!

Sorry for not responding, guys. I'm still working on it!
Huge thanks to Slasher and Xil for a dose of inspiration loads of valuable tips.
I'm currently in the proces of making a small and absurd first game I think I can actually finish even with my current limited skillset.
The only thing I'll need to do is to extend the deadline till 5. november, but that should be technically allowable since that will make
exact full month since creating this topic

The idea of cooperating with different people is pretty cool, I agree it would be much more fun to do some of the games
that way. The small team would be probably too much at this point, but teaming up with one more developer sounds great

Thanks for all your encouragement and inspiration, guys!
I played Xil's Aractaur and really enjoyed it. That Ludum dare video is pretty damn amazing too.

I'd like to make an experiment

For the past two or three years I've had a couple of relatively interesting ideas for games, but never been able to finish anything.
I'd always come up with something I was excited about, but then killed it with far too much second guessing, over-analyzing
and pondering whether or not my current idea was "the right one".
Then I recently rewatched and got really inspired by Mark Applebaum's crazy and brilliant TED talk
and decided to try something (completely) different.

I'll attemp to make one game a month for the next 12 months with only one primary goal, and that is
to enjoy the process of creating them as much as possible.
Of course I'd also like to make them original, memorable and really fun to play but
I don't to worry about these things too much and be OK with the very real possibility, that
I may end up making nothing worth downloading whatsoever.

Allowing myself any result I'm really excited about where will the process take me.
Will I end up making just a bunch of hasily made and insane Legacy of the icecream man games?
Or will I be able to come up with something good?

I'm starting today and will post the first finished game at 5. of november.

Wish me luck and enjoy the ride!

Finished it couple hours ago and loved it.
It has great writing, music and voice acting, lovely graphic and very nice flow.
Thanks for the great work and look forward to the next game

This is completely off, but I just have to share this guy.

He travels around the world, collects music of different cultures and uses it to create really unique and powerful tunes.
Enjoy!

Finally got it and ready to play. I'm really excited!

Heh, Great! Loved it!

Just bought it. Really look forward to play it

Thanks a lot for nice and honest feedback guys

In my next game I'll try to soften the edges a little bit so the graphic would feel more consistent.
My friend is a brilliant artist and I hope to collaborate with her as soon as possible, but we'll need to get her a tablet first and to do that we'll need to become less poor

It kind of worked for me. I made a track, put it the game and found out that it feels a bit like Chaplin's movie so I kept it that way.
Plus I really like blues

Edmund and the potato



A short game about one man's ambition. And it's bluesy.

Enjoy and let me know what you think

That. Was. AMAZING!

Yup, we managed to get working version:

After several careful listenings in various states of mind and soberness I'll have to go with...

Diamond16's Tales of earth and ice.

It's a beautiful short movement combining moods of 2 pictures and creating something new.
And it really made me drift away and forget everything for a minute.

Congrats!

And thanks to everyone for putting love, time and energy into your music!
