I loved the stealth and having a choice of weapons (ranged and melee) was a nice touch, especially for 48 hours!\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Few issues I picked up on:\r<br\/>- First enemy is a pure trial and error learning experience. Very much thrown in at the deep end. I'd try to make him visible some how so you can introduce people to the game.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>- Character doesn't properly face the direction your mouse is pointing. It looks cool and plays well and this was a let down for me."},{"author_name":"purgatory","author_uid":"111673","time":"Aug 30, 2016 @ 8:42am","epoch":1472546220,"text":"The weapon 2 sprite is supposed to show the player character body diagonal as to be more like a real stance, but I didn't make the graphics show where the head is facing well enough.

Play as a spy to steal secret technologies.\r\nI was unable to finish it all... I wanted more levels. Many graphics are low quality (2d top-down games generally look dodgy regardless) and the menu screen is a concept art! More importantly, I have 0 sound effects or music, which I am not familiar with.\r\nRegardless, I feel it's a decent effort for my first game jam. I'll try not to give myself too much work next time!\r\n\r\n\r\n**Tips**\r\n-Equip your daggers (number 2) and sneak behind the guards to kill them\r\n-Use your throwing knifes sparingly! You only have 3, so save them for picking off hard enemies at range or if you need to kill a guard that's locked onto you.\r\n-Movement creates sound, as shown by the circle (does not travel through walls) that enemies will hear. Make use of ctrl to sneak!\r\n","title":"Augustan Rogue"}
