The Story of Your Life by MatrixBai

[raw]
made by MatrixBai for LD28 (COMPO)
Every one have only one life and there are many choices. So I create this game, simple UI based game.

I cut some planed features ( family, special event) and narrative choice feedback because out of energy and poor English written skill. The music is from Rheyne ( https://soundcloud.com/rheyne/rheyne-ambient-jam-3 ).

Thank you guys for providing such good suggestions, see you next LD and I'll make a more interesting game :-)

Very nice story. A maybe a few less presses between dialouge

It was quite funny and inovative.

Interesting. There are a few typos (like "woking" instead of "working"), but it does what it's supposed to. Great effort.

I had a pretty sad ending.

Thanks for rating my game. Can you provide a binary (download) version of your game please?

Unfortunately, the Unity web plugin does not work yet on unix, but the downloadable version does :-)

I'll come again later. Cheers!

Really interesting take on the theme. Played it a few times just to see some of the different outcomes.

Interesting idea, although it quickly just turned into clicking buttons. I liked the music, it added a nice mood. The game felt solid, except for a few typos and such.
Nice work.

I liked this one, it was interesting and kind of insightful. Very good job, I like games that make you think.

The mood in this game is great. Innovative. Make you think a little bit.

The background music adds much to the mood, really well-chosen, I like it. However, the whole process is a bit repetitive, maybe adding some random event will make the gameplay more dramatic.

Wow, that really put me into a pensive mood. Good job!

Thanks for the linux build!

That was an interesting game, but maybe a bit too ambitious for Ludum dare? The problem of these simulations is that they are heavily dependent on the interface and the balancing of the options.

One thing I would do to remedy this a bit more easily is to make the game MUCH shorter - So the player can try to explore different directions more easily.

Also having the attributes available as numbers, instead of energy bars, maybe would attract more engagement from the player - as it is now it is a bit hard to get engaged.

Thanks for the game, and see you next LD!

Good attempt and a good idea, but it was a bit boring to play, (you probably had loads more stuff you wanted to put in). It's like a really trimmed down version of Kudos, a game which I've enjoyed a lot in the past. Good job and getting it finished! :)
