Where are you, Santa Claus ? by yoanndeplo

[raw]
made by yoanndeplo for LD28 (COMPO)
Hello ! This is my first LD and I hope that you will enjoy my game : "Where are you, Santa Claus ?" I used RPG maker VX ace. If you see a bug or a mistake, report it and I will fix it.

Enjoy !

After a few comments, I realize that I should enter the Jam instead of the competition, I apologize.

Okay, I REALLY want to play this game. But I am not going to download a 190 MB file from a suspicous site. So I can't rate.

Why do you think that the site is suspicious ? It's just a free files host.

Quite funny, and a surprising mashup of Christmas and RPG themes! The graphics are well done and the dialog is pretty hilarious! Great work!

downloading the game right now. I think that a dropbox or google drive link should be easier and look safer for a lot of people.

Nice one ! the game is a bit long for all the games i have to test but i make it to the end, without the easter egg sadly. Very entertaining game :)

I visited the host on an other PC, without adblock, and now I know what you were talking about :).
I will change the host.

Would be nice to see a time-lapse of the game and all of the assets being created in 48 hours.

Hey yoanndeplo, if you want to use pre-made content for your game, you should enter the Jam, which has less strict rules. Other than that, a well constructed RPG! We had fun playing.

At start, I was a bit suspicious about all the content that didn't look like it was made during the jam, but then I guessed you've used some of the JRPG editors and I thought, what the heck, why not, it's perfect tool for the first entry.
It's actually a nice little game, I had fund and managed to find Santa eventually :)
In English version, the yes/no choice actually gave me "oui/non" options, so I guess it might have been the typo from the french version.
Congrats on your first LD entry!

Kind of hard to rate this game since it is probably in the wrong category. Will leave graphic and audio as na. I did not manage to find the easter egg. Game was interesting but a bit lacking in gameplay the few unexpected deaths that was put in felt out of place. Good first game.

I used RPG maker VX ace, wich was a middleware and there was the rule 4 : "All publicly available libraries and middleware are allowed." So I thought that I could enter the competition.

But now I realize, that I was wrong and I should enter the Jam. Sorry.

Jarnik : I've seen the error and fix it. At the moment, I'm uploading the corrected version. Thank you for report it.

Quite like it... Nice graphics. I played it in French first and then in English, and it made me think about how the grammar in the two languages are so different!

Any chance of an OSX version?

I didn't really get the hang of the game, but I managed to become Game Over at that woman's place answering questions. Nice effort for 48h, but I think the game needs to show a little more clearly how you are going to sort things out with Santa before exposing the player to large risks (such as "death").

Sorry, orangy but there won't be a OSX version.

RPGMaker? Good for first entry! Congratulations ^^
I like idea and gameplay. Soundtrack is nice too :)
But... next time enter to JAM if You're use RPG default assets, or someone else content ;)

Ah, after reading the comments it looks like you used RPG maker for this. Still, excellent job on your first entry, but next time submit in Jam.

This game was great! I really enjoyed the humor. Totally got the easter egg. :)

Also, for Linux gamers: the unzip mangles the name of "Graphics/Titles1/Papa no毛l.png". If you rename it to have the 毛 in it, then wine will run this game just fine. :)
