10 Seconds to Speech by brmassa

[raw]
made by brmassa for LD27 (JAM)
http://blog.brunomassa.com/p/ludum-dare-27.html for the complete set.
------------------------------------------------------------

A public speech: People. Mean People. Embarrassment. Shame.
And if they ask questions?! My mind freezes. Blank. I might die. I prefer to die.
-
Control yourself, you coward! You must think in ideas of what to answer.
You have 10 seconds.


------------------------------------------------------------
10 Seconds to Speech
------------------------------------------------------------

*** A strategy game unlike any other you ever played! ***
You play inside your character mind.

Every turn, you face a Question (with a numeric difficulty level). You can use Ideas (some good, most bad) to solve it and increase your "repertoire". But by losing you get rid of stupid ideas that do more harm in the long run.

Deal with luck and strategy to get the two final Grand Questions.

Don't be ashamed, give the game a try and show to your audience that you are capable of improvising! King's Speech for losers!

Notes


1* The most important one is: not all "Idea's Special Powers" were implemented (4 of 10 only). Much of strategic decisions to make depending on them. :( It WILL be there in the Extended Jam (aka, till the end of week)

Very, very nice! No doubt it's the deepest mechanic I've seen so far. Also a very different take on the theme. Definitely saving this one to make some more attempts later!

You should write a detailed tutorial and explains more clearly the rules, even if it's just a text because it's a complicated game. I manage to understood a bit how to play but that's all. I have no idea what I did during the game and if it was a good or a bad strategy.
Also, it seems to be good game and very original.

Vaalen, you are completely right. The price I had to pay in order to create a unique game mechanics (no game-maker to help) it to not develop a proper user interface experience.

I am, however, investing RIGHT NOW in a new versions with a much much more friendly interface. Check them!

original idea, but i didn't understand much at all, would like some tutorial or the like.
p.s. basing my opinions on the jam version, haven't tried your latest yet.

I have to admit, that I am not so sure what I had to do. But the idea is really great. The mechanic seems to be very carefully thougt through and unique. Very cool :)

It's kinda hard at the beginning. Actually, it's very confusing. But I think I got the idea. It just need a little polish.
