Do you want to know what really requires a lot of sacrifice? Make a game in 72 hours for a game jam!

In Game Jam Simulator you control a game developer and have to help them to find the pieces required to finish the game during the jam period, sacrificing all the distractions and, maybe, some features (pieces) of the original game idea.

I have to admit, that was a really nice game ! My only "problems" is that your character should always be running instead of having to press shift for it and that I had to change my keyboard layout for english since I have a french one.
But other than that, seriously, great job and keep up the good work !

Muito bom hein guilherme, ainda vejo que tenho muito a aprender com tigo auheuahe, infelismente não tenho muito o que criticar, talvez o personagem que ficou meio borrachudo, mas a animação ficou tão boa e tão caricato, que não levaria isso em consideração XD

Cute idea! I bet my programmer considered ME a distraction! All I wanted to do was chat and eat snacks while I worked on art.

I like your character. He has a cute face :)

Beautiful game,

I think by just decreasing the time quicker when you hit a distraction, it could improve the flow of you game

Well done

Awesome game! Would have been nice to have a little screen at the end similar to game dev simulator, with some funny reviews and a description of what the game may have been like. Just to add an extra layer to your game.

Other than that, the graphics and audio are really nice. The game play is simple and fun. Could possibly have incorporated the theme a bit more, but overall I think you did a really great job :smiley:

It's just you, to have a bright idea and difficult to develop in a jam with this ... Game jam simulator ... I identified myself so much, that in my game I also could not put everything I wanted ... 'Distractions and Focus 'can not live together ^^

I imagine your 3D art running on Unity, it should look awesome !!!

I really enjoyed the art and audio (especially the commentary) :D
The mechanic of collecting stones and bringing them back to your PC doesn't really fit the game jam sim topic though.

I really enjoyed the game! It's fun, well designed, audio and art is top notch! Congrats, well done!

A couple of things were bothering me a bit tho:
- I think the player should always run without the need of a key
- it might be nice to know which color is what, so that I know if I need more of it without having to go right next to it (maybe this is intended in the game design but I'm not a fan!)
- Maybe make distraction faster to make you lose time: distraction duration=1s but you lose the same amount of time
- Also the immunity to distraction was a bit weird, sometimes you have severals distractions close and you can use it, sometimes you don't have any close enough :(

Overall the game is great! very polished for a jam :)

That's a really funny game. I love the voice over, it really builds up. The graphics and animations are really cool. Maybe I would make the character run in other way because, at then end, my pinky was aching so much xD

I like your art style, humor, and narrator. But moreover, I like your idea because of my game also about making games on Ludum Dare :o)
