Cool mechanics and ambience, smooth and satisfying text setup. There are definitely some interesting situations arising with the real-time part of it conflicting (in a good way!) with the fact that there is some thinking required and time invested into the commands.\nNote: I think the itch.io page is cropping your game on the sides (even in full-screen mode). I believe there's an option to \"Enable auto-detecting size\". Maybe that'll help? :)","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Rob White","author_uid":"1052407","time":"2018-04-23T15:08:55Z","epoch":1524496135,"modified":1524496135,"text":"@sndr Hey! Thanks for playing, I was pretty happy with how it came out in the end. I've just finished playing your game as well which is pretty great! I'll leave a comment with my thoughts and rate it in a second. I just uploaded a new version of my game on itch which \"should\" fix the canvas size issue. If you can check it out and let me know if it's fixed that would help me out a lot!

That actually is a really fun game and your game is very reminiscent of it. Even though it's turnbased, your game is still very tense as you try to dodge and fight quickly with typing. Since this is a bit of a steeper learning curve game, perhaps an easy mode that slowed down AI actions would've helped us out.","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Darkphnx","author_uid":"1085125","time":"2018-05-07T05:59:33Z","epoch":1525672773,"modified":1525672773,"text":"This is very well put together!  Great work finding two incompatible genres!  This game had a surprising amount of visual feedback for text-based game-play, which I really appreciated.  Although, it wasn't quite clear on how to \"attack\" enemies.  I'd try using a weapon I was equipped with only to shoot into the air, or if I used a grenade I would immediately die.  A bit more instruction there would go a long ways.

The polish level is off the charts for a weekend LD game. I like the combination of text-based and battle royale, but I also had pretty much the same idea so I'm a bit biased, haha. Only complaint is that I think it moves a bit too fast. I had trouble even reading what was going on before suffering death or something, much less actually reacting. Also, I don't know if this is intentional, but I tried to use a knife that I think I didn't actually have equipped (which is obviously my mistake, but a very easy one to make), and it said I committed seppuku and killed me?","likes":1,"format":"md"}],"format":"md","images":["ld41\/83151-c2a3a8b96c9a1050208c860e68f9baa6.png"],"links":[{"url":"https:\/\/robwhite.itch.io\/text-royale","text":"HTML5 (web)"},{"url":"https:\/\/www.dropbox.com\/sh\/k8h09jo6dczqj8p\/AABgPTa1wLJKoA6D4ztPyr_oa?dl=0","text":"Project File"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"43334","g_author":"1052407","g_event":"LD41","g_eventkey":"72","g_subevent":"COMPO","g_urlkey":"225906","g_title":"Text Royale: The Ultimate Type or Death Fight","g_status":"USEAR3","g_place":"256","g_commentcount":"16","g_site2_node_id":"83151","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":{"n_key":"83151","n_urlkey":"225906","n_parent":"73256","n_path":"\/events\/ludum-dare\/41\/text-royale","n_slug":"text-royale","n_type":"item","n_subtype":"game","n_subsubtype":"compo","n_author":"52407","n_created":"1524241508","n_modified":"1524483218","n_version":"252987","n_status":"COMMIT"},"node":{"id":83151,"parent":73256,"superparent":9,"author":52407,"type":"item","subtype":"game","subsubtype":"compo","published":"2018-04-22T23:00:50Z","created":"2018-04-20T16:25:08Z","modified":"2018-04-23T11:33:38Z","version":252987,"slug":"text-royale","name":"Text Royale: The Ultimate Type or Death Fight","body":"![TextRoyale1.png](\/\/\/raw\/7bc\/c\/z\/11532.png)\n\n## ABOUT\nText Royale is a text based battle royale game created for Ludum Dare 41: Combine Two Incompatible Genres.\n\nYour goal is to be the last remaining survivor.\n\nFeatures semi-humorous interactions such as; reloading a med-kit.\n\nShould be played in full-screen for best effect.\n\n\n## CONTROLS\nBy entering commands, your character on the map will complete tasks.\n\nYou can type HELP in game at any point for useful commands.
