Knights vs Hobos by Kenarf

made by Kenarf for Ludum Dare 45 (JAM)

A challenge for two, 17- years old students: Franciszek Łuczak (coding) and Jakub Mazur (graphics), it needs more polish, wchich we'll attend to do in the nearest future, although it was quite of an enjoyable experience in our game dev journey. Have fun! The game has over 20 items to loot, some of them are loot-only, other are craftable, play with our crafting system yourself and see!

DISCLAIMER: to equip an item, just double click it.

Very nice

07. Oct 2019 · 19:28 UTC

I stopped getting items and the buttons started bugging out and the striking animation stopped showing aswell after a while so a bit unstable for me.

but interesting concept!

07. Oct 2019 · 19:29 UTC

great

07. Oct 2019 · 19:29 UTC

I loved it! xD I played several times even though my first try was the absolutely best (so many perfect kills) :D

I just missed a way to replenish hp (even if is just a bit ocasionally). I went through several rounds with 1hp and winning loot without raising my survivability xD

I'd love to see what this could become in the future =D

07. Oct 2019 · 19:29 UTC

@kekkodude really? Damn, didn't get those errors haha. Thanks for feedback! Will try to fix it someday!

07. Oct 2019 · 19:31 UTC

@danielclarc thank you so much! Well, we have a pretty broad field for development in the future. Love the feedback!

07. Oct 2019 · 19:54 UTC

I enjoyed this a lot, it was very funny and the art style was good. I agree with an earlier comment - I'd love to see something that could heal me. But this was very fun.

07. Oct 2019 · 19:56 UTC

@tjmcdonald, thanks a lot! It's our first game, really love the feedback. Thank you so, so much

07. Oct 2019 · 19:57 UTC

Sorry, I might be dumb, but I couldn't get it to work. I was clicking the symbols but nothing seemed to happen. Interesting idea though.

I just click on one of the symbols, it says 'rock paper scissor' and nothing happens XD Might just be me being thick!

07. Oct 2019 · 20:00 UTC

@indiebin can you expand on this thought? Maybe we just messed something up hah

07. Oct 2019 · 20:06 UTC

@indiebin, sorry to hear that. We'll examine the issue. Have you tried to restart the game?

07. Oct 2019 · 20:28 UTC

interesting game idea, would be fun to play outside the jam if polished a bit more

07. Oct 2019 · 20:37 UTC

@nachtwitch thank you. We will definetely consider polishing it!

07. Oct 2019 · 20:56 UTC

Nice game! Powodzenia w dalszych pracach :smiley:

07. Oct 2019 · 21:00 UTC

@kubeec Dzięki wielkie! I nawzajem ;)

07. Oct 2019 · 21:09 UTC

gotta love a classic!

07. Oct 2019 · 21:11 UTC

@tom-adams finally, it's nice to see somebody got our references to the OG stuff haha

07. Oct 2019 · 21:22 UTC

I clicked for the amazing title and was not disappointed. First game to make me laugh !
Give this handsome Knight some healing potion for the future :)

Congrats for your game, it's really cool ! Love the art !
ROCK PAPER SCISSORS !!

07. Oct 2019 · 21:24 UTC

cool idea, good work!

07. Oct 2019 · 21:25 UTC

@4quet Thank you! Really love the feedback! Will definetely try to add some kind of health refill item!
@buoygames Cheers! Glad that you like it!

07. Oct 2019 · 21:54 UTC

Congrats with you first game on Ludum Dare! Not bad idea, but hobos don't look like hobos, and to evaluate the system of craft and all items have to restart many many time... Anyway, it was fun) Nice job!

07. Oct 2019 · 22:01 UTC

Nice one!! Love the audio :)))

07. Oct 2019 · 22:01 UTC

Nice one!! Love the audio :)))

07. Oct 2019 · 22:01 UTC

Nice one!! Love the audio :)))

07. Oct 2019 · 22:01 UTC

Nice one!! Love the audio :)))

07. Oct 2019 · 22:41 UTC

Pretty funny. Great voice acting :smile:

08. Oct 2019 · 04:18 UTC

@jaydubbyasee
@dinorex
@lonewolfdev
Thank you guys for your amazing comments, they are highly appreciated

08. Oct 2019 · 09:35 UTC

At first I didn't understant whose turn was, so I kept selecting the wrong choice. The knight design really made me laugh as well as the voice. good job and welcome to Ludum Dare :) !

08. Oct 2019 · 09:50 UTC

@tommyflower thank you so much! The idea of turns in the game is pretty abstract. Really glad you enjoyed it!

08. Oct 2019 · 11:57 UTC

Hobo games!

08. Oct 2019 · 12:18 UTC

Hobo devs united!

08. Oct 2019 · 13:57 UTC

Really funny! love the voices:)

08. Oct 2019 · 14:07 UTC

@drixide @alex-higon hobo games United!

I would recommend having a background color to the HP sliders (if they are sliders) or add text above the HP so that it's easier for the players to see how much damage they can take/deal. Overall, a simple concept pulled off well, good job.

08. Oct 2019 · 17:28 UTC

@saltfactory-studio thank you for the feedback!

08. Oct 2019 · 17:56 UTC

Its not a bad game / altough i would make different variations of the "Rock paper scissors" to make it more... "Realistic" ?

but its a good game overall!
Keep up the good work

08. Oct 2019 · 18:27 UTC

@wansou hey! Thank you so much. Can you ellaborate on more realistic rock paper scissors? Just curious haha

08. Oct 2019 · 18:47 UTC

@Kenarf so like, changing the tone of the voice so you dont hear the same thing again and again, and it gives more "Fun/realistic" look to the game, good luck mate!

08. Oct 2019 · 19:08 UTC

@wansou cheers!

08. Oct 2019 · 19:17 UTC

How do I survive past 3 hobos... They keep killing me XDD
cool idea, but if I'm not getting something wrong, perhaps some way to make it more balanced (reducing the luck factor a bit, especially when the player doesn't have much equipment yet) could help if you're gonna flesh this out with more stuff in the future.

08. Oct 2019 · 20:05 UTC

Not a bad idea, but a lot depends on luck. For example, you can add coins that the player receives for each turn and in the store he can buy HP replenishment or gain for them and then the game will get better

08. Oct 2019 · 20:33 UTC

@iak @daniiln thank you for The feedback guys! HP refills are highly requested (no idea how we could have missed it) will try to add it ASAP!!

08. Oct 2019 · 23:30 UTC

Very funny game. I liked the voice acting. If you continue the game you should add more animations and sound effects. Great job!

09. Oct 2019 · 04:51 UTC

@kyle-bowman thank you for your feedback! Really happy, that you liked it

09. Oct 2019 · 07:11 UTC

ROCK PAPER SCISSORS !!

Very cool entry! Absolutely love the art, mood and humor! The crafting is a really nice touch, made it very fun to play!! Great job!

09. Oct 2019 · 08:00 UTC

@karlipoppins thanks a lot! Glad that you like it! You made the whole team smile:)

09. Oct 2019 · 10:00 UTC

The zip is corrupted m8 :(

09. Oct 2019 · 10:38 UTC

Cool and funny! Like others mentioned a way to receive some hp back would help a lot. Not sure if no loot is also part of the drop because one game I won 2 rounds and didn't receive any loot. I guess other hobos stole them before I could

09. Oct 2019 · 12:53 UTC

@mad-brokli works for the rest as you can see. Can't do much about it now unfortunetely:/

09. Oct 2019 · 12:55 UTC

@shenawy no drop item is an implemented feature. Forgot to make more or any obvious. Sorry for that ://

09. Oct 2019 · 13:32 UTC

Cool game and really funny.
I'm not sure about it revolving completely around random chance, but it is a solid entry for this jam, congratulations

09. Oct 2019 · 13:40 UTC

What is it with hobos this jam, haha! This is like fifth game already I saw that featured hobos in it.
Pretty cool entry indeed.

09. Oct 2019 · 13:49 UTC

@pedro-miranda we'll figure it out. The idea of rock paper scissors just appealed to us as unusual way to create a fight system. We are really thankful for your feedback!

09. Oct 2019 · 13:50 UTC

@iluvatar it's an effect of rapid brainstorming haha. Glad you enjoyed it

09. Oct 2019 · 15:55 UTC

This is really unique and it's nice that you mixed up the combat system, awesome job.

09. Oct 2019 · 16:12 UTC

@whatnamegames thank you so much! Really Love that you enjoyed it

11. Oct 2019 · 15:54 UTC

Funny game but the graphics are not properly good. Afer a while begins boring. However in general good work

11. Oct 2019 · 19:30 UTC

Congratulations for making this game !
I didn't understand how to equip items at first. It's not very intuitive since the left side of the inventory is labelled Equipements.
The sound was a bit ominous.
However, nice crafting idea but we don't drop enough items !

12. Oct 2019 · 07:26 UTC

@wakobu I know the inventory controlls may get pretty confusing. Still we are planing to work on a lot of things to make the game better!

13. Oct 2019 · 08:43 UTC

Hahaha, funny graphics, the game is a bit repetitive after a while. Nice idea to introduce variation using an inventory system. Congrats!

13. Oct 2019 · 09:10 UTC

@gnappuraz thanks for your feedback!
