Ludum Date 04:50 by irys

[raw]
made by irys for Ludum Dare 45 (JAM)

"Hey! It's your first game jam ever and, of course, you're feeling the jitters! Luckily for you, the very first person you meet turns out to be super friendly and helpful. (You even get to Build a ~~Bear~~ Friend!) There's just a little something that might get in your way."

Hello, everyone! This is the first game jam for 4/5th of our team, so we decided to make something close to our experience and the theme.

The least I can say is that the experiment is succeeded ^^ I really enjoyed reading the text entirely and I kind of recognized myself in your words ! Even though it's not my first jam, I have some great memories mine and I hope that you will keep as good memories as mine for this jam ! :)

Really great job !

love the idea of using RenPi and making a sim for a event like this! Good work!

Best quotation on this game ... nice art and idea on the theme, however the sound is a bit buggy, sometimes it restarts on simple interactions which makes it a bit annoying

@velvetlobster thanks for the tip! It seems the problem usually occurs either when advancing with mouse clicks instead of Space or when going backwards and forwards again in the dialogue. Still a mystery to me how to solve that unfortunately..

Nice, liked the game and did remind me of my first jam (though it went far more badly).
Great artwork
Liked the way the music changed though like somebody said it was janky and I had to mute it after a while :-(

@benk same. I loved sound design very much. And the story is little but powerful. I loved it!

That was pretty peak. Music was awesome too.

That was nice! Music was pretty neat, tough a bit glitchy sometimes. Art was... cool!, with character customization and that. And I don't know why, but I laughed incredibly hard with name selection! So it's a short fun game! Congrats on this!

Hi! This was really cute and fun. I don't think I've ever seen a VN in a Ludum Dare before so that was really fun. It's great building your friend's character too!

Overall a nice, chill game I think we can all relate to! Great job to the team.

Clever, funny, and well-written little game! Also, great job capturing the feeling of taking part in one's first game jam! The music is great as well (though it didn't seem to loop properly for me). Nice to recognize a familiar university in the background, too:)

So cute! I included it in my Ludum Dare 45 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look :) https://youtu.be/ZqT_X6b-pfk
