Maybe you could have added new tasks after a certain number of hours. The combo keyboard + mouse is a bit unintuitive, <space> for action would have been nice.\nThe todolist at the left is great to optimise interventions.\nThis is some nice work for a first jam, yet I would I loved to see the cops at the end !","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Sanjana","author_uid":"1187315","time":"2020-04-21T00:29:41Z","epoch":1587428981,"modified":1587428981,"text":"I really love this game.

Maybe you mention somewhere that the player has to clicking on the vibrating items. I also didn't fully understand why vibrating items sometimes stopped vibrating even though I hadn't clicked on them yet.

Animation is a skill we are still trying our best to learn and we hope to have it down by the next jam (@llewellyn-and-michael, @zonvoi, @jetthesimon). As far as the game went, after reflecting on your inputs allowing the user to simply press space when close enough to an object would be much more functional (@defectivemelon, @qux, @mika-la-grand). Currently, the game has items that seemingly fix themselves which I agree doesn't make sense, I believe our original intention was if you don't complete the task the guest gets upset, fixes it, then leaves the party. This was never clearly stated, and wasn't a very intuitive mechanic, in our next game we will try to have more comfortable mechanics (@defectivemelon, @qux, @mika-la-grand). When it comes to the sound, we all agree that it does get annoying pretty quickly. I think we could have used a audio indicator, where the sound just plays once almost like an alert. Our original goal was to have several music tracks but by the end of the jam we just couldn't get the music to sound right (@jetthesimon, @camden-obertop). We had hoped to get the cops finished before the jam was done, but once again our lack of animation knowledge left what we had looking very sloppy (@qux). Which made us scrap that and make it our goal to really learn animation.\n\nYou guys have given us plenty to work on, and plenty of things we did well. We appreciate that and look forward to putting our skills together again in October!\n\nThank you all for playing our game\n- DuckStackStudios","likes":0,"format":"md"}],"format":"md","images":["ld46\/177247-aa623dd0962fe0ad0662db618335acae.png"],"links":[{"url":"https:\/\/duckstackstudios.itch.io\/flat-frat","text":"Youtube"},{"url":"https:\/\/duckstackstudios.itch.io\/flat-frat","text":"Youtube"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"58297","g_author":"1177246","g_event":"LD46","g_eventkey":"77","g_subevent":"JAM","g_urlkey":"268526","g_title":"Flat Frat","g_status":"PVT1","g_place":"1958","g_commentcount":"13","g_site2_node_id":"177247","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":{"n_key":"177247","n_urlkey":"268526","n_parent":"176557","n_path":"\/events\/ludum-dare\/46\/flat-frat","n_slug":"flat-frat","n_type":"item","n_subtype":"game","n_subsubtype":"jam","n_author":"177246","n_created":"1579411625","n_modified":"1587416222","n_version":"591298","n_status":"COMMIT"},"node":{"id":177247,"parent":176557,"superparent":9,"author":177246,"type":"item","subtype":"game","subsubtype":"jam","published":"2020-04-20T20:57:02Z","created":"2020-01-19T05:27:05Z","modified":"2020-04-20T20:57:02Z","version":591298,"slug":"flat-frat","name":"Flat Frat","body":"This is Flat Frat.
