LudumData

Infernal Jam by HiddenTavern

[raw]
made by HiddenTavern for Ludum Dare 48 (JAM)

THE GAME Does every jam feel like a barely controlled fiasco? Do you code barely functional stick figure games while everyone else makes fully realized 3D masterpieces? Then you may find this journey a little familiar...

HOW TO PLAY This is a short interactive comic -- sit back and make choices. Easy choices. No pressure. When you see the green text box at the bottom of the page, click on it to go to the next page. We’ve done the hard part -- you do the easy part.

DEV NOTES Coding: Unity Art & Animation: Krita & Tahoma 2D Music & SFX: Audacity

I couldn't finish the game beacuse I got an error at Gluttony and the game stopped working entirely. Also if the theme for the next Ludum Dare is Minesweeper but MMO I'm blaming you ;)

Cool Idea. Jokes were fun. Best one "assembly" xD. Art was quite nice. The game was locked at 1920x1080 resolution and my screen is 1600x900 so bottom part of game was kinda cut. Choices didn't matter except "theme" one, maybe that was intended? Overall quite nice funny short experience.

@axlplosion Wooops. I'll see what's going wrong. We had a terrible time with the Unity WebGL build so maybe something went wrong there.

@ansh-mishra Sorry about the resolution issue. The choices were originally going to matter and impact everything down the line... but that got left on the cutting room floor. :-( Along with all the voice acting and therefor most of the jokes.

Nice game and art. I liked the storytelling and the jokes.
A nice touch would have been to add a music reflecting the story and its steps.
Except that GOOD JOB :clap:

Lol, I love meta-experiences like this one. A little too relatable at times. I really liked the bug squashing when compiling haha.

Brilliant idea of the game. It got me some memories back from past LD's.
Short but fun to play.

Really fun game ! The graphics and presentation were very nice, and I found the main concept and the various jokes quite effective for this experience. Although the game was quite short, I enjoyed my time playing it, so good job !

Haha, A very cool interactive story, I really liked the art. The ending was also great and pretty funny.

I had fun going through it and experiencing the authentic ludum dare experience. The game also made me want Swedish fish for some reason. Great job.

@stephen-scott-day That was fun to watch -- it's too bad that you played the first build we put up. We were so exhausted that we went to bed and didn't realize our build was broken until the next morning. Luckily it was a stupid Unity issue and we got it re-uploaded. It's so great to see someone laugh at a joke that seems funny in your head.


@aroningi The programmer loves Swedish Fish and they were on my desk for that picture... and I kept stress-eating them. I may not eat Swedish Fish for a while.

Too real, man. Too real. 4/5, would do "a frog's tale" and blame you.
