Under the Bed by raymondwang

[raw]
made by raymondwang for LD33 (JAM)
Earthbound-inspired RPG about a young girl searching for her teddy bear underneath her bed––and fighting through monsters to get there!

All work completed within 50 hours by a team of five. The game is incomplete: item functionality was not implemented at all, there are a plethora of bugs (the final boss encounter especially), and the thematic fit was notably rushed. Most of these things are intended to be fixed later, but this iteration was for General Assembly, whose Game Jam coincided with Ludum Dare, but was significantly shorter.

Currently hosted locally via Sinatra; files available for download. Game screen not responsive, and meant to be viewed in a square screen if possible (tested fully on 727 x 727 px).

Not sure how to run this. Looks like a ruby web app? Hosting it somewhere would be very helpful.

It was fun getting this thing to run. I don't see why the ruby is necessary? I guess you're just used to the framework, but eh. I just copied the parts in the two layouts into an html file, put it on a local server, changed the permission of all the files required… And then I could run it. You should find a place to host it (without the unnecessary ruby) online, itch.io for example.

As for the game itself, less fun. Lots of bugs, lots of grinding, art not very coherent (I'd assume none of it is yours based on the looks of it). I got through to what I assume was the end when I beat Fear.

For 50 hours and a team of five, I'm not very impressed. But keep trying :)
