READ ME! \r\n------------------- \r\n- This game makes you express opinions on sensible matters : patriotism, healthcare, kids education, race and religions...\r\n\r\n------------------------ \r\nWhat Kind of game is it? \r\n------------------------ \r\nA narrative game.\r\nYou are facing an audience, and need to impose your ideas. Start with a friendly chat in a bar, and end up rulling the country.\r\n\r\n-------------- \r\nKnown problems \r\n-------------- \r\n- For some reason most of the sounds are not playing AT ALL in the release version. And those who are playing don't fade correctly and stop randomly. I will investigate that first thing in the morning, I believe it is the kind of bug i am allowed to fix after the deadline.\r\n- Graphical glitches if you are too quick to click\r\n\r\n----------- \r\nTools Used \r\n----------- \r\nHaxe and HaxeFlixel \r\nAsh (Entity Component framework for haxe) \r\nFreesounds.net - sounds (not running for the sound categorie)\r\nInkscape and Paint.net - graphics \r\n\r\n-----------\r\nPersonal note\r\n-----------\r\nSight... 11 compo entry in a row, and I break it with a Jam entry. Out of nowhere! \r\nI only started to work on this game sunday, around noon, so except for the sounds (which are CC0, despite not even playing... Grrr) this is pretty much what I would have submitted in the Compo.\r\nBut still, a sad face for the broken streak =>  :(\r\n","title":"The Orator"}
