This is a kind of game I can see myself spending a lot of time playing! I seemed to have an issue with some enemies not dying, or becoming untargetable though, which confused me. It was also a bit difficult to micromanage 10 teams of adventurers at the same time ^^' with some polish I can see it being a very addicting casual game! :D","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":951537,"author_name":"Furtive Pygmy","author_uid":"furtive-pygmy","epoch":1683061713,"text":"Nice!  \nI feel like it maybe needs a bit more of an explanation on what to do, ideally a tutorial in a non-jam setting.  \nArt and music is really good, and the gameplay is good once you understand the concept.  \nGreat entry.","format":"md","likes":0,"spam":"N"},{"id":960699,"author_name":"Cleoh","author_uid":"cleoh","epoch":1683160618,"text":"I like the visuals, the audio and the mood in general. I think it's also pretty impressive on the technical side for something made in three days. But honestly i can't really enjoy playing it : unless i missed something, there's nothing i can do to help on fights, there's no use for what adventurers find when scavenging, there's nothing special to points of interest like villages or graveyards...  It just feels like something is missing, and it's probably quite normal for this kind of game in such a short jam.","format":"md","likes":0,"spam":"N"},{"id":970612,"author_name":"StrangerYann","author_uid":"strangeryann","epoch":1683377628,"text":"this reminds me of an old game we did for an old LD --- on one hand it's really impressive because it's really detailed and there's stats and it's like a FF game in a nutshell, so much to do! --- on the other it felt to me like I didn't have so much control at all --- except telling the teams where to go and what to loot and the speed at which the battles were happening --- eventually the team has no more HP and, well... bad luck! --- couldn't really figure out how to get over that part --- or the cemetaries, for that matter ^^#--- I'd advise focus on 1 mechanic or 2 next time, having a whole entire game that's happerning within the game and that people can't control directly is actually a bit frustrating --- I think --- anywhom, impressive nonetheless, keep it up :-) :sparkles:","format":"md","likes":0,"spam":"N"}],"format":"md","images":["ldjam-media\/sha256\/1c\/1c0b8f3ca4c9b8287a6eddc19fcc167e98bd5760b55b51c46f54822699c74e63.png"],"links":[{"url":"https:\/\/frankiesmileshow.itch.io\/fortune-footsteps","text":"Link"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"88006","g_author":"1012729","g_event":"LD53","g_eventkey":"118","g_subevent":"JAM","g_urlkey":"407782","g_title":"Fortune Footsteps","g_status":"WAYBACK","g_place":"99999","g_commentcount":"5","g_site2_node_id":"338377","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":{"n_key":"338377","n_urlkey":"407782","n_parent":"332127","n_path":"\/events\/ludum-dare\/53\/fortune-footsteps","n_slug":"fortune-footsteps","n_type":"item","n_subtype":"game","n_subsubtype":"jam","n_author":"12729","n_created":"1682384058","n_modified":"1778430687","n_version":"1139491","n_status":"WAYBACK"},"node":{"_collation":{"body_sanitizer":"TextUtils::SanitizeHTML via existing importer","event":"LD53","removed_author":false},"_superparent":9,"_trust":7,"author":12729,"body":"(NOTE: if the mouse wheel messes with your browser's scrolling when playing the embed above, check out the itch.io link below instead, it plays a bit better there!)\n\nManage an adventurers' guild, sending groups of warriors to their deaths!\n\nLeft click selects adventurers, right click sends them to adventure.\nWASD moves the view.
