It was a little confusing right at the beginning, but then everything clicked and I was able to go around collecting and combining. I didn't get the connection to summoning early on until I combined my first crystal and then I was like \"oooh.\" I enjoyed the eerie music. I'm not sure why the player is forced out of the crafting\/sent back to the crafting when the day is up. Is there time pressure? Maybe I missed it, but I was just re-entering the crafting after it kicked me out because I still had more to try. It was a bit annoying unless I only had a specific amount of days or something. I was able to get into a new body, but there sure was more to discover. It certainly feels like you were able to put a lot into the game for a jam game.","format":"md","likes":5,"spam":"N"},{"id":1039357,"author_name":"naomiajacobs","author_uid":"naomiajacobs","epoch":1713241908,"text":"@cody-holt thanks for the feedback! Honestly, we probably could get rid of the timing mechanism - it's a holdover from when we thought we'd have the game take a limited number of days. We later decided it was more fun to have the core of the game be to work through the crafting tree \/ exploring more than being time-pressured, but we didn't think to actually remove them haha. If we ever made this into a real game we'd probably let you switch between the two modes freely.","format":"md","likes":4,"spam":"N"},{"id":1039849,"author_name":"Adam Gallina","author_uid":"adam-gallina","epoch":1713247358,"text":"I was not expecting the depth of this at all when I started!

And the demon was not happy about it.\n\nI like the idea of the two phases, I wanted to make a game like that myself before (feast on villagers during the night, build a fortress during the day) but ran out of time before even half was done. Implementing both of them and making them interlinked in the way they were was really engaging. I'm glad there was a time limit just because otherwise I would've spent way too long outside exploring, but then also not sure it added anything to the crafting section.\n\nI enjoyed my playthrough, but after I lost I didn't want to do all of that again to have another attempt, so stopped there.","format":"md","likes":5,"spam":"N"},{"id":1047068,"author_name":"nyanpierre","author_uid":"nyanpierre","epoch":1713292835,"text":"I didn't expect to spend so much time on the game, I found myself going through house\/night cycles, collecting the most resources and trying different combinations to see what I could get.

This is an unintentional bug that we think actually makes it more fun to try again.\n\n#### Itch link\nIf it doesn't play well on LD, try it on Itch: https:\/\/zenovy.itch.io\/incorporeal\n\n### Credits\n* All: Game Concept, Level Design\n* Naomi: Art, Crafting Tree\n* Reed (@norseboargames): Programming, Writing\n* Rory: Programming, Writing, Music","title":"Incorporeal","wayback_recovered":true,"wayback_source":{"capture":{"original":"https:\/\/api-jam.ludumdare.com\/vx\/node2\/get\/391501+391502+391503+391504+391505+391506+391507+391508+391509+391510+391511+391512+391513+391514+391515+391516+391517+391518+391519+391520+391521+391522+391523+391524+391525+391526+391527+391528+391529+391530+391531+391532+391533+391534+391535+391536+391537+391538+391539+391540+391541+391542+391543+391544+391545+391546+391547+391548+391549+391550+391551+391552+391553+391554+391555+391556+391557+391558+391559+391560+391561+391562+391563+391564+391565+391566+391567+391568+391569+391570+391571+391572+391573+391574+391575+391576+391577+391578+391579+391580+391581+391582+391583+391584+391585+391586+391587+391588+391589+391590+391591+391592+391593+391594+391595+391596+391597+391598+391599+391600+391601+391602+391603+391604+391605+391606+391607+391608+391609+391610+391611+391612+391613+391614+391615+391616+391617+391618+391619+391620+391621+391622+391623+391624+391625+391626+391627+391628+391629+391630+391631+391632+391633+391634+391635+391636+391637+391638+391639+391640+391641+391642+391643+391644+391645+391646+391647+391648+391649+391650+391651+391652+391653+391654+391655+391656+391657+391658+391659+391660+391661+391662+391663+391664+391665+391666+391667+391668+391669+391670+391671+391672+391673+391674+391675+391676+391677+391678+391679+391680+391681+391682+391683+391684+391685+391686+391687+391688+391689+391690+391691+391692+391693+391694+391695+391696+391697+391698+391699+391700+391701+391702+391703+391704+391705+391706+391707+391708+391709+391710+391711+391712+391713+391714+391715+391716+391717+391718+391719+391720+391721+391722+391723+391724+391725+391726+391727+391728+391729+391730+391731+391732+391733+391734+391735+391736+391737+391738+391739+391740+391741+391742+391743+391744+391745+391746+391747+391748+391749+391750+391751+391752+391753+391754+391755+391756+391757+391758+391759+391760+391761+391762+391763+391764+391765+391766+391767+391768+391769+391770+391771+391772+391773+391774+391775+391776+391777+391778+391779+391780+391781+391782+391783+391784+391785+391786+391787+391788+391789+391790+391791+391792+391793+391794+391795+391796+391797+391798+391799+391800+391801+391802+391803+391804+391805+391806+391807+391808+391809+391810+391811+391812+391813+391814+391815+391816+391817+391818+391819+391820+391821+391822+391823+391824+391825+391826+391827+391828+391829+391830+391831+391832+391833+391834+391835+391836+391837+391838+391839+391840+391841+391842+391843+391844+391845+391846+391847+391848+391849+391850+391851+391852+391853+391854+391855+391856+391857+391858+391859+391860+391861+391862+391863+391864+391865+391866+391867+391868+391869+391870+391871+391872+391873+391874+391875+391876+391877+391878+391879+391880+391881+391882+391883+391884+391885+391886+391887+391888+391889+391890+391891+391892+391893+391894+391895+391896+391897+391898+391899+391900+391901+391902+391903+391904+391905+391906+391907+391908+391909+391910+391911+391912+391913+391914+391915+391916+391917+391918+391919+391920+391921+391922+391923+391924+391925+391926+391927+391928+391929+391930+391931+391932+391933+391934+391935+391936+391937+391938+391939+391940+391941+391942+391943+391944+391945+391946+391947+391948+391949+391950+391951+391952+391953+391954+391955+391956+391957+391958+391959+391960+391961+391962+391963+391964+391965+391966+391967+391968+391969+391970+391971+391972+391973+391974+391975+391976+391977+391978+391979+391980+391981+391982+391983+391984+391985+391986+391987+391988+391989+391990+391991+391992+391993+391994+391995+391996+391997+391998+391999+392000?authors&parents&superparent"},"object":"objects\/sha256\/4b\/4b3ade460e3903824d25712ef96407504decb0c1cccf0902927a381a95273aea","record":"shard-3\/json-live-urgent-v3\/records\/5d1755393d6c736fe8141a1d675ded4de797ea6045e71e68636328db58ac8987.json","sha256":"4b3ade460e3903824d25712ef96407504decb0c1cccf0902927a381a95273aea","source":"https","stored_at":1784022483}}
