Hope by commodoreKid

[raw]
made by commodoreKid for LD33 (JAM)
Hope is the name of a 7 year old girl who had to split her ways with her mother in a mysterious manner. The last thing her mother told her was "They think you are a monster, it's dangerous, you have to go." Her mother than puts her on a raft and she ends up in a small village in the middle of nowhere.

***ATTENTION: THIS GAME IS NOT COMPLETE. I'M VERY SORRY BUT I"M VERY BAD AT PROGRAMMING. I HOPE YOU CAN STILL ENJOY. THERE IS 1 DIALOGUE TO INITIATE, 1 ITEM TO PICK UP AND SEVERAL OBJECTS TO LOOK AT.***

The game is made for 16x9 aspect ratio and tested on 1920x1080 resolution so if you have any clicking problems, try this resolution.

LEFT CLICK - Walk (to empty spaces), Look At (objects), Examine (inventory), Skip Dialogue
RIGHT CLICK - Pick Up (objects), Use (inventory)
MIDDLE MOUSE BUTTON - Rotate Camera

Everything except dialogue system and music are made by me, Anil Demir in 3 days. Nothing ready.
Dialogue system by Jerome Bretheau
Music by Kai Engel, Alan Singley

Enjoy!

There definitely isn't much to this as it stands, but I really like the atmosphere and look of this.

Nice art, that title screen was beautiful. Liked the mood of the game and would be good to see this expanded upon.

Good job on the atmosphere, the simplistic graphics and soothing audio goes well together. I would say that using the mouse makes the movement a bit clunky.

Very good art (and good use of prefabs, from the looks of it). Music was pretty good too! Story made me curious, but I guess it's not quite done yet. Worth finishing!

The fact of a unfinished game is sad. But is really great job! Keep it going!

hey! I tried your game on Windows. Don't know why the start screen just doesn't do anything :/

I finally made it! I had to change the resolution to full hd and although the PLAY button didn't work yet, I just clicked randomly on the scrteen until the game started :-)
I loved the graphics and mood, but the character tends to get stuck in certain places. Nothing major, though. Good job!

The low poly art looks so gorgeous!
To bad is unfinished, I was interested in the story.
There's some problems like the play button not working and movement could be more fluid.
And I hope you continue to work on this, because I want to know more about this world.

the graphics as well as mood are well done and the story left me interested. I was a bit disappointed to see that there is only one dialogue... I would definitely play a completed post-compo version!

I could barely hear any audio. The controls were hard to use as she is not going where clicked. The graphics are really nice, and the concept, even if fairly usual, is nice

I've seen screenshots of this during the weekend and was eager to try it since the art is really nice.
Music is good as well. Too bad you didn't get the time to add more content. Maybe later? :)

The audio was a bit too quiet for me to really hear.
The graphics were beautiful. And it seems like the start of a great story too.

Well done!

Pretty and atmospheric, but not much content as noted. Could do with some SFX as well. I'd like to see what this could have been if it was finished.

The music is lovely, but it's a shame there's no real gameplay in it so far.

As a suggestion, you could try making it so that holding down the left mouse button makes Hope walk in the direction of the cursor. That would reduce the amount of clicking the players require.

Beautiful meditative game.
Love to see a point&click adventure on LD. :)

Strange bug when I right click on the well. Girl teleports far away and walks to the well again. The same when I right click on the stairs up. Mouse event work (and game starts) only when app is windowed...

I would like to play this cute game when it's done. :)

Very good walking system for a LD game. Character is also animated. I guess you spent too much in posihing that stuff. Anyways, good job! I would like to see the full game!

My Mac can't open .rar without third-party-software. Would be nicer as .dmg or .app solo.

Update: after unpacking, it seems not to run on OSX at all. It doesnt start up, no error, no exception. Just nothing.
