Surprised Man completes the game Jam, feels proud.

Hello again.

Well, that was fun, wasn’t it? My friend Kieran and I, under the name Surprised Man, entered the Game Jam and produced The Wager, a game all about exploring a randomly generated map of islands and returning to dock with information about what you find on them to sell onto prospective colonists. We’re really pleased with what we put together for the 72 hours and plan on getting a lot more content into the game that we just didn’t have time to include in this release. I mean, who wouldn’t be pleased with a game with an island name generator that gives such names as:

I hope you like our game, we worked very hard on it, enjoyed the whole process and look forward to adding more loot, unique encounters and other such things in the near future!

Oh man, that sounds exactly like the game I wished I’d made as soon as I started mine! Mine ended up having little to do with discovery, and I kept thinking the perfect Discovery game would be one where you travel to randomly generated islands. Grabbing it now, I’ll give you some feedback once I’ve played.
