Crossover: Fanfiction by Cosrnos

[raw]
made by Cosrnos for LD30 (JAM)
You are a starving artist with the lifelong dream of running a Crossover fanfiction empire! To start, you'll create stories on your own and generate pageviews for your website, which has ads that generate income for you. Over time, you'll hire your first employee, move to an actual office and get hordes of followers!

------------

This is My 4th entry into the ludum dare, DecayConstant's 2nd and Yonbeastie's 1st. We all work together and decided to team up and make something cool. We built this with EmberJS, which is a bit unconventional but did the trick.

We'd love to hear your comments and criticism! Tweet us your best synopsis and let us know what characters/situations you'd like to see!

**NOTE: This does not work on mobile. Sorry :(

I like how it auto generates stories. I wish it was more deep and graphic. I hope the Developer continues working on this.

That was pretty great. Pokemon-Sherlock romantic comedy crossover was the best.

"Elrond has to learn to love again after losing the family in an accident. Elrond draws strength to move forward when Link and a lovable pup take Elrond to Ikana Canyon for a renewed lesson in the power of faith."

10/10

You're going to win the humor category.

Hahahaha, dang this is really funny.
I'd love to see you add some more content to this, and also make it a little more challenging.

I really got sucked into this =P Very enjoyable concept and surprisingly complex. I like that you can work on a project together with your staff but i missed the feedback on how much buzz an individual story is generating and how the capabilities of you and your co-workers played into it.

The stories it generates are really funny! The gameplay itself needs to be enhanced though. 5 for humor!

Yeah, it was actually too hard to make money for most of development, but I made a last minute bugfix+balancing adjustment that made it way too easy. Balancing is hard!

This game was too hard.

No but really the design is beautiful. the gameplay is lacking because the only thing that makes these types of games good is balance, which this obviously doesnt have a lot of.
but what it DOES have is amazing for only a 48 hour time period! Generated stories for every combination, and not even once did i see 2 of the same template text, thats amazing. so good job!

Very creative idea and interpretation of Connected Worlds!

Why is the income shown as per day, but the expenses shown as per week, though? :P

Hahahaha hilarious and horrifying. Here's one of mine.

"Sue Sylvester is the new captain of Shrek's Swamp's cheer squad and finds out last year's cheer captain stole all the best routines from Matress Land's school. An intense rivalry with Fairy Godmother leads to a new friendship when they compete at nationals for the golden Artie's wheelchair."

Ahahah and my first employee had like 30 creativity and 4 grammer. Join up with the crossover fanfic biz! Nothing can go wrong!!

Great play. :)

What a neat concept. I'm bummed my Chrono Trigger/Wonder Years crossover titled "The Wonder what Years" didn't make me much money though. Good job.

Hi there. Dammit now I want to write Doctor Who crossover with Hamlet. Fun game you made there, I did not expect you to actually generate the text, thought it would just be a resource management/strategy. Much fun! Good job!

Amazing! Oh, you made my day. C:

This wasn't a game for my type of play, so I'm going to try give some thoughts in case you wish to pursue this idea further:
- visuals would be fun
- I'd like book writing to happen faster (heh)
- I'm not sure, but "hiring a team member" didn't seem what I'd like to do... I'd rather spend money on something else (dunno, like "better pen" or "excellent paper" or "old typewriter" and whatnot).
