Yeah, it's exploration, but that doesn't excuse a game from being boring. Perhaps some narrative text\/sound could draw the player in more.\r\rPretty cool overall :3"},{"author_name":"Cezel_","author_uid":"30673","time":"Aug 25, 2014 @ 6:05pm","epoch":1408989600,"text":"The game really succeeded with making me go "What the-?!" with it's colorful creatures and worlds.

But. The main issue here, to me, is that the size of the levels in comparison to the effects and wtf-moments and general stuff the player encounters. The intro is also really quite long without being clear it is a cut-scene. If I hadn't happened to see that comment I would have though the game broken and shut off there. I like strange games, but this one simply didn't work for me and it wasn't for its strange parts."}],"images":["ld30\/21579-66b646b57b3616c8f91e74106f9ae2cd.jpg","ld30\/21579-ca8f40e8908f02a0cfcf60ae49ca56d8.jpg","ld30\/21579-f9917140f3416f788f8ff3f1db3d45d0.jpg","ld30\/21579-f1045c7b28e68b0b907164befcd98bf8.jpg","ld30\/21579-275d50288f3933a36b77526bdd47bbea.jpg"],"links":[{"url":"http:\/\/gamejolt.com\/games\/adventure\/journey-home\/33620\/","text":"Dropbox Runnable Jar Download (compatible with OSx, Windows, and Linux)"},{"url":"https:\/\/www.dropbox.com\/s\/c55vli77t8ll412\/JourneyHome-LD30V2.jar.zip?dl=0","text":"ZIP form - Dropbox Runnable Jar Download (compatible with OSx, Windows, and Linux)"},{"url":"https:\/\/www.dropbox.com\/sh\/dtfrve4l7qhh5hi\/AABHH20WnycKh5i2315Gm5rya?dl=0","text":"Dropbox Download of Jar (Source Code)"},{"url":"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCjywaHBImnId4GNZXAuejKg","text":"Youtube Channel"},{"url":"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/APeasantsTale","text":"Facebook Page"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"18044","g_author":"21579","g_event":"LD30","g_eventkey":"24","g_subevent":"COMPO","g_urlkey":"18073","g_title":"Journey Home","g_status":"UCHK1","g_place":"751","g_commentcount":"20","g_site2_node_id":"0","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":[],"node":null,"orig_images":["http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/375043\/21579-shot0.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/375043\/21579-shot1.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/375043\/21579-shot2.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/375043\/21579-shot3.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/375043\/21579-shot4.png-eq-900-500.jpg"],"text":"Hello there peoples of the Internets! This is my first ever Ludum Dare!\r\n\r\nOk so Journey Home is meant to be an exploration game. It's meant to challenge your imagination and make you go, \"What the-?!\" I tried to go for the Another World \/ Transall Saga vibe. Basically, you are presented with worlds that have small intricacies and patterns. They have nothing to do with you and are just a part of the background, but you still try to understand them and even make up stories for what they are or why they are there.\r\n\r\nThe game features my first ever attempt at procedural tile and entity sprite coloring\/generation! :D\r\n\r\nI've left a lot of subtle patterns and things in this game so I do suggest you look around and take your time when playing it.\r\n\r\nThe only controls are the arrow keys to move, shift + arrow keys to sprint, and the mouse... oh, and you IIIMAAAAAAAGINAAAAATIOOOOONNNN :P\r\n\r\nAlso quick note! You can't move during cutscenes - don't worry it's not a bug :)\r\n\r\nI had a lot of fun and learned a lot with making this strange, strange little game, even if it was unfinished.\r\n\r\nALSO, I have an actual team making a more serious game and I make weekly devlogs videos of our progress. You can check it out here: https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCjywaHBImnId4GNZXAuejKg\r\n\r\nIf you like that then please feel free to like our game's facebook page: https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/APeasantsTale","title":"Journey Home"}
