Memories From Darkness by HakunaSatonaka

[raw]
made by HakunaSatonaka for LD25 (JAM)
In a playable state. We had too high ambition and ended up only having 1/4 of planned features. Also, those dialogue boxes were supposed to have some cut scene animations in between, but since we're running out of time, so yeah...

It's a 2D platformer game, a story about Brett who had lost his memory and met John, whom they planned to stop the evil scientist... or the other way around... Wanna know why is this story made for the theme 'You are the villain'? Keep reading the dialogues to find out...

This game is made in Game Maker 8.0 Pro and Game Maker 8.1 Lite for level designing. I used a platformer engine and dialogue box engine to speed up the process, but still couldn't achieve that with our game's high ambition... But anyway, it is still playable with a lot of missing features. We're planning to finish this game in the future for release.

P.S.: Our second Ludum Dare Jam, first time to actually finished a playable game.

To all the players:
When the dialog appears, use the space bar, otherwise using enter will just skip the whole dialog and render the game uncomprehhendable.

The humor had its moments, but was overall dry. The audio is rather nice, though some somber violin music would've made it perfect.

Also, when jumping, if you jump again in mid-air the sound plays again, but no second jump occurs.

It's nice to see an interesting story in a jam game but the combat suffers a bit. I found myself running past enemies when I could. Also liked the framed animations. Although the orange text was difficult to read.

"Unexpected error occurred when running the game."

That's all I get, I can't start it up or anything.
