Also it seems like there should be some sort of feedback when you might be close to turning friends into enemies, it kind of seems random when it happens."},{"author_name":"zwets","author_uid":"7986","time":"Dec 20, 2011 @ 6:39am","epoch":1324362840,"text":"Nice, I like the concept! I must admit I have difficulty with 3d navigation. Maybe a 2D version would be easier to play with?"},{"author_name":"EddieCameron","author_uid":"4158","time":"Dec 20, 2011 @ 5:43pm","epoch":1324402680,"text":"Yes, it is rather laggy unfortunately, I had no time to optimise it. They should blink before they change though...\r<br\/>I'm finishing up a post-compo build in the next few days, with a tutorial, sound, and hopefully better code"},{"author_name":"Ashkin","author_uid":"1722","time":"Dec 21, 2011 @ 2:04am","epoch":1324432740,"text":"The game is too laggy to be enjoyable, I'm afraid. Also, the navigation in 3D space was difficult and I think the concept could've worked just as well in 2D. The abstract graphics were plain and made it hard to judge depth properly, but they worked. The game idea is fairly innovative, and I'd like to see what you could come up with if you worked a little harder on it."},{"author_name":"Pierrec","author_uid":"1874","time":"Dec 31, 2011 @ 5:12pm","epoch":1325351220,"text":"It is difficult to play and get the mecanics but it's very charming and quite innovating!"},{"author_name":"RobProductions","author_uid":"7405","time":"Jan 5, 2012 @ 10:30pm","epoch":1325802300,"text":"Wasn't laggy for me... The mechanics are a little hard, and I think it should've had lock cursor, to keep the mouse in the play area. Good idea though, and I like the simplicity of the stars!"}],"images":["ld22\/4158-9c500f04ac0a049985d8f51b8cfb15ea.jpg","ld22\/4158-48c7ac489f6790de6c40dc2900eeaea0.jpg"],"links":[{"url":"http:\/\/dl.dropbox.com\/u\/1156317\/AloneWeb\/AloneWeb.html","text":"Web - Unity"},{"url":"http:\/\/dl.dropbox.com\/u\/1156317\/ThisCharmingMan_Win.zip","text":"Win"},{"url":"http:\/\/dl.dropbox.com\/u\/1156317\/ThisCharmingMan_OSX.zip","text":"Mac"},{"url":"http:\/\/dl.dropbox.com\/u\/1156317\/ThisCharmingManSource.zip","text":"Source"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"31508","g_author":"4158","g_event":"LD22","g_eventkey":"8","g_subevent":"COMPO","g_urlkey":"31538","g_title":"This Charming Man","g_status":"UCHK1","g_place":"413","g_commentcount":"7","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\/\/87574\/4158-shot0.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/87574\/4158-shot1.png-eq-900-500.jpg"],"text":"Make everyone friends\r\n\r\nFriends stick together, while nasty people drive them apart\r\n\r\nA bit of charm or even hostility in the right place can bring people together\r\n\r\nCharming and repulsing people can be hard work though\r\n\r\nReplenish your energy by hanging around your friends, but be careful, taking too much can turn people against you\r\n\r\nWSAD + mouse to move\r\nMouse buttons or Q\/E to attract\/repel\r\n\r\nby Eddie Cameron | @eddiecameron | grapefruitgames.com\r\n\r\n<\/p>","title":"This Charming Man"}
