I'll just stick to instruction pages for the next LD :)"},{"author_name":"James Paige","author_uid":"4779","time":"Aug 25, 2011 @ 7:09pm","epoch":1314299040,"text":"I couldn't figure out any controls.

But to work it as a game you'd have to make it bit more complicated or provide very good levels and probably use some more goals then escaping (like distracting guards continuously while one escaped convict goes to open doors for others etc..)"},{"author_name":"johnfn","author_uid":"3187","time":"Aug 29, 2011 @ 5:11am","epoch":1314594360,"text":"The demo was agonizingly slow, but the rest of the game was much better. You should really look into that! Also, my general strategy was just to plant 1 peaceful protest and win, which seemed to work fine for me. Maybe you could make the gameplay more complex somehow?"}],"images":["ld21\/1535-4833bf1bdb77fdd0082beeec30515f79.jpg","ld21\/1535-c8a05c542b9fb4d8ec611f6dc602cd10.jpg","ld21\/1535-688c2bfc32c6897ae71b8519b2f1c386.jpg"],"links":[{"url":"http:\/\/www.catmoo.co.uk\/i_predict_a_riot_charlotte_woolley.zip","text":"Windows"},{"url":"http:\/\/www.catmoo.co.uk\/i_predict_a_riot_charlotte_woolley.zip","text":"Source"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"32361","g_author":"1535","g_event":"LD21","g_eventkey":"7","g_subevent":"JAM","g_urlkey":"32391","g_title":"I Predict a Riot","g_status":"UCHK1","g_place":"53","g_commentcount":"8","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\/\/62148\/1535-shot0.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/62148\/1535-shot1.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/62148\/1535-shot2.png-eq-900-500.jpg"],"text":"I Predict a Riot is not as funny as my usual LD entries, however similar to all my previous entries, it's not very much fun.\r\n\r\nYou are a high ranking prisoner in a prison, and its the night of the jailbreak. \r\n\r\nThe other prisoners have put you in charge of distracting the guards whilst the other escape.\r\n\r\nNo failure state, no real winning state. Just a concept really, I quite like it, but its taken me 72 hours and now I want rid of it!\r\n\r\nI noticed there was a bug in level 2 where the prisoners do not count as escaping, I'm looking into this.\r\n\r\nUnfortunately please be aware that the tutorial runs at a shocking framerate, however it improves there after, I am looking into optimising the tutorial.\r\n\r\nMade with Game Maker 8 and tested on Windows 7, I went a bit crazy with the screen size and its resolution is 1024,480.\r\n\r\nApologies, didn't add www. to entry link, can now download!<\/p>","title":"I Predict a Riot"}
