Sky Blue by Johnsensei

made by Johnsensei for LD 44 (JAM)

Every decision in life has a cost of life in the form of HP. Guide John around town as he looks for a new apartment and a job. Survive for 12 months to win the game.

I composed the music but all sound effects were built into RPG Maker. Therefore I'm opting out of being rated for audio.

Great take on the theme, also the game has a great sense of humor.

I'm a little baffled why going to a job should cost life? Anyway, I just picked the first apartment and job I ran across and did them over and over until the twelve months were up. Not much of a game here.

@ryusui Thanks for the feedback, which is accurate and fair. I realized the same thing when I started testing: that it can just be a bit of a slog through the 12 months. That's on me for just not dedicating enough time to the project over the jam. It was planned to have friends and dates you could spend time with who could drain or add to HP, just like the jobs and apartments.

I think those mechanics with some progressing narrative would have made it interesting. But since the jam is over, I'm technically not allowed to add new features. So I have to accept the incompleteness of it for now.

I did a postmortem video of this Ludum Dare 44 project:
