melancholy by Domixltu2

[raw]
made by Domixltu2 for LD 43 (JAM)

Talking And Bunny.png a weird walking simulator more then a game. hope you enjoy. made by yours trully https://twitter.com/TheHopelessPhi1 and Luke @luqey (youll know his last name if you finish) use arrow keys to move and enter to bark. The theme should be a hint about what's happening, also the ways to achieve the two endings. Cabin Aestetic.png

Nice game

However, it doesn't really feel like a game. Just like some animation or something. I really like the graphics and audio, however I didn't really understand the plot of the game (Why did the dog have to die? :cry: ) I wish it was longer to be honest. Nice graphics and audio though! I just feel like the game could need some more 'game' to it if you understand :smiley:

@procezz I understand the way you felt about it being an animation, I agree that the gameplay was lackluster. I appreciate what you said about my art and music! Next jam we'll try to add a more interactive experience!

Well I don't really have much to add. It does feel more like an animation, none the less I really do like the art style and the story itself was interesting. Can't wait to see what you'll make next Ludum Dare!

@august1413 Thank you for the feedback! About it being an animation, I totally agree.

I can't say this was fun, but it did evoke a mood. I - appreciated - the experience, though I wish it was a bit more interactive.
Luqey
03. Dec 2018 · 19:34 UTC
@f4kethis I totally understand, next game jam I hope to make a more interactive experience! Thanks for your feedback!

Why Fluke! :cry:

Though I felt this like an interactive animation rather than a game itself, but I like how you managed depression theme.
Luqey
03. Dec 2018 · 20:05 UTC
@sapphiris I appreciate your kind words! And yeah it is more of a animation, I've been getting that a lot, but it's true. Next jam I hope to make a more interactive game!

Really like themes like this.
Too bad it there is not a lot to do but that ending was very well done! Felt shocking haha.
Cool art style too.
More interaction would be better.
Luqey
03. Dec 2018 · 23:07 UTC
@kyon Yea it does fall off in game play, but I'm glad you found the plot and art intriguing!

As i said on stream, more than a game i saw this as a short animation, but an amazing one! and that twist at the end, just wow, great great job, keep doing these :D

It was very interesting to see the dialogue and what was going on inside the characters mind. The dialogue felt very realistic, good job!

@nelson-william Totally understandable!

:O Fluke!!! Nooo!!
Interesting short game. I actually wasn't aware you could move the dog until part-way through the second level lol. I enjoyed the music and art, though it would have been cool to jump maybe.
Giome
05. Dec 2018 · 19:25 UTC
The art style is simple but god I love it! Music is great too!
BUT WHY DID FLUKE HAVE TO DIE?! :cry:
Luqey
05. Dec 2018 · 19:27 UTC
@rebecca-kremer thank you so much, that means a lot! I worked hard on the music and art! You know what's funny, I had my programmer @domixltu2 remove the jumping, and now here is someone wanting jumping XD
Luqey
05. Dec 2018 · 19:29 UTC
@giome Ahhhh you all are way too nice! Fluke had to die so save his depressed owner! He had to make the sacrifice :`O

a little secret, there's a second ending if you don't go to him...

Fluke RIP [*]. I think this intro is too long :wink: :wink:
🎤 Domixltu2
07. Dec 2018 · 10:37 UTC
@falak true that xD
And jump could have been an awesome way to get the player to know who they are controlling, plus visible movement speed ig xD

Cool graphics and audio! I'd like to see you expand and add some content to give it a more game-like feel post game jam!

Game was like an animation or cutscene. There was sure a plot twist but I am not sure that there was a plot.

Yay, I survived! Seems like I got a different ending than most people...

Great style and mood.

@jimbly indeed you did get a different ending then most!

Do you have a WebGL version? Thanks!
Luqey
11. Dec 2018 · 01:52 UTC
@mertios I do not, I wanted to but i could never figure out how to do it, sorry for the inconvenience.
Mertios
11. Dec 2018 · 01:56 UTC
@luqey That's okay! What engine are you using? Unity?
Luqey
11. Dec 2018 · 01:57 UTC
@mertios yes I used unity for this project.
Mertios
11. Dec 2018 · 02:47 UTC
@luqey Okay, so if you want to make a WebGL build you go **File > Build Settings**, then you select WebGL and let Unity reimport everything. Then you click on **Build And Run**. Make sure that everything else on your computer is closed when doing this, WebGL builds are pretty processor intensive. Finally, find the folder that you've built to and zip its contents (not the folder.) You can then upload that to itch.io. Hope this helps, and good luck!

Not really a game, but it deserves not 5 but 10 stars for the mood :star: The music was on point, and sound effects are realistic. I hope you didn't fired a real gun in your backyard :stuck_out_tongue:

Taking the dog's perspective really helps this hit home. Great delivery overall.
