The story is gripping and deep, and there are many endings, from dying from a snakebite in the jungle over getting promoted as writer and film star to being a free man on his own farm (I did certainly not catch all possible :grin:)\nI first expected interactive fiction with Twine, but this is written in Godot with an self built UI and framework around? Congrats, that is even more work. I liked it!\nGood job!\n(btw: you need to give ratings to others to be more visible on the games list :wink:)","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Dining Philosopher","author_uid":"1002257","time":"2019-04-30T21:14:47Z","epoch":1556658887,"modified":1556659018,"text":"@zondarg Thanks! I knew Twine and other tools specific for this type of game existed but never looked at them very closely. From what I remember they were a bit limited in UI options, and I'm not sure how flexible they are in terms of conditional events. This LD did give me a lot of inspiration to make a Godot template and perhaps make more elaborate, \"juiced up\" games like this in the future. From what you said, I think there are at least two major endings that you missed ;) BTW, I see you also used Godot for your game, why didn't you add an HTML5 export?","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"zondarg","author_uid":"1000678","time":"2019-05-03T15:45:06Z","epoch":1556898306,"modified":1556898306,"text":"@dining-philosopher The exported HTML5 did first not work correctly, in the meanwhile I have found out why (do not use \"fullscreen\" setting when exporting for web) and put it on itch.io to play.","likes":0,"format":"md"}],"format":"md","images":["ld44\/144270-4aa32d8e5f6f9ea713296ea2196b77ca.png"],"links":[{"url":"http:\/\/jellenauta.com\/games\/LudumDare\/LD44","text":"HTML5 (web)"},{"url":"http:\/\/jellenauta.com\/games\/LudumDare\/LD44_src","text":"Source code"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"45425","g_author":"1002257","g_event":"LD44","g_eventkey":"75","g_subevent":"JAM","g_urlkey":"256508","g_title":"Slave Story","g_status":"USEAR3","g_place":"99999","g_commentcount":"3","g_site2_node_id":"144270","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0.788821"},"nds":{"n_key":"144270","n_urlkey":"256508","n_parent":"139254","n_path":"\/events\/ludum-dare\/44\/slave-story","n_slug":"slave-story","n_type":"item","n_subtype":"game","n_subsubtype":"jam","n_author":"2257","n_created":"1556025773","n_modified":"1556590890","n_version":"460865","n_status":"COMMIT"},"node":{"id":144270,"parent":139254,"superparent":9,"author":2257,"type":"item","subtype":"game","subsubtype":"jam","published":"2019-04-29T01:57:30Z","created":"2019-04-23T13:22:53Z","modified":"2019-04-30T02:21:30Z","version":460865,"slug":"slave-story","name":"Slave Story","body":"## So what are we having?\n\nThe text-based tribulations of a slave who is born on a cotton plantation.\n\n## Instructions\n\n**Use the arrow keys and enter to pick an option.**\n\nYour choices have consequences, there are about seven different endings and countless bugs.
