DYRKAN by ankan

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

The Crew:

This is the first time we band togheter to make a game, for some of us its their first game. We decided to take it easy as the gamejam started in the middle of the night and we had some other things planned during the weekend / work on monday aswell.

Zinarch

Ideas, Lore, Art and Programming all in one ;P

BecoPeco

Giraffes i mean ART!

ankan

Programming so much programming.... and Animating and SFX... if i die.. please remove my collider.

The Game:

A game about an/several (depending on your luck/wit) aspiring demon worshipper/s trying to appease its master not knowing what will make their bond stronger.!

Each "round" you are presented two choices, depending on the traits your demon has the choice you make might be the last one this worshipper ever makes (in which you just generate a new one becouse we got lots of them... litterary..).

Traits are depicted as icons of the seven sins under the demons name on the top of your screen. newsplash.PNGcredits.PNG sacrifice.PNG

The font made it really hard to read anything. I kept reading "Noise Number" on the top right, until I took a closer look. Also, the jokes you make when you choose cards are funny, but again, making them hard to read ruins the experience. Nice Particle System, though! :)

The font could be a bit more readable, but overall a really good entry!

You should really change the font. At first I thought the game was in some other language, but it was the font.

Totally agree on the font part! It was an crippling oversight hahaha

This was a lot of fun! But yea, like everyone said the font was a little tough to make out. It Worked great as a title font, but switching to a regular serif font would have probably been better. Nice work! :)

I really liked how the font made the game appear to be in some old language.

This is a neat little thing. It feels like something like this could be a cool way to start (or level up in) an RPG where you have demon given powers. Depending on your choices you would have different states/abilities to reflect what you sacrificed.

Maybe those decisions could also have consequences in the game story progression too as people would dislike you for sacrificing people.

The gameplay is very... repetetive? xD
Your art skills are amazing! And the music fits the theme of the game as well!

This was funny with all those puns, although a bit confusing as to how I managed to actually appease the demon. Maybe it was all the eyes I sacrificed :laughing: Not sure if it's supposed to happen but got the same two cards 3 times a row so I guess that made my path to being friends with the demon a bit easier.

Some really (cruel) humor around here x) Nice concept and cool mood in my opinion. Congrats!

Neat game.
I enjoyed the art and the humour.
Minor caveat: sometimes I could not read what the worshipper said because the text changed to quickly.
Otherwise well done.
