Personal Space by ryan123rudder

[raw]
made by ryan123rudder for LD 42 (JAM)

You play the part of an introvert at a party. People make you uncomfortable. Avoid them at all costs.

If you are to near people, you will get more anxious. If you hide in the bathroom for too long, you feel like people are judging you, and you get more anxious. If somebody tries to talk to you, you get more anxious. The dog is pretty okay, though. Keep yourself from panicking before the end of the party, and keep your personal space clear, and you will be just fine.

Just. Stay. Calm.

We made a game about personal space too. It's a really nice concept to explore in games. Your game has the mood. It would habe been nice if thee were sone description of the mechanics. Somehow my personal space run out in the bathroom.

@ocekat3 Yeah.... when i designed the main room there were supposed to be a kitchen and a bedroom, serving a similar function to the bathroom, but with slightly different mechanics. Only issue is i ran out of time, and wasn't able to change the main room back. Sorry for the confusion and thanks for the rate!

@limered Played your game and loved it...great job! Thanks for the feedback... There was a discription of the mechanics at the start of the game, right after the main menu, but it's easy to look over... That meter isn't your personal space, it's your anxiety. it was supposed to show that you were getting anxious that people are judging you for being in the bathroom for so long... Interesting thing is I actually talked to somebody with social anxiety to come up with a lot of the mechanics for this game! Thanks for the votes!!!

Seems that we thought of the same theme to explore, **personal space**! :)) I could not try your game because I am on mac only :o

But if you'd like you can try out my game :)

@ryan123rudder it seems that the port didn't work. It should be a `.dmg` file, there is no way I can open this :P

@ryan123rudder No need to apologise xD But I was thinking. Can you maybe record a small gif or video and have in your description? :)

I like the concept, i think it has potential. The sprites could use a walk cycle so they look a little less stiff. With this style you could get away with a 3 frame walk. Good effort.

Hi, good job here.

i have few notes : The build up, and the art does not really fit together imo. When i move, i feel more like dancing like the other people than avoiding them.

Few games here treating the theme in a similar way : /roomys-room - /panic-attack-at-the-party .

good luck
