Game Design Simulator 98 by radmars

[raw]
made by radmars for Ludum Dare 45 (JAM)

We've built a leading edge Interactive Design Environment leveraging a world-class AI assistant. We'll help you design and tell your story with a guided story editor, graphics editor and audio recording system.

Note:

  • Some versions of chrome won't let the AI assistant speak by default. Sorry, we didn't have time to fix that. Firefox seems to work well.
  • We'll need your microphone to record audio, please click "allow" when the prompt comes up or the application will not be able to proceed.
  • Fullscreen & headphones recommended for optimal game design experience.

If we try to make a scary game. The pictures are really really scary. I really enjoyed this game. Initially it starts slow of at a not so good phase but after sometime this becomes reaally good. Great game-play. Great effort.

Well, I don't even know if I finished this game, or if the game have finished me, or if I played this game, or maybe was it a nightmare? … Where's my gun? WHERE'S MY GU… Oh… Wait… I never had any gun.
Well done and good job! :wink:

wish i had this option during the ludum dare lolol

cool idea and made me laugh sometimes ...
this is obviously very challenging to make though and I commend for your courage on it

it would be cool to have some possibly random interactions with this pen helper

I really liked this game. I must admit that I spent way too much time drawing things, but it was enjoyable. I liked feeling scared with very few images and the gloomy background sound. Pen helper is cute. There was just a black screen with him at the end so I don't know if that was the ending or something else. Other than that, nice job!

Really great job! I kind of wanted something more at the end. But very clever overall.

:~(

I was all in on this and eager to see where it went.

But my computer does not have a microphone, and the game is stuck at the sound recording part and I cannot proceed.

Bummer, because this is a wildly different experience than many other entries and with this content I'm putting in, I am wondering whether there's some comic payoff at the end where it all gets thrown back in my face or something.

@rhymar @pkenney just curious - what browser are you on? Wondering if there's any difference between browsers when there's no microphone.

@adhesion chrome on windows. Experience was I would click the record button and the button's state would change, then I'd click done. But after that, the clippy guy wouldn't proceed. I tried this 20 times or so. Then I tried playing something audio through another tab (Youtube vid) in case that somehow got picked up, but no dice.

Definitely a new take on the theme, really enjoyed that. Only small bug I encountered was if you deny the help at the beginning it takes quite a while before it can reset and allow the game to progress.
