Good effort I suppose. You submitted a thing!\n\nOn a more serious note, I think you have some potential here it is cute, and it has a bit of strategy that with a bit more...I guess anything? could be good. The music is nice.\n\nAll in all, um it runs...Yip yap!","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":919148,"author_name":"therealjtgill","author_uid":"therealjtgill","epoch":1673632218,"text":"### Things I liked\n\n1. The graphics and animations were great\n2. The background music was just the right touch\n3. The core gameplay concept is very engaging\n\n### Things I noticed\n\n1. After accumulating 12 dew drops I could buy any ant I wanted for zero price\n2. After about 8 - 12 harvesters the queen --> aphid --> queen animation cycle stopped working and the harvesters just started walking in straight lines to the queen over and over\n3. The hunters didn't seem to do much - they'd attack the AI players, but wouldn't do much with them?\n\nOverall, I'd be very interested to play the full and fixed version of this game. It has a ton of potential, please keep making progress!","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":919782,"author_name":"Papabirb","author_uid":"papabirb","epoch":1673651020,"text":"Huh, this was a weird one for me. Windows kept trying to stop it from running until I figured out how the hell to get to the \"run anyway\" button, lol. Unusual for a Godot download, but then this is also the first one I've downloaded that wasn't in a .zip, so maybe that's part of it.\n\nBugs-wise, I noticed the same thing about accumulating 12 dew drops, but it's actually just that you can buy infinite hunters. I still saw the drops going down by 4 when I bought harvesters, they were just harvesting faster than I could spend. Hunters seemed able to kill opposing ants, but unable to damage the queen.\n\nThe music was interesting. Kind of an unsettling otherworldly jazz vibe, like the game Catherine (which I don't remember well but I think had jazz sometimes) or various parts of Deadly Premonition.\n\nAll in all, I'd love to play a finished version of this. It tickles my base\/tower defense fancy. :smile_cat: ","format":"md","likes":2,"spam":"N"}],"format":"md","images":["ld52\/wayback-placeholder.png"],"links":[],"metadata":{"g_key":"67219","g_author":"1002695","g_event":"LD52","g_eventkey":"116","g_subevent":"UNFINISH","g_urlkey":"289570","g_title":"Dew Drop","g_status":"WAYBACK","g_place":"99999","g_commentcount":"3","g_site2_node_id":"317092","g_hide":"Y","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":{"n_key":"317092","n_urlkey":"289570","n_parent":"313060","n_path":"\/events\/ludum-dare\/52\/dew-drop","n_slug":"dew-drop","n_type":"item","n_subtype":"game","n_subsubtype":"unfinish","n_author":"2695","n_created":"0","n_modified":"0","n_version":"1005853","n_status":"WAYBACK"},"node":{"id":317092,"parent":313060,"_superparent":9,"author":2695,"type":"item","subtype":"game","subsubtype":"unfinished","published":"2023-01-09T20:24:54Z","created":"2023-01-06T10:03:24Z","modified":"2023-04-03T18:15:14Z","_trust":2,"version":1005853,"slug":"dew-drop","name":"Dew Drop","body":"Collect dew from the aphids to fuel your ant army and defend against the oncoming invasion.\n\nProgramming by mostlyharmless (Nick Barrios)\n\nArt and Music by Kevin Barrios\n\n![title-screen.png](\/\/\/raw\/78a\/z\/5565e.png)\n\n![title-rules.png](\/\/\/raw\/78a\/z\/55664.png)","scope":"public","node-timestamp":"2023-01-13T23:06:52Z","meta":{"author":[2695,4899],"cover":"\/\/\/content\/78a\/z\/55598.png","allow-anonymous-comments":"1","link-01-tag":[42440]},"meta-timestamp":"2023-04-03T18:15:14Z","path":"\/events\/ludum-dare\/52\/dew-drop","parents":[1,5,9,313060],"files":[{"id":10777,"author":2695,"node":317092,"tag":0,"name":"DewDrop_x64.exe","size":150937760,"timestamp":"2023-01-09T20:08:31Z","status":9},{"id":11715,"author":2695,"node":317092,"tag":0,"name":"$$embed-11715.zip","size":29012882,"timestamp":"2023-01-10T03:55:20Z","status":64},{"id":11716,"author":2695,"node":317092,"tag":0,"name":"$$embed-11716.zip","size":29012846,"timestamp":"2023-01-10T03:56:43Z","status":64},{"id":11749,"author":2695,"node":317092,"tag":0,"name":"LD52.dmg","size":76382058,"timestamp":"2023-01-10T06:53:11Z","status":0}],"files-timestamp":"2023-01-10T06:53:11Z","love":0,"comments":3,"comments-timestamp":"2023-01-13T23:03:40Z","magic":{"cool":384.05728739343,"feedback":18,"given":14.75,"grade":0,"smart":387.33971724045},"_wayback":{"timestamp":"20230715052848","url":"https:\/\/api.ldjam.com\/vx\/node2\/get\/317092+320775+314261+315714+313600+316337+314757+320381+314256+330345+315070+317061+317785+318602+320704+313624+324229+331211+317260+320404+313335+321644+330839+318156"}},"text":"Collect dew from the aphids to fuel your ant army and defend against the oncoming invasion.\n\nProgramming by mostlyharmless (Nick Barrios)\n\nArt and Music by Kevin Barrios\n\n![title-screen.png](\/\/\/raw\/78a\/z\/5565e.png)\n\n![title-rules.png](\/\/\/raw\/78a\/z\/55664.png)","title":"Dew Drop","wayback_recovered":true,"wayback_source":{"timestamp":"20230715052848","url":"https:\/\/api.ldjam.com\/vx\/node2\/get\/317092+320775+314261+315714+313600+316337+314757+320381+314256+330345+315070+317061+317785+318602+320704+313624+324229+331211+317260+320404+313335+321644+330839+318156"}}
