It reminded me of a Pharmakon a little bit.\n\nSad that you have abandoned your original idea. As a person who struggles with game-narrative every time, I get that feeling, when you think that the story is just not good enough or maybe seems too incoherent. But I think in the and you should just power through and make SOME story, even if it would be stupid or naive :shrug: Most of the time other people would look at your work less critical than yourself and like it more than you think :slight_smile:","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":682925,"author_name":"Ravengar","author_uid":"ravengar","epoch":1619860948,"text":"I reached 150 diamonds before killing myself, the balancing probably makes the game a bit too easy.

Of course the game might look easy at first, but it's not fun and games anymore when you get followed by an army of \"gopniks\" :D\n\n\n\n![silesia.png](\/\/\/raw\/349\/3\/z\/41e45.png)\n\n\n\nSometimes it got even funny, when there are some souls lost behind a corner, waiting for you...\n\n\n\nIf you continue working on it, maybe tweak a bit the camera movement, I had to move the mouse 2-3 times to turn, and maybe add a minimap, some end level goal (find a door, collect x amount of diamonds), maybe add ladders, balconies. For some additional change, you could make the overall lighting weaker, and add some light poles on the streets.","format":"md","likes":0,"spam":"N"}],"format":"md","images":["ld48\/wayback-placeholder.png"],"links":[{"url":"https:\/\/kosmik123.itch.io\/silesia-simulator","text":"Windows"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"74763","g_author":"1128185","g_event":"LD48","g_eventkey":"109","g_subevent":"JAM","g_urlkey":"368969","g_title":"Silesia Simulator","g_status":"WAYBACK","g_place":"99999","g_commentcount":"4","g_site2_node_id":"234084","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":{"n_key":"234084","n_urlkey":"368969","n_parent":"233335","n_path":"\/events\/ludum-dare\/48\/silesia-simulator","n_slug":"silesia-simulator","n_type":"item","n_subtype":"game","n_subsubtype":"jam","n_author":"128185","n_created":"1614429637","n_modified":"1778876430","n_version":"768154","n_status":"WAYBACK"},"node":{"_collation":{"body_sanitizer":"TextUtils::SanitizeHTML via existing importer","event":"LD48","removed_author":false},"_superparent":9,"_trust":1,"author":128185,"body":"Explore the depths of the polluted and haunted city.\n\nMy very first idea was to make a game about a person who lost their memory (maybe even mind).
