These aren't my type of games but I admire the amount of dedication that goes into building things like this so well done! The text revealed itself a little bit slowly which is the only improvement I can think of.","format":"md","likes":0,"spam":"N"},{"id":692057,"author_name":"Washington Irving","author_uid":"washington-irving","epoch":1620126563,"text":"Wow this is great! I found myself thinking about strategy and risks: do i need to explore further and hope i find oxygen, or should i move the camp... etc.\nYou could tell that lots of effort was put into the system of panels, on the subject, this project was really refined. lots of text adventures tend to set up a dodgy combat system, which can suck up so much development time, and just ends up confusing for the player. \nThis game however, knew it's aim and perfected the features it did have. nicely balanced, interesting, and really goes with the theme.\n\nThe only tip i can think of atm is the way you present your game: you have screenshots, which is great, but the title page should make people interested, instead of scaring them off with a wall of text and rules. Most likely, they won't read it, or will just try out the tutorial (which btw, explains everything just fine.)\n\nGreat job edvcel!","format":"md","likes":0,"spam":"N"}],"format":"md","images":["ld48\/wayback-placeholder.png"],"links":[{"url":"https:\/\/edvcel.itch.io\/endure-the-unknown","text":"Link"},{"url":"https:\/\/github.com\/edvcel\/endure-the-unknown-src","text":"Link"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"77114","g_author":"1159650","g_event":"LD48","g_eventkey":"109","g_subevent":"JAM","g_urlkey":"372395","g_title":"Endure The Unknown","g_status":"WAYBACK","g_place":"99999","g_commentcount":"2","g_site2_node_id":"246495","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":{"n_key":"246495","n_urlkey":"372395","n_parent":"233335","n_path":"\/events\/ludum-dare\/48\/endure-the-unknown","n_slug":"endure-the-unknown","n_type":"item","n_subtype":"game","n_subsubtype":"jam","n_author":"159650","n_created":"1619240653","n_modified":"1777925175","n_version":"752493","n_status":"WAYBACK"},"node":{"_collation":{"body_sanitizer":"TextUtils::SanitizeHTML via existing importer","event":"LD48","removed_author":false},"_superparent":9,"_trust":1,"author":159650,"body":"An astronaut was sent out to explore a labyrinth planet, but crashed during landing.
