"Deep" Thoughts by Sevit

made by Sevit for Ludum Dare 48 (JAM)

This game took the LD48 theme of deeper and deeper to mean deep and philosophical. The game is not meant to be one you pickup often or even one you play more than once, the point of the game is to relax and enjoy yourself.

Edit: Removed Linux and Mac since I can't get them to export properly.

Clearing some things up, people are saying the tutorial isn’t working and I’m not sure that this is the issue but the next button in the tutorial in a stroke of awful judgment is a card that may blend in with the other cards in the picture, so look out for that. I didn’t make this clear in the tutorial or description so I’ll say it now, you do get more points if what you write makes sense in hindsight I definitely needed to put that somewhere but I guess here works. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Haha this is really cool actually, as a "deep thoughts" generator. The graphics and sound are also very well done. I like it!

Here is a quote I made with this: "The earth is like a puppy; young and destructive."

(Also side note, if you only have a .exe, please don't say it's for mac and linux as well!)

This game is like a puppy; small and cute. But seriously, I had a great time with this, given the simple mechanics! Love the touch of being able to name your similes before selling them. A suggestion for future development would be to add more conditions and bonuses so the player has a bit more focus in what they should write. Neat entry overall! :smile:

Great soundtrack, but nothing seemed to work after opening the tutorial and things were going off the end of the screen

this was hilarious and brought a smile to my face. I now have a list of random and very deep thoughts :D

Really nice game, well polished and with a minimalistic yet powerful idea.

I had a great time playing it, and it is indeed relaxing - maybe to much for me, but i liked it either way.

As @minibetrayal said, the tutorial scene doesn't seen to work. And could be a nice idea to get "deeper" in that concept, bringing more chalenges maybe, like words that affect our psycological in a bad way, give a penality or so. Otherwise if you use "nicer" or "smart" words, a bônus.

I don't know, that was just an idea tha came up while i was playing the game. In overall, i really like! It is a great game and didn't find any "bugs" with the exception of "tutorial". Congrats.

Nice mood! This was a fun little experience, and while not an action packed game like many other submissions, exhibited significant uniqueness in its concept and execution. I enjoyed stacking the words together like dominoes, and creating both profound and ridiculous proverbs in the process. 'A child is like the sea; chaotic and evil' - 'Mankind is like a river; beautiful and destructive'

I would have liked to see a bit more mechanically expanding upon this idea, and maybe some more sentence structures available than "A _ is like a _; _ and _" - but maybe I didn't get far enough?

The mood was relaxing and serene, and with enough word and sentence variety I think I could have spent a lot of time sitting there clicking words haha. Good job!

There is a lot of "unintentional" humour in this game. It might actually be intentional though! Really appreciated the relaxed feeling of the game. Here is the VOD: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1003973167

it was an interesting experience that i feel like could contribute to a larger maybe humor based game

Cool concept, innovative interpretation of the theme. It's nice that people randomly buy your work, it adds a little bit of progression.

However, I think it needs way more card variety. It got stale pretty quickly.

Enjoyable little game, keep it up!
