- Writing code - if you move away from the computer AWSD gets printed on screen while walking around
- Noticed that eating chocolate and drinking coffee is the best way to stay awake. When that runs out just going to the fridge did the trick. Not sure if anything else kept me awake. Tried to excercise but I was always too tired. Might explore some more how to keep myself awake
All in all realy enjoyed the game. Great work!
Always call mom when you are doing a game jam :laughing:
in game time of 3h30, so not bad.
I had a hard time understanding the logic behind the objects that makes you more sleepy or awake, some are pretty obvious, others are random. Once you know which is which, it becomes pretty easy, everything you need is in the bathroom, you don't really need to go anywhere else. The minigames were fun. The controls are a bit janky, like the very low mouse sensibility. But overall it's well polished.
The amount of work put in this is astonishing :o the minigames are good and put us in the shoes of the game dev quite well ^^
But I found it really frustrating sometimes, with a lot of traps everywhere and having to start again from the beginning everytime is not really fun...
I had a lot of trouble with the drawing minigame too, I don't know if it is because my visual memory is bad or something like that.
Good job to the team, it's a solid entry :)
Visuals/sound design/gameplay, all stellar. Great job y'all <3
For all of you reporting bugs, we will try to fix them for our future players. But some of them are not obvious to find. Some of them were already reproduced prior to publish the game but we haven't got time to work on it yet :grimacing:
Normally the pixel-art sample loops to help the player, without being to easy to finish too fast.
Also, we wanted to implement many interactable objects to let the player discover by himself what can be used without always being obvious, maybe this wasn't a very good idea for a Jam ? (Who wants to die 10 seconds before winning by looking too much time at a cute doggo painting ? -me obviously-)
Your game was a blast! I wish coding and solving bugs was like this irl :sweat_smile:
Interesting subgames and main sleep mechanic - it wasn't always clear how sleepy / how close to heart attack I was. (also heart attack from eating too much - oof)
I think I somehow broke the typing game - left it running and it had all my move commands, and then the word was stuck :)
Neat 3D graphics and sound, wait can't finish this comment, but the edges of my screen are turning greyyyy
This was really rather fun. I liked the various silly interactions with the items in the house, and the minigames were simple but diverse enough that they were never quite boring.
The only thing that bothered me was that the fading-out effect when you get sleepy made it look like the room was filling with smoke!
Anyway, this was great, all around,
We will make a quick fix for the problematic issues. @foursay can I have your discord or a way to contact you please ?
@squimmy yeah we wanted to try Godot 4, a gamejam is a good moment to try things :smile:. Yes for the smoke we really wanted to use the new volumetric fog feature aha, that's fit well the sleeping state I think.
I like how you connect every minigame with the state of falling asleep. The computer's UI feels so real to me because I have some sticky notes on the Desktop, and it looks alike lmao. Also nice music for the media player!
For the game flow and loop, It feels single-looped for now since there are limited items in this room that could help me not fall asleep. At the same time, they function in the same way to promote my "health" level. I would like to see more design in the possible attributes and metrics for "how to fall asleep," such as anxiety, stress, hunger, or something. That's just some random talk for future possibilities, and in terms of jam's scoop, I think this game is perfect.
By the way, I am a little surprised that this fantastic 3D game is made by Godot, which focuses on 2D agile workflow. Maybe I am just not catching up with the latest news for a long time, and it might be perfect timing for me to try some Godot ;)
