Great work!
Jokes aside, it's a pretty solid management game, with cool graphics and nice gameplay. I love the fact that you drag & drop characters to make them move.
There are a few details that were a bit annoying though, like the fact that some ui often go out of the screen, and that the UI displayed in yellow is almost unreadable due to the glow. But nothing that would prevent me having a good time with the game !
Yes we had a problem with the lights. 40 min before the release le post process decided it had enought and it desappeared. We didn't manage to take him fully back in the game.
The game should have been way more brighter. But it's a Jam, we all deal with surprises, good and bad ^^
Very cool idea for a game, super meta! I had a bit of trouble figuring out how to interact at first but once I realized I could click and drag the team members, I was able to get the hang of it well.
I think it would be useful to permanently see the stats of each character (maybe at the bottom of the screen or something) and make it easier to tell who's who. When there was an event like a certain character lost morale, I had to check all the characters to find who they were so I could send them to the right location.
The graphics were great and the animations were wonderful. Overall, it was a really cool experience. Great job!
Same for the unboarding, we didn't have the time to tell everything we should.
Thank you for your comment, hopefully you had fun with it ^^
My only complaint is that the management felt needlessly challenging due to not being able to monitor the rooms all at once, already trying to manage that many people was challenging but it took me awhile to realize that I had to retrieve people from the side rooms, and there's no way of knowing when they're ready other than clicking the room, and checking on them.
That being said, balance in a jam is REALLY HARD to get so, well done!
