Hey all,

I’m trying to do a dialog-driven adventure game for LD#30. It’s set in two entirely different places. One a villa somewhere in the Alps, the other I haven’t decided yet.
Two characters are connected via one phone line uncovering a secret connection between them. I’ll think about what the gameplay is next.

Here’s a mockup. Gotta plunge into story next!
You can also follow me on twitter for more frequent-ish updates :).

but I might be able to finish. I finally have everything in my head. Now it’s only a matter of typing… at least thats what I hope
You play as Wilma, an unknown Austrian composer who is looking for inspiration in the mountains.

Here, have a gif:

The Lion’s Song is a short-story format Point & Click Adventure made in Adventure Game Studio. It shows a perspective of the early 1910’s just before the war.
You play as Wilma, a composer who moved to the Austrian Alps to find inspiration there. But a storm lurking over the valley prevents her from going out. And so the only contact to the outside world is a new-fashioned device – the telephone (for emergencies only ;)).

What is absolutely amazing to me is that Kill Screen Mag has already written a short article regarding The Lion’s Song.

Also videogamenostalgia.com wrote a short post about the game.

I sincerely hope that some of you will like it. There are many comments saying that people liked it already and I’m hoping for more. I’d also appreciate feedback and ratings. Thank you for your time!

Hello fellow darers and daresses,

Congrats to all of you who finished – the feeling you’ve been feeling the morning after (I hope it was – as in my case – overall positive) was very well deserved!
I have been playing and rating and playing and rating and I’m amazed with the high quality of so many entries. Of course of the small fraction of games I’ve played so far there’s some that I consider very very interesting, well executed or just simply beautiful in their entirety (connection of gameplay, graphics and audio).

Here’s my list of yummy LD games you might not have seen (thus far) – I know I know YOUR GAME is probably missing. So tell me where to find it @leafthief !

• One Ship Two Ship Redshift Blueshift a well polished PVP or PVE breakout/shmup crossover that’ll leave you wanting more.
• Lady Lyla check it out and give it time – be patient – and you will see a cute and inspiring take on the theme, you’ll wish there was more (and sound ;))
• Mor this is something else. Sounds and looks good and carries a message that’s rather obvious. Hauntingly executed.
• Sun God Star Bridge like Power Rangers, Rainbow Unicorn Attack or He-Man? Then you’ll probably like this. I played it all the way through and had so much fun, it deserves some ratings!
• Planetary Marriage Counseling had me laughing  so hard. Humor communicated through gameplay. I loved this and I think you should too. So well staged.

Ah that was great, wasn’t it? Wilma wants to tell you so as well:

Now probably comes the shameless self-promotion. So here comes the shameless self promotion:

I made this game The Lion’s Song and I would really appreciate you taking time (~10 min) and playing it. It’s a short-story format point & click adventure game. If you have trouble playing it (it’s windows only) then there’s a small video of the first few minutes of “gameplay.”

I made a video of The Lion’s Song getting made.

Watch me start with graphics, tumbling over my lack of writng experience/skill. Switching back to graphics, because it’s something I’m more comfortable with. Missing the compo deadline. Almost giving up. Deciding not to give up and finishing it as a jam game. 

Maybe it’s interesting to watch? I don’t know. I love to see games getting made and thought I’d share. Because why not?

I’ve also decided to make a post-compo version of the game that’ll add story and dialog, graphics and a nice satisfying ending. I’ll keep you up to date. Until then maybe you could check out and rate The Lion’s Song? Thanks ;D

I'm late to the party but I'll be doing the jam - that's still 1 day and 5 hours to go. Wish me luck :D

Hey guys, first time I'm trying to make something more code-y. I'm currently implementing a waltzy rhythm game (3/4) with tile-based movement. So okay - the movements works. Up next: triggering stuff! Let's see where this goes.

Wish me luck XD

(Life)time as currency is my take on the theme. We go through our lives and need to be careful how to spend the time we have on the planet. Whom do we give our time? And what will we receive in return? It's resource management that can feel a bit like gambling. Especially if we don't know who we are.

Here's a picture I drew with pixels. It's a small preview of where I'm trying to go with the game graphically.

Got some basic "movement" working, which is HUGE for me, as I'm not a coder :smiley:. I'm happy with the progress so far.

I freed up the entire weekend, took Monday off and got the family on board. Can't wait <3

Tools: AGS, Aseprite, Photoshop

What can I say? I just like making small point and click adventures. So here we go again. Here's some WIP art:

There's so much fun stuff I can't mess around with on a regular basis. So I'm spending my weekend focusing on the fun stuff... I really enjoyed making this main menu for 'BRUISES'

BRUISES is about skateboards, jigsaw puzzles and three friends.

PLAY IT

I'm making a game where you play as a principal, summoning students into your office xD Trying to go for something like Ace Attorney. Wish me luck :)
