---------------------------------------------------
It is advised not to touch the configuration optimized for a game display window. But in case of trouble, winsetup.exe is available in the zip.
The game is fully created using AGS (Adventure games Studio)in 48 h (graphics/scenar and coding)
I'm currently on a big project underway since late 2012 design of a point and click game in the same style as Minimalisman.
Minimalisman is a character (PNJ) derived from my ongoing project to mark the LD26 is then put in a position of leading role. (the vilain) I made the animation of walk and talk of his this weekend of the ld26 challenge.

<<<<<< Known bugs >>>>>>>>>>
-A slight bug in the game: when the stereo is switched on after the death of the blonde resurrect it ... It's a bug .. but finally it's fun i think
-The game is not in full screen by default. There is a little bug if you play in popup and exit the mouse out of the screen...so play in full screen (configure in winsetup.exe) if you have this bug...
-48 hours is short! this very tight schedule did not allow me to propose an action with the mixer in the kitchen so do not use it with tomato (it was expected to make tomato soup) but suddenly it will use a most natural way and physical lol

good game to all and thank you for your comments

Hello, the link will be ok tonight, I finish some finishes I had at the beginning of the opening because I thought it had to pre-register ... it is still under construction there very quickly!

Sorry for small translation errors that could be in the game
It's been a long time since I did not speak English so I used google translate to create dialogues.
I hope you still understand the basics ...
BYou game and all .... you come to dance the mouse? lol
Thank you for your votes!

Good game
I really like the humor and the background art style. Hard to find the time to get through the whole prototype while I am bouncing back forth between checking out all the games.
Correct me if I'm wrong but it does feel like you have taken sprites from the net/ taken graphics from your own game you've been working on...
nice and fun p&C
but excpet the mention to minimalism its hard to see the theme
I can't reach the web version! I just get pinged over to your home page.
God seemed to speak from minimalisman's butt. Other than that, it was fun, but a little easy.
At last some fellow who enjoys point and click games, if you like them, try out also my entry in LD which is a point and click adventure.
Overall, the game is great, humor was a bit shallow imo and the google translation from french to english totally killed it (dialogues are the most important thing in a point and click after all). Sound is pretty great and the art style is nice. I feel the theme was a bit too forced in the game itself. Did you really make all of this from scratch in 48 hours? That's amazing, if true.
Web version does'nt exist
it was a error when i edit the links i'm repare it !
@Xgor : no... i am making a big game in parallele and the srpite of Minimalismam is a png in my project but all the rest (others sprites, anims, background are made this week for ludum dare 26...
@Morgawr .. yes i made everyuthing this week..coding, backgrounds, sprites (minimalisman is just a png not principal of my current game but i'll remanied it totaly for dialogues animation and the M on his body M..for..Minimalisman.... All that in 3 days of course. I sleeping only 3 hours in 3 days... coca zero is good for that lol
Yes...for the translation...i don't speak very well english and i had not other choice to use google translate ... :/
Precision : my principal activty and professional activity (i'm 40 years old) is graphist for web...but in 1980 i was gamecoder on basic on commodore 64 (textual basic) and after on atari st...i'm just a old generation of gamemaker and i come back in code in 2012 for pleasure...this is my first game finishe in 30 years... and i hope i'll do better next time.
@JaJ yes easy..but in 48 hours it's short to make a click and play with more than 10 hours of enigme like day of tentacle or Monkey Island :p
@egos ...
Instead, I took a direction against the generality and the qualifiquatif the word minimalism ... where everyone is leaning on the side of sobriety and pixel art ... I went on an adventure based on a scenario based on the concept decorative minimalism (style decoration and home decoration) Minimalism concept and the artistic side. ..
Hahaha awesome! Loved the concept! The puzzles were pretty easy, so I managed to see the end. I had a good laugh, good work!
Trying a bit too hard on the jokes and references for me, nice presentation.
It is against the rules of the 48 hour compo to download music and sound effects (such as from www.universal-soundbank.com and nosoapradio.us) but this could be used under the Jam rules.
@Dietrich ...I'll made alone in 48 hours the same works of of 3 or 4 persons in a jam...so maybe i could do the the jam for one person ? Is it possible to make the jam rules when we are alone ? I don't know..and i see nowere in rules a 48 hour compo can't use a music bank free for a no commercial compo ...it's my first participation so maybe
if I am wrong it is enough to whip me no ass with wild nettles ...
do not worry jealous and envious .. I have done this competition than pure personal challenge ... most here may be afraid to see this game be set up but it will not happen because hardly anyone not vote for him ... or because no one would come to believe that I actually managed to do so in 48 hours ... or because he is directed by a french ...
I already runs a graphic design business for 10 years ... I'm 40 (yes I'm a dinausore that has rubbed on the basic Commodore 64) and did not need to nab me an ulcer for a contest ... I made a personal capacity and without drawing any ambitious promotion anything ... So fear not ... this game will remain bottom of the table, will do you no shadow but remains a big pride for me and the personal honor of taking up the challenge ...
:)...
Have fun and just do not see the competition side ... no aminosité, rancor ... there is no reason to be against ... By all controversies that I sometimes feel in the comments makes me rather objectively want to continue on the path of game design like that ... This mini game a drive for me, the first made in full and curly ... I am more than motivated to do a hundred times longer dan sun near future ... : p
In any case, a big thank you for the few people that still iapprecient work done this weekend on the LD26 this game despite a few flaws;)
(It was reported to me a bug that made the blonde resurrect if we give the music .... so do not turn on the stereo lol thank you)
Pretty amazing for a 48h compo entry !! Superb graphics and narratives. Bravo :)
Very funny game, i always love adventure game!, nice drawings too, my only complain is too much dialog at the begining
thanks
@hgouvela: the dialogues are actually debuts obliged to explain the purpose of the game and its related concept theme ... with more hours of course available that I could alternate with scenes, flashbacks etc ... but thank you;)
Argh, the game is huge and Windows-only - it is about 2,5 times bigger than my cross-platform 3D game. Let's see if Wine can emulate it under Linux.. .. .. YES!!! The humor of the game is pretty dark. I could resurrect the blonde by turning the stereobox off :P I could not figure out how to make the tomato soup putting tomatoes + rat poison into the mixer did not work :| Graphics and sounds where cool.
i'don't have the time in the challenge to make the mixer use so...for the soup...use your fingers lol
I know for the bug of the hifi and blonde but it'was to late to repare...i did it o nfrenche version ;)
i propose by default the opening in popup windows but soimetimes if you get the mouse out of screen there is a error (ags problem) so you can play in full screen if the bug is recurrent... ( winsetup.exe )
Nice game. If you kill the blonde and then turn on the hi fi stereo she comes back and you cant kill her again :). Great fun though.
Liked it! I really wanted to turn them to minimalism...but they just didn't listen...
thanks you for yours comments !
Originally I am a graphic designer so the more hard for me was rather the programming (18 hours of graphic work against the rest of the time for coding and debugging) to which I am interested since 2012 through the variant c + + AGS;) I'm not a Martian ... I just slept only 3 hours in 48 hours anyway to get to the finished product alone ... :)
Loved the conversation with God. Nice graphics and humor. Good job!
The humour included really wasn't to my liking and was a bit of a turn off.
Also you should not have this in the compo, it should be in the Jam if you are going to use multiple assets you made before hand.
good little game man.. ive just turned 40 aswell and used to code on the vic20/c64 and started to get back into programming recently so don't feel so alone hehe :)
Regardless whether this belongs to the 48hr compo or to the Jam because of the music, the entry is still pretty nice. I love point and click adventures, and even though some dialogues may get tiresome, the graphics (no wonder you are a pro) made this very very worth playing. Hope you continue doing game dev.
thanks!
@messiano : it's my first game but not my last..i am ready to make the next ludum dare challenges ;)
graphics were awesome but i dont understand the use of minimalism here -- great effort.
Bravo pour le jeu.... les graphiques sont super et ce en 48h ... super game play.... bref que du bon:)
@spocker2 .... i'm sure you said that because you have not paly at the game or read what i said up ;)
@TinyDrakkartudio : merci pour ces compliments...en plus j'ai rarement croisé des français dans ce tournoi alors ça fait d'autant plus plaisir que ça vienne d'un compatriote ;)
@TinyDrakkartudio (2) : enfin, un francophone plutôt puisque j'ai compris après que tu es Belge ;)
grrr faut que j'arrete d'ecrire avec des accents sur ces posts lol
Good game. Great art and mood. However the pacing is very low, with tons of texts and a loooong introduction. Congratz anyway!!
I was about to write some feedback but then I read in your comment that you called the other participants "jealous and envious". Really? Was that a joke or what?
@jorjon : how qualified you people who criticize your game by saying that it is not in the theme but have not played any evidence or accuse you of not having done everything in 48 hours without any evidence that or ...?
You read the block of text that I marked, generalized (and I can not understand why) and not understand that I was talking to a minority of critics who intervened to accuse me of things here and other free without even knowing what they were talking about ... if it is not of jealousy then I wonder by what some of these other actions are motivated?
Je ne suis pas un fan des "point and click" (il ne permettent jamais ce qui me semble evident, donc cela m'énerve assez vite), mais il a ce qu'il faut pour plaire : un visuel très accrocheur (je suis nul en gfx), de l'humour, une histoire, des mini-quetes...
J'espere que tu as recuperé un peu depuis tes nuits blanches et entre tous les jeux que tu as essayés.
hello merci davidB...et bien c'est assez dur de recuperer mais on y va tout doucement...en tous cas ça fait plaisir d'avoir des messages du genre en fr ! bonne semaine !
@Adipson, they are many people that don't know understand the rules the first time. It's your first time competing, and also you don't understand English 100%, there's a big chance you didn't know that you can't use music from Internet in your Compo game.
The "jealous" people were just trying to tell you that the correct category for this game is Jam, not Compo. No need to be harsh, this is a friendly community.
@Jorjon, yes...I quite understand that it seems that I either left me with music ... I'm not plant them for next challenges, I will use more than beep beep sfxr for my next compos or enroll at me alone as a team myself ... It's more the fact that the game catalog as irrelevant the theme because he is pushed graphically and it is not tested by the people who believe in this light then they would see that I adopted a scenar around the style minimalism has feet against everyone who took the term minimalism and simplicity in the sense line ... well ... there is no loss of life either, but being given that I said from the beginning the meaning of my gait and the concept of the game .. I do not see any other reasons for my class still out about the fact that the images are too beautiful ... must be tested any product and does not stop at the packaging ... and as I said several times since the launch of the game, I take it that people who talk without knowing necessarily have a purpose other than to be objective ... you know?
next time i'll don't make the error..i'll propose my compo in jam...error is human...
Pretty cool. Particularly impressive were the graphics which you managed to create within 48 hours. Good job! :)
Threef, did you try to change the configuration card with the winsetup.exe ? (downgrad 32 bit graphics to 16 bit etc ?)
Haha this was hilarious. I can't believe google translate is that good.
Love the spin on the theme of converting to minimalism. Well done.
yes ... i think google translate was not good but my with my poor english and the short time i'didn't have the choice :/ the next game i'll try another thing for translation... :p
The game play is fun , I liked it , even though I totally disliked the idea of God's mission .
Not really minimalistic game but about minimalism indeed! Very funny point-and-click!
I don't really liked it, it was a kinda decent adventure game but with thousands of bugs.
