You're turning 30.
Time to throw the best party ever!
I feel I have to explain my interpretation of the theme for this one: all the characters in this game come from previous games of mine, released or not. It turns out they're all connected.
Unzip, then run Saturday Night Symbiosis.exe. If it doesn't work: open setup.exe and switch to windowed mode

Oh my, this is so good! I love the characters, and the gaming/drinking party we had with them is like the best party ever. I expect myself to replay this a lot.
Shiiiit, I made mr Crepi sad :( now I'm sad too
great game Pierrec, will try to throw a better party next time for sure
Very very cool. It reminded me of Anna Anthropy's game Triad but way more interesting if you ask me :)
Triad was ma favorite game of 2013 so...this goes right through my heart
This is brilliant! Love calling people and finding out what they want, and to puzzle it all together. The "epilogue" is great too :D
I'll play this later again to see how things can turn out. There are so many possibilites!
That was really interesting. Loving all the characters!
Fantastic game ! I like to get small stories as a reward rather than a simple score.
Very well done! I enjoyed the character's small stories and how they connected in the end.
Ends perfectly rounded in a well-chosen song. Superb! :D
My first party was horrible. Fortunately it's a game and I could make a perfect party on second try.
Good idea.
(and the neighbor remind me that I have test Agricola...)
Loved it. Really nicely sketched characters, a fun mechanic, well-chosen music, cute artwork and above all a lot of heart. I've played it through three times and I'll probably come back to it again later.
(My first party was mediocre, by the way, but I'm improving!)
Really well-done as usual; it's nice to see your old characters aging.
Again a nice game by pierrec, played it for about an hour before throwing the best party EVER.
The music is great and stays in your head after you closed the game, every character is lovely and the story behind them is great.
Damn I wish I could witness this Amy-Candy twerking contest for... hum... scientific reasons.
Great job.
Perfect party! Took me a while but i did it. Really good game best one so far (only played 6 but still).
Dude, I really enjoyed your game. Perfect concept and nice plot! :D
In response to your comment on my game. I wish I had more content also. I wanted aliens and curve ball asteroids and such. Too little time for such ambition :)
Your game though, I think is the most well rounded games I have seen this competition. Some games may be rated slightly higher in certain categories, but you hit all 7 aspects very well. Great entry.
Really nice concept. I felt a little sad after throwing a shitty party :D
Please make a mac version! I'd love to try it but I can't with OSX
This is great! My party went hilariously disastrous. Quite realistic if you ask me :P
I think your take on the theme is very good. :) I threw an epic party and loved it! Great game.
I really enjoyed the game! My party wasn't very good though :( Excuse me while I go and play again!
Love this game. Great little stories for all the characters. I thought I had thrown a great party right till the very end when the game told me it was mediocre :D Will definitely be going back and playing this some more.
Cool game!
Really enjoyed it, restart 3 times to get my party right.
Nice dialogs and cool consequences from choices
I've played 3 times already and this is the only game I've not deleted straight after; it's really "finished" for an LD game. I'll probably go play it again to try and get it right!
Love the creativity with the theme, and now I want to go make more games so I have enough characters to do something similar. :D
One of the nicest experiences I've had this LD, very sweet. The characters were distinct and interesting and I liked trying to decide who to invite. My party ended up okay but unremarkable which I was quite happy with. Will have to go back and play because I'm interested to see on what other epilogues I can end up with. Nicely done.
Oh wow. Most of the games you find here are over in a minute. I spent an hour with this game, and I was still getting bad parties. There are so many possible combinations!
There really needs to be a Ludum Dare rating system for Writing, because this was a five star story experience. :) Well done!
Cool idea. Now I'm really curious to know more about your other games...
(This bubble sound effect on the title screen irks me though >__<)
They can be find here : https://abunchofgames.wordpress.com/ :)
I might add some music in the game for a post-compo version. Maybe the bubble sounds will be more bearable then
I've just play two times and love the idea and the replay value. We thought about the idea "Everyone is a world" but dropped it, glad to see you thought the same and made it in a non-expected way ! The characters were cool and funny.
Hi Pierrec, here's some feedback.
What I liked :
- Story consistancy. Tried a few things but couldn't make the story inconsistant, nice one !
- Game play really based on character relations and importance of call order.
- Characters descriptions : short and helpfuls.
- Epilogs
What imo could be improved :
- save points or option to undo last call (in order to test more scenarios =))
- UI graphics lack some fantasy
- Window mode instead of fullscrenn (or did I miss it ?)
Overall is excellent ! I really enjoyed your game =)
Thanks !
Great and solid game, really enjoyed playing it ! Still trying to make a better party, I'll keep playing a bit more
I threw an average party, but that's good enough for me. Some of the choices feel like they exist more as guesswork than things I could have genuinely puzzled out, but I don't begrudge that too badly.
An heartwarming game, with clever writing and relatable situations. I want to try every possible ending, but it's getting late and I have to sleep :D Great job
So refreshing. This one really have a HIGH replayability rate ! Too bad it's not a Ludum Dare vote category yet :D
But somehow, I feel robed on my first party *spoiler* :
- Mark found no gaming partner although I was kind enough to invite Mr Crepi to my party
- Ami miss booze and music and I had 2 on each of them ! ( w the draft beer system )
- I really worry about joe because he drank for two thinking his wife will take him home, but he was alone.
I could not manage to make the perfect party but tried only 3 times until now.
Why does it take so long to load a game that's just pixelart and some text?

TEAMS: Teams entering the Jam should pick a single representative to submit your game, or create a team specific account you can share. We currently do not support Team Voting, but sharing an account and together playing and rating games is acceptable.
NOT LOGGED IN?: If you get a message about not being logged in, even though you are, it’s because your web browser cached the non-logged in page. You can fix this by either refreshing your cache or clearing your cache. CTRL+F5 in many browsers. Chrome is a bit more work. Press F12 to enable Developer Mode, then you can right click on the refresh button and select “Empty Cache and Hard Reload”. This option is unavailable if you are not in Developer Mode.
PORTS: Ports to other platforms can be done after the deadline. That said, the sooner you finish your port, the sooner people can play your game, improving your chances of placing in the final results. For best results, provide a Web version of your game, or a Windows version with no dependencies. Also be sure to rate about 20 games to improve your visibility.
MY GAME DOESN’T SHOW UP: If you can’t find your game, it’s usually because the URL to your downloads are missing ‘http://‘. Fix your URLs (http://mysite.com/mygame.zip) and you will show up.
MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crash or win condition bugs after the deadline (in a sense, like “porting” to support more players). We also allow “typo” bugs. I.e. A true that should have been a false, a word that should have been a different word, very tiny changes that you would have caught if you had more sleep. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just things you messed up last minute. Typos.
Wow, I really throw a bummer of a party, people even got arrested! Cool game.
