[ Real World Gatherings | Ludum Deals | Warmup Weekend (Games) | MiniLD #53 | Wallpaper (1) (2) (3) | Mailing List ]
We made a game about managing different functions of the ship in order to fix it and eventually reach your final destination.
We came up with an idea to make a game about mixing eco-systems of different spaceships' of a giant forsaken fleet by connecting them, which is a bit more related with LDs theme this year. It should've been a rather simple puzzle-game, but than we decided to make it more complex and smaller at the same time. So we ended up with this kind of decision-adventure about Engineer#34 and a bit crazy AI. And rabbits.
~20 endings, only 2 of them are positive

Well thought-out and with a great sense of exploration. Good job with the voice-over, it's no GLaDOS, but it has it's moments. Cool sci-fi thriller, kinda reminded me of Leviathan Wakes. I wonder why.
Nice AI voice, amazing amount of content you did manage to do but as you say, not much connection to the theme.
The only game I have rated so far that I gave more than 4 5-star ratings :)
Amazing sound, ambience, graphics and gameplay. One of the best games I've played so far :)
I liked this very much. The graphics and audio fit very well and there is lots of potential in this idea. I enjoyed the playthrough and the controls were easy to learn. The dialogue and ingame choices seemed to fit the environment. Good job!
The amount of work and craftsmanship that went into this is absolutely amazing. The only thing "missing" would be a graphical ending, as opposed to just scrolling text. But otherwise, this is damn near perfect.
I liked the AI voice and that player is free to choose when he is able to.
Awesome entry. I epecially like the personality of the computers voice. Very much to like in here, indeed. The 3D environments looks great, and so does the character model and animations. Looks like a lot of work was put into this. Great job!
Good entry. I really liked the game mechanic and the interpretation of the Connected Worlds theme. What I wasn't really keen on was the AI voice. I can see that you tried to make it like Portal with the robotic voice effect with human-like personality, making puns and using sarcasm, but that requires considerably more work to get right, and I'd recommend that you try and find your own unique AI personality, rather than mimic an existing one.
Nevertheless, great gameplay and original idea. Best of luck!
Amazing. The voice is just great. It took me a while to figure out, with each playthrough I could get a little farther. Great dialogue.
The "Groundhog Day"-like mechanics is where the game shines best as it offers a lot of replayability. However, the execution a bit rough due to being rushed (AI is more rude than SS2's SHODAN let alone GLaDOS)... it could use more work, but I feel that the concept has a lot of potential.
Good job on the entry!
Good game. After many tries the AI makes me want to shut it down. It doesn't do anything to help. Good graphics, and sfx.
Are you sure there are 2 way to win this? I think there is only one :o
Not a bad ending though, for a negative one, but damn she was annoying! XD
Very good entry! I was unable to find a way to increase the power, but I get a good ammount of bad endings. Having voice acting for the AI was really good to set the mood.
Really well crafted experience. The mood is nice and the voice overs are really cool. I managed to die in a wide array of ways which was also nice :D
I actually like how you've managed to put in 20 endings based on the actions you do (encouraging replayability) and I really love how there's so much to explore in the spaceship. The voice acting seems pretty top notch too.
wow, what a deep and polished game for the jam, congrats on the awesome entry!

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.
