This game was manufactured for the contest. My history of struggles can be found on my twitter account. Fixed the college bug, and so this is the final build! If you want to see some of the older builds, go to http://topcraftia.no-ip.org/games/foreveralone/foreveralone-x.x.love (where x is the version from changelog.txt). Changelog is here http://topcraftia.no-ip.org/games/foreveralone/changelog.txt If you want to edit the game, you'll need to download love2d from here: love2d.org. -- I hope you enjoy the game! oldtopman
P.S. A big shout-out to FineCraft (on AfterNet) for help with debugging, #love (on freenode) for their expertise with the engine, and anyone else who I forgot to thank.
My score was 3790000 (bscgdxps every day, besides saturday) but my girlfriend left me forever alone. The bitch! I wasted three hours a day dating her! This time could've been spent programming games! ;) (yeah, I went on for the source, I know why she left me... sadly, that's a realistic condition) Very simple game, but it was okay - it would be much better with any kind of GUI, but I did play a lot of text games in my life, so it doesn't matter that much. P.S. Thanks for encouraging me to finish my own game.
A bit too simplistic maybe. I got caught two times spying "my girlfriend"… I gave you high community points for being one of the few Löve2D developers that understand that I have no desire whatsoever to download the frigging engine!
Life management games will always have a warm place in my heart. Thanks for this game!
A few pointers though: - Make your mind about the PoV of the game "I study for one hour" x "you take a shower" - There is no feedback about the effectiveness (or lack of) each action (other than the instant game overs). How efficient was my study? What did I program? Am I tired? - I spent the entire week without sleeping once :-P
I want to apologize to all of you. The dynamic DNS service stopped working for some reason, and I've since changed passwords and reconfigured it. It should remain working throughout the rest of the competition.
Thanks for pointing me over here. I have to agree with marudziik. Very believable.
As to the game itself I feel like it could have used a bit more detail in what your actions are for / what you're doing. (What was I studying? Was I getting tired? How was I doing in my classes?) Just some randomized flavor text for each of the options would be nice, and maybe an ascii representation of a wall clock or something would have helped keep straight what time it was.
