+++++Name : Oneitis From urbandictionary, 'Oneitis is an unhealthy romantic obsession with a single person. Usually accompanied by un-reciprocated affection and completely unrealistic idealization of the said person.'
Story : The One is friend with you on Facelook, and you are desperately trying to exist for her. You're shy and won't communicate with her directly (*) but you can like update one your FL timeline... Try not afraid her ! Controls : Mouse Sounds : None
Note : Please note the timeline update bottom to up, it's unusual I know...
(*) : Ok, this part is here to hide missing features :)
+++++Me It's my first Ludum Dare, and the first time I make a game by myself.
Development : Pygame 1.9.1 with Python 2.5, because I'm more used to it.
+++++What's went right My first update : http://www.ludumdare.com/compo/2013/12/14/first-time-almost-one-day-left/ I fight procrastination hard, and relatively succeed ! I changed the story half-way and I'm glad I did it : my original idea was pretty lame. I treated myself pretty well : no junk food (see my first update to see it) or overeating to compensate the creative frustration process.
+++++What's went wrong I put the death of my screen the first morning to bad luck a bunch of hours lost. Time estimation was totally off. I forced myself to forget about half of the features I originally listed... Then I had to cut that in half !
+++++Statistics during these 48 hours Calories ingested : 2680 Coke Zero gulped : roughly 5 liters (~1.32 gallons) Sleep : 9 hours
+++++Background Video games soundtracks : FTL, Bastion, Streets of Rage, Super Meat Boy, We Love Katamari, Locoroco Cocorecho, Hotline Miami and Farcry Bloodragon.
I tried a few times and I'm too creepy as well :( Innovative idea, but I felt it was lacking some "game" feedback (that said, I think in the real world, the amount of feedback I got from this was probably realistic!)
Not very clear as to what I'm supposed to be doing here - how do I not creep One out? I have just been liking all of her posts... should I not like all of them, only like certain posts, etc.? All in all an interesting concept, however the execution and fun-factor is severely lacking.
I don't really understand how this works (maybe because I never socialize much on Facebook? XD), however, this is a pretty innovative idea and pretty humour on some of the posts XD
It's a pretty interesting take on the theme, but it could use some fleshing out with more gameplay options and variety, and some more audiovisual feedback wouldn't have gone amiss.
Thank you very much for your review of my game ! You are the first one to give tips about one of my game, that's was really cool to read, I hope you had fun ! Thanks again for your game, it was a really good idea and it was a real pleasure to play it !
A unique and quite creepy experience, I feel like I should cleanse myself somehow!! On the game side, it was difficult to know how I was progressing / what I was supposed to do / what (if any) effect my actions were having ... until the inevitable unfriending that was! Innovative but difficult to fathom
I don't think I understand The One. Maybe I should've taken the blue pill after all.
Interesting idea, but I didn't quite know how to appeal to her. I guess thats not much of a surprise considering the fact that I am rating Ludum Dare games at 1:37am... Sigh.
Interesting take on the theme! I had a hard time understanding if my actions had any effect other than creeping "One" out (I did pretty good at that!). Not sure if you intended there to be a mood or not, but I definitely felt lonely trying to communicate only through clicking "Like", so that was cool!
I tried py2exe, cz_freeze, pyinstaller, upgraded and downgraded version of python/pygame, no luck...
Lot of executables give me that error : "pygame.error: Couldn't open facelook_background.png" and I couldn't make it through.
Somebody get an insight about that ?
