I like how you interpreted the LD theme, going for "connected" rather than connecting worlds. The concept is nice, managing a house and meeting the user's demands, but the pace is a bit slow and repetitive. However, with more time and more features (which apparently you had in mind already :D), could be a lot funnier ! I also like the 3D scene and the rooms layout, with the cool lights when he's watching TV & all.

Very innovative and fun game. Love graphics. This dude gets mad when there is no TV like this is ALL his life :)

Bah, is there an error you're getting? Most likely it's a shader problem, could you try running it in the command line: Application.exe > log.txt and send me the log.txt? I should be able to fix it if I can get a log of the output.

Cool idea! I had some problem with the view controls since holding left-click to move the view also triggers a click where you put the mouse, but other than that pretty cool.

Congrats on working out an original idea to fit the theme. Pacing is a little slow, though. The game looks great and the concept is cool, but it obviously needs more to keep the player busy. Overall very good job on making a functional and original idea within the deadline :)

innovative idea and intuitiv gameplay. like it. with some sound effects it would add some extra atmosphere i think.

Really good but it sometimes crashed and the objects were hard to click on

I like it but there's too much just waiting around. If you did add more people that would help :)

Heh, I could see this being pretty neat with a comprehensive enough group of people and tasks to tend to. As it is, you can learn the guy's pattern pretty readily and keep him satisfied.
Still, not bad for the time given.
