Ultra Realistic Social Network simulator recreates the whole experience of using a social network. You can't win or lose, just waste your time watching the activity feed.
Features:
-Watch random updates from different characters.
-This is not really a game, just like social networks.
-Over 70 pre-made status updates plus lots of randomly-generated quotes.
-Mark your favourite quotes and share them on twitter.
-Pop-ups with warning messages.
-No annoying chat sounds.
-Procrastinating has never been easier.
-94.9% more random than your average game.
Notes:
As most people said it's lacking interaction, that's something I wanted to add from the begining, but I wanted to try out the "activity feed" idea and I run out of time. I couln't work on Monday, so I didn't have the chance to turn this into a jam a entry. It was extremely fun to create this little experiment :)
Known Issues:
-Twitter button is a bit buggy but should work 90% of the time.
Very much like what I do on social media. I included it in my Ludum Dare 30 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look :) http://youtu.be/CHUuhEZvNWU
As many of you already said it isn't a game. It was going to be closer to a game but somewhere along the jam I got sidetracked.
I thought of thousands of features I had to discard because, you know, it's a jam. Like having some kind of conversation with the rest of chracters. What do you think? What would you like to add?
It looks to me more like social experiment, maybe to make us realize how much time we waste. But, to be honest - lately I saw too much fake images with 'funny' disputes via social news feeds to really appreciate this idea. Sorry :(
Hilarious to watch. I wish that somehow the interation did more, like some sort of multiple choice mundane comment system? Great use of social integration too, but I'm not quite ready to post "Fuck the police (Spiderman) #socialsim via @Ludipe" to my twitter. Good fun =)

@Eomir: It was going to be a social network which connected several universes(real world, pokemon, etc) but I run out of time to explain evertything and implement features.
Damn, a pity you didn't get to implement some interactivity... was actually looking forward to it. Still, as it is, it's quite a funny game and/or social criticism^^ I liked to just set the activity feed to super fast, and then clicking on 'don't care' on every post as they scrolled by :D
"Hi I'm Morgan Freeman. And you're reading this in my voice" So true... #socialism
