We decided to combine the fun of idle games like cookie clicker with the RPG setting of games like Dragon Age. It's a game you can play while playing other games in Ludum Dare!
The development team was myself, my wife, and my two oldest daughters (we entered the game jam as a team). Even though this is a jam entry, everything in the game was made by us.
Yes - the game is nowhere near "balanced" and it's possible to overflow int's and get into some really weird places (though you could consider a signed int the hidden boss!). Ask me in a few days if I'll go back and work on it - right now I'm over looking at the code of this game! =p
Oooh a a clicky-clicky game. I played this far longer than I expected to. The balancing is a bit on the easy side, but that didn't stop me from clicking a bunch. Nice job and I really like the character art. What is the black-haired woman with the thing in her hand supposed to be? A high level professional of some sort? No matter. She was no match for my party.
I love idle games! Did you ever play Megami Quest? This reminded me a lot of that. I loved the little visualization on the side, and the promise of dragons kept me clicking. A little too easy, for my taste (does that even make sense in this genre?).
I felt excactly like when playing Diablo 3. *click click clickety click level up! click click* I like multiple character types with different abilities. :3
Really interesting point and click. I Included it in part 17 of my Ludum Dare 31 compilation video series, if you would like to check it out :) http://youtu.be/fGRz-9CpOIg
The system was good at early levels, but I found it easy to game if you invested in the right party combination early on.
