France is Bacon is a game about using knowledge as a weapon. Play as bored college student Caleb as he roams his notebook, finding lost pages of long-forgotten notes.
This is my solo-jam entry. I used Unity and got music from incompetech. My goal was to make a game that would engage players in tangential learning by introducing cool ideas / topics through the game's mechanics. :D
I really dig the style, the main character and those french dinos. The only thing missing is, I think, more challenging gameplay mechanics. Nonetheless, it is very cute and I loved it.
What a lovely entry. Excellent artwork. Good use of writing. And the dino's with top hats, monocles and cups of tea was so cute I didn't really want to hurt them.
A very unique idea with an awesome art style :D I did find it hard to do the doppler effect part as enemies appeared before I could see what keys I had to press to activate it. Overall an awesome idea that's I'd love to see more of!
This was an interesting way to teach people but my only problem is that there doesn't seem to be a cohesive theme to the knowledge, going from the rule of thirds to the doppler effect seemed strange. I also would have appreciated a joke using the rule of thirds or more examples with it in general. Aside from that I appreciate the fact that this was a learning game and the style in which it was portrayed was GREAT so I definitely hope to see more knowledge shared.
Great game to play! Love the unconventional weapons, and narration. Did not see the point of letting the player jump, unless it was something that wasn't finished. Also, the game seems to not be consistent with the title. I recommend everyone to play this.
Really great! Reminds me of Social's class where we had to identify which colonial power was most important in the establishment of New France: Economy, Culture, Military, or Knowledge! Cool game, I want more!
