This game is more or less my life. I included it in my Ludum Dare 34 compilation video series, if you’d like to check it out :) https://youtu.be/aHYNcWsg9Wg
Little helper: Good project if you've realise that project Genre, Name and Author sounds familiar as a popular real-existing game. Bad project - if don't. Sometimes unknown indie developer making good projects too :)
Very funny, reminds me game dev story a little bit. Athmosheric and strange) Perhaps some body animation of character should be replaced - i mean he plays games (not porn) - but it's just my opinion)
Great art style and interesting idea but the simple gameplay feels too random for me. Sure I can guess games from the name but that often don't work that well and then you suddenly get some mail where you are forced to pay money and it is over. The writing is really nice though and it is fun to guess games.
Nice and innovative interpretation of the theme. However it seems too long and unrewarding for me. Either you get which game and is presented to you or you don't. There is no reveal when you guess wrong so you there is no aha effect. I reached 100,000 subs and quit because the game became tedious. But I still like the idea and execution. Very nice art!
Fun game! I really liked the writing, it was funny. The game looked great as well! I couldn't really figure out what made a game good or not, but still very impressive game. :)
Very fun, super creative idea. My only issue is that when I got to 1 million, nothing happened! Maybe a message didn't get triggered or something. Either way, I still enjoyed it a lot. Good job!
This was one of my favorite games of this LD. Overall, it was very good! It would have been nice to have other options to help grow my channel, or offering a trade-off with going to sleep vs staying awake to play more. The game is funny and the art is great, but I was frustrated by the inability to determine which games were worth playing. From day 2-5, every game I played (or when I didn't play) lost subscribers.
Pretty cool idea. I was hopeless at figuring out what was being referenced though. Art is great, sounds are fun, and it all works well together. Good game!
This is very clever. If this truly isnt random then I suspect you had alot you wanted to say about the game industry and youtube culture and got to express alot of it here in satire form. Cool idea, but I felt like I was just picking what fake game I would want to play (which was fun) but if there was a strategy here I didn't get it.
I laughed pretty hard though when the MOBA came up and all the people playing looked super pissed.
Loved the references to both youtubers and games. Would of loved to see twitter management and Reddit AMA interviews. Also a minigame during the making of the youtube videos would of been nice. Such as picking an emotion to display before each video. Such as scared for horror, excited for action and sadness for MOBA...
Cool idea and really nice looking graphics. A bit too monotone to reach the 1 million subscribers, though. I stopped playing at 330000 subscribers when there was a sequence of 5-6 fake games which was really annoying, since you don't have any advantages by telling the fake games from the real ones.
Art and animations super nice. Good mood. I think I have sat here playing this longer than any game so far. Would have loved some additional movement from the character in between gaming. I would definitely play again, especially when there is more interaction for more of the daily routine. Like choosing the right pic for instapanaram. ha
I did not understand how to make a choice (actually, i don't know if it has sense) and the game was a little repetitive though. But i finished it, and the multiple references get me to like this ! Lovedd the age of empire 2 audio reference btw !
You say the game isn't random, but it is biased. The guessing game of if you think the game was good and if the game title or author are real or parody isn't easy.
The character also constantly complains about being tired, so I tested doing nothing and he still complains.
Aaranos, not OR but AND. So it's not about guessing Title OR Author OR Genre, it's about matching Title AND Author AND Genre :) Thank you for the feedback !
Very interesting to make a sort of video game trivia competition out of a Let's Play theme, but hey... it's kinda fun! The references were a bit off for me half the time, mainly with the developer, but I could guess pretty regularly based on the game name and genre.
Theming is spot on, the graphics are fitting, sounds are a bit meh at times (or maybe I just don't like random non-word sounds) and the game is fun. Another critisism I have would be that the jumps in "amount of subscribers per video" was a bit jarring. I'd prefer the amount increase subtly over time, rather than going up in magnitudes every now and then. Overall, the game is very enjoyable and simple (in a good way)!
Great graphics! Excellent music and sounds. Really like the idea. Maybe more options of things to do would be nice, but then it wouldn't be two button controls. A lot of fun, and good humour. I got 1 million subs! woo!
I'm a fan of management clicker games (such as Game Dev Tycoon), so I found this game quite fun. The concept is brilliant, and I'd definitely like to see more games in a similar vein (Social Media Management Simulation).
My only disappointments came from the inability to save (which is to be expected from a Ludum Dare entry), and that I was often confused as to what the 'audience' wanted to see.
I had fun, and would consider buying into a full release. :D
Great art and music, thought while fun at first, it got boring after a while. Got to ~400k subs before I got tired of playing. Great game overall though!
This is na interesting game, but I found a little repetitive after a while. I love the visual and audio presentation, and I believe you did an amazing job on that front.
As someone who runs a small let's play channel I got a good laugh out of this. Some of those games are tough to guess! What really cracks me up is that dudebro can afford a mixer, but seems to still be using a $3 mic from the mid 90's. I think a bit of a longer music loop wouldn't have gone amiss, but other than that great job!
Wow, what a fantastic art work for a dare. Great audio as well. I'm not sure about the gameplay though, but maybe that's because I'm bad at it :)

Nice, idea, but it was a bit too static and unlogical...It got kind of boring very quickly, simple because this was a text based game, but appeared to have a visual style that didn't go anywhere.

Good job!
(Although I'm not sure if I really had a choice or if this was all random)
Great, great job! :)

Perhaps some body animation of character should be replaced - i mean he plays games (not porn) - but it's just my opinion)
But I still like the idea and execution. Very nice art!
good job :)
Enjoyed your game!
Poor Samantha...
...but if she had tried Speecher she would had fun.
The left field use of the theme is awesome and I love your twist on it. The art and audio are lovely.

Fun and surprisingly challenging game, well done !
Really nice job!
Well made game with everything in its place!
The character also constantly complains about being tired, so I tested doing nothing and he still complains.
Whelp.
This game amused me for much longer than I expected it to...hahaha.
Looks and sounds great too, nice work.
