A game that mixes the classic card game "Memory" with Dementia. How is that for incompatible?
This project is a text adventure game that will run right in your windows CMD-window. It is my first c++ project on this type of scale, and since I'm very intrigued by Handmade Hero I've written everything from scratch myself.
Therefore I'm a bit nervous that there will be something wrong with my submission... It's hard to test when you only have a single computer at home and it's 03:00 AM. Fingers crossed!
Since I'm new to c++, this game is windows only for the time being! I actually have most of it working on Linux already, but not good enough for release.
Great mood! Very sad. It made me feel old and lonely.
I scored 4/4! :-)
It's fun with a console based game too, and it's not just normal stdin/stdout stuff either.
The feedback (or lack of it) to keypresses is a bit unexpected sometimes. At first I thought I should press enter after pressing a key, and sometimes it seemed like keypresses were lost if I pressed too quickly during the memory game, but that was probably because I pressed while the text was still appearing.
Oh such sad game, you really got the mood right. I loved text based adventure games back in the days, so I got really exited when I saw what you was up to. I'm impressed of how it ended up! :-) Great job with the story!
A great take on the theme. I really liked it, I love this kind of storytelling, and it's really well written, and incredibly sad. Like, the feeling is real. Sadly I didn't finished it, it bugged. I typed one number during the card game a bit before the game asked me, and now it's stucked. Aside from that, it's a solid entry, and definitely a great game.
I'm laughing so hard I'm crying. I think I need to feed my cat. Or maybe I need to rate your game. No, I'm pretty sure it's the cat. This was an awesome game. I think I crashed the car but I can't remember.
Now this is how you make an amazing console game. I did not play through all the endings, but even after the first try it got me so hooked. I feel like you should write stories for some bigger games!
Memory and Dementia. Well, a sad ironie of life. :o Interesting combination and the writing is good. I got the game over 'good ending'. I will try it again because I have this feeling that something is wrong there. :D
@Houruck@Random Thoughts, sorry for letting your down. That screen shake effect was really cool, and I spent too much time during the compo to make it work. But in the end I couldn't find any valid use for it. But I guess the biggest issue was the lack of time. I'm really hoping I can put it to use in another project soon =) And thanks for playing!!
This was pretty intriguing, and the text adventure portion of the game was a great format for combining these two genres. I was trying so hard to memorize the card orders for the memory part that I didn't pay enough attention to the story :rofl: but I got the sad ending where I died in the forest with my cat, so I guess if there's one way to go, it would be just that. Overall, I enjoyed it but perhaps I will pay more attention to the actual story next time lol.
