Let your scribbler have doughnuts and sacrifice its health for mood, or let it have broccoli and sacrifice its mood for health?
Either way, sacrifices must be made if your scribbler is going to scribble up and publish awesome classics about your legendary deeds to increase your reputation in the material world, since it ever only thinks positively of you if it is happy.
You don't have to feed your scribbler when the stomach bar is full. In fact you can't, but when you do feed, it'll either lose health or mood.
FIXED: ~~Noted bug: Game will freeze after playing it for a while. I will fix it as soon as I can.~~
Not the best looking game on campus, but interesting and original concept. I wasn't for sure what to do at first, but it reminded me of my own eating habits. I'll eat really healthy for a while, but then feel so annoyed I have to eat only the unhealthiest junk food to feel good. cool stuff
Pretty clever game. The art and sound effects/music are very charming. I appreciate the fact that you can actually read what is being written and even view the body after death.
Haha, cute and quirky game! It made me happy playing it. Music and sounds are quite fitting also, nice work! Is there a way to end up NOT dead? :-) I sure didn't manage to do it though. =)
@rolle Thank you! Glad you like it! Nope, there's only failure state at the moment. :laughing: Maybe I should've been more optimistic and implemented some kind of success state.
@kddressel Thank you!! Although that took up hours of my precious time.
@mrjackhpil Thank you! You don't have to feed it when the stomach is full. The idea is that each time you feed, you're taking on a risk that sacrifices must be made, be it mood or health, but you're forced to feed, to take that risk, when the stomach bar is not full. You need to keep the scribbler happy but doing that makes it unhealthy, keeping it healthy however, makes it unhappy. It only writes good things about you if it's happy, to increase or maintain your reputation. Good reputation earns you more money.
it seems like he is saying "it shall buy you" lolol ... kinda funny looking creature you had in there btw, i like it ... the music however is just a bit annoying i must say ... i like the ida of sacrifice you did here ...
@christina-antoinette-neofotistou Thank you!! You, a master artist and master gamedev that I've been following for a while who's also this LD's keynote speaker saying that about my game is sooo encouraging!! :laughing: Thank you, I am so happy!!
@velvetlobster Thank you!! Is the music too loud? I'm still pretty new to music. Will do better next time!
@eva Thank you!!! This is the first time I've made an intro for a game. Glad you like it!
Neat concept, it seems pretty unique! I had fun stuffing donuts into my little scribbler's face at the expense of its health (It just sounded so happy! And so grossed out when given the broccoli haha). Nicely done overall :)
This game was so CUTE i love it. I really wanted to be able to really read what it was writing about me, though - it was tough to read and still feed my scribbler too. I was really hoping it'd show the masterpieces that my scribbler got to write at the end once I lost. Maybe someday! Awesome silly fun job.
Challenging game! I included it in my compilation video series of games from the Ludum Dare, if you’d like to take a look :) https://youtu.be/piFMgX8tbrA

It's pretty hard to manipulate your healthy/happy stuff.
I doesn't feel what exactly here about sacrifices but anyway it looks and play nice.
