The game Minister 2.2K is made to give us xp, gastritis of the cafes and also to reflect a little about the situation that passes our country.
Our country, lives a government of backwardness with corrupt and privileged politicians. However, those who have much, decide the lives of those who have little.
Social security reform is an important issue in many countries, but the situation in our country has become a joke, but no one is laughing.
In the game you will control the Minister who is responsible for retiring (or not) the elderly. In a simulation gameplay, and of course, a little humor.
We represent Xondaro, a brazilian dev focused on games with social criticism and less spoken matters. Our work demonstrate not what we imagine about things, but a reflex of what we see outside our window.
Not sure what Tchutchucha means, but I'm guessing it's not a good thing.
Also, without knowing what the retirement situation is in Brazil it's kind of hard to gauge what you're supposed to do.
Applying the UK metric for retirement (be over 65) keeps your morals high but your 'tiger' low. Changing that to 70 gave me 'Tiger' for the first lot, but dropped me for the next lot.
Tried accept/denying based on social class, but that just seemed to swing the meter randomly. Or is that the point?
@geeitsomelaldy Hi friend, how r u doing? Yep, the political situation here is really confuse right now, I believe it's the same in UK with all that Brexit stuff ^^ We just implement a short Briefing in the begining of the game, but we are not expecting the people to understand the situation, cause we are confused too. The intention of the game is transmit that feel of political chaos and the lack of criterium in the government, I think hahaha Thanks for playing and by your nice review :)
@joe-the-really-old Hi friend, how r u doing? Yes, we feel it too. Unfortunately, the government here don't care about that hahaha. And, yes, Papers Please was one of the references that we used, so happy that you got it. Thanks for playing and by your nice review!
@randdir Hi friend, how r u doing? Well, we make the game seems confuse intentionally, the political situation here is chaotic and we are trying transmit that feel ^^ We are so happy that you enjoyed play the game and thanks by your nice review :)
Well done on the artwork! I am confused about the meaning of it as well, but I like the mood of it. Also the introduction text was only displayed for a moment and I couldn't read it fast enough.
@kaleido Thanks for your feedback, we really appreciate your review. Our goal was to transfer to the game the current confusing political scenario of our country. Thanks for playing.
I like the idea. The writeup at the beginning really needs to be something you click out of, instead of timed; I couldn't read it fast enough. It wasn't particularly clear what I was supposed to be doing, as others have commented on. Is it just fulfilling an approximate quota, or do different people give different adjustments based on the conversations? Could use more feedback about how you get judged. Couple of bugs: long conversations tend to exceed the chat window, and after newspaper events I would frequently be asked to rule on an Age:0 nameless baby; how I ruled on that seemed to put huge swings on the meters, too.
Great aesthetics and art - excellent polish - but I feel a bit sad that I don't quite understand the ramifications of my decisions, so I feel like I'm not fully understanding the message.
But I do feel like I got the *idea* of it, and I like that you're using gamedev in this way!
Bem, como eu sei que vocês são brasileiros, eu não preciso escrever em inglês. How Nice!!! Jogo interessante. Achei que ninguém conseguiria fazer um jogo com crítica ao momento político e desastroso do Brasil. Conseguiram unir o tema da JAM com o nosso tema. Parabéns! No princípio eu não entendia bem como escolher os "candidatos" então tentei usar a lógica "dos caras". Fui tchutchuca e tigrão em uma mesma partida! Mais uma vez, parabéns! just to explain to non-Brazilian friends: tchutchuca is a "little F A G" or "B I T C H".
Nós também participamos da Ludum. Venha conhecer nosso jogo:
@pyrian Hi Friend, how r u doing? Thanks for reviewing our game. Its true, the writeup was the last thing that we implemented, and we had not enough time to test that. We gona work on that. The intention of the game is transmit that feel of political chaos and the lack of criterium in the government, but maybe we can work in more feedback on the players action. We will work to fix the bugs too. Thanks for playng :)
@mrspeaker Hi Friend, How r u doing? Hope u r fine! Since im one of the artists, im so glad to hear that hahaha The intention of the game is transmit that feel of political chaos and the lack of criterium in the government, we are confused too, and feel bad about the people who ill cannot retire. Thanks for playing our game!
@euler-moises E aí cara, muito obrigado por jogar! É bom ouvir a opinião de um br pra saber como o jogo será visto por aqui ^^ muito obrigado pelo feedback bro. PS.: just to explain to non-Brazilian friends; we are not trying to be offensive with people with another ideollogicals positions, theres a context abou a joke that a congressman talk hahahaha
Great artwork! Really liked the look of this game, and there were some cool transition effects, like the newspaper spinning in. I also respect that you took the opportunity to comment on a political situation that is important to you. I did have some difficulty fully grasping when it was or wasn't good to allow someone to retire. I also think the beginning story screen could stay up for a little while longer, or allow the player could choose when to progress beyond that point.
Hi, I like this type of decision games I just didn't quite understand why the decisions had the effect they had. Also, I don't speak Portuguese so I don't know what the quote at the end said. :/ But, as mentioned before, I like this types of games, good entry!
@tamail The quot at the end: "Art 6 Are Social rights education, health, work, housing, leisure, security, social security, maternity and child protection, assistance to the homeless, in the form of this Constitution." Brazil Constitution
@ropedog Nice to hear that, since im one of the artists ^^ Thanks for you feedback, we ill try fix that things!!! Thanks for playing and review our game :)
Achei engraçado as gírias em português embora o texto na janela fosse em inglês lksdjgelkf Fora as coisas no geral que tu só saca se for do Brasil. Lendo o feedbeck da galera que não é brasileira, acho interessante como a maioria não entendeu muito bem quais são os critérios pras decisões, já que a nossa situação política é algo tão confuso que nós mesmos não entendemos. Gostei de como vocês usaram o tema da jam pro jogo. O tempo de tela com introdução do jogo e os jornais estão muitos, acho que ficaria melhor se tivesse um botão de continuar ou a tela sair só depois que o usuário desse um click, acabei tendo que tirar print das telas para poder ler os textos com calma.
@lauramei Muito obrigado pelo feedback, vamos trabalhar para implementar essas mudanças sim!!! Ficamos muito felizes que tenha gostado do nosso jogo e muito obrigado por ter jogado!
