You have nothing. But at least you can start a job, which will get you some cash. :money_mouth:
Just go to the Twitch channel (https://www.twitch.tv/friikydev) and start idleing today! :money_with_wings: Yes you read that right. This is a Twitch Playes Multiplayer Idle Game. :sunglasses:
IMPORTANT NOTE (08.10.2019): Sorry to say, that I had to make 2 fixes today. 1) the money you get from shares while you are away was not calculated correctly 2) had to fix chat disconnects
Both changes do not affect the gameplay at all. Mechanics and content stays unchanged.
Very nice job! Definitely unique and I love the sound and visuals, especially with the camera panning around the office. Typing out each word feels a bit much for the what you get in return.
The use of Twitch is stunning, but the level of polish in the graphics and audio is also incredible. I'm floored by this entry.
It'd be nice to have a list of all the commands instead of waiting for them to cycle through. The camera panning provides a welcome dash of variety but sometimes hides a player's balance or income. Maybe a chatbot with commands like !balance would help.
Great idea for sure, respects to you for going not traditional! I like the graphics, the sfx is simple but works. I would have loved an audio background track to fill up the atmosphere with a cool mood. Still, good job!
This was really interesting. I really liked how it was a game done in Twitch of all things! The fact that it is multiplayer also gave me a slight sense of teamwork and unity when I looked at the 'LD45 earned' counter.
The audio was also pretty good, nicely capturing an office atmosphere.
Not much gameplay, but as expected of an idle game. Great job!
Thank you all for your comments. I noted suggestions for a post ludum dare version. :) Thanks also for that.
@Baturinsky : The crazy thing is: Till now there is only one bot. Some where there for several hours while I were developing typing (and copy pasting) words by hand!
Nice to see Twitch integration explored with this theme. I think this is executed really well. Overall atmosphere is satisfying and I like the fact that audio is minimalistic. Only echoing keyboard clicks are heard from the environment. It gives more room for the coin sound, that acts as a satisfying player feedback. Graphics are solid and I like the toned down color palette.
I wonder what is the maximum player amount that can play this game at once? Have you stress tested it?
Thank you for all you feedback again. After the ludum dare voting phase I will release the post LD version which in cludes new things to buy, more offices, and will also make it harder for scripters.
All your feedback is in this next version, so thanks for that again.
A very cool game idea and I like the approach for a Twitch Game as a LD Entry. The game looks already "finished" in first place. Maybe some more content for late game or a good motivation for players to keep typing, because after a certain point you will not type anymore only let the game be the idle game which it is in the core.
Yes you are totally right with that. I already prepared a relatively big update which I release after the voting phase. Still the typing might not be worth enough, still. We'll see. :)
Good to be able to observe someone playing it for the first time. The main difficulty is the "long"delay I guess. So you do not get instant feedback in the jam version. In the post jam version this changed.
We'll see how far TwitchPlays games get (not this one but the category in general) as it has potential, but also some restrictions (because of the delay and the screen size).

I would playe more if I could

Best score for humor from me so far.

That moment when I see myself on the screen =)

Great work

But overall a nice Game, very well done.
