um I how what the i got a 504 gateway time out...
Is there really a virtual boy build? :red_circle: :black_circle: Please upload some gameplay or screenshots!
However, if you refresh the page, the game should be exactly as you left off. Just "login" with whatever. If you didn't notice, that page does nothing. :)
I managed to play twice without hiring a single League of Legends player, along with being called "the elite of the elite of the elite." eventually. I'll take that as a victory.
Only thing I was a bit confused was on the choice of music, as I had to mute it due to the short loop getting into the way of my very meticulous hiring process.
:D
:DDDDD
Great humour and fantastic concept. I would've liked the game reacting to my mouse input faster, but I guess that was a deliberate choice to make the whole "office" setting even more immersive :D
The game stopped reacting completely shortly after it called me asshurt though, so I don't know who has the real problems :shrug: (this one isn't intended, I'd guess?) /edit: turns out the server went down... Will play later to finish the game for sure!
Nonetheless, well done, I really had fun playing this :D
You really pushed the theme to another level and you hit so hard with this game. While i was playing i really started to feel like i'm an HR worker and at that point i was like " I need to stop! "
Cheers mates, you really did your job really great and got yourself such a nice game in so little time. I am ready to see what you can do when you are not constrained to only a weekend!
Unfortunately, I clicked too much on an Hire button at some point and the game got stuck :(
I enjoyed playing! I am still wondering if the server going down and me having to resend the data to continue the game was a part of the game ;).
The only strange thing is that often on CV I found skills/traits listed double. Maybe it was intentional, as somebody was twice as good at sniffing feet as the next guy so he just had to list it twice :laughing:
Great job!
@fabula-rasa Thanks for playing! Unfortunately no, the server issues are not part of the game. We've tried to figure out what's going on, but found nothing. Probably just what we get for using a cheap VPS to host it. But if it adds to the immersion for you, all the better. ;)
Also we're aware attributes can show up more than once on a resume. It's not intentional exactly, but we weren't in a big hurry to fix it as it can have funny results as you found :D
