Mr.Filton Deluxe

Wow! The AI was great and the animation was funny!

Really great game, didn't expect to see a game about drawing on here!

I saw your blog post about this one and was excited to try it! 10/10 GOTY. It took me a while to figure out that I had to open the create menu to add drawings. I guess that should've been obvious. Is the drawing placement random or is there a way I can manipulate that? Love the art and style. Mr. Filton is certifiable creepy pasta bait. Well done!

@bingtheping @benjamin-halko Thank you guys :smiley:

Responding to @daniel-foutz

Thank you very much for playing it, it is randomized, i had no time left for a good "paste" system of drawing rendered brushes, the tutorial was done before and i have to rework that, as Mr.Filton tells you to click simply the brush, not to open the menu and all of that you know.

In the future you may be able to save your drawing "things", and a cut feature was to give them a category "Guard, Sentry or Structure", all the game is procedural and i will never know how much the user will be able to reach!

Hope you have fun with this experiment :smiley:

PD: I KNEW people would draw C*cks hahaha

Finally I managed to draw a little dragon :laughing:
Once I figured out how to draw I had a lot of fun! Great job!

This is a great game!. I loved the idea of drawing your defences and protecting the heart. Great work on this! Will be playing this one a few more times.

Fun unique idea and great design for the UI and Mr. Filton. Shame you couldn't get more balancing done but I kind of enjoyed cheesing my way to round 25 haha. Glorious lines!
I hope you work on it more as the idea is so fun!

If i could see how many health left of my creations and my heart, i believe the game would be more interesting. Or maybe show the damage my creations have done. Its a good game though!

That was pretty cool! I loved drawing different things and watch them come to life with the cute animation!

Initially I thought it was a cute drawing game, but then soon I realized. I love the very odd and dystopian mood you have created with the characters and descriptions made me view the game in a different light!

Also damn that tutorial was very creepy (in a good way ofc) :3

Keep up the amazing work!

I love the mechanic to draw your own allies - it's a very fun feature, but once I draw them all I was bored till the end of the game. It has strong potential but needs to be refined and balanced. For example, maybe some colors should act differently than others?

So fun and so innovative, i like the idea !!!!!! 20/20

THIS GAME IS GREAT FUN!! It's a fresh new mechanic from what i've been trying out so far during the jam!
Loved the bounce animations they were cute! However i think enemies should be able to destroy allies or that allies just lasted a certain amount of rounds because once you've drawn enough the game just plays by itself, still an amazing work! Kudos

This is a very cool concept! I liked the AI and how the drawing system works.

Great job!

Super innovative! Took me a while to figure out I needed to open the create menu in order to draw, But once I figured out I had fun with it.

Incredible game idea, I can't stop thinking about all the possibilities how the game can be expanded.
Mr. Filton definitely made me feel a little uneasy, what a character!

This is a great idea, I love games where you can be creative as a player, and the way you did that is great!
I feel like maybe displaying the health of each character and the heart'health could help understand what kind of drawing is more efficient.
The old computer program effect is great, and mrFilton is quite fun. However as a non native english speaker, I struggled a bit trying to understand the synthetized voice. Maybe add subtitles if you have the time next time:)

I had a lot of fun, and I would definitly come back to this to try new drawings later. Thank you for the game!

Thank you all very much for playing it.. Im out of words, it feels great watching what you can create,i thought this was going to be just another more game on my back, but it is very fun to play, and so modular. I will keep up the development of the game, here's what i'm working on:

-Define specific attributes to your creation "Arm, Leg, Weapon" "Arm= fight/attackSpeed, Leg= movement" ###

-Redraw your creations "The longer phases, the more damage could take from enemies" ###

-Save System "Save your drawing buddies" ###

-UI Health for the creations ###

-Each 10 phases, Mr.Filton tries a bigger creation for you "Boss" ###

Can't wait to see your awesome defenses agsinst Mr.Filton!

Awesome to get to draw out little characters or lines and have them bounce around, sad to see them wander off screen. Great entry!

Cool game, I liked the drawing mechanic and Mr. Filton even though he was a little creepy. The only thing I would suggest is that the tutorial would be a little more clear on how to draw because it took me a little while to figure it out and Mr. Filton got very mad. But other then that it's a pretty fun game!

It's a pretty fun idea but I don't know if I'm doing it right lol.

I tried to make jjust a bunch of dots to see if I could cheese and just kept having to wait around, nothing really happened.

Also the tutorial was a bit unclear (not only with the instructions but also the TTS was almost incomprehensible xd) but you already know that so it's ok.

What I did love about the game though is the community aspect of it! Seeing people share what they drew must be so fun! Made me psyched to do something like that on a future jam!

Congrats!! You are today's lucky receiver of a free fan art!!!

@fupi THIS IS AWESOME! I fell from the chair and everything! Thank you very much Fupi for the support, gorgeous art right here, you're a real artist no matter what Mr.Filton could say about haha!
I really want to keep this going, thanks, it means a lot to me, let's draw into this universe more :smiley:

Okay, this concept is fresh. As I type this message, my unstoppable army of male genitals is bravely defending the heart. However, apart from me drawing another one every minute or so, there's not much to do. I wish there was more customization and control over your units (e.g. telling them what to do and where to go) with ramped up difficulty. Additionally, a way to look around the canvas would be appreciated, because for me there was a lot of things happening off-screen late-game.

Again, creative idea you've executed right here, so you're definitely getting points for innovation!

Fun game. I would like to have a fast forward option, as my army of hearts just beat the enemies right in the first couple seconds of a fight. As others mentioned was most of the fight happening off-screen. Still a great concept and I look forward to a even more polished version at some point :)

A really unique idea!

That is so cool! It took me a while before I knew I had to open the create menu. The whole screen looked like something you could draw on. Especially because of the cursor, whic was a paintbrush. The only reason I kept trying is because of the reactions here in the comment section. I'm glad I figured it out, this was awesome!

What a brilliant idea! I felt really dumb at first though, furiously trying to draw directly on the screen, and not using the create menu. Mr. Filton was not pleased. At all. Great game!

I really like this game! The concept, gameplay, theme, it just mixes well and it have really nice vibe to it. You can make weird drawings and finally i can make my own Among Us!

This was incredibly fun. I love the concept! Drawing our own defenses.. so cool 😄 Well done!

I'm impressed, cool game mechanics! Great job! you are great!

Thank you all very much! :heart: Today i have released an update for the game:

-It saves now your entire progress and drawings ###

-Now you can display how much health your creations have ###

-A skip button has been introduced, so that you don't have to wait :v: ###

-More Ink earning for your drawings ###

-More detail in your creations.. More attack speed and damage! ###

Cool little toy, I enjoyed playing around. There didn't seem to be too much strategy, and I discovered that lots of little guys is really an end-all tactic, but I enjoyed this. I had tons of fun watching my squishy little creations battle it out with the hoards. I'd advise making the manipulation of stats much more obvious somehow, maybe with colours?

This is cool!!! I enjoyed drawing and letting my creation fight.
Animations are really nice, simple but give my drawing life.
I played around to see how the HP are generated and good concept! (my record is 860HP) I can see that with some more of such rules you could created a complete game based on this.
Congratulations to the innovative, fun game!

A lot to like about this game! Loved seeing my creations duke it out with those little squash and stretch animations! :smile:

Love the concept! Not sure what I did but the game felt a bit easy after I flooded the game area with cheap drawnings :D

Great job on the game. I liked the idea of drawing your own defenses and it was a fun time creating things and watching them battle. I do wish there was a bit more to do once you made your creations that could add a bit more depth to the combat. Overall though well done.

This was a ton of fun. I would suggest checking out "Magic Pengal: The Quest for Color" it was a ps2 game that had similar mechanics wrapped up in an interesting story. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_Pengel:_The_Quest_for_Color

Here is a highlight from the stream: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1451440143?t=00h17m17s

I had a lot of fun with this one-especially since I could poorly draw emoticons. The artstyle and music is on point for the aesthetic you're going for, and the gameplay is a defending a point game, but given so much more heart via being able to draw your own soldiers. This entry does suffer quite a bit from the drawing soldiers being all there is in terms of gameplay-with the rest of the game just being watching how things turn out. Despite that, I enjoyed my time. Good entry.

Gaze upon my army in fear.

Had a good time watching my little circles blow up the zombies.

hahaha!!!! So fun! draw!!! Draw moree!!!
Good job!

Cool idea and I like the character of Mr. Filton.

I don't like that you only have a limited amount of ink, kind of limits creativity. There also doesn't seem to be much strategy other than filling the board with as many creations as you can.

Love the aesthetic of the game! (My game has similar era vibes ;) )

Took me a little while to figure out what was going on, and then it became quite easy -- I just made a big ol' army of squares to take over the world. It was really cool to draw creations and see them do battle, not a thing I've encountered before!

I'd be interested to figure out how the shapes you draw could affect gameplay...

Interesting concept! I included it in my Ludum Dare compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look. :) https://youtu.be/QO-q-Xmgol0
