Ludum Date

co-authored: @maru-nascimento
The big night is here, and despite dozens of scheduling issues, you finally have her all for yourself...

Or so you thought.

Experience the joys of meeting the girl of your dreams while you tackle the incredibly hard task of keeping her attention all to yourself.

Fight against a smartphone that rings ~~every 10 seconds~~ incessantly and do your best to make this the date you dreamed of.

DISCLAIMER:
We chose Extra/Casual to have a bit more time to work on the actual narrative. So far, the gameplay is super short, so check back later to play it on an actual working state! :D

I wait after void the bar and do nothing more :(

Agree with prev comment. Like art, though I stuck on "test" something

I would really like to give it a shot however everytime I get past the second dialogue option it just says test and gets stuck. The art looks really great and I loved the menu

I like the concept, unfortunately I got about two dialogue options in before I abruptly hit the credits trying to check the phone. After that, I got "Test | Test" cutting to a developer logo and "0 | 0" with no ability to advance dialogue.

I know you're still working on this, and it's already a lot further along than my Extra; I'll hold off on rating and check back next week to see how things are coming along. Good luck!

Really cute artstyle!!!!! It's just lacking content and I ran into some bugs other people have gotten such as "Test" and "0". Hope you guys develop this more, as it has a great foundation. But right now, it's just unfinished.

With this level of art style it definitely deserves better polishing from other aspects. Anyway nice entry!

Upd. Oh sorry, didn't spot that it's an extra entry! You still have some time to polish then!

Hey all! GD / Dev here.

We're very happy with everyone's feedback on the game's art, and if you haven't played since the first week, we invite you all to try the game again!

Like Maru said before me, the "text" bug was actually lack of content, so seeing a "Text" or "Test" dialogue meant you had reached the end of the dialogue options at the moment. And while we have further extended the gameplay, it's still super short and sadly unfinished.

It was tough to manage full-time jobs, side-projects and working on this game with the quality we wanted it to have. Besides, making something like a Visual Novel on Construct 3 was a trial on its own.

Overall, we're happy with how the game currently looks and very proud of what we've achieved so far. This was one of the best game jams we've participated in a long while, and we plan on updating the game for a "post-jam" polished and complete version at a later date with no deadlines!
