Jeg har ingen anelse hvad plottet var, eller hvad jeg lavede. (Jeg fulgte faktisk med mens jeg spillede)

(1 edit)

It is a bit confusing, and we do not have names for the characters in the game yet. This will be added in a future update.

- William

girlypops plottet starter først ordentlig når vi har lavet de næste scener

The text overlaps because you use too many symbols in the same dialogue box, which GB Studio doesn't handle very well. Kinda lacks some gameplay, but nice story.

(1 edit)

This is the Intro-phase of our game, it is meant to be dialogue heavy, while easing you into the controls (Which we still need to add in a future update.)

- William

got stuck on the scene with the statue of liberty beside that a great game with som humor and a little wierd

(1 edit)

the Statue of Liberty scene is currently the final portion of this demo! It will be expanded upon in the near future.

- William

there is more dialouge then gameplay wich is a little boring, and the game just suddenly ends with no explanation or anything, i spent a good 2 minuts trying to figure out why, but ended up asking the game dev and they said it wasnt finish, the story seems good though

(1 edit)

Yes, the game is dialogue heavy in the beginning, that is because it is an intro to the story!


We know the game ends abruptly, the next parts are still "Work in Progress." :)

- William

The story is somehow simultaneously too fast to have any kind of impact while also making the game feel slow and boring.

(1 edit)

We like your feedback, however I am a bit confused!

Could you be so kind as to expand on your points, so we can better work on our game?

:)

- William

ok

I love how the story turned out, especially the interaction with sis. The backgrounds maybe need a little love, just so you know the difference between the rooms. Maybe a bit more gameplay, but otherwise good

(1 edit)

We are currently working on an expansion to the story. while we do agree that the backgrounds are very bland, we need it to maintain the visibility of our player character (And other NPCs) :)

- William

nice story, but there's very little actual gameplay and a quite confusing ending

(1 edit)

There isn't an ending yet. It is an unfinished section that is currently being worked on.


However we are very glad that you enjoy our story, it means a lot :)

The table is turned on its head, am I right? :D

(1 edit)

Yeah we tried telling the person responsible.


It's been like this since the day we made that background (A WHILE AGO


It's funny though.

- William

the table is a square? girlypops it's the same from every angle?

Prettiest poster i've ever seen. That statue of liberty, yeee, bonita.

(1 edit)

I wholeheartedly agree!!!!

- William

Very greatly made it tells a story but some points are hidden like Spoiler alert! Did the mother poison the father or did he just die. And we don't find out much about the character other than they have a mom and had a dad and they are going to america

(1 edit)

The father's death is meant to be ambiguous, but you can discern it through text-cues on the mothers part.


We know, and we plan on flushing out the story a bit more in the future! :)

- William

Story is good, missing a bit more details on the backgrounds since they end up looking similar

(1 edit)

Yes! We know! This is due to the fact our player's sprite is not very visible on a non-monotone background. Skill issue on our part i guess.


We are still glad you enjoyed the Story.

- William

So... There is a lot of dialog, and not really much available gameplay, where you can move.

(1 edit)

We plan on flushing out the gameplay a bit more, it is, as stated in our description, still a prototype :)


(also this is an intro, there will be more once you reach America)

- William

there's a lot of dialog and not a lot of actual gameplay, but I really like the feel of the game so far

(1 edit)

Thank you for the feedback!

The game is, as stated in our description, a prototype. What you are currently seeing is an introduction to the story of Sadie Browne, and it will be flushed out a bit later on. :)

- William

I got confused about who's talking.

(1 edit)

We will make sure to add names in the future :)

- William

He meant icons
-Mads

fire is best at killing babies?! thanks for the advice... hehe
