GlyphGrpyh I won without

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

needing the coffee or ever going to the store to buy anything.

Nice proof of concept, now needs game balancing to bring out more detailed strategies.

The winning strategy i used:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Work all the time. Sleep when fatique = 64, eat when hunger = 40, which were the amounts those actions restore that I determined through trial and error.

You should need to eat more often, 1 meal should never do you for 40 hours. Juggle it so you always run out of food and then you have to make a choice between buying more food or more coffee. Right now buying coffee makes sense but food never runs out. That alone might break my "sleep/eat" strategy dominance.

Also, the game flow would be much nicer if you got rid of having to click "moving on" and put the next menu right on that page instead.

Yeah, there's a lot of stuff that could be added and changed, but we didn't get to start on it until Friday evening/Early Saturday morning, and we hit the time wall where we had to stop doing stuff. We didn't even finish implementing all of the actual events we had written out, several stats aren't implemented (stress, for example). Random events, like getting a message from your Electricity company that the power will be cut unless you pay a certain amount immediately because your bill is late, that's not in. The various things you can come across on the internet isn't in (despite being fully written).

And it's definitely not balanced!

But we hit the deadline, and this is what we had. As our very first attempt at anything like this, our first game as a team, I'm happy with how we did. If we did it again, I think there's a lot I would do differently and I think we could get even further. (We ended up scrapping a good chunk of our work and having to start over halfway through, without that we'd have had more than we do now at least)

I do think we'd like to do a lot more work on it, but we can't do it now, because that wouldn't be fair to the contest rules. We might end up making a branch where we add content and work on balance this week though. We'll see.

My game if you want to compiler : Here

the win32 exec is available here : here

It isn't story driven and the code isn't great either but it has been designed from the ground up to be somewhat easy to mod (so much so one of my friends is currently writing a small expansion pack for the game).

Thanks for having a look

Hey, can I sign up for the 10 day thing? I don't have a repository though, I'm going to work alone on this, I'll probably set up a repo later though. For a name just use my forum name thx.

[gigaraptor487]

go ahead.

Unfortunately I can't do the 10 day something major came up. Sorry, I will try to help people when I can.

What a coincidence that I'm making my first real attempt at creating a roguelike today. I'm not going to join the competition this time or anything, but...coincidences, y'know?

I could present it as my exciting "walk around empty, pre-generated rooms and never die" "roguelike" though. That'd definitely win some medals.

[gigaraptor487]

Hows the 10 day going for people so far?

[Reelya]

Yo, going good here, I have a (basically) playable game, now to flesh it out with more stuff to do.

Unfortunately, my parents decided that we were going to paint the kitchen this weekend. I was unable to find time to even start my game. I recently got a job so I have no free time on weekdays.

Hello! I'm new here, I got brought in by a desire to make a text game + this intriguing ASCII game jam.

My Entry:
I spent most of my time working on a console tool so I would be able to make a true console game in the languages of the web that I understand best: Javascript, HTML, CSS.

The console tool is called Cobold Console: http://deathraygames.com/play-online/cobold-console/

...and the (half-finished) game is a post-apocalyptic wandering game called Omicron: http://deathraygames.com/play-online/cobold-console/omicron_game.html
 
Let me know what you think!
If anyone would like to use the tool or contribute, just fork it on GitHub.

When/where is the voting happening? What's going on exactly with the results of the three day? I'm confused. When do we send you our address so you can mail out our cash prize?

[Skyrunner]

Yeah, organize stuff better pls!

[gigaraptor487]

After the 10th.

EDIT : Also waiting for captain hammer.

Ok, I've done as much work on my stupid thing as I can be bothered with. It's here, includes windows exe and the source code. Source code is a mess though

http://jgame.net.au/spacething.zip

I have terrible naming sense for these things ^^. It's a thing where you're in space, so it's Space Thing. Didn't get around to putting a save function in there or 90% of what I'd planned but wth
