I have been enjoying this game so far! Only problem is, once I've gathered the bundle of sticks for Bruce, when I go back and talk to him my game crashes every time :/
on the plus side, that quest is non-essential. on the minus side... bug.
I love it! Even though it isn't playable, it reminds me of when I made games on windows XP back in the day with VBScript, Command Prompt among others
My method for making games for jams goes like this:
Day 1: Get a build and "hello world" version built, uploaded, and submitted to the jam. This is what you can see at the moment.
Day 2-Second to Last Day: Add features to the game, and ship it to itch every day. I ship new functionality every day at least once.
Last Day: Play test it for robustness. Fix any bugs, and ship the final.
Oh, and much of the coding is done live on my twitch stream.
I started making games in 1986 on a TRS-80 Color Computer 2, which like most of the computers of the day had a command line interface, and so the first sorts of games I made for them were text based adventures.
very cool! Really exited to see the final product!
Oh...that explains why I couldn't do anything xD
