I was also effected by this before. Would it be possible to exclude users from this check that, for example, registered more than a year ago and/or have more than 100 posts?

Yup from me and Tamara!  I was planning on raising the subject in the new year, but looks like you got there first.

Would that just be the two of your or is this going to be a family thing?

@heltenjon I know jokes don't get better if you explain them, but please help me out with that so I can learn something.

Sounds like my 2 year old who just started to add "-et" to verbs to make them past tense (not how it works in German). For present tense she adds "sein" to verbs or nouns ("being" in English, so she makes sentences like "car being", "eat being"). Which, of course, is super cute in that age, and totally not gear grinding.

Maybe you should just imagine those "-eth" sayers being 2 years old and pat their heads?

@WHAM
If you are happy with the current location, there is no need to move it

@WHAM Would you like me to move the thread over to the Adventure Related board? It's an adventure game after all, and it might be noticed by more people over there.


I don't think there is a point in breaking the padlock. We could just pass under the bar and enter whatever there is behind. I see two options for now:


> 1) Go back in the car, grab a coffee at the rest stop and go home. Adventure over.

> 2) Turn off your car's headlights and enter the area behind the gate.

The story of the first game could have some meta elements, like the main character could be a person that wants to be a game developer with a released game, and they struggle with scope, design, ...

That's a really cool idea. I can also imagine the first puzzles that shows off dialog trees: Convince your older brother that he will let you use the computer to make a game. You have to prove that you are worthy of it:
"What do you do when you don't know how to use a specific function?"
- "You search the manual and the forum."
- "You ask your brother."
- "You make a forum post titled 'HELP!!1!'."

Since the judging period of the game jam ended

You forgot to mention the most important fact: Your game has won the Adventure Game Challenge! https://itch.io/jam/106-adventure-game-challenge

 
Congratulations!

I think having two different demo games, one simple and one advanced is a good idea.

I think the simple game should focus on basic adventure game features. It would be great if it also has a "story", with a proper start and beginning. Nothing special, just a way to show people how to do a menu screen, game play, puzzles and end credits.

* Walkable ares with walk-behinds (both, objects with specific z-order and real walk-behinds)
* Inventory
   * Picking up
   * Looking at
   * Combining items
* Dialogs
* Animations
* Default responses
* Menu screen
* Credits
* Music
* Sound
* Scrolling backgrounds
* Translations

The advanced game could include more fancy stuff like custom dialog GUIs, timed puzzles, custom drawn backgrounds, voice acting,...

I don't have anything, whoever wants my turn can take it.

Thanks! I had a great birthday - dinner with friends and then a night at a club. Your wishes made my birthday even better

I don't have much time to play games anymore, but every time there is a new lorenzo game, I have to play it.
Lovely game! It's cute but also a bit sad and makes you think and smile at the same time. The length is perfect for me. Graphics are wonderful as always.
The puzzles are on the easier side but with some nice twists.

What could be improved:
I hope you find time after the jam to fix the typos and grammar issues.

Spoiler

At the beginning, when your find your tasks they disappear somewhere to the top left but don't show up in the inventory, yet. Maybe you could show the list inventory item from the start and add items as you find them? Or just don't show the text swooshing over the screen and vanish.

Happy Birthday Andy, one of the most active reviewers!

Gunma Riots?
Nagano Legends?
Gifu Stories?
 

I'll try it again:

Oh my, with our talent for messing up such stories I think we and our sister will end up either dead or in jail 

I don't like sugar in my coffee, but almost all types of iced coffee you can buy ready made at supermarkets have tons of it.
