I was away over the holidays - so just picked it up now. What a great spread! Thanks @Vasari! (The shortbread is wonderful it's all wonderful)

Well - it's, uhm, a thing. To be frank, I'm not sure what I set out to make - and I'm certainly not sure what I've created. But here it is! https://itch.io/jam/wizard-jam-4/rate/102177 Pizza tonight! (I haven't had a chance to make sure it works on PC - so please let me know if you're having any problems. Hope you like it!)

Thanks! Glad you liked it! It's always hard to tell how something like this will be received...

Secret ending!

This is only my second WizJam - so here's a grain of salt to wash down my $0.02: The good: I love how relaxed the game jam is. I get the strong feeling that Wizard Jam is really about the process of making games, not the result. Allowing 2 weeks + flexible deadlines allows people with time to tackle ambitious projects, while also allowing the rest of us busy folks to chip in with some smaller projects. The great: Nice comments on a dev thread / itchio pages! I find these much more meaningful than awards. The "maybe-could-use-improvement-but-I'm-not-totally-sure": I found the list of diversifiers to be a bit overwhelming. Sometimes less is more (well, not literally, but figuratively). Finally - thanks everyone! Thanks everybody that had a hand in organizing, and thanks to everyone who forms this bizarre and wonderful community. You're a good bunch. #TeamDotGobbler #LetThemEatDots #NoRulesIsRuleTwo #DotsDotsDots

Thanks for the heads up! I'll see if I can find out what's going on.

Thanks! Like I said, this is not the game I set out to make...

I really like the aesthetics - but I think there might be a bug: I can't get beyond the title screen. Pressing enter brings up the menu, but pressing enter again dismisses it

Whoa - I love this concept for the engine and game. Really cool idea. It might benefit from some way to know how many objects / interactables are in a scene (like a minimap, or slight glows in the FOV, etc.) ...that said, I really want to make a game about a blind protagonist using this engine.

This is wonderful. The grading system works really well

Wow - this looks amazing! You should turn this into a full game

Hi everyone, I'm developing a game around Idle Thumb's "Pizza Tonight" episode. I have an idea for a dynamic story telling engine but since I'm not short on time, I'm going to make a kid's game. So far I've got the engine running - but it's occasionally a little eccentric... "Pizza Tonight" is the story of a child connecting with his Grandmother through the art of pizza making. Bonus diversifiers: Ludo-Narrative Dissonance.

I've been busy working on the story - things are really coming together! Writing for a kid's game is interesting - I'm having to pull some tricks to keep the narrative running.

This looks amazing!

Update: Haven't had too much time to play around with this - just been doing general aesthetic improvements. I've also added music as well as a way to see how your choices stack up against the community (similar to Tell Tale games).

SHOOT THAT PIZZA Here's my (super late) release for Wizard Jam 2016. It's, uhm, a thing. Find it here: https://wstacey.itch.io/shoot-that-pizza Or here: https://itch.io/jam/wizard-jam-2016/rate/68473 But not here: http://weather.gc.ca/city/pages/on-82_metric_e.html The game was created in less than 48 hours on very little sleep - so I haven't had time to debug or test it properly. Please let me know if you're having troubles installing or playing it!

(But thanks for giving it a play!)

Thanks for the feedback on the game! You all are great!
