Yeah, I gave it a test run and it looks great.  I replaced the previous game download on gamejolt.

Thanks again, especially for the fast turnaround considering I gave you no time to do it in

Just trying it out, there's a fairly serious bug I think where you can't actually view your inventory. I picked up a total of three objects and pressing F4 just yields the response "You're not carrying anything".

[gumby]

Yeah the inventory screen got sacrificed unfortunately   Just ran out of time.

A cosmetic thing, in the intro the title flashes if the cursor is over it.

[gumby]

Wait MI, I misread your comment.  Not only did I not implement the inventory screen, I flat out didn't implement the inventory at all (and that was a complete oversight).  That is a pretty bad bug.  The only good thing is that there isn't a lot of things to pick up/put down.  But still, it would be nice if at least it would have listed what you are carrying!

Collector:  You are right - another miss on my part.  If I had just used AddToPic to the title view, it wouldn't have that horrible blinking.

Ug guys.  Just too many things to keep track of 

[MusicallyInspired]

That's ok. It's practice.

[Collector]

Practice to see what it was like to have Ken cracking a whip over you to get the game finished?

Gumby, I suppose you can always do another version for bug fixes after the contest.

[gumby]

Yeah but then I'd be tempted recreate the game how I originally envisioned.  A good point though, if it really bothers me I just might.

Not soon though,  need a break

Well Gumby, I hate to say it, but on the inside I am smiling... Not because I wanted to see you make a game with a few bugs but because of the endless lists of bug fixes that you always managed to uncover for me.  Just goes to show how important that play testing is.

Good work though in getting it started and finished in a week time frame. I don't think I could do it without cheating and starting on it early.

There was a game though I saw listed on the jam site. As of last night it hadn't been submitted yet, I haven't checked back yet to see if it is there or not. But I couldn't help but think that it should definitely be made in SCI, Mixed up Mythology.

Touche, touche .  Yeah, if I had to do it again, I'd say I should get it done in half the time, then spend the other half of the time in an endless test/fix loop until the end of the jam.  I thought my playtesters did pretty well, but they aren't really adventure gamers.  Still, they gave me a massive laundry list each time they played it of inputs that didn't work as expected.  I also got some feedback from my brother and he tore it apart too - but this was after I submitted it for the jam, so too late to do anything about it.  Let's hear it for waaaaay more testing.

Oh and it was a 2 week jam, not one week.  If it had been just one week, forget it .

[MusicallyInspired]

It's definitely a feat to finish anything even in a mostly-complete state in two weeks. Especially for an adventure game. I'm sure many of the other contributions have similar issues as well. Cheers.

[gumby]

Thanks MI, haven't had a chance to check any of the other entries yet.  I probably should, it might make me feel better.  Or not...

Sir... WTF 

I just finished Soulshade Asylum... uhm

Can you retain your sanity long enough to solve the murder and escape?

What.... you didn't like the ending?  I believe that is still an accurate description

[Doan Sephim]
