Still working my way through the Game Jam entries. I might be doing something wrong or missing the whole point, but I tried a few times and none of the decision choices seemed like they would lead to any sort of "good", happy, or even completely legal ending. Perhaps that was intended due to the last minute nature of the shopping. I also found a bug regarding Priscilla. When I went to try buying the car, it said I already got her a present, even though I hadn't. And after buying the car, I got text indicating I still needed something for her. I saw a couple of interesting mechanics that probably require a plugin to achieve, but it is something I want to think more about.
This was a game design flaw I could not grapple with. It's a "pick your punchline" game which means you only get funny, not necessarily good choices. This meant I will dissappoint people who are used to getting good endings in games
Fun little game. Mapping and the dialogue is done well and the tone of the game fits right in with the theme. I like how you have items that hint at what the other characters would like for Christmas. I did however go into the negative with my money, not sure if that was intended or not. Very fun and whimsical game. Great job!
That was 100% intended as the default engine does not allow negative money. Wrote a small plugin to add support for negative money. Felt it was perfect to rub in the absurdity of Reid's decisions
I LOVED the humor in this one SO MUCH. I was grinning and giggling almost the entire time I played this game. AND it's re-playable too with different options to explore. My overall experience was very enjoyable with this one.
Note: The face graphic for Reid shows him wearing clothes even when he is not.
