Mockup:
(http://www.2bam.com/magic/lovelove_mockup_1.png)


Idea:
You need to talk. You don't know what's happening to you.
Fuck everybody until you realise, after 48 hs (or <yet to define> real minutes).

You can gain interest from people to get stuff to help you move faster around the map.
If you use people too much you'll make them angry and never get gifts from them again.

(A GTA1/Paperboy kind of gameplay)



I probably won't make it to the deadline :beer:


Disclaimer: Please do not play the game if you feel offended by sex or reality.

Oooh, a game about love.

So that's what that fourth gift is!

Ok, got a first-tier lame map generator sort of working and the minimap. Hurray  8)
The game will feature the worst vehicle mechanics ever.
Also recording a timelapse.

(Oh, you might start stuck in a house or something... press SPACE to regenerate map)

Haha, that looks interesting. The car is on fucking ice, but maybe the awful controls will add to the charm. :P

I thought that too... but being the character a lady everybody will think I'm trying to make a point  :lol:
Not the case thou, it's just that I'm lazy to do it right... partially, at the very least hehe

Update
There are some pedestrians going around. Have to think a good way to make the cars work.
Sex simulator is almost finished (for the first guy for now)

"Hm, this looks fun.  Space to interact, eh?  Might as well hit i-oh God this is not what I was expecting.  No this is very different.  Ah jeez."

:lol:

I gotta get home and play this.

I played the demo, it does have the worst vehicle mechanics ever, congrats! car handles more like a skateboard doing unintentional tricks!

Heheheh, it's in the previous prototype... The el Car-o will return in the next version probably.

I'm really busy with work, so I don't think I'll be able to code some more until the weekend.

v0.03

More in shape.

http://www.2bam.com/proto/LoveLove.html?v=06 v0.6

More playable, scores, run over people, sexy timing, etc.

At this point I'd really appreciate some feedback (specially on gameplay)

Cheers :beer:

First of all: Pretty sweet, even if the... cumsplosion... when you finish with a guy is kind of gross.  I would love it if I could do more than fuck, though.  Definitely cool as is, just a little monotonous.  Jealousy should be a bit easier to raise (I did it with two guys probably twenty times and guy three wasn't even half-way jealous) and maybe a few canned lines for guys to say.  That last part might be a bit too much, but it would be awesome.  You could always outsource a writer, I guess.
This is where I subtly point to myself

Well this is certainly something interesting. I agree, gameplay is a little repetitive right now, and did the cars get even harder to handle? Also, you should probably add a disclaimer in the game and in the first post of your thread warning people of the content, even if it's just a bunch of blocky pixelated little people.

Done  :)

Thanks for the feedback guys, any more ideas on how to make it better?

About the one-liners, it's cool but I'm now focusing on balacing a bit more the mechanics (as the jealousy thing you pointed out, thanks :) )

Cars are the same but as they are so unintuitive they probably seem harder each time, sort of like a barbershop pole of awkwardness.

What I really want to do now is add some gifts (other than the keys) and constant points for people over 80% interest: you need to keep them interested so they give you points each N seconds.

And find some cool Bluegrass or Gipsy Swing "free" song to make it whole (I added some sounds and will finish that probably tomorrow)

Later!

That was... different.

Your ideas for new mechanics sound interesting... my sole addition would be to add some kind of score display somewhere during gameplay itself. The +10 and +20s are nice, but they just seem to kind of vanish into the mists at present.

Also, the 'light dots' on the minimap don't seem to consistently correspond with anything. (Do your 'contacts' occasionally leave...?)

Hilarious concept. Using a guy just to take his car to someone else's house is appropriately disgusting. Looking forward to seeing how it develops.

I expected the guys to get angry when I didn't return their cars, or hit their cars with another car. Cars in general are pretty awkward to drive. Might make an interesting mechanic, where more responsive cars require more sex to get the keys for.

It's hard to tell that you're affecting people when you haven't visited them recently, although that might be the point. Didn't see any form of negative consequences during my playthrough. I'd love to see the guys bar their doors, take away their keys, tell others not to trust you, fight other guys for your affection, etc.

I didn't realize at first that potential mates don't show up on the minimap, only ones you've already been with.

Part of me wants to see the guys have names to individualize them more, but another part of me thinks it's fine since the player character clearly doesn't think of them as individuals. It might be good narrative-wise to make the initial boyfriend more distinct somehow. I do like how he never seems to get jealous or angry, that his interest level never wanes, and that he seems to be the only screwable guy without a car in the town.

One time, a random pedestrian wandered into a house while I was having sex and got trapped there for the rest of the game. :lol:

The goodbye animation of blowing kisses with a handkerchief is delightfully sissy.

I thought it was the guy smoking a cigarette?  Makes more sense in the context of the game.

Yeah, that was also what I read it as.

Ahhh, that's what I love about pixels :lol:.
Another person thought the guys were crying and blowing their noses.
What would Freud had to say? :P

Cavalcadeofcats, yes, you're right, I forgot to put the score somewhere in the hud :)

Hi Noyb, nice to see you around!
Thanks for the big review,

I thought of that exactly when I ""finished"" the car code hehe. Also I made some other car models but couldn't use them yet.

Yeah, that was the original plan, but I'm running out of time and have a lot to work on (dayjob-wise)

But they do, in light gray dots. Maybe I have more contrast on my screen and can see them? I'll make it more obvious.

Yes, I agree.
Any ideas?

Hahahahha, there are others (with houses away from the street), but the boyfriend never owns a car.

What an imagination! :handthumbsupL: ;D :handthumbsupR:


Best regards

I saw blowing kisses too.  I feel like I gotta take a shower after even trying this game lol.

Yeah, I did too, but I can see the smoking thing as well.

I couldn't seem to do anything to cause the anger bar to go up.  I also couldn't really figure out how long I had to wait before I could go back and interact again.

If possible I think it'd be amusing to have to be competing with other cpu players for score.  That would open up the possibility of getting into cat fights, running over competition and who knows what else...

And heck, if you were to add cpu chicks why not add cpu dudes running around "interacting" with chicks (and dudes).

Lol dude you probably should put a censor bar on your game entry pic in the finished thread...
Some knuckleheads like me browse this place from work.

its not graphic, and the image is small.  :shrug2:

fun game. i stuck to 4 clients and ended up with a score of 6330. dunno if thats good or not, but RinkuHero had a -1800 score so I guess I did better, haha

I dunno, maybe I'm just paranoid. :shrug2:

I want to play this but I get like 1 frame per second.  :(

Mac Intel 2.13 GHz 2 Core, OS X 10.6.4, Safari 5.0.1, Flash Debug Plugin 10.1.53.64

Sorry mate. I know, it sucks.

Just added the music and a bunch of sfx/tweaks to the last Alpha and uploaded it just to be part of the compo at the last minute.

Also had to work a lot this whole week on my dayjob and couldn't fix or improve the performance as I wanted to... maybe I'll do that post-compo.

I have 20fps on a AMD Turion 2.2Ghz, which is really slow too.

I'm not sure what I just played, but it had sex and vehicular homicide and that's good enough for me. :gentleman:

Yeah, it's certainly an unusual 'game', and it's very hard to figure out if there's anything specific you should be shooting for.

The sound effects and music made me laugh, and the graphics were quite charming. It's amusing that pedestrians will just walk inside houses where you're having sex with people.

I actually lol'd when the guy started whipping me, as I really wasn't expecting it. I liked the game in general, and I can't quite put my finger on why. I even liked the car controls, of course they were awful, but they were sort of endearing at the same time. Good work.
