Happy to hear that. :)

[@AndrzejGieraltCreative]

It was so awesome to partake in the Wowie Jam once again! Really enjoyed working on Veromir: Post Mortem with my good friend, doing voice lines and animations and setting a dark mood. We played with the idea of failure is progress in that by dying, you find out what happened to your character and why you continue to return to life and must continue to fight one who was once your brother in arms. You also gain abilities to make the fight easier as you regain your memories. We ended up with some bugs and made some mistakes in design, but overall it was awesome and we're both super proud of it. It was awesome to see other people's games too and learn from them as well as provide feedback which from time to time seemed helpful and appreciated, and watching new developers dip their toes into the world of game development!

[@gamedevdemonold]

Thanks Jonas for playing my game (Wowie the game).

[@thechosenone5644]

You should have won the contest 😤😤😤 absolute masterpiece

[@GalacticDragonfruit]

[@joners45]

I wish, you personally would pick the top 3, as all the KZbinrs have huge voting advantages through the support of their communities

[@CosplayZine]

He may gain better promotion for his channel by having people vote or it may take him too long to choose them. But I agree so maybe there should be a happy balance of you here voting for top 100 and then he picks 10 out of those and puts the rest in a list on his website. Alternatively he could choose some and have his friends choose some until he reaches top 100 collectively and each of his 5 friends then choose top two out of those for a top 10 and the others get honorary mention on his website.

[@rakshasharma6656]

Suggestions for will you snail- 1) The boss fight feels really underwhelming, I think you should use all the mechanics that you used in the game and somehow combine them to make the boss feel powerful 2) The skill points really do not feel rewarding, I think depending on how many skill points you have you should get one out of multiple endings like if you have low skill level you get bad and high skill points means good ending and you should also get a choice to either save the ai or destroy him to make it more repayable btw this is awesome...

[@DerpyPotato-cf8qh]

Help, the wishlist button is rolling on the floor laughing and crying, I think I tickled it too hard.

[@tomdean4210]

The Jam was really great (I'm pleased to say we were even featured in the video :D) but I feel like the way the games were ranked at the end didn't make sense. Games ought to have a fairly large number of reviews in order to get in the top slots, because otherwise you can get a very high ranking without many people having even seen your game

[@cookiepooponpon5906]

man im playing these games and im suprised they did it in 3 days like what

The number changes over time anyways as some devs remove their games after a while. I think it was more like 1035 at first. :D Congrats for finishing in the top 10%, that's really good.
