Hey there! I’m still not done with the game I presented to IFComp this year. I was a bit disappointed at the end but most criticism received seemed quite right to me, Rio Alto could’ve been better in many regards and also quite a lot more accessible, so it’s never too late to amend certain things.
If my game is still on your play list, my recommendation is to wait a bit more. Final version may improve many aspects, here’s a final list:
Added:
- right mouse / double click or touch for quick “Luis-any other card” interaction
- scrolling text output system (instead page by page)
- interaction adviser: once a card is being dragged game suggests compatible cards (can be disabled)
- Android/Linux/OSX versions
- additional interface handling hints
Technical changes:
- automatic save-game optional, manual save-game
- new effect for text output highlighting
- in-game text formatting controls
Story related changes:
- Marta has a more prominent role
- many additions/re-redacted text to help set the tone, give hints and refine the story
- fully revised English translation
Fixes:
- card descriptions getting cut
- some broken interactions
