Travis Posted June 24, 2018 Now available on itch.io: George Fan George Fan, creator of Plants vs. Zombies and Octogeddon, was the titular guest of Designer Notes Episode 28. George Fan: The Game is completely inspired by discussion from the episode. Designer Notes has become one of my favorite podcasts, and the George Fan episode is one that I particularly enjoyed. Soren and George had some good laughs, and I figured I could bash together a game out of it. Since I was crunched for time (and energy), I relied heavily on the Unity Asset store, and other free/affordable resources. This was my first jam to really do this outside of sounds, and I definitely couldn't have made a project even this simple without them. Thanks to all in the Idle Thumbs and Wizard Jam communities for holding this jam and supporting each other. Can't wait to play your games! P.S. If George Fan is reading this, I realize this probably seems weird. I apologize for that, but I assure you I just thought this would be a fun jam game to make and play. Also, listening to bits of this episode again made me download Plants vs. Zombies (the first one) again and I am more into it than any mobile game I've been into for years. Can't wait to see what you come out with next! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Teljoor Posted June 30, 2018 Spoiler The long walk is a good buildup to the one joke at the end . I think, given that most people would probably not play the game more than once, it might be better to place the 'game ideas' folder directly in the player's path.

Travis Posted July 1, 2018 Thanks for playing, everyone! I agree that the layout could be better Teljoor, but I also figured it's OK if that goes missed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RubixsQube Posted July 1, 2018 I played your game, and I liked it a lot. You can watch my reaction here: I am wondering if... Spoiler the game ideas book was supposed to fly off like it did, because it was very funny to me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pdotjpg Posted July 1, 2018 @RubixsQube: same thing happened and I wondered that as well. This is very cool and surprising. I agree with others - good pacing/buildup, and a well exectuted ending. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Travis Posted July 1, 2018 @RubixsQube @pdotjpg Glad you guys liked it! I enjoyed your video, Kevin. I did add in that fail-safe mechanism to keep GAME IDEAS from interfering with the other part because this is the Idle Thumbs community and we all love to do ridiculous things with game systems. I enjoyed thing singing in the video, too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
brendonsmall Posted July 2, 2018 Boy howdy, do I appreciate games like this Spoiler The "you must press 'Y'" was a good gag, and the whole payoff being "You Are Dumb" over and over was goofy and great. And the pull back from the computer screen with a black background was a nice transition. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
