Descriptionary
My first Game Jam. It's Pictionary but with descriptions. Play with at least 2 players (there's no limit but I'm pretty sure it would glitch out with too many).
How to play:
- Every round, A player types in a word or phrase they want the others to guess. They then choose from a list of descriptions to describe it.
- Once a description slot is selected, that slot will be unavailable to that player for the rest of the game. The less description slots you use in one round, the more description slots you'll have access to in further rounds.
- The other players have to try to guess the word or phrase. They each have 3 guesses at a time, and the Main Player will have the opportunity to add more descriptions after their guesses.
- After 2 rounds of this guessing and describing, it's the next player's turn to choose a word and repeat the loop.
*Important*
Currently, this game doesn't end. You'd have click on the scores in the top-right, and decide a winner at the end of a round. It's also pretty unbalanced right now, as I used a list of 28,000 adjectives (from here). I want to make a smaller list and include more types of words in the future.
There's also some general lack of clarity in the game:
- If you're ever confused about who's turn it is, look at the top right.
The "Confirm" button in the bottom right should be renamed to "Next Player".There's section that says "Category: Vehicle". This is not clickable right now.- Even if a player has already guessed the word correctly, they still have to click "Next Player" to skip their turn.
In text fields, you have to hit Enter for the text to register. This is most noticeable when choosing your names.- As of now only the current player is notified when they receive points. Other players will have to check their score during their own turns.
There's a little character maker at the start. Currently this is useless :D- Mobile HTML5 works, but there is no virtual keyboard to input text. Waiting on Godot to add this.
I ran out of time to fix and polish for the game jam, but I want to at least fix these after the jam. (Add sound effects toot)
