Ran into Shadowheart at the post office a few days ago! Even god's favourite princess needs to use royal mail. I love how Shadowheart's narrative weaves a storyline about chronic pain and memory into the game and Jennifer English brings her to life in such amazing detail. I was very starstruck

Judge feedback for Pirate Software Game Jam 16 is in! Very pleased with it and excited to hear the results on the 18th. It would have been nice to make the game a bit longer or perhaps added in an 'endless' mode as they said but I don't think that was possible in the time frame.
Judge feedback: This game is beautiful, and is a great adaptation of the theme of "You Are The Weapon." As the titular vessel of weaponry Knight Alpha 01, assisting your pilot to keep them in a calm emotional state is a fun way of interacting that helps make the game feel more compelling. Especially fun is the ability to influence the pilot's emotional state to make the game more or less challenging. The reloading minigames are fun to manage, and not punishing. The art is clean, clear, and consistent within the style choice. The story is also compelling, though short. The UI is well laid out and easy to understand, and is very easy to read. One suggestion I have is to make the Laser Shotgun reloading minigame a bit more visually indicative of when the Laser Shotgun is reloaded. Your GDD is well laid out, and I like seeing that you have your different developer roles listed by name. However, you should include all the people in your group in the submission of your game on itch.io: the artist should also be a part of that team. Otherwise, your GDD is very well done, and very descriptive. I would like to see more inspiration for stylistic and musical choices in the game. Overall, excellent job!
