looked up recent management games on itch.io and a lot of them are time management games which are a completely different genre
like the difference between rollercoaster tycoon and papers please

there was also one for a weight gain themed game jam and if you're going to use a weird font for your game PLEASE make sure it's legible
so here's my third attempt at finding something to play from the itch.io new queue
yes, it's like 99% genAI slop on there and 0.9% non-genAI slop porn
this game apparently takes place in a hotel that's made out of wet cardboard
question about fantasy physiology: are slimes... wet?
so this game seems to be setting up a "protagonist fixes the town" plot that takes place in a single building
I hope it's that and not just pornography with an opening story that immediately goes away the moment a penis is first shown
the idea that someone could say "wait here I'll be right back" and then go out and die and have the person they said that to wait a hundred years standing in place because they don't understand anything beyond the instruction they were given is a really funny premise for a fey comedy story
why is the button to move around the building 🌍️
is the building continent-sized
ok so why are you doing that then
if it's stressful and I'm the only person who's been in here for decades why have you been trying to hold your shape the entire time including right now
are you asking for a hug
what do you mean "maybe we could go somewhere a little quieter" this building has only had you in it for a century and you and me for one day
if we go somewhere it becomes louder
you don't see that much in visual novels. usually it's just immediately ridiculously frantic sex regardless of the characters in the scene
what do you think folks
are they going to gender the nameless graphicsless protagonist
are they going to be a white man with short brown hair
I want one of those games where the artist draws a hallway full of tightly packed doors to have a scene where someone goes into a room and turns around and there are like twenty identical doors between the hall and the room they're in for no reason
hey game developer
you have doors in every single one of your backgrounds
why can't I click on a door to move to the next room instead of having to click on the africa emoji to move to another room in this building
I think a big part of the appeal of the "fix the town" style of game is actually collecting the materials
because in this game you just generate "mana" and then once you have enough you click a button and it fixes whatever the next thing to fix is
apart from placing the buttons you have to press as far as possible from each other on the screen there's not really anything to this game
wait the first slime didn't know the second slime was hired until just now??? this is her business
it's like someone looked up what a blowjob is in the dictionary and then made that scene with no other knowledge of any kind of sex
this game was definitely made by a real person but it seems like they learned how to write by reading exclusively LLM output
trying to picture where the second kiss was
the front of Your Name's neck? Your Name's chin? just randomly in the air below Your Name's chin? none of those sound particularly sexy
it's kinda weird that so far the only clothes in the entire game has been on the three slime girls
everyone's being kind to each other in a specific way that makes it so no character in this story has a personality
is it... sex? because i'm pretty sure you produce that too
i'm so confused is everyone in this game except the protagonist a slime why is nobody else able to give them hug points
I feel like the author of this game is missing a real trick by having the slime girls act as 100% girl and 0% slime
this is such a weird way to design a "game"
here's one sixth of some simpsons-level nudity I guess
what could the picture be there's no way to guess
I think the developer of this game both has an x-ray kink and also has never heard of any kind of sex or kink and had to look up what a boobjob is in a dictionary
it wants me to click on five fireflies but nothing on this screen is a firefly apparently
oh fireflies are green circles that appear like once every five minutes
(heavy sarcasm warning)
if there's one thing that improves turn-based games like visual novels it's pointless waiting and reflex challenges, especially when they're combined
alright
that was bad but it was made in earnest
let's check out the fourth game
this one makes the bold move of showing pornography, slowly fading to a blurred version of it, and then popping up a warning that says if you're not an adult you should close the game before you see any pornography
there's a porn one about working at a fast food restaurant and I cannot for the life of me figure out how to play it
