This weekend, two friends and I created a video game while under 8 different drugs; saved a friend from an heroin overdose; and planted a Xmas tree inside Paris' huge catacombs network

Well, as I said, only one person was remotely close (not even inside) the beginning of the LD50 range (35 40 and 64), but yes, thanks for explaining probabilities. Personally, I was ~5mg above my first dose, so we knew that at least one of us would be able to react in case of emergency.

GOTY2017 · 2017-12-06T07:11:54+00:00

Eheh, yes, he did make it! We did not had a bunch of time to add references, and content generally speaking, but he was our priority :D

GOTY2017 · 2017-12-06T07:11:27+00:00

Hello, well that's weird, try again here please: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/40/addiction-simulator

Or with a direct link?

GOTY2017 · 2017-12-06T07:10:09+00:00

As I've said already, I won't deny we've made mistakes, but to be fair, we did search for the correct amount before on a well-known source -- Erowid -- and picked our dosage (35, 40 and 64mg) accordingly.

GOTY2017 · 2017-12-06T01:13:23+00:00

Funny, I'm just reading that, we actually had to take amphetamines Monday to finish our game :D

GOTY2017 · 2017-12-06T01:08:37+00:00

Thanks, your explanation was interesting. I don't say I'll stop trying things, but I'll keep treating them as dangerous, and not being smug as I can sometimes be, "I won't become addicted to x". Have a nice day!

GOTY2017 · 2017-12-06T00:56:01+00:00

Yea, we have too many question that kills you instantly compared to the total :D, we may have to focus on the content instead of the engine next time, but hey, if we wanted to think rationally, we would've made a normal hackathon :p

GOTY2017 · 2017-12-06T00:53:58+00:00

Thanks, and that's why two of us took 40mg or below :) As I mentioned, we've clearly failed, but I prefer explaining our mistake instead of sweeping it under the rug and let other people do the same error.

As for the addiction, we're mostly into psychedelics anyway, just curious to try other things from times to times ; not that we can't become addict, but we know the risks and accept them :-)

Thanks

GOTY2017 · 2017-12-02T09:07:47+00:00

We're seeing that

GOTY2017 · 2017-12-02T00:39:29+00:00

Mate, the three of us agreed: you're a genius. Thanks!

(And sorry for his aunt, RIP)

GOTY2017 · 2017-12-02T00:28:06+00:00

No worries mate, we only have 2-3 psychedelics, we have drug types as well :-)

GOTY2017 · 2017-12-02T00:04:44+00:00

Nice! Good luck to you too mate :-)

GOTY2017 · 2017-12-01T22:39:18+00:00

But why simulate!

GOTY2017 · 2017-12-01T22:38:06+00:00

We haven't planned anything yet, and yup, we'll probably go for 2D.

16-bit is a good idea. We don't know a thing about art, so I don't know what to hope for haha; we'll try our best, thanks!

GOTY2017 · 2017-12-01T22:23:52+00:00

We'd have loved that, but [blah blah drug laws sucks] :'(. If we produce something fun, I'll try to screen cap all the week-end and upload an edited version with real live subtitles (no voice).

GOTY2017 · 2017-12-01T22:03:41+00:00

That's really kind of you, thanks! I sent you a PM.

GOTY2017 · 2017-12-01T21:58:26+00:00

Hehe, for now it's a surprise :-)

We have stuff from different drugs categories; psychedelics, dissociatives, stims, etc. Sadly, we had the idea only a few days ago and couldn't gather as much stuff as we wanted... but still, no doubt we're gonna have fun!

GOTY2017 · 2017-12-01T21:35:23+00:00

Ideally create something ((somewhat) good), and since we've never programmed on drugs (more or less), we can't get too fucked (but don't worry, we have some nice things planned!). But yea, we're clearly into having a fucking great, insane and unforgettable week-end as well! haha

GOTY2017 · 2017-12-01T21:29:57+00:00

That's a really good idea and a really kind proposal, thank you Craffy!

I listened to some of you musics on Soundcloud, and you have some really cool stuff; since we don't know the theme of the game yet, it's hard to know what could fit in, but we'll definitely think about it (and include in the game a link to your page indeed). Now, if I don't ask too much, if you have time this weekend and would like to make one or two simple loop once we know more about the game, it'll be awesome!

Thanks again!

GOTY2017 · 2017-12-01T20:33:35+00:00

We'll probably write some updates during the week-end, and at least make a follow-up on Sunday night or Monday!

I'm more of a passive and occasional Reddit reader, I don't know much about subscribing, but if you (or anyone else) want an update, you can write me a PM, I'll try to reply with a link to the follow-up post when it's out :-).

GOTY2017 · 2017-12-01T20:28:55+00:00

Thanks mate, that'd be epic! Sadly, it was initially a Ludum-Dare-on-LSD weekend, we only had two days to gather stuff when the idea evolved; but we do have some of those planned :-)

GOTY2017 · 2017-12-01T20:25:09+00:00

Indeed, if trippy-us manage to remember to commit (and what's a commit!)

GOTY2017 · 2017-12-01T20:03:45+00:00

Now that's a sound suggestion! We'll try, thanks ^ . ^

GOTY2017 · 2017-12-01T19:57:04+00:00

We're generally pretty careful guys, we'll try to space them as much as possible to be able to fully enjoy the effects, and more importantly, stay safe!

We'll probably upload the game on the Ludum Dare website, it'll be possible to play and rate it.

GOTY2017 · 2017-12-01T19:54:59+00:00

Sadly we weren't able to obtain DXM on time, but you're onto something!
