Day 18 - Peace On Earthhad me really intrigued with the plot/story of the game itself. (Trying not to give any spoilers here) What happened to Amara? What kind of circumstances are the characters even talking about? What happened to planet Earth? And what is the severity that this situation poses on the setting of the game?
I mean, it's not like much crucial information is given when the player interacts with other characters, which leaves so many questions unanswered, but still leaves the game up to (maybe?) interpretation or so.
If there's even a true answer as to what is going in this game, I'd be highly interested in knowing and I would really appreciate as well.
Hiya, I'm the dev for Peace On Earth! Glad to hear you were intrigued by the plot! This game actually serves as an Easter Egg of sorts for another HPS1 game that has not been released yet. Originally it was planned to be released before Madvent, but the deadline came and went, so it's being held off for now. Keep an eye out for another HPS1 release (hopefully) early 2023 for further context on this short story!
Dude, that's great to hear that you're making a continuation of the story about what's going on in Peace on Earth. Really left me in shock and confusion as to what I even witnessed in game itself. Can't wait for the next (installment?) HPS1 game when all the pieces are in place and the anticipation for the story of Peace on Earth doesn't leave me hanging when early 2023 arrives. Also, nice job on the execution/cliffhanger vibes (maybe?) that Peace on Earth gave off overall. Really sets the tone of the setting/plot of the game as a whole.
Thanks for the great feedback! The upcoming game is another collaboration effort, so I only wrote and created one segment of the game myself. Peace On Earth serves as a kind of "side story" to the events happening within the upcoming game's narrative, with a few direct references sprinkled through the dialogue. Not everything in Peace on Earth is relevant however! I hope you get the chance to check out the new game when it eventually releases, I think you'll like it!
I thought that reference was more like a dev, hey I worked on this, not shared universe. Cool to know what is going on down on earth. Though, spoilers, I don't think I'd call it peace.
See, that's the kind of vibe I got from Peace on Earth when the ending cutscene rolled around. (Spoilers, probably) looking at the color of the Earth itself and how the main character just kind of had a lack of enthusiasm in saying "Merry Christmas... everyone..." makes it seem like there's some sort of hellish scenario going on in this game entirely. Nice take on the horror aspect of indie games.
Anyways, kudos to you OctalOtter on this submission and kudos to you Vladimere for organizing this entire project as well. This is a one of a kind type of Christmas gift for the whole itch.io community :)
This is pretty cool. Did the first 3 games for a video, may not do the whole 30 days thing seeing it's the middle of the month now. Overall, what a neat collection.
A lot of people try to do quirky cutesy internet weirdness and fail, yuletown did it exceptionally right. I bet this one would run on real PSX hardware pretty well if it were ported with one of the modern dev sets.
Yeah, that kinda confused me as well, but I thought part of the dialogue said to collect all of the gifts around town from every character on day 1 and the go back to your house and rest and then start to give everyone their proper gifts for day 2. You don't give each character their gifts when you collect all the gifts on the first day, which is why the "talk" option doesn't work after the player has the items each character wants in this case for day 1 because it was probably intentionally designed like that.
this is just days 10-12, but i'm really enjoying this series of games so far!! thank you so much to all of the members and devs for creating such a unique concept with an amazing set of games :))
This is my first time playing this series and I am invested already! This is so well made and I'm already planning on making this an annual series event on my channel
Pretty sure Day 9 never ends. Unless something bugged out and one of the little stalks spawned on TOP of my house. But after restarting and having the menu glitch, I called it a day lol
Likely a parallels issue. The launcher asks the operating system to do the launch. To get directly to the games, go the game folder, _data folder, then the streaming assets folder. There you will see all the individual games. You can launch directly from their exe files.
Day 10 has been my favorite so far, partners. Really great dream simulator that encapsulated the hectic nature of that situation, even the music flowed with the gameplay. Great job, your pal : Sneed

Oh, I bet I will, since I am a fanatic about low-poly/PSX games. Looking forward to your contributions and games in early 2023 then! :)

Day 15 made me question my reality and... wow.
Day 16 is an awesome social experiment!
This is pretty cool. Did the first 3 games for a video, may not do the whole 30 days thing seeing it's the middle of the month now. Overall, what a neat collection.
Made a video for Jennifer's Nonsensical Christmas Adventure
Day 12 is a game Sans would be proud of!
Day 13 is a creepy look into Santa's Workshop!
Day 14 is a goofy game about the Yuletide fun... and dangers of making enemies of entities!

Made a video for A Mall Near You
Day 9 and I didn't see eye-to-eye... but it was still a great game!

Hello beautiful people!
As usual, here we are with yet another Madvent upload! This time it's day 11 and we've gotta face off against the dreaded hand-hounds 💀
Love you all! ❤️Made a video for Yuletown
Day#10, Boulder Baby ->
Pretty sure Day 9 never ends. Unless something bugged out and one of the little stalks spawned on TOP of my house. But after restarting and having the menu glitch, I called it a day lol
When you die it tells you your score, so I think its endless
issue on day 9 forgot to lock the frame rate so it uses more resources than necessary. also no visible mouse icon in menu

Just a playthrough of day one and I'm already worried about my sanity!...
New video with 4 games
Day 10 has been my favorite so far, partners. Really great dream simulator that encapsulated the hectic nature of that situation, even the music flowed with the gameplay. Great job, your pal : Sneed
Day 8 makes you kill some helpless deer and then you might be the helpless one...
Day 7 is a well put together underwater adventure!
