Kultur Shock
This game was made for the Beginners Circle #3 Jam, with the Theme being "A Different Planet".
I decided to go it alone due to some unpredictable circumstances at the time meaning I wouldn't be able to guarentee to anyone that I could complete the game in Two weeks.
However, I am glad to say I was able to complete the Game in the allotted time.
I had a alot of fun making this game, although in future I think I would rather work with a team, as having to juggle art, programming, design, and sound ended up meaning certain aspects of the project had to be rushed or left unfinished, and I was not able to implement all the features I otherwise would have been able to.
For example, every sound for this game was made in the five or so hour period before the submission deadline, and I still felt nervous about releasing the game as I couldn't be certain that all the bugs had been fixed.
That being said, I am still happy with the work i've done, and I look forward to applying the many, many lessons I learnt whilst doing this project.
Special Thanks too:
Squid, who gave me a really good tip for sound design, allowing me to produce a bunch of sounds in a very short time.
Everyone else on the Beginners Circle discord, Angry Smile has managed to foster a really nice community there.

The art and animations of this game are really cool! One note,the fonts are very difficult to read.
Thanks, i'm not actually an artist so I appreciate the praise.
And with the fonts I definitely agree, it was the best of what I could find at the time for free. I might consider making my own font in future, or really give it a proper look.
Alright after a bit of play-testing with friends and listening to feedback i've managed to fix the bugs that i've been made aware of.
Cool game - Was really hard to completely impress the different cultures, but I'm determined! Keep it up.
The game was a great and fresh experience, the only problem is that it froze and crashed before the music part of the last culture. It's a shame though as I really wanted to see the end. Great Job and keep it up, there's a lot of potential here!
Hey thanks for playing and leaving such a nice comment.
I tried to replicate the bug myself but couldn't manage to do so. Definitely a result of my late-stage spaghetti code, something I certainly need to improve in future.
By the way Olaf, i thought I should mention I found that bug that ended your game, thanks for informing me about it, it was EXACTLY where you said it was, specifically I missed a piece of info in the JSON file that was being parsed. I'll upload the new version shortly.
Don't worry I don't expect you to slog through the whole thing again xD. The ending is simply a speech you give at the end where you can fix some of your mistakes before each culture declaring if they like you or not.
Thanks again for playing.
Alright I Think it's ready to play, if there are any crashes please let me know where you found them.
Otherwise, I hope you have fun and thanks for playing!
Just found a few bugs I am working to fix.
