Real Human Connection

Long story short, I built this large box of shifting boxes for you all to just sort of hang around in. Meet new people. Make some friends. To be honest, it all made more sense when I started building it. Then you get so far along that it just seems too painful to quit, even though the initial premise has grown somehow wanting, and you just see it through to spite them all. That's what we've got here.

Connectron is what I call that aforementioned large box of boxes. It's a machine specially designed for making romantic matches of humunculoid clones. Some say clones are not fully capable of love, but I think they're wrong, and I'm putting my money where my mouth is... with... this.

HOW TO PLAY

With the mouse. Click on people to comment on them.

To wave: hold down left click and, aiming just over the other guy's shoulder, move the cursor back and forth a bit

WARNING

So the WebGL version is a bit more flickery than the windows version. I haven't tested the WebGL version thoroughly, nor can I guarantee a better experience on the Windows version, though in my experience the latter performs a bit better, especially in regards to shadows.

ABOUT

This was made by me within 9 days for the 2022 Lost Relic Game Jam. The jam theme was "Connection," and somehow this was the first thing that popped into my head. I started by making a blendshape-based character generator, so if all else failed I would at least have more experience with that process, and the rest is this.

Thank you for playing!
