Keep her happy

Keep her happy

Your flower is withering with depression. Help her.

How to play

You write messages to your friend who becomes more and more depressed as time goes on. Depending on the positivity of the messages, you help your friend more or less.

Context

Made in 11 hours for the LDJAM 46 Compo game jam.

The game uses sentiment analysis software to analyze the positivity of the messages you send to your flower. This sentiment analysis is from a C# implementation of [he VADER sentiment analyzer and I'm one of two people who have developed an in-review Danish sentiment analyzer, SentidaV2, along with tools for future development of the Danish sentiment analysis field. It's quite fun to use this in a game and it becomes a sort of citizen science project as well.
