Teller Me More by hollowspecter
Welcome to the first day of the rest of your life!
You work for the man, the machine, the money, you know; you work so you can live. Except you are at your desk 23h a day - the extra hour is your performance daily review - so keep up with the queue, the customers and their boring alive conversations, and don't fuck up the change or their Yhellp review is gonna be as bad as your next day.
Teller Me More is a time management game, where you struggle with the daily task of handling a bank counter - make accounts, give and receive the right amount of money while keeping your highly annoying and varied clients entertained. Not an easy task when you are the last human teller on this downtown busy bank - downright animalistic working conditions.

I loved the idea of Starting with a Desktop! You just need to be aware that some users will forget t odouble click the icons and probably think that this is a bug and the game does not work!
Sometimes the money you get is flying too far towards to you so you just see a tiny amount of the money to grap. But thats the only 2 thinks i noticed in a bad way.
You did a very great job out there! Keep the work up!
Random people threw money and the black border at the bottom disappeared sometimes.
But thats ok, the game makes a lot of fun and the graphics are amazing! Good work!
The first day, everyone was kinda exact and precise with their money, but at the end it got a bit messy - the robber jumped by, but could not interact fast enough.
Then the customers started throwing more and more money on the table, and not respecting the line at all! They were unhappy and so was I, so I quit!
The money picking up and shoving in slot could have been a bit more smooth - perhaps with some less friction on the table or money so you can get into a 'flow' more. Now I had to pick up a lot of money stuck on the edge of the bin.
Also worth mentioning is that I had to switch resolution on my ultra-wide screen else it would not render the UI correctly :P (there was not resolution selection on game startup)
Fun stuff!
A few little critiques: I got a lot of repeat dialogue from customers returning to the bank which led to their interactions being less interesting, plus it would have been good to have some sort of counter to track the amount of money you were depositing/withdrawing, or if you had to manually draw out the correct amount of money from draws or something. But these are small complaints that I'm sure would have been fixed with just a little more time.
I think I encountered a bug on my third day in the game customers started appearing, dropping money at me, then disappearing, then another customer would appear and do the same thing, sometimes the customers would reappear then disappear again. When they appeared the black dialogue box would come up at the bottom but with no choices to reply. This all happened in a matter of seconds so there was no way I could have entered their bank details and dealt with their deposits before they were replaced by the next customer.
In general I think this is a fantastic idea and demo for a game that given more time would be truly brilliant.
It felt great !
One thing I would add : Tab support, so you can actually change the text input with the keyboard and not the mouse :)
Good job overall!
I really like the sound effects of the characters speaking, and how their chatter distracts you from the job at hand. I lost my s*it when I saw clippy on the $100 bill!
I think it would be cool if the costumers actually took their money with them. At least in my case it didn't happen, and after a while the machine stopped spitting bills.
Overall a really solid, funny, and original game. I'd love to see a polished up, post jam version of this. Congratulations!
This was a good use of my banking skills.
Loved some of the dialogue. Wish the main menu was a bit cleaner, but the UI for the rest of the game was beautiful.
