Game Jam the Game by Jacksendary
It is game jam time, and you're going to spit out as many weird unconventional games you can by matching 2 genres together which would normally not go well together!
I only had about 24 hours (with sleep) to develop this game, I've made everything myself, but I did plan on making a dating sim + Card Trading Game originally but gave up due things not working out both with unity and people I were originally working with, and made this instead which I am pretty proud of since one entire day were wasted.
This game is inspired by game dev tycoon and other game dev games!
HOWTO:
To develop a game simply click the Chair/PC and get going, you win by scoring a user review of 11 (Which even I haven't been able to do my self yet, but can be proven by math is possible) - Enjoy and let me know what game you won with in the description :D
If you wanna cheat, there is a table over all values of combinations: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1qz31aoLaG1a7GVwsE4q_KaB6QgWJ2B2ra6GU7AVLxLQ/edit?usp=sharing
Planned features I didn't get around to:
I wanted you to be able to look at all your old games (all games created) by clicking the the shelves but kept adding other content instead. I wanted to do more art maybe add a person to the chair but sadly I'm not good with art (Programmer here). I wanted to add random events or research but I decided this would only be implemented if I had time (which I didn't).

I tried to make games but I only got quadruple 1 notes, so I guess I did it wrong :laughing:
I don't know why, but the theme list windows don't fit to the content, so I have only ~half of the left and right columns names…
I'm a great fan of Game Dev Tycoon, and what you've done in so short time is not bad! Hope you'll get more time the next LD. :)
Thx, for playing my game in your stream.
But anyway I congratulate you on publishing a game anyway regardless of the hard circumstances, I myself went through a lot of trouble to make my game this jam so I understand :)
Wish you all the best in your future jams :)
I loved all the different options and the sliders, I was pretty impressed by the amount of genres and combinations after taking a peek at the cheat sheet after :v:
I didn't find any glaring issues on my playthrough - Would have been really cool seeing the shelf of previous games!
Thanks for making, had alot of fun! :smile:
My sentiments are more or less the same as those already expressed, I guess. It looks and sounds nice and it's fun thinking up different games, but on the whole there isn't a lot of feedback (gameplay-wise; of course each game gets literal feedback!) and it feels a bit repetitive. I'm not sure what I'd add, tho!
I haven't played Game Dev Tycoon, tho I'm aware of it, so I don't know how similar the two are, but I'm guessing this is a bit like a lite version of that? c:
The music is really good! Could listen to that for a while for sure, and that definitely happens as the player spends some time trying out different combinations.
Unfortunately I never managed to get that perfect score, but as you said yourself, it's not an easy feat! I did do quite well with a few concepts tho, and scored some nines at least! Afraid I don't remember what exciting combination gave me those, tho. :p
Flot spil, men der mangler måske noget?! :thumbsup:
