Domus by Nufflee

[raw]
made by Nufflee for LD 40 (JAM)

Domus is a simple and very unbalanced city managment game where you need to build your city, accept newcomers and try to keep all of them happy.

About the game

At the start of the game, you're given a loan of $500000 which you need to spend wisely to develop your city as fast as possible while keeping it happy and in tact. To develop it fast, you need to have as many higher tier buildings as possible, and to keep your citizens happy, you need to fulfill all of their needs by clicking on the buildings with a popup above them. As you grow your city you will get more revenue as well as more elite newcomers with higher tier buildings. If you don't have enough money to buy higher tier buildings, you should get some trees because they attract newcomers too.

How to play?

To get going, you just need to buy a few buildings and wait for new citizens to come. In the meantime you can keep your citizens happy by clicking the buildings that have popups above them. After earning enough money, you should stop buying tier 1 buildings and focus on tier 2 and 3. If you place a building incorrectly or just want to remove it, just use the bulldozer tool at the bottom right and click on the building you want to remove. You will be refunded 25% of the purchase price.

Neat tapper type game that reminded me of a mobile Simpsons game I used to play.

Controls were easy to discover but the interaction with the houses did not make sense to me. It looks like they are needing power... so it took a minute to realize that it was a tap request.

rather complex project which is made for such a period of time but I did not have enough diversity / I hope that there will be development in the future) :wink:

Hey, i really like the graphics and your idea! In future, you could add special buildings, for example a power plant which produces energy, but sometimes fails and you have to repair it to keep you inhabitants happy. Just an idea.
All in all, a grat starting point for a good game!

@antoine-vion New houses won't spawn unless you buy a certain amount of them first.
