ACCOUNT.EXE

Attempted entry for SA Game Jam 2024, 72h* category

What's this?

This is a push-your-luck accounting simulator. You are responsible for the budget allocation of The Company.

Company work is risky business and a lack of funding or unlikely mishap might even end the world.

Versions

I made the classic mistake of fixing a bug in the car while trying to upload my final version before the 6pm deadline.

Only got to test it now, 00:44, and realised that it broke the game...

I accept that I will be judged on the original submission, but I've updated the version on this page with a fix so that people can give feedback on a working game x_x

Download - 6pm submission
On itch.io page - bugfix

Sorry!

What's next?

I'm really excited about this project, and it's the first time Godot really "clicked" for me.

My next goal is to make this a complete, short ~10min game, by adding a story. I really want to hammer on the feeling of stress and mystery.

Wishlist

Improved atmosphere

• Game balance
• Sound
• CRT effect on screen

More interesting gameplay

• More (interactive) entities
• Story
• Improve budget allocation mechanic (it is the only mech). Could make it more spreadsheet-y with some typing and balancing aspect... Potentially players _approve_ budgets instead (Reign and Paper's please -esque). Budget proposals could also help express narrative.

Thank you!

*Started quite late, so this was only really a 6h jam for me. However, I was really excited about the theme so decided to give it a shot!
