Toy workshop by StMatn
Toy workshop is a management game, where you plan, construct and sell toys.
IMPORTANT (REALLY!):
-Remember to unpack the zip! Do not start the game inside it!
-Game needs a Java 7 JRE or JDK installed on your system
HOW TO PLAY:
To plan a toy, click the "new project" button at the top and select the project size. Once done, click the drafting board. If you did it succesfully, the selected project size will be shown under the drafting board.
Now drag a worker in front of the drafting board and he will start planning the project. Once the percentage reaches 20%, a checkmark will apear above the drafting board. Drag this checkmark to a suitable spot inside the building. Your project is now in the carpenting phase.
Drag at least one worker in front of it to start the work. Once the percentage reaches 60%, the project enters the painting phase.
Once the percentage reaches 100%, your toy is ready to be delivered. Drag the checkmark above it to a costomer on the left to sell it. The Overall score "O" will go to your reputation; all three scores ("O", "C" and "P") go to your money.
Keep an eye on the rent payment countdown. Once it reaches 0, rent will be taken from your money and rent will be increased. You must not get in dept at all times. Once you cant pay the rent, the game stops (No feedback for this; the game just stops running).
If you keep playing until the game ends and you have read this wal of text, please post your score (=reputation) inside the coments.
Have fun playing!
Thank you very much for playing!
TIPS:
-Start your first project imediately, since time is running
-Let the carpenter do carpenting (20%60%). They are good at their profession, but quite bad at the other.
-Your workers gain experience and skill over time, which improves work speed and quality
-Ignore the numbers under the customers. They are quality requirements, which have not been implemented :(
-Ignore the deletion button (red cross), it doesnt do anything
TRIVIA:
The game is inspired by "painters guild" and a little bit by "game dev story". It is not nearly as nice as these games, but if you like my game, you may want to check them out. Originally you should have been able to hire/fire workers and build decorations to improve thw work quality, but time ran out as always :D I hope the game entertains you anyway at least a little bit :)
Fixes:

-Fixed crash on clicking checkmark

Thanks for reporting the issue!
On the user interface side, there seems to be a lack of consistency in the way dragging works. Sometimes it's click, move, and click again. Others I have to click, hold and drag.
This wouldn't really be a problem but sometimes the game freezes when you try to release a planned (20%) project in the wrong spot (and that happened a few times because I didn't realise I was supposed to drag).
Also there's a lot of extra screen space! I guess you were planning to put more stuff to the right, but ran out of time? Anyways, good work! What you have so far is pretty promising, and the progression is nice. :)
It just could use at least some placeholder sounds.
I also fixed the issue you had with my jam entry "Banana TV". You can try it again if you don't mind :)
