GameJam Tychoon by davesoft
Ever wanted to join Ludum Dare? Think Again!
Feature bloat, distractions and the dredded 48hour time limit.
In GameJam Tychoon you have 48hours to pick a genre and cram it with features and content to satisfy 3 randomly chosen topics. Don't forget to use the community and hype your creation, even if the judges hate it the fans might still go wild.
You generate ideas over time, which drift to the top of the screen. When you have enough ideas the features (cards) at the bottom of the screen will light up. MouseOver them to take a better look, and click on it to Focus on that feature.
Don't forget to set your priorities! Doing code in an arty mood makes little code
tldr; gamedev tychoon but with 1 person and card based features.

Seriously it's a nice idea, but the interface is not so easy to understand.
Maybe I'll try it again later.
I wish I could have used a timewarp this week-end too!
Great job!
Good job!
I did a game with the same premise for look what I made weekend. :P
The UI is a little bit rough but the game is cool to play and funny !
As for your game, while I'm here, and as soon as I've said to my virusscanner that this really ISN'T a virus.. ;)
Well, I won, first place, with a game which had 4 in fun, and minusses in most other things... I wish it were that easy in real life! It was a bit confusing, so a bit of a tutorial would've been nice, but not a bad effort overall! Also the audio made me a bit jumpy.
Great entry :D
