Kingpin by naxum

[raw]
made by naxum for LD25 (COMPO)
*Note: The download looks a lot nicer, and if you're lagging somehow you can lower the settings through that.

Oh boy! So much more I wanted to do... I may consider working on it later!

Description:
Go from Meth peddler to kingpin, all while avoiding the police and DEA in this top-down simulation game.

Controls:
Click to select (and center on) a tile. Use WASD to rotate camera if you wish. (Up and down are sticky for some reason).

Hints:
Meth Labs can only be placed in empty tiles, and they are your main supply of meth, which you sell to the neighborhood tiles and the city(cube) tiles.

The more drug dealers you have on a tile, the more meth you can sell to the people in that tile, and the more suspicious the police will get.

Enforcers can be sent to clean up evidence and suspicion, and have a lower chance of being arrested by the police.

Let me know if you enjoy it, and if there's anything you wish I did differently!

Very cool sort of strategy experience, you can go quite deep in this one. It could probably have used some sounds though ;)

The game in the middle window doesn't appear under OSX (10.6.8). It still seems to work, as I could select (what seemed) to be different towns and buy drug dealers.

This game looks really great but I am not making enough to create a profit.
Would love to see a more fleshed out version of this.

I love sim games! -- this one was really hard to figure out. Couldn't get people to buy the meth-- Tried 4-5 times to get something going. Fun concept! (Meth sucks though- stay away!) :D

Nice game. I had trouble figuring out what to do so perhaps a tutorial of some kind. Impressive though and seems like it could be expanded into a full game.

the breaking bad influences are great. needs a tutorial and other stuff, but this could be pretty cool and catch some attention if you make it into a full breaking bad game.

Nice game. The camera should be smooth or free.

Interesting strategy game. I think this idea has a lot of potential. The UI and me didn't become friends, though. I'm also missing more overview over what I was owning and where I was dealing. There seems to be a bug where the town model wasn't updated after you abandon the area and then return.

Maybe need more information about all the features, and how the system works, but it's a very nice management game.

Made me feel like I was Walter White, more games like that are needed!
