Not Politically Correct by Jaggent-aka-shouke

NPC, or Not Politically Correct, is a country management sim-kinda-game by rubr-band where you try to maintain your political power by making the "ministers" and citizens happy! Build schools, run a national sports team, manage jobs and much more!
Just grab the windows zip, unzip it anywhere you want and launch the .exe to play. Simple as that!
FEATURES: (Trust me, there's a lot of them)
- Manage power plants to generate electricity which is an essential game mechanic.
- Manage jobs - wouldn't be good to see your citizens unemployed, poor and angry!
- Education - Educate your citizens. More Education = better jobs they can apply to.
- Sports! - fund a national sports team to bring in that sweet, sweet ticket fresh green not-so-american dolla dolla bills!
- Coins! - watch out for that bank balance! You can go bankrupt and lose political power and that's game over.
- Population - Gain population to make more jobs! More jobs = more money! Dont let your population drop to 0 though, I can guarantee you that ruling an empty land isn't much fun.
- Birb - the local mascot and media app/site that allows you to see the opinion of your people based on recent actions! ~~I swear it's just constructive criticism~~
- Fantastic Pixel Art by Jaggent.
- ~~Janky~~ I mean, AMAZING code by rubr. (See Source Code) P.S. A certain someone was too lazy to put in autosave, don't forget to save!
- Army! - Manage an army to protect your great nati- oh right there is no army. ~~We ran outta time :(~~
- Sounds and Music - Enjoy the game even more with the great sound of silence. ~~We ran outta time and can't make music lol~~
- Right-click in the main menu for a steamy shower of birbs (most of our time went into this feature. #priorities)
GAME SCREENSHOTS:



The Future of Not Politically Correct:
Me, Jaggent, and rubr have decided to continue developing this game. I (Jaggent) will pick up GML again at some point and start adding some features myself. Most if not all art was made by me and everything was written by rubr. You can follow the future releases of NPC on rubrs itch.io (link below) and other places (will be added later). As for now, we will be taking a small hiatus!

- Installation instructions for linux:
In terminal, type this: sudo apt install lib32z1 lib32ncurses5 libbz2-1.0:i386 libstdc++6:i386 libxxf86vm1 libssl1.0.0:i386 libglu1:i386 libxrandr-dev libxrandr2:i386 libopenal1:i386 libopenal1 (gamemaker needs a fair share of libs on linux)
Then, get the .deb package (if your distro supports it, if not use the .zip), click install and it should be on your desktop.
macOS builds are a possibility!
- WINDOWS install guide:
Just grab the windows zip, unzip it anywhere you want and launch the .exe to play. Simple as that!

It was quite a brutal start, I died in like 5 seconds before I worked out what was going on but once I did it wasn't too hard to solve.
Very nice art style and I love all the little elements like Birb.
P.S: Right-click the main menu made the game #priorities
Great job!
Overall, good work.
I'd consider this a full game already, something you'd might find on, for example, Kongregate. Some more features and this will be more great than it already is.
Thanks for the experience you gave us!
