Small Pet Tycoon by NeoKuro

made by NeoKuro for LD 38 (JAM)

Buy, Breed, and Sell small pets from little fishies, to creepy crawly lizards. Start in your bedroom with only a couple storage spaces, and expand bigger and better whilst managing your expenses, supplies, and well-being of your little buddies!

Lots of missing features sadly, and several bugs. There is also a lot of missing user prompts such as notifications for illegal actions such as attempting to add an incorrect item to something, or insufficient funds.

Very ambitious concept. I managed to buy a container and place it somewhere in the room, afterwards I could equip it with a lamp. I could not place my bought critters in the container, they did not appear in the list. I like the idea and generally enjoy this type of game. You managed to get a lot of UI systems done in the given time, sadly a lot of items don't work. The game screen would have worked well enough if I would have been able to complete a basic game loop.
It seems that you spent a lot of time designing the system and generating content for it, I'd suggest to complete the game loop earlier and then add features when time allows it next time.
If there are certain objects where the system works enough to complete a game loop you should add them in the description so people can try out what you managed to complete.
Still a good effort, a lot of potential!
