Space Factory by mrnyarlathotep
Overview

You are an entrepreneur running (out of space) a business on an unstable planetoid.
There is limited usable landmass available, and you will find yourself running out of space.
You will also have to juggle your production capacity to optimise production, because if you run out of space for your goods, your factories products will go to waste.
Also the products you are making are space running shoes, and their tagline is running out of space.
Because the theme is running out of space, yeah?
This is my tenth LD, and as always I like to try something I haven't tried before, and I like to throw my assets onto Open GameArt when I'm done with them, because why waste assets?
Tools Used * Unity for a lot of the heavy lifting * Blender for my 3D stuffs * Photoshop Elements for some 2D stuff like the selection cursor and emissiving the hell out of my planet * Font used is Xolonium under the Open Font Licence * I used the super cool SpaceScape for that kickass skybox * Bosca Coeil for the audio (such as it is) - I always leave audio until last, and it always suffers...
Known Bugs * A little more ambitious design meant a lot of stuff got cut, so its not really a game as such, but more of a sandbox builder. I usually like to have at least a win or lose condition... * Some last minute player notifications skipped thorough playtesting, so you'll get told staff are joining even if you have no room to keep them, and you'll get told you earned whatever your current money is even though you didn't. * Was seriously short on time this Jam, so a lot of niceties I usually include like a splash screen, pause menu, restart and quit options don't exist, but its an HTML5 only build, so just refresh the page if you paint yourself into a corner.
