The Auction House by Huntrox
Welcome to the Auction House game ,
you play the role of a mmorpg charcter that got
kicked from his job after losing everything while trying to become rich using shurtcuts
but wait!! its not over yet !?
you get offered a loan by three different banks each one has its own Pros and Cons,
after that you have to use your intelligence and tactful brain to regain your wealth.
Guid:
in this game you start with 0 money and you get the choice of asking a loan
from 3 different banks each bank have its own benefits and downsides,
after that you can bid on different items and if you win you can sell them again with a profit
if you pick the right time, but becareful some items might be fake.
and you will have to pay your loan back slowly and if you dont have
enough money to pay when its time you lose the game and have to start from 0 again.
tips:
bank give you amount of money to start and take % of that every counted rounds choose carefully bid is always 10% of the current bidding
when listing items more time = high sell chance and high listing fee
if the time is up and you have item listed and no one bid on it, it will return to your inventory and item sell chance will decrease
Note: Download the game if you feel UI and text is small

some critics: the round time is to long at the beginning
but all in all it was fun to play
Either way, the game was fun to play. The UI looks very professional but I feel like the UX needs a bit more work - checkmark filters are great and all but it feels like there is a better way to organize the screen than just have everything in one little window, especially in a bidding game.
The game lacks some UI/UX (maybe the possibility to sort the items by price?), but the modd is nice, I liked the music. Also, sometimes, I found myself just waiting for the auction to finish, it may be a little bit too long.
Overall, nice game, keep up the good work!
@amastryukov thanks for your feedback ,there is no set sell price because it was causing problems that i couldnt fix in time for the jam
@niarkou thanks , i tried many time periods for the rounds and it all felt a bit off but im still trying to balance it out
@kyle-bowman if you play it on itch page for some reason scale is small but if you download it from the page you can control the scale and resolution
@saltfactory-studio thanks , its my first game jam i was focusing to finish the game before running out of time and i ended up forgetting the basic important stuff like adding a tutorial.
@mira thanks for your feedback , thats why there is checkmark filters
in the game
so about the deals always aim for rare/fancy items with less time so you can buy them as cheap as possible and sell them again with high time which is high chance for more profit
of course at the beginning all what you can do is buying basic/rare
@oakwarrior thanks . glad to hear people enjoying my game
i love AH in mmo rpg games i enjoy make mony through AH and spenting my time infront of Auctioner
Two things I would like to note:
* I almost didn't play this game! I saw that there was only a Windows link on the page and was about to go back to the list, but fortunately I saw the note that alluded to downloading the game. It might be a good idea to add a second link to the itch.io page but with the web platform. I can only imagine other people have passed over this game for that reason.
* There seems to be a bug where if you don't adjust the list time it will use the duration of the previous list time but the cost of the current list time (which since you didn't adjust it will be the one for the 1:00 list time).
@ryano thanks for your feedback the list is jumping because when item time up the list will update and thats why will fix it thanks
