100 MB by LDJam user 372784

made by LDJam user 372784 for Ludum Dare 54 (JAM)

A file explorer where you get files from clients and then sometimes manipulate them then send some of them to the client. Game starts after you close the readme. Your score is put in the readme after the 3 minutes are up.

First time really coding something outside of playing exapunks or human resource machine so the file system took me the entire time so I only ended up finishing 1 client in time. The client I added also did not get that much detail. I had a lot more plans for different clients that want you to do different things to the files like nest files or wait for a files pair to appear then send them together. Wanted to create a days system where each day a new client is added and explained and the difficulty increases. Wanted to create a health system with money where mistakes cost money and you make money each day. Also wanted to have exes that you can buy between days that manipulate the files in ways that make satisfying the clients easier. Overall had a great time and will be making many more games!

Good thing this game isn't actually 100 mbs! I like the idea a lot, the playing with a built-in OS concept is pretty interesting, and I could see this growing with more boss notes, or organization aspects. Maybe more files and selection with shift and box selection, handling the chaos that ensues. But a simulated OS is a great idea, and limited HD space gives me nostalgic memories from back when a Gigabyte felt endless.

Love the concept and it's relatively fun. Shame you didn't get the chance to build it bigger, I was genuinely disappointed when I realized there was only one client

:) Very interesting and different mechanic! I like the simple graphics. It was definitely a big wall of text to get through at the start in order to understand what was going on. But I really like your idea here!

Thank y'all for the kind words, honestly made me a little emotional. And thanks for trying my game!

Interesting game and love the aesthetic! The readme was kinda long though and I wasn't sure what word the game wanted occasionally. The OS stuff was nice though, the .. folder was a nice throwback to working in terminal. Nice job :D

Good start of a game. It's great that you decided to emulate a small OS with limited amount of space, really cool concept.

I don't know how but I manage to get this size:

It's unfortunate that you didn't get the chance to create other clients as just having the task to change description to the opposite is a bit tedious once you did it for a few minutes.

I think if you had a few different clients and more complex task, with more time to execute each of them, it could become really a fun simulation.

Nice little game. I liked the idea, though I think it would be better to send a pack of files that you need to modify all together, instead of being constantly bombarded with files. Overall, nice little game with a lot of potential.

Chill but hectic game. I worked hard to get all my files out. I fell like there was no notification that the day was over. However I also think I got some file incorrect by changing "A full {X}" to "An empty {X}". Grammatically correct, but direct comparison wrong. I do think having more clients would be fun having to balance what file had what change. Hope you do get the chance to expand and implement the ideas you thought of. Good Game.

Very nice entry. Fun to play, super hectic to not run out of space, so you hit that mark nicely. A bit of a shame that the controls are a bit more complicated and that long readme is really tiresome to read. If this was more aligned with e.g. Windows Explorer works with own little server entries where you drop the stuff and have the essential controls right, this could be something I would play a lot more. Good stuff for this jam nonetheless. Nice one!
