My Family Business by hsandt

[raw]
made by hsandt for LD 44 (UNFINISH)

Ludum Dare 44 entry - A creative item shopkeeper sells his/her family life to run the business


You are running a shop selling creative items with your spouse, but your business is not running as good as you expected, and you may soon have to close the doors.

A mysterious salesman arrives and proposes you to sell your relationship, memories and activities with your surroundings in exchange for tremendous funds for your company.


The jam entry version is less than an alpha, there is only a bare framework for the different game phases in a 1-day loop:

  1. Receive ordered items

  2. Place items to sell in the shop

  3. (Not implemented) Let customers come and buy

  4. (Not implemented) Sell your family bounds for extra money

  5. (Not implemented) Order new items for the next day

The story is not explained at all, and in particular a crucial mechanic, selling your relationships with your relatives, is not implemented, making the game not related to the jam theme at all.

I will continue working on the game and will upload new versions on itch.io.
