Finally decided to join in, here's where we're at!
We weren't sure if we (my compadre and I) would join in this time, but heck, why not.
So here we are, a litte over 24 hours in, with a prototype we are already quite happy about.
This is the first draft, very rough. Excuse my French (literally), which is actually kind of rude.
Genesis
We went for a game where you are so outrageously rich that when you went to swim in your gold, you didn't suspect that all you income could come to crush you. You are now frantically trying to buy everything you can to lower the level of gold in your vault by clicking on the buttons. Some buy stuff and extend your life, but some are traps that GIVE you money. Bastards!
The gameplay hasn't changed a lot since the first gif, but we are trying to make it look (and feel) a little better with these animations. The vault sprite is a temporary one.
This is where we are now. It's starting to feel good and fun to play (you can't hear them because silly blog post doesn't accept videos (or I'm too stupid), but there are sounds too).
As of now, we still haven't decided yet if you can win (spend enough money to manage to exit your vault) or not (survive the longer) Also, there is ONE button that'll make something a little unexpected (but harmless) and we don't know yet if we'll have time to add other kinds of button with an effect other than +$XXXX or -$XXXX
Current mandatory TODO list : - Replace placeholder sounds (because yes, there are sounds, but also yes, they are placeholder sounds from our last game :)) - Add a "mountain of gold" sprite to replace textual indicators - Finish main menu - Add a small scene to explain what is going on and how to play
Backlog : - Add a leaderboard
