NB: Post-Jam version has a ton of graphical improvements, so don't judge graphics based on that version. Gameplay and algorithms are unchanged though.
To play:
* move the king with the mouse
* click on the merchants when you are close to see their offers
* select trade offers
* advance the week with the arrow in the lower right
Mostly an experiment in seeing what it takes to create an economic game with a bunch of variables. You can jump in and make trades and accumulate the most products, and the various factions will consume, produce, and trade amongst themselves (only between weeks).
Under the hood they have relationships with each other, happiness, and vices like gluttony and decadence. Of course, I haven't really revealed this in the UI due to time, so trust me, I guess?
Everything designed over the weekend by me.
