taskmaster.jpg TaskMaster 2000 is the program you need to get your life together!
With the guidance of TaskMaster 2000's built-in assistant, Mugsy, help a budding freelancer organize her schedule for the month as she tries to balance work, family, friends, and her eccentric-yet-lovable boyfriend, Jerry.
We hope you enjoy this humorous puzzle game, because we sure had fun making it for our third LudumDare!!
I love the art, pretty consistent and clean, the pallet was modest but very well selected. The game was very humoristic and it has bunch of winks for windows users. Pretty neat work. Congratulations guys!
Very original idea. Congrats! It fills the jam theme so well. O love how the system of the emails and how to put it in the calendar, say my congratulations to the programmer hehe. The cartoony art is awesome as well. And the text of the emails was fun to read :D
One thing I missed was the music and sounds. And the text was kind of blurry in the emails. Did you use the default ui text in unity? If so, using textMeshPro instead the default text solves the blurriness. But excellent game and concept. I love it!
The premise and graphic design are great! Mugsy and the splash page set the tone with a retro 90s wink. The emails are comic, but the outrageousness of the first ones I got confused me about what world I'm in. Ex: I didn't realize that I should be charging realistic rates for my work, and I accepted a job for $2/hour. Things picked up when I realized that I could preview all five mails before placing any of them. I wish I understood the overall scoring better. It's a little ironic to have a game about trying to squeeze stuff into a schedule and having all the time in the world to decide. I was amused and alarmed by my relationship with Jerry.
@mattincho thanks!! :) I'm so grateful for our designer making the sleek interface!! @myalias thank you!! : D @bichodust Thank you!!! I think this is the most I've ever accomplished as a programmer! :) Ooh, textmesh pro is a good idea!! I should definitely use that @wrenpirate thanks so much for playing!! I wonder how we can better communicate that you can switch between the 5 emails you get? ooo maybe we should have a countdown timer for each level? we sort of fell in love with jerry, our big dumb boyfriend, as we were developing this. @iarzu thank you!!
cool but this is not seems like a game. i think this thing need something more like mini games after choosing tasks or something else... any way good idea, good done and good score for me)
Fun idea! The tea cup reminds of that old office clippy, nice reference in there. The interface is amazing! I would love to see this as a full game, perhaps where you can also explore other stuff in the OS, opening other programs and just doing random stuff. Nice job!
@rs11s21n yeah, I've been thinking about what ways this game could be extended. maybe a timer? a loading mini game... hmmm...
@velvetlobster thanks so much!! that's a really good idea!! maybe there could be so much stuff to manage :>
@saoi-games thank you so much for streaming it!! it was so fun/amazing to watch someone play! i laughed a lot haha. Your critique is really valid too! We wanted to change the way scoring was done to make it more clear, but I just haven't had the time to update it.
@danielpancake maybe we'll make a real taskmaster 2000 ;)
