This is our Ludum Dare 45 game, and our first game jam. The theme was "Start With Nothing."
This is a story of a noble man of the streets, who has been bested by the cruelest of fates - housefire. He has now lost everything he holds dear, and thus avails himself to the closest banking facilities to resecure his life.
The primary game loop is a persuasion bar, in order to trick the manager into giving you a greater loan amount. It's a simple timing game, and should be straightfoward - hit space or click the mouse to stop the bouncing slider in the green target area. Missing three times during this persuasion game will result in a game over. Your goal is to secure as much money as possible, but the game gets more difficult with each chance you take. Fail, and lose everything. Win big enough... and maybe something nice might happen!
Controls:
- Space/Click to advance or speed-up text.
- Space/Click to stop the persuasion bar slider (try to hit the target!)
- Up/Down or W/S to select an option when presented with a choice.
Tools:
- Unity
- Aseprite
- Photoshop CC
