This is my first ever game jam submission and I'm proud to say that my game is at least functional. I wish I was able to add more but I had a few busy moments. All the content is original except for the font which I found for free online.
For the theme, all I could really think of is an idle game since those never end and that's pretty much the best of my game developing abilities. I tried to make something unique by adding more than 1 step to the money-making process.
The goal of the game is to complete tasks by creating tracks, scripts, and sprites to create games and make money. You can then spend the money to hire workers to automatically create things for you.
I didn't add a mute button. Sorry if the background music starts annoying you.
Controls are simple: just click to interact. Thank you for playing my game and good luck to everybody!
Very nice little clicker game, I like the take on the stuck in a loop topic. Personally not a big fan of clickers, so seeing that you kept me busy with this one is a compliment on it's own :) Good game!
Nice job! I cool twist on the clicker game. Game felt pretty polished but maybe the UI and the Background needs some work. It was good enough to distract me during spanish class it was fun to play.
Why won't this artist work faster? I KNOW. I'LL JUST DO THE ART MAHSELF. click-click-click-click-click WHAT MY GAME DID POORLY???
Anyway, this is a great game for your first jam! I only wish there were a way to customize the screen size, as it took me a long time to realize I could scroll down and see that my money total was going up. It would also be nice to have some sort of end goal, rather than being ... ahem, stuck in a loop. D:
Nice entry ! Fun clicker game, always addictive enough to give it an other click ! I really like the simple UI interface, and deconstruction of a game maker job!
An idle/clicker game?! Why did I not make this?!?!?! :O
Nice! Good job with your first jam submission! :)
Random thought/idea: how about making the 3 tasks handled in different ways? Code - you press random keys fast instead of clicking; sprites - you draw with the mouse (just drag the mouse around to make random shapes in random colors); tracks - uh... use mic to make noises? :D I' not sure about that last one, but you get the idea.
@carraka Yea that's a 1/10 chance lol. Also thanks for the suggestion. I was planning to add achievements/milestones later on so at least there's goals to strive for.
@donamougou Many thanks! I really like to keep things simple.
@pulni Thanks for the idea. I was thinking of what you said, but I didn't know how to do it unfortunately. I'm still kind of a beginner. I would love to learn more so I can implement that in the future.

Loved your game. Unfortunately theres not much to it. I submitted i think around 12 games and stopped playing. Would be nice if there was some kind of progression or story :) Great work tho
This is a fun little idle clicker game. You made game development work really well as a metaphor for the genre, and the keyboard typing sounds when you click the icons are great.
Despite being really simple, the art was really likeable and the music wasn't at all annoying (you could hear the Bosca Ceoil in it; if that's what you used :sweat_smile:)
I've always struggled with making idle clickers, so nice game!
@itsdanidre Funny you say that because I originally used Bosca Ceoil to make the track but then remixed it in LMMS. I guess that's where it gets its Bosca Ceoil vibe.
