Shitty Mart Inc. - Employee of the Month

I have withdrawn from the Jam. Three days was just too little dev time this time around, so I have simply chosen to not be part of the jam and get the game up to the standards I want it to be at.

Plan:

  • Get the code cleaned up and fully working.
  • Get rid of excess code from me frantically typing like a maniac.
  • Add art to the girls. My stick-figures I ended up drawing all by myself was finally cut, but I will get something made up for the game with a little help from our dearly hated AI firends.
  • Change the UI and color scheme. I was never really happy with it, and it needs some refinement to be up to my standards.
  • Considering making headers for each room instead of using the room descriptions.

Story:
You are the new quality control at Shitty Mart Inc. Your job: stopping sub-par robots from leaving the production facilities. Every day you wake up and head to work, hoping beyond all hope that your paycheck will be enough to cover your rent, and leave you enough money for a small sandwich or maybe even a proper meal.

Does this feature female-wg or male-wg? Or neither or both?

Self Drawn art cant wait to see it man. What program are you using?

Haha, I may have been overselling myself a bit there. It’s still just me mucking around in GIMP, but I think it looks… like it was drawn by a five year old but decent XD I may not have all the art finished by monday, but I’m trying my best :slight_smile:

I don’t know if I’m doing something wrong, but I’m stuck at the first day. I worked until 5 energy remained so I could leave without fainting. However, when I tried to leave, I couldn’t because I still had work. But if I worked more, then I would faint, and fainting doesn’t end the day or give back energy so I ended up repeatedly fainting. Heck, in the new version, when I fainted, it led to a game over. So I really have no idea what to do.

Hey, art is art!! You’re giving it a try. I recently picked up a pencil/stylus and have been trying to give it a go, and I just keep reminding myself that I’m having fun and starting somewhere.

Take a trip to the break room and get yourself a sandwich

The last update before the end of the Jam. This is the version submitted.

I didn’t finish the artwork for the girls, so that will come later. And a few other things still needs some polish, but overall I am happy with what I got done in 72 hours.

Did I miss something? I can’t get passed the second day. It won’t let me move on from the tenth robot, whether rejected or accepted.

I’ll look into it. It worked before publishing, but things happen in code :slight_smile:

I seem to pass it just fine. I do however see a problem in the reception on day two where a message repeats. I will get that fixed up.

Did you take your uniform off before trying to leave work?

I actually got the same problem. After the tenth robot in the second day, the message to confirm that it was the last one never came, so it was as if there was still work to do and I couldn’t leave, but no more robot came. And yes, I removed the uniform.

to add on to this issue, after the first day, the game seems to skip straight to day 3 no matter what I do, and then after the 10th bot there is no message nor another bot, so the game doesn’t let you progress.

Been trying to recreate the issue all morning at home. Would love to see a screenshot on the discord so I can see what happens.
