A downloadable prototype for Windows

About This Game (Prototype...thing):

You are the governor of Squarelandia, a state/nation/thing.  Make your nation prosperous.  That is all.

Serious Notes:

This is a prototype made for the Extra Credits Jam #4.  It is extremely rough, but it has at least one element of actual gameplay...which is more than I expected to actually get in with how much I had to learn just to make this prototype.  I will be looking at updating it later on to fix bugs/missing features noted below and possibly bring it into being a full (free?) game.

Instructions:

  • Click and drag to connect cities together.  Cities will not allow you to make duplicate connections to each other.
  • Cities will automagically negotiate food with each other until they have at least 0 food each.
  • Cities will (attempt to) spawn every 5 seconds.  Trading also occurs every 5 seconds.

The following bugs or missing features were intended to be fixed by the end of the jam, but due to time/energy constraints must be left in:

  • Cities are all named Stuttgart.
  • Cities all have the same default description.
  • Cities do not attempt to garner more than 0 food.
  • Cities sometimes all like to spawn with more than enough food.
  • Cities "have population" but do not grow or decline.
  • No scoring / no win conditions.
  • Some debug statements have been left in.  Oops.
  • Game window cannot be rescaled.
  • There is no music.  Or sound effects.  Or audio period.
