Beta Release 0.1

Urbanity 

This will mark the 1/2 point of the GameJam and this log commemorates the current Build.40 as the the Beta release, with the first display of multiple endings and achievements. The skeleton of the complete worker story path in this demo is complete, with only work to be done on the Snakes and Ladders story-line :
The story of Metropolis has been told in this homage as your play thorough can be divided into the thinker or worker path

As you play in the work path, you must work to pay rent while facing the constant barrage of fee's and taxes the Urbanity life style levees against it's working class.

Can you earn enough to pay of your rent twice to make it up the electric lift or will your subterranean metro jams leave you out of cash.

Over the last few days have not been too active except in thinking and seeking feedback. Posted game dev log publicly to solicit feedback from the thread associated in the Game Jam. Didn't get much from there, but shared with some friends: Friend 1 - 

"Felt the game was too much like work"

Used an auto-clicker to reach 666$ 

This was in the mid-200 days in.

Friend 2 -

They felt the theme goal achieved, provided ideas, offered to use their Voice over as in game audio.  Starting today - Bug Chase -

private bool initializing = false; private void InitializeMaze() { if(initializing) return; initializing = true; if(grid!=null) { for (int x = 0; x < grid.GetLength(0); x++) { for (int y = 0; y < grid.GetLength(1); y++) { grid[x, y].visited = false; grid[x, y].walls = new bool[] { true, true, true, true }; } } } else { Grid gridScript = FindObjectOfType<Grid>(); // Assign the grid from the Grid script to the MazeGenerator script grid = gridScript.grid; initializing = false; InitializeMaze(); } initializing = false; }
