How to Smile - Now that you can(?)
This is a very early prototype, I got hung up on personal stuff and laying the fundamentals and mood. It will be worked on and eventually finished.
BOTH THE WEB AND WINDOWS VERSION AREN'T PROPERLY DISPLAYING THE CGA DOS AESTHETICS! Somehow, they have problems with the old-school MS-DOS block characters. Eventually, I will have to look into how to fix that, unfortunately, all the testing I did was on Linux. Oops.
My submission for Fuck Capitalism Jam 2024, check out the other submissions!
It's been 6 months since the (happy) ending of the first game - the country and people have been swept away by ecstasy, a system of vouchers instead of money has been implemented roughly, but the real work is only now beginning. Will you be able to use your influence to do the hard work of actually making this revolution a success, even in the face of international hostility, and the complicated premise of managing a world that has never been before?

2 games in the top 1/4 of the FxxK Capitalism 2024 Game Jam... You definitely are an abnormal human being! Great work, really interested to see where you take this if you keep working on it.
Thank you so much for your kind words, it means a lot to me <3
I'll definitely keep working at it, but I'll have to pace myself over the coming weeks, unfortunately, there is still a bit of personal stress going on, so the first big update for this will have to wait for a bit, but I definitely won't drop this project or game dev in general.
There were so many great games in this jam, I'm surprised and feel honoured I placed so well, thank you, and thanks to everyone that created, played, enjoyed and critiqued.
Your entry also very much deservedly placed in the top 10, that was great work.
