Game Start

Inspiration

Preventative measures like financial literacy are less explored territory that when it comes to promoting financial security. Games are a unique medium for conveying a message and this one allows a clear mirror to commonly found games.

What it does

Parodies the standard over-monetized idle game while educating the user on the deliberate manipulations companies are employing to influence their purchase decisions.

How we built it

Gdscript 3.5 compiled to HTML5

Challenges we ran into

Sudden need to change scope of the product due to unforeseen circumstances.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Solo completion

What we learned

How godot works

What's next for Behind Idle

Higher quality and consistent game assets/sprites would allow a much more detailed parody. Ideally an inventory system could be implemented and enemy generation that could continue as a regular idle game for the user after the educational section.
