Nice entry! Great job getting a game out with pygame so quickly considering its the first time you've used it! It was pretty fun initially but the choices did eventually get a little repetitive, so after a few rounds I ended up only looking at the impact on cash, productivity, etc. I like the idea, and you can't really avoid getting fired so it ties in well with the theme.
Cool game. My antivirus (Norton) flagged the exe as a virus, so I downloaded the source (props to you for releasing it btw). When I did what I thought was moral, I lasted 2 years. When I just did it based on stats I lasted 7 years. Makes you think. Good job!
Fun game! Love to see another strategy sim entry. It'd be nice if the choices of one event led to future events (and if they already do, the game signaled this :wink:).
@augustcoder Yeah one of my teammates noticed that some AVs didn't like it when he uploaded the binary to VirusTotal. Not sure what the problem is since it's just made with PyInstaller. I guess that's one benefit of Open Source!
Fun game, one remark is that a bad draw can suddenly see you fired at a 15% chance after many turns of 0%, which is annoying. Not sure how to fix that though.
I really enjoy these types of games, this one included. I am torn on a suggestion.. On one hand, the ability to see how the numbers impact you ahead of time and adjust accordingly is what makes this game a little more original. However, at the same time, it also makes it almost so the text doesn't matter. I think having a vague indicator of what stats are affected instead of telling you the exact numbers, would make you have to actually read the flavor text for each question. As it stands right now, it's just a numbers game but, now that I write that, I guess that is how business works anyway.
All in all, I enjoyed the game. Great Job.
Fun game about the pressures of business. I liked that the interface was clear so it was immediately obvious how to play and what effect things would have. Although, with the decisions getting repetitive after a while, and getting fired being semi-random, it seems like there isn’t much of a reason to keep playing beyond a certain point. For a game where the goal is to see how long you can keep going, (for me at least, I guess I’m a novelty-seeking player) there needs to be more motivation to continue playing.
