7drl 2020 Day 1


Great, productive day.  I am really glad to be using Gamemaker Studio 2 this year.  I've been able to focus the vast majority of my time on adding content and features, without much code getting in the way.  I did have a nasty freeze bug, but my brother Porktoss was able to figure out how to reproduce it and then it wasn't too hard to fix.  I was really worried that I'd be fighting this issue all week!

Things done today:

  • IRA's, SMA's, and 401k's pickups
  • Robust Stock Market Simulation
  • Debt, Happiness, and Stress
  • Spouse, Kids, Credit Cards, Vacations, and TV's
  • Floating Text
  • Tooltips
  • Gesture movement for mobile
  • Game over screen & gamestate
  • Game changes as you age

It's very playable!  I'd like to add spouse/pets that follow you and do interesting things but we'll see.   My goal is to have an iOS app by Wed and then start tuning Art and SFX.  I am a little worried about how to support lots of device resolutions, and maybe that should be post 7drl.

Overheard quote of the day "I don't think getting married is worth it. It makes you happy but it's pretty expensive"
