[bug report] When I first loaded the game, I wasn't able to see the full UI (this monitor is 1440p and vertical). I moved it to a different monitor (4k, horizontal), and then it worked fine. I'm not sure how to fix this.. perhaps you are using exact pixel sizing for the game, and it doesn't resize to work on lower resolution monitors?
Just wanted to share so you're aware of this behavior for your future projects, and in case anyone else reviewing projects in the jam is blocked by this (or knows how to fix it).
Thanks!
For sure! I really need to learn Unity's UI system better
Thanks for sharing! The UI worked well, and I was able to sell lemons and rake in the money.
I think it would help to have more in-game insight into the simulation, as without that I didn't have any reason to modify the two bars (price or more/less lemons). It seemed liked I could make a profit just by buying the resources on the left and then selling them (clicking "next day") without tweaking those knobs.
So why should I change them? Possible ideas:
- there are goals you're trying to hit, that require you to modify them (e.g. you must pay back $500 in 10 days)
- you need to respond to a changing world (e.g. customer preferences or willingness to pay changes), so what you did on day X isn't still the optimal thing on day X+1
Congrats on making your first simulation game!
Ooooo yes. I would have added more insight but I was worried I didn't have enough time after programming the randomness generation. But putting a cap on the days would have been an easy and quick way to add some actual difficulty!
Cool idea, I made Tycoon games like this in unity back in the day, always quite the challenge balancing while keeping it fun (even more-so with such a short timespan).
I think this project could use a little more feedback given to the player. Such as Sound effects or visual feedback when buying.
Also, a daily total / summery page after each day, or some other form of feedback would be nice. It’s kinda hard to tell what’s happening when you start a day & get no sales.
Overall a cool little project, good work!
Absolutely. If only I had more time. Which really means, if I hadn't spent so long trying to figure out Unity UI lol
