What did you learn about financial literacy?
I learned I have none. I was born poor and I will likely die poor. lol.
How did you apply what you learned to your game?
I just wanted to make a fun game about the effects of "compounding" I guess? My entry was less "directly financial focused" and more "this is some fun numbers with percentages, flat rates, and multipliers". haha.
What challenges did you face in making it work?
I did, and still think I overcomplicated the mechanics a bit. In theory it all makes sense, you buy groceries that make a total and you use coupons to hopefully not own anything by the end or even get cash back. In actuality, however, its just a bit complicated for a game I think. I will probably simplify the mechanics some once the jam judging is finished. The biggest challenge was conveying the ideas properly without text dumping every nuance, but thats generally *always* the hard part with games. haha.
Bankroll looks great! Can't wait to check it out! :D
