What did you learn about financial literacy?

I come from a pretty strong financial literacy family... was taught about investing stupidly young. So trying to pass on that knowledge in game form was interesting. Turns out I might have made some things too hard.

2. How did you apply what you learned to your game?

I tried to make investment choices pop up and make you think either long term or short term or risky gains.

3. What challenges did you face in making it work?

Real life got to me sadly :/ I was looking forward to finishing this one in time but life happens. I'll circle back around to this game soon and get it debugged and clean up some of the questions etc.

Sorry you weren't able to finish! Yours was one of the first I played; I found it pretty chill and I liked the trivia component.

Yeah. I hate that I didn't get to finish/ polish.

It's "done" for the most part, but it just has some bugs and glitches that I didn't get to polish out. I also didn't realize the aspect ratio requirements, which would have caused me to redraw a chunk of my assets. It sucks because I left myself time to do that... But that's life when you're a solo dev. Haha

Thanks for playing!
