Wild Deuce Chase (Ludum Dare 50 Jam)

Description

You're a park manager overseeing the pride and joy of your local town: the park!
Visitors come from far and wide ready to enjoy the amenities you've procured for them.

wild-deuce-chase's Issues

Game Progression

Progression is based upon successful visitor exits

Tax Dollars are dispensed every time pedestrians enter

Tax dollars can be spent on purchasing park staff, items like traffic cones, or tools (maybe pushbroom, faster cleaners)

Tax dollars will be spent up front on purchases, staff will also incur a cost over time

As total pedestrians entered / exited adds up, the park will expand. Additional walkways will be added, cameras will pan out, more geese will be in game, and the rate of visitors will increase.

On purchase park staff will spawn out of park maintenace building
