Lending Toy

Inspiration

One of the stakeholders talked about financial trouble and how she wishes she knew more about finances when she was young. Talking to her, she gave some insight about what a game that explores finances might include.

What it does

Let's you explore the market forces that make predatory lending profitable, and why people do it.

How I built it

Built in my homebrew game engine, brok[en]gine link

Challenges I ran into

It's a buggy homebrew game engine, I spent like 1/4 of my time fixing the c++ code.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

It works! Kind of, there are a few bugs I wish I could squash, and a few typos that are left unfixed.

What I learned

When time is short, eschew good software development practices to make progress. A lot of my code is copy+pasted and as a result, fixing a bug takes a little longer. However, the small amount of time it takes to fix a bug is outweighed by not having to design the software.

What's next for Lending Toy

Probably languishing in a list of demo games. I don't expect to expand on it.
