Background

We joined the GTMTK Game Jam 2024, which the theme was Built to Scale.

We brainstormed on Excalidraw and created a game design document. We decided to make a visual novel game with RPG mechanics. You play as an entrepreneur in building a scaling business.

We chose Ren’Py as the game engine and wrote an initial script. We generated the repository from remarkablegames/renpy-template.

We then added core mechanics:

  • day-and-night cycle
  • RPG stats
  • daily events

We shortened the gameplay from 30 days to 21 and rebalanced the game so it’s easier. We then did some last minute polishing and trimming of fat before submitting it to the 96-hour game jam.

You can find our game on GitHub. Let us know what you think!
