Brewing A Gain – GMTK Game Jam 2024

Brewing A Gain is a simple matching game where the things you produce in each stage are saved for you next stage! By the third stage you must flick between making vials, potions, and elixirs to keep your business afloat!

 

I was the sole programmer on this project.

Description

"Welcome to the Dragonscale Apothecary! You're the new owner! Scale up your new alchemy business with more and more complex orders on an expanding potion brewing workspace! "

With this year's theme of 'Built to Scale', we wanted to focus on building and scaling a business. The game starts as a cozy colour-matching puzzle game, but over time expands into a hectic strategy game where the player is juggling more aspects of production. Additionally, the camera pulls back to reveal the scaling work space as more elements are brought to the table.
