Use of Theme / Inspiration
Here's a response for the question: --- In "Evil Company Clicker," the themes of environmental impact and corporate ethics are compelling because they mirror real-world challenges and provoke critical thinking. The game incorporates these themes by requiring players to balance profit with sustainability, illustrating the consequences of pollution, greenwashing, and renewable energy investments.

Interesting concept. If done well, I think it could give a nuanced view of how sustainability is challenging in an industry that prioritizes profits and rapid development. I have fond memories of playing clicker games, looking forward to seeing your work :)
A very interesting concept that fits well with the theme. However the GDD does not seem to include any sort of production plan or much beyond some inspiration screenshots and a summary so I'm unsure of the exact scope or how you plan to accomplish it. I like how the good ending is you loosing though that is funny. I can guess that the bad ending would be you winning but its never exactly stated.
This looks great! I think you picked a great genre for a jam like this, simple enough you can make the key components quickly leaving you plenty of time to expand and build upon it. Seeing the environmental changes I'm response to your company sounds really cool I can't wait to see how it turns out!
