Challenging game. I included it in my Godot Community Jam compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look. :)

Submitted

Those damn tenants cares only about air conditioners, like this is  the only thing that matters in apartments. But seriously cool concept, I like that you have to manage your cash for repairs. Sadly I always encountered moment when nothing happend further and I had to reset the game :(

Jam Host

The art is pretty nice, and the concept is interesting! In its current state the gameplay is a bit limited as it seems to amount mostly to click Repair each time it pops up, eventually running out of money and losing tenants :P

After a couple months the temperature stopped changing as was stuck at 51 degrees (Fahrenheit I guess, otherwise man it's hot - please add a Celsius option for the SI-using rest of the world in a future update :D), so it became an idle game and I went to $10k easily ;)

Developer

A couple of good ideas, I'll have to add for sure. Thanks for the feedback.

Submitted

Plays on Windows 10 64-bit. I enjoyed it! Pretty simple right now, but I could see this becoming quite an expansive "simulator" style game.

Thanks for including instructions! A lot of the games leave you hanging. 

P.S. Love the skyline

A game where you're in charge of handling repairs in a building and the air conditioners keep failing.
Nice and simple concept, sharp graphics with a large resolution (in comparison to my laptops modest 1366x768), you should enable scaling. Good job.

Adding Scaling is a good idea. I'll add that as one of my first updates. Thanks for the feedback.

Sorry about the missing file, everybody.  I've updated the WINDOWS build to include the missing file in the ZIP. I've also added a MacOS and Linux version as well.

Went the extra mile and downloaded the source code from github and opened in godot, it's a pain but I could at least try it Too bad it takes a few clicks on REPAIR to crash the game, I assume it's something with how you keep track of the AC units in the array/dictionary. The idea is nice and simple, can't rate too high because of the immediate crash, if I could play for a little longer at least I could have got the feeling for it.

Thanks for the feedback.  I did notice the bug when I made some last minute changes to the overall game. It only happens from time to time, and given the short duration of the #Godotjam I couldn't identify the issue in time, but I do plan on fixing it, and even adding more functionality to game, that I didn't have time for.

Submitted

Tehe, know how that goes, I also got some bugs in my entry that I couldn't fix in time and lots of missing features I wanted to have in have.


Didn't try it that many times but your game crashed every time for me after a couple of repair clicks but I'm sure you can fix it.

Submitted

Tried running it with wine, and got a " Error: Could not load game path '.'" ".
As stated in the previous comments, the game is missing files.

Submitted

Yes, it's missing the pck file so it doesn't work, too bad, at least the soruce code could have been uploaded.

Developer(+1)

I've updated the project with a complete Windows build, as well as added a MacOSX and Linux build.

Submitted

You may have forgotten to include .pck

The game doesn't start.

Developer

Thanks for catching this. I've updated the Windows build and added a MacOSX and Linux build.

Submitted

I understand that you might not want to publish untested builds, but linux user would appreciate them.

Developer

Added a Linux build. I didn't get a chance to fully test it, so feedback is appreciated and welcome.
