Ack! Only 4 days left! I've really bitten off way more than I can chew, but pushing forward...
This weekend I got the daily news system implemented. I wanted to have competing newspapers, but have settled for 1 newspaper with the left column usually more factual and the right hand side more editorial and negative.
And, I implemented the business UI. Here you can see the progress of each Factory (Candy, Screams and Scares). You can also purchase upgrades (which costs work units). It's a super simplified tech tree, but I've left it open so that each business can have it's own tree with each upgrade having a different effect. Right now the upgrades just improve the efficiency of the work being done.
With only 4 days left, I'm going to be leaving a LOT undone, which is unfortunate. Still learning this fun hobby and enjoying the heck out of it! The next four days I'll focus on:
1. News articles. Short articles based on what is going on to put on the daily newspaper.
2. Titles and some kind of music/sound. It will be quite sparse from an audio perspective...running out of time and I don't have a lot of skills there.
3. 3d Houses and Factory. Super simple...won't be at all how I imagine them in my head, but need something there.
4. Final polish/clean up before submitting.
What a great learning experience this has been!
