Dev Coffee - GMTK 2022 Game Jam Submission
A downloadable Productivity-Game for Windows
Mmmm...
Can you smell that? No it's not the elegant smell of an unshowered dev drinking a piping cup of joe... hmm, no it can't be that.. but... there's definitely a whiff of coffee.. weird.... huh, well it certainly isn't the sweet aroma of gamedev coffee breath from not brushing their teeth last night to work on this game jam gracing our nostrils nope, none of that.. What a mystery... I JUST can't put my finger on it.. come to think of it, could it be... Wait.. well.. actually Yes!!!! that's definitely the fresh scent of delicious, thirst quenching, odorless, tasteless, virtual, nothing like real coffee at all (Game)Dev Coffee(tm)! Of course! Mmm, mmm!!! Now that's the good stuff right there.. Well While you're here, why don't you grab a mug and hang out for a while. Well on a second thought I guess you shouldn't get too comfy now, you might not be sitting for too long, or... maybe you will! Who knows! Wait didn't you have work to get done?
Okay okay! I'll get to the point!
Dev Coffee is a unique(maybe not) take on gaming and productivity to gamify your game development tasks while giving relaxing music and sound effects to give the vibes being in a low key coffee shop all while making a dent on your project.
Simply input the current task you're working on like:
"Programming", "Level Design", "Art", "Animations", ect. or Maybe it's a more specific task, chuck it in there and try it out!
Then when you're ready, start a randomized challenge with a randomized amount of time ticking down on the clock and try to make as much progress as you can! The goal here is creativity and focus. So if at first glance, the challenge you get doesn't make sense to your task at the present, my ask would be to ponder on it and attempt it, and maybe a unique idea or different approach will come from it.
Alright so you finished your first task and want to keep on going what you were doing? No worries! Keep it going by starting another task and see what special challenge lies in store for you, Or Keep the task the same and roll a different challenge.
For every challenge completed you'll be rewarded with a coffee bean! Which can be spent on help modifiers to your task at hand, Progress collectables to see your growth, and other unlocks (coming soon tm)!
Keep a high score of the total amount of tasks you completed as a reminder of how much progress you've made!
Lastly as a side note, I wanted to say if you made it through this far along the wall of text and ridiculous nonsense, I just wanted to say thank you for checking this out and clicking around on through the game. There's over 6000+ submissions in the jam, So it really means the world to me.
I absolutely love the GMTK community that has shown itself so far! This was my first 48 hour jam, and it was short and sweet, I loved the theme and I'm looking forward to playing as many of these games as I can!
Cheers! We did it!
