Getting Started Guide
Hey everyone! Since I pushed my game out just barely making it in time, I just wanted to give anyone that is wishing to try this game a quick run through if needed (it should be self explanatory, but if need any help come back over to this post)
I'll make a list below of anything you need to know to get going after you install!
Getting Started:
After running the Dev Coffee - GMTK 2022 Jam.exe you need to select:
"Click here to start" with your mouse on the title screen.
Choosing / Typing in a Task to focus on:
You will then need to click and type in what your current task you want to complete for example you could type:
"Programming", "Troubleshooting", "Game Jamming" (I think that's a term.. right?), "Debugging (You know damn sure that's what I'll be doing lol, go down and look at my list of known issues below.. yikes.. I don't want to imagine the list of unknown issues looks like).
Choosing a time range for your task session (it's random, but there's a short and longer option)
Anyways! After you type what you'll be doing, click one of the task duration options:
[Shorter Task] - Timer ranges from 7-27 mins.
[Longer Task ] - Timer ranges from 30 mins to 57 mins (No tasks longer than an hour)
[Super Short Game Jam Mode] - Timer rangers from 17 seconds to 2:37 seconds (Game Jam Timer is currently not working, I will try and fix after voting is finished per the jam rules.)
Start working on your task
Once you have selected your task duration options we discussed above, you can can then select the "Start Task" button below the timer on the right side of the screen. (note this menu with the timer currently doesn't display your initial task you typed in from the previous options / menu.)
After you click the "Start Task" button, you will see one of the Challenges Modifiers you can then read in the top left of the screen and try to complete the challenge by beating the timer, using the entire time to focus on your task, ect. The main goal is to keep focus on your main task until your task is finished or the timer runs out.
Finishing up. Beans and Rewards
When you complete the task, you will be rewarded with beans that would be used to unlock perks or "Helper Modifiers", the bean collecting isn't currently not working unfortunately. But while you're on the game, you can click through the different challenges / helper modifiers (even without beans currently). This can give anyone interested a general idea of how this game is supposed to help, its far from an exhaustive list (Maybe like 10 modifiers total I think) but definitely some things to look out for!
Please. seriously please don't wait out the timer on any of these tasks, there's so many amazing jam games to play, and this is not one of them. I just made this game with the attempt that it can hopefully trick my brain into being productive.
