Design Insights

This game was part of the 2025 Global Game Jam. My role in producing the game was to create the gameplay loop including utilizing all of the dialogue written by my team. I was tasked with making sure all of the dialogue fit the tone of the game and was functional for the game experience we were creating. In addition I assisted in creating the gameplay loop to invoke the feeling of playing as a scummy stock broker that we wanted to invoke.
