Pleasantville Happiness Community! #minijam late submission

If you are confused and would like to see some gameplay, check out the twitch highlight here: Twitch Gameplay Highlight and Instructions

HI, everyone!

This is a late entry to the Game Jam #MiniJam!

The Theme was ENVIRONMENT.  You are ONLY allowed to control the Environment.

So, as Roberto, you are in charge of the Lighting, Air Conditioning and Heating!  Now I do have some "damage" and "health" in there.  I sincerely hope it doesn't break the rule on violence.  I had to figure out some lose condition to restrict Roberto.  If it does, well, :( shoot.  At least people can play this game :)

I was asked to make a bunch of sprites, we were going for a simple game, and then everyone broke up.  The programmer, had a personal emergency and we didn't know it was a bust until Day 2 of the 4 day jam.  While I made Baby Eater in GML years ago, I have only just now begun learning Unity3d.

Then a couple people at GameDev.TV said they'd help!  But they wouldn't program.  So they tutored me while I struggled to learn C# on my own.  I have no doubt a real skilled programmer could've done it all in the timeframe.  I managed to do all the artwork and the handful of custom sounds I could do in the same equivalent time as the Jam.  3 days for art, 3 days for programming + 3 days for sound.  I have most of my progress on Twitch if you want to see me struggle for hours on end trying to find 1 line of code!  lol

I am just happy I was allowed a late entry, that way all those art assets I made wouldn't go to waste.  Had I not already made those assets I would've just given up until next Jam.

So, originally the idea was to have multiple levels.  Unfortunately I was so slow in learning programming I only made 1.  Consider it a teaser Demo Level.  It is not meant to be SUPER hard.  There is a trick to make it EASIER.  But it still has a little learning curve.

There are 3 endings.

The UES logo is from my other game, as is the UES Jingle (made by the amazing Lazaro, check out Baby Eater for links to his work).

I've made this game in the GameBoy style, only swapping out the palette.  I followed the rules as closely as possible in terms of limitations and believe this game could easily be ported to the original GameBoy.  I call this the Unicorn Handheld System.

Roberto the Automaton is a Fair Use modified satirical modified version of Robby the Robot.  If anyone wants to see my code, I'll put it up.  it is really really goofy ;)  I have some fun code in there.

Enjoy!
