A Free Mini-Game Appears!
Rifter01 | 9:57 AM on 05.15.2008 2 comments


Hey everyone, I know GTA4 is pulling you all in, and is mostly impossible to put down. But, if you're looking for a fun little (casual game) break, why not try my little mini homebrew game? Yes, it is nothing blockbuster or FPS.. It is actually just a little 2-D sim business game. And it is FOR FREE.

Well, considering it is my first unreleased game, it may not be everyone's cup of tea.. (It does feature colors beyond color, and [color=green]rainbows... AHHHHH!!!) But if you like retro games, flash games, and mindless pointing and clicking and games that go CHA-CHING, well, it should be at least a little fun or distraction in your day. If you only like naked bodies (I'm looking at you SecondLife!) or blood and gore on screen at all times, just pass on it, coz it deff won't add inches to your already beefy member.

Some System Requirements
--------------------------------
It is Windows 98~XP only as far as I know (Sorry Mac/Linux/Vista :(
It may or may NOT run on Vista.. I haven't tried yet, but maybe someone will let me know?
Almost any and all video cards should work!!
The D/L is only 12 MB, and should take about 30 seconds to d/l over broadband.
On average it should take about 4-5 minutes to install
It takes up about 43 MB on hard disk. It has an Installer to install wherever you like. To uninstall, just delete all files in the folder and any desktop/start menu icons, (read the readme.txt for more information).

Title Screen


Download It Here! TGG1FULL.MSI (12.5 MB)[/color] [Update: Link is broken, due to no webhosting at this time. -Aug. 08, 2008.]

Now as with most homebrew and beta games - Oh Noes! A DISCLAIMER!!:
Although this download is 100% free of spyware, adware and malware of any kind, I or my company or any affiliated companies are not liable for any/all problems that may arise from your using the software. As this software is provided completely FREE, I cannot provide technical support, nor, be held liable for any damages from the use or inability to use this product. No warranty either express or implied.

IN OTHER WORDS - If you download this, and it ends up being the proverbial straw that breaks the camel's back and ruins your computer or day, sorry, but I provide this FREE and it is downloaded or used AT YOUR OWN RISK.

Whew, now with that out of the way, enjoy, there are a few secret cheats in the game, (hey, at least that is something my game has in common with GTA!) and ignore the wordiness of the license.txt and readme.. It was something I sent to Microsoft, so all the blah blah is mainly for that. However, if you read towards the end of the readme, you might just find a few cheats/spoilers. There are some math errors and imperfections, (like debug info in the corner, etc.), I'm already aware of, but overall it is just for fun, not really meant to be an actual "SIM".

Also, you may spread the game around if you see fit, (ignore the license.txt - again that was for distribution, selling, etc.. You CAN give it away AS LONG AS YOU DON'T RESELL IT. IT IS OK to torrent, share, upload to anyone you like), just don't rip on my game / reuse assets / images in any way that changes them or puts them into something else. I'm not trying to be a pain here, just, before you make any changes to the code or gfx, or resell on a compilation CD or whatnot, I'd appreciate it if you dropped me a line first. Thanks.

Oh, feel free to give me feedback, and ask questions if you like or are trying to make your own homebrew game, maybe I can offer a little help here or there.. Although I still use this as a portfolio piece as an example of something easy I did in about 2-3 months time, I won't be working on it anymore (it isn't a wholly original idea after all, and years old already) I might use any/all of your comments to help shape future games, thanks.
