Palletize!


Over the past 3 years I have spent time learning programming. And guess what I learned? That I totally suck at it. However, I am still glad that I decided to take a leap of faith and attempted to become a software dev, because if I didn't, I would still be cursing under my breath at my previous logistics job muttering over and over "how I wish I would've..." The journey hasn't been sunshine and rainbows, as I've hit many dead ends and rough patches along the way. However, I have come closer to meeting and speaking with people in respective fields that I only dreamed of as a child. Putting yourself out there has been incredibly scary and painful, but there have been many rewards that are not immmediately visible. Anyways, I will get off of my soap box and begin diving into a game that I hope to finish...eventually.


Enter Palletize. A logistic based game that focus on through-put and revenue. I wanted to make a simple mini game that encompased many aspects of supply chain, but while keeping it to a minimum. This game is meant to pass the time while you are waiting on your next flight, sitting in a patient waiting room, or even at your work desk when you know you should actually be working. I found that there are many games out there that definitely embody supply chain, but they are all very intricate. I want my game to be easy enough for a kid to understand and comprehend but also be addicting to adults, all while teaching basic ideals in supply chain production. Also in this new age of AI, I want implement features that opt to allow speach input for the player to control production through-put.

Scenes and Aesthetics: The goal is to have a retro feel, thus envionment and objects will be pixelated. Main game is set in a warehouse.
