Hi,
I'm working a new project to make a Lemonade Stand game and an educational book on how to make such a game, covering planning, design and programming.
I'm looking for some beta testers / researchers to assist with this.
This is unpaid, but you will get your name in the book, and a paperback & ebook when done.

Project info is below:

Over two weeks, starting next week, I plan to make a Lemonade Stand style game in GameMaker Studio 2. I'll then be making this into an ebook so you too can learn how to make it and pick up some cool GML coding and interesting ideas.

I aim to put in 8 hours a day on this project, so 112 hours total.

I'll update my progress on my website.

Here is my initial daily outline for each day:

Initial Planning and Preparation

Beta testers to play existing games on a range of devices and report back with ideas and features that should be included.

  1. Play some existing Lemonade Stand style games on a range of devices to get some ideas (based on beta testers feedback).
  2. Make some initial sketches of what features and design I want to have.
  3. Source some graphics, either open-source / free, or get my artist to make some.
  4. Make some more detailed sketches, working out how it is played and what variables I need.
  5. Make some small mockups of various game features and check they work as planned.
  6. Tweak graphical resources, find suitable audio for game.
  7. Start the main project.
  8. Add features to main project.
  9. Check everything works as expected - correct any bugs.
  10. Add final graphics and audio.
  11. Send out for Beta Testing (you get the game at this point).
  12. Implement changes suggested from beta test.
  13. Create book.
  14. Publish book and game.

Initial Game Elements (will add more once I get beta tester ideas & enter the design phase):

  • Aim To Make $1,000,000
  • Data & Money Driven Game
  • Clock Cycle
  • Weather & Weather Forecast
  • Staff Employment & Training
  • Upgradeable Stand
  • Daily Sales & Cost Summary
  • Purchasing Of Ingredients
  • Improve Recipe
  • Warehouse For Stock
  • Marketing & Promotions
  • Multiple Sites To Place Your Stand
  • Unexpected Events - Bad Weather, Earth Quake
  • Bank Loans
  • +Extra Ideas From Research, Design, Beta Testing
