Overview

The local zoo has one week to pay their bills or risk being shuttered! Animals will be put to work around town to come up with the extra cash. Choose which animal gets which placement wisely, as their performance is linked to their earnings.

Controls

Left mouse click to interact with the world. Middle mouse click (updateable in settings) to pan. Full screen recommended.

Gameplay

Select animals from the bar at the bottom to view information about them and to assign them to open jobs. Locations with open jobs are indicated by an ad in the classifieds section of the newspaper and an exclamation point above them. When all job openings have been filled for the day, the player can continue to the next day. Animals are rated out of three stars, and they earn $10 for each star.

About

Wild Talent was developed in a week for Godot Wild Jam 89 with the theme Repurposed.

The background music I used came from Abstraction (https://tallbeard.itch.io/music-loop-bundle).

The sound effects I used came from Kenney and TheGreenEyedGhost.

The fonts I used are Old Newspaper Types by Manfred Klein and April by Gaelleing.

I used SilentWolf for leaderboard support.

All other assets were created by me for this game jam.

No generative AI was used in the creation of this game.
