Start of an idea

So yesterday I was just casually laying in bed thinking of what to code next, where I had an idea.
So the list I made on what it should have was a bit like the one below:

  • A game about life where there’s a town and in the town are houses, shops and colleges
  • You can study for degrees
  • You can do jobs (part-time or full-time), some require degrees and some don’t
  • You can start your own business
  • You can turn houses into shops
  • You can put houses on rent so other players can live in them

But the problem was I always start making projects like these but never end up actually finishing it up because of my commitment issues.
So I decided to make a blog series where I log whatever I do when working on the game, hoping I’ll be more committed to the making the game.

Name

Then I laid down and thought about a name. I know the name isn’t the first thing your supposed to think about, but I did anyways.
I wanted the name to have something related to money and life and wanted it to sound cool. So I combined money and life to make mife, but Ys are usually cooler than Is, so I changed it to Myfe!

How to make it

I always use Python for games, so I’m going to use Python for this as well. As I use MongoDB as a database for most things, I’m also going to use MongoDB as a database in this project as well.

Yay

So this marked the starting of a glorious game!

This is a really cool idea! I suggest, if you have time, entering this into the Replit Hackathon!

If you do that, wait until the 23rd to start!

Neither do I. I hope you don't need it... but I could create a Twitter account just for this.

It does say that you have to make a promotional video about it and that you have to post it on Twitter, IG or Tiktok

Oh well. I'll just create an account for it. If you want to team up, we could do it together? I don't really have a plan yet.

Oh, unlucky. I guess I need to start thinking then. Good luck with your project when you make it!
