Hey everyone!

I just wrapped up my submission for Peckonomics, created for the 2025 GameDev.tv Game Jam and what a wild ride it’s been!

Over the last few days, I poured my hearts into building this quirky, satirical strategy game where birds run a society on the brink. You’ll gather scraps, barter with rival flocks, and make leadership choices that shape the future of birdkind will you build a Utopia, lead with fear as a Dictator, or take the Pragmatist path to survival?

Peckonomics was created in just 10 days with a focus on branching missions, faction dialogue, and player driven outcomes. It’s a blend of strategy, resource management, and a little dark humor… all wrapped in feathers.

🚧 Known Bugs (We’re Working On It!)

As with any jam game, there are a few bugs and polish points we’re looking to clean up soon:

• 🧊 Game may freeze on win state (we're squashing this ASAP!)

• 📝 Minor text/UI errors

• 🎁 Occasional item spawn issues

If you run into anything else while playing, feel free to let me know. Your feedback really helps.

🔮 What's Next?

I'm incredibly proud of what I've made in such a short time but this is just the beginning for Peckonomics. After the jam ends, I'm considering:

• Expanding the dialogue and story paths even further

• Adding more factions, items, and leadership consequences

• Polishing the UI and art style

I believe Peckonomics has potential as a full indie title, and I'm excited to see where it can go with more time and community input.

Thanks for playing and supporting indie devs your interest and encouragement mean everything! 🧡
