Life of a Salesman is an adventure arcade game designed for the 2023 GMTK Game Jam. The player plays as a merchant in a fantasy RPG who, unbeknownst to the game's hero, is actually the shopkeeper at every shop in the entire game world. The player must race from town to town, collecting supplies along the way, to ensure the merchant arrives at the next shop before the hero does and has a full supply of potions to sell.
I worked as the narrative designer on this game. I was responsible for all the dialogue, the cutscenes, and the town design for the towns at the beginning and end of the game. The concept for the game's story was a collaborative effort with other teammates.
