Version:1.1Size:
StockPro is a game about buying and selling stocks to make your money grow. It was influenced by an old Petit Computer game Mariominer created with the same name.

Instructions:

For menus, use the D-pad. In Manage Stocks, you use R and L to scroll through stocks. You click B to cancel a purchase or sale, and you can exit menus with X. You can skip the News by holding A. Other than that, it's pretty simple. You start out with 20 dollars. Use it wisely.

Notes:

Please inform me of any bugs or if you would like to be in the next release.

Version 1.0 (initial release):

Includes a chart, news, stocks, stock splitting, and goes by month. Charts are 6 months. No more, no less (unless you're less than 6 months into the game) Stocks will split if their value is over 9000. You cannot own more stocks than are available. Random music plays each month. Saving and loading are in the game, as well as a save file, but are not currently useable in the menu

Version 1.1

Added Achievements, which are gained with smart stock manipulation and quick money-grabbing. Added Saving and Loading. Fixed issues with charts Charts now tell you their scale. Now companies will go bankrupt. Once all companies go bankrupt, new random companies will be created Now menus have more constant controls and looks Put in another company (sorry 12Me21) Buying and Selling stocks will tell you how much money you have and how much money you'll end with. Probably some other small fixes

How much time does it take for a month/week/day to go by?

A month can last forever if you want it to. It's controlled by a "next month" button, so it's not time based.

Theres a next month option, this game seems to be about managing stocks over months. just download and play for yourself! c:

"you can exit most menus with X (B if X is not it)" This does not seem like the best choice...

I know... I'm going to make an update comparatively soon for things.

So I was playing for a bit today and noticed some problems. I'm not sure if its a bug or the game can't run infinitely, but firstly if a stock hits $0, you can still buy them. Then the game seemed to get stuck in a loop of having the stocks keep going down, but I think they weren't changing at all, even after skipping 20+ months. If a stock hits zero, you could make an event where the company has gone bankrupt, and you lose all your stocks in said company.

Pretty good. Just one thing, mind adding our current capital when were buying/selling stocks?

*doh! That may be important! Yeah, I'll put that in.

Yeah, I was thinking about having that, but I forgot, so yeah. Will keep In mind. With the stocks going down, were they at zero? I've not seen that happen before.
Krondelo#16
No, the news said every day that stocks kept getting lower, but most of them were actually staying the same from what I could tell. No change, just one at the bottom reached zero.

Hmm, I'll have to look into that. The code SHOULD be making them go down. Odd.

Man, this game is really addicting! I just wish there was a way to save (I don't want to close the program!), and an actual goal to the game. Like, if you had 60 months, and you had to try and make as much money as possible in that time period, or had to make $10,000 in as few months as you can. The GUI is also pretty inconsistent in presentation and controls, but I assume you're working on that. Also, are the graphs working properly, or do I just not understand how to read them? They seem to fluctuate very inconsistently month-to-month. Listing the values on each graph would really help keep track of scale and how much the graph's represent.

Yeah, I'm trying to figure out what the heck is wrong with the graphs. It's like their backwards, but they're not. And sometimes, they cut off incorrectly. It doesn't make any sense. The GUI is definitely getting an update, especially on the Buy/Sell screen (seriously, Mariominer, just text characters? Not even sprite characters?). And the next one will also have certain "achievements" to work towards. Making 10,000 in 5 years or so might be a good one.

I like this game. A company had its stock price get negative. Then I kept buying them.
