Kaizen

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to finish the project on time. I only managed to complete the character's movements and the environment, but I plan to continue developing it.

The idea of the game can be summarized as follows:

Kaizen is a Japanese philosophy based on continuous improvement. The story follows a young man working as a yorozuya (a versatile freelancer), inspired by Gintama and No More Heroes. He takes on various missions, ranging from finding a lost dog to eliminating outlaws.

The player has a daily cycle from 5 a.m. to 10 p.m. to improve their life. They must first address their basic needs, such as eating to survive, and then progress by training, learning, trading, building relationships, and finding jobs or equipment to increase their stats and status. Time, energy, finances, and relationships must be carefully managed.

As progress is made, more prestigious and lucrative missions become accessible, requiring improved skills, better tools, and a higher social status. Starting with basic survival, the character gradually works their way up the social ladder, aspiring to achieve a prestigious status while finding balance in a challenging world.
