A downloadable game for Windows

Silk Roads is a crude trading game made for the GDFG Game Jam in one month, at weekends.

It is recommended to play the short game option - try to make as much profit as you can before retiring. Goods prices depend on the local supply, so try to buy goods cheaply where they are plentiful, and sell them for a profit where they are scarce.

Setting inspired by a history book (The Silk Roads by Peter Frankopan).

This is my first game and was much more fun to learn than it is to play :)  it was originally going to be a text-based game only, but I added a bit more just for the learning. 

Built for Windows download - WebGL build was horrendous and I don't have time to work out how to improve that. 


Features that did not make it in time:

  • Ambush by bandits on the road / text-based combat
  • Quests given by city rulers
