PROJECT: SALES CAPADE!

Introduction

SalesCapade is a Simulation game for the RPGToolkit that plunges you into the role of an ambitious young salesperson where you must find people to sell and then sell the people you find. Mixing elements of simulation and RPG gaming, SalesCapade’s unique gameplay replaces “battles” with “sales scenarios”.

Background

SalesCapade is being designed with the RPGToolkit. RPGToolkit is an Open Source, independent game development engine. The RPGToolkit can be found at www.toolkitzone.com.

Description

Congratulations! You’ve just landed an awesome job as a junior salesperson for a major corporation! As a junior salesperson, you’ll be selling low-level widgets and earning meager wages…but if you hustle…you’ll sell your way to the top!

You’ll start each day in your office, which at first is just a mere cubicle, but in time, you may earn your very own executive suite. You’ll have a limited amount of time each day to discover new leads through various means: calling friends & family, meeting people in the lobby, following up with past clients, and setting up ad campaigns to get people to call you.

Your buyers will be picky. You’ll need to discover their needs and then convince them that your product is the best to fit those needs. You’ll need to adapt to each client by reading their motivation and their patience. If you don’t, you’ll blow the sale. Blow too many sales, and you’ll be fired!

If you work diligently, you’ll earn promotions, bonuses, and big bucks. Use your big bucks to buy items for your office or buy skills that will improve your sales. You’ll need to play office politics, too, if you hope to get to the top quickly. Your ultimate goal: Become CEO!
