Garbage Friends
Hey!
You just move up to your new home. But look at your room... it's kind of boring and empty.
It's time for a reform!
Wait... What? You said you are broke as fuck?
Don't worry, just take the furniture from the GARBAGE.
(You can even steal a plant from the bank office)

Game made for the Anti-Capitalist Jam #1.
We thougt about how to aproach the anti-capitalist theme without going for the obvious idea of you fighting a rich dude. We didn't want to talk about money, about power or even about an idyllic utopia. So we came to a more day-to-day idea, at least our day to day life.
Half because we can't afford new furniture half influenced by our ideology, we normally to decorate our houses/rooms with stuff we find on the street. More accurately, on garbage. People throw away things they don't need and we give them a second life. There is even a cool Instagram account on our city, ruled by a known, that uploads stories with furniture people finds and the street direction. So you can go and pick them. (Big ups to @tuamigalabasura !!!)
It's not a revolutionary idea, but it's a little piece of our life and another way of bringing anti-capitalism to your life.

Buenas gente, ¡¡me ha encantado vuestro jueguito!! El dÃa 11/07 monto un ciclo de charlas sobre videojuego y anticapitalismo en Barcelona y me molarÃa exponer el juego para que la gente lo pruebe después de las charlas. ¿Qué os parece?
Claro, nos encanta la idea! Creo que mi compi Chimuela te ha respondido mas en profundidad por instagram <3
Sà ^^ Ya me ha respondido, perdón por escribiros también por aquà pero paniqueé un poco jsjsjsjsjs <3

Te amo <3 <3
Lovely game! I left it with the music on while I was working on stuff and checking every now and then to see what new furniture I had just pulled
very fun!!
Wow such a beautiful room! We planned to make a screenshot feature within the game, but we run out of time. It’s endearing to see you sharing your room here :)
This game is so pretty - I love the colour palette! I, too, tend to look for thrown-out things to decorate my house with and never thought I’d see that as a game concept. Nicely done!
Yeah, wanted to make a cozzi decoration game and we made it the only way we know jajaja Thanks for your lovely words <3
i really love how the game it looks
Thanks <3
Interesting setting. I don't feel like waiting for ages though.
Thanks! The game was designed to be played from time to time, for example while you are working you could leave the game playing on the background, or you could also enter on the game one or two times in a day to look for the new furniture. As I can see we didn’t explain that in the best possible way, but we are planning to make a little update where I hope we make it more clear then :)
I love the idea and the palette! Also the sound design is lovely, I got have some record in visiting the dumpster as a fisher and a dumper too, nice game!
Thanks for your lovely comment! That’s the idea, take what you need leave for other what you don’t ;)
