It’s made by one guy. All the best games I have played over the last decade have been made by indie studios with a handful of devs at the most. These are the games you want to buy and the devs you want to support.
This game is so freakin fun! Been playing every night for the past week.
What kind of game is it?
It’s a drug empire simulator, you start off with practically nothing, and begin your career growing weed, over time you unlock dealers to help you distribute your product, botanists to manage the plants, new places to grow, you move on to harder drugs and more complex methods to increase the price of your products. As you progress, you unlock more parts of the town to distribute to, along with businesses to launder the money you make. It’s only 25 bucks canadian on steam, and a demo to try it out. It’s a bit buggy but a blast to play with friends.
I didnt notice at first but a friend pointed it out: it’s the same game loop as cookie clicker. This is just an idle/clicker game. You start manual dealing/clicking. And then you automate it. and it turns into a game of managing your automations rather than actually clicking yourself.
“I was expecting it to be a joke 20 minutes then throw away game, but holy crap, this is actually pretty deep and well thought out.” - Also my friend.
Cookie clicker didn’t have much in terms of managing the automations - just adding more and upgrading them.
Sure.you figure out which parts to scale when.
But point being that it quickly pivots into automating away tasks you were previously doing by hand.
Its more of a tycoon game which is kinda similar to clicker games but typically much more gameplay
Is this similar to drug wars won the TI-86 gaming platform?
Loved that game
A friend showed me ~30 seconds of gameplay and it reminds me of the flash game Stick RPG - looks like fun!
It runs flawlessly out of the box on proton so I expect the main challenges here are multiplayer and controls.
And peformance. It runs well on proton but just generally the performance is shit both on windows and linux. The recent update did improve on it tho.
Not for me. Performance is completely fine on desktop though maybe not in deck, I haven’t tried.
For me it worked fine and then it studded like crazy. Apparently it has a problem with all the garbage in the world
