After years of development Campsite Architect got a steam page
Campsite Architect is a not just another tycoon game, but it's one where you actually play as the owner: you can walk around and do the most urgent jobs, or you can leave the character be and he will just do the most important things (a bit like in the Sims or Rimworld). You start from your little campervan, but as the game progresses and have spare money you build your own luxury cottage with a private pool/sauna.
Because all guests and staff have background stories (similar to Rimworld) this creates a lot of interesting playthroughs.
The management part is very deep, staff, logistics, planning, marketing, ... it is supposed to be easy to grasp, but hard to master, with a lot of replay-ability.
Graphics are handdrawn by me (learning it while doing it, so after a few iterations it should become better).
I am doing closed playtest sessions at this point. Soon I might put a playtest video on youtube. And if all goes well a demo will be on steam somewhere in spring 2027.
About me: I am a software developer/team lead during the day, already for 25+ years, also actively developing Rimworld mods (Hospitality/Hospital).
