I had this idea for years but never had the time (or the game-dev chops) to actually build it.

Inspired by Lemonade Tycoon, I always wanted to make my own Tycoon/Simulation game where the player purchases a Franchise and you may learn economics principles in a simple way (offer, demand, expenses, profit, Taxes, etc).

After a few weeks of development and the help of AI to lay the foundations — the 3D engine setup, state management, the day-loop logic — I was able to make Mike Chichero, a Street Drink Stand Simulator.

I know, you will ask, WTH is a Chichero? I am from Venezuela and Chicha es a famous drink there (like a rice-based shake) sold by small street stand vendors (called Chicheros). You can read more about it into the game.

Did I forgot to mention that the game is 100% Free? I am not planning to monetize it and it is more as personal desire to teach about economics and promote this delicious drink.

I also appreciate your pray for Venezuela after the devastating Earthquake that affected many friends there (I left the country almost 20 years ago, but my heart is still there).

Disclosure: I mentioned, but to clarify: I used AI to lay the game foundation including 3d Engine setup, day-loop logic, some collision help and the NPC messages DB generation.

Ps. Forgive me if you find a spanish word around, I did my best to translate the game but may be (may be) I passed one.
