Retrying since the crosspost got deleted:

hi!

I'd made a small prototype of an economy sim game where your goal is take orders and fulfill them (captivating right? :)) If you've played games like container and tokyo tsukiji market it is inspired by those games, although it deviates in someways.

I would really appreciate any feedback you're able to provide on the prototype found here: https://zedzag.itch.io/businessgame

Here are some things I want to know, I'd had a player tell me they found the game quite unintuitive, I've since made some changes to guide the player but the question remains:

1. Is it intuitive now?
2. Is it fun?
3. Have you played the two games I mentioned (Container/ Tokyo Tsukiji Market)?
4. Any other feedback you might have is appreciated.

For those that are new to this type of game:

You have a factory of one color, you can only make that color. You take orders of different amounts of each color. Since you can only make your own color you have to acquire the other colors via an auction against the other players. The goal is to get your orders fulfilled before the deadline whilst keeping storage costs low.

hi r/tycoon!

I know a huge subset of this sub is waiting for VentDev's Aeromogul to come out, but this game is for those who are looking for something a bit more minimalistic.

In Simple Airline Sim you simply buy airplanes (Small, Medium or Large capacity), then choose an origin and destination, then decide on your pricing strategy and assign planes. That's the core loop!

Where it gets interesting is that the market reacts - routes change in terms of how heavy the competition is. You thought you found a route thats making a lot of money? Guess what, the competition has also noticed and entered the market, your share of the demand drops!

I'm not very good with the video editing side of gamedev so still working on a trailer. Please wishlist the game if this sounds fun!

AI Disclosure: No AI was used in making the game. AI has been used to make the small capsule on steam (it was a pain in the butt though to get something presentable). If I had the budget I would have hired someone for this as well.
