Hey tycoon people.

I just wanted to drop this here if anyone keen to chat about it or other games too! I’m new to this group (didn’t know we had a tycoon group on Lemmy). But I’ll be sticking around for more than just this one.

I’ve been working on this a bit now and I’d like to share what I’ve been doing, but obviously I don’t want to spam the group here.

But yeah, always keen to hear feedback or suggestions.

    This looks awesome!

    I love the header visual! Very retro sci-fi. Gameplay is exactly my kind of thing.

    Feel free to also post in [email protected], this community covers all a genres not just spacesims.

        One other tip for higher engagement, edit the title to say something like:

        Manifest, an upcoming hard sci-fi, space logistics management and tycoon game, screenshots and gameplay description on Itch.io.

      Yeap I see no reason it shouldn’t be, I’m not a Linux user myself but when I get the demo sorted I can flick you a message and see if the demo works on your machine?

      I get it, it’s only code and some help writing prose. The art is paid for and done by a human and she did an awesome job.

      I’m a data architect in my day job so I’m not up for some heavy vibe coding thing, they’re tools I use.
