Hello Mastodon! I'm a power engineer who is trying out solo game development and on the way to release Power Network Tycoon - a game where you build and manage your own electrical grid with real physics simulation.If you've ever wondered how power systems actually work (or why they fail), this might be your jam. I built it to be technically accurate while still being fun. To say it's been a challenge is an understatement...#GameDev #IndieGame #Simulation #Gaming #Energy

@Tom_ofB Thank you! I have looked at GOG. From memory they have a fairly high bar for the games they sell, so in the early days when my game was unpolished, I didn't bother. It's probably worth revisiting. I like GOG as a company.

@susankayequinn @oinak Oh that is interesting. I love the term solarpunk and I'm embarrassed to say I hadn't heard of it before, but I see there is a bit online for it. You can play the demo free at the below link (early access essentially means a near final draft). The game probably has a slightly lean toward environmentalism but focused on realism (eg there are challenges). Happy to discuss further!https://davidmadethis.itch.io/power-network-tycoon-demo
