It looks like a tycoon game. It plays like survival. You're a beggar with nothing, building a business where every decision costs you. Run it well, it grows. Run it carelessly, it falls apart. First system in progress. More soon. #GameDev #IndieDev

Connecting everything feels fast at first. Until one small change affects multiple parts. Lately I’ve been keeping systems more separated. Slower early on, but much easier to manage later. How do you approach this? #gamedev #indiedev

Big step for Chips Tycoon. Moved from a single test scene to Lender → Market Core systems now persist (economy, inventory, storage). Still using cubes, focusing on systems first. Next Customers place orders, player cooks and serves. #gamedev #indiedev #unity

Working on a tycoon game in Unity. What looked simple at first turned into a deeper challenge around storage, capacity, and validation. Now moving towards gameplay. #ScreenshotSaturday #gamedev

A simple “buy ingredients and cook fries” idea became a system design challenge. Storage, capacity, validation, separation. Small mistakes can break everything. Still early, but the foundation is coming together. How do you approach system design? #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev

AI tools are powerful. They help us learn faster, solve problems, and explore ideas. But there’s a risk. The danger isn’t AI replacing humans but humans stopping thinking. Use AI to learn, not to outsource your thinking. #AI #ArtificialIntelligence #CriticalThinking #Technology

Dev update: Chips Tycoon Containerbased storage added: gas cylinders, oil barrels, and ingredient containers now set storage limits. As game is built from scratch, it requires refactoring to keep the architecture clean. #gamedev #indiedev #unity3d #tycoongame #simulationgame #devlog #indiegame

The other side of #GhostbusterTrap, as far as this device is concerned, it is just a #learningmaya practice and does not have a real utility, except showing it off in a video. Hats off to #LucasRidley for such an amazing #tutorial #indie #indiegames #indiegamedev #gamedev
