We spoke to @davidmadethis.bsky.social about Power Network Tycoon, turning real electrical engineering into gameplay, balancing realism with fun, solo development, and the move to version 1.0 on 30 September. #PowerNetworkTycoon #IndieGame #GameDev

Keeping the lights on: Talking Power Network Tycoon with David Made This
Plenty of city builders let you drop down a power station, connect a few cables and consider the electricity problem solved. Power Network Tycoon is considerably less willing to let you get away with that. Created by Australian power engineer David McKenzie of David Made This, Power Network Tycoon takes the usually simplified business of keeping a virtual city powered and digs into what actually goes on behind the scenes.

I'm working with a company bringing educational games to schools and I thought its great to get kids interested in STEM. Unfortunately they only do web games so I stripped away the game to its core to run a demo entirely within browser! davidmadethis.itch.io/pnt-web-edit... #indiegames #gaming #STEM

I don't think many people know what harmonic filters actually do, but I'm adding them to my physics-based power grid simulation game anyway! Simple enough to teach the basics of power quality. V1.0 September 30th! store.steampowered.com/app/2429930/... #indiedev #indiegame #simulation #powergrid

Oh I should also say the sounds are a work in progress too, although I double-speeded the video which makes it sound worse.

Power Network Tycoon | Whislist on Steam @davidmadethis.bsky.social · 13/05/2025
Wow I hadn't heard of that project. It would have been a wild project to work on in the early days of nuclear research. It sounds like the kind of device that is used in games like Factorio as a personal nuclear power generator.

Power Network Tycoon | Whislist on Steam @davidmadethis.bsky.social · 13/05/2025
Hmm, it is intended to be pretty crude to give some simple controls for the player and simple visuals. By external cooling loop is this for condensing the steam as it feeds back into the heat exchanger? I'll have to think about how to integrate it if it s something the player should control.

Power Network Tycoon | Whislist on Steam @davidmadethis.bsky.social · 13/05/2025
I'm worried the simulation is too crude for serious feedback haha. But I tried to cover the basics for the average-joe playing the game and trying to balance the systems.
