From Zero to the Top
A realistic life simulation starting in debt and building a fortune
Duration10 months
Team9 people
Project overview
A life simulation with a deep economy model where the player starts in debt and climbs to the top through careers, investments and relationships.
Challenge
A realistic economy model had to be built without making the game dull. Careers, real estate, commodities and relationship systems all had to meet in one loop that feeds itself.
Our approach
We balanced the economy with Monte Carlo simulations, tying inflation, interest and income curves to player progression. Energy, happiness, health and motivation meters were positioned as the cost of decisions, giving every choice weight.
