Alien Fun-park Tycoon (name is a WIP)
Typical tycoon game loop meets the creative-chaos of Rick and Morty.
You build backrooms for storage, electrical generation, charging your worker robots, ordering stock such as tickets, drinks, food, prizes. Items that need to be placed in backrooms affect the rooms “beauty score” which affects how happy patrons are in that room.
“Bugs” can appear and break machines, or infest your worker robots making them do the opposite of their job. Stock robots destroy stock, trash bots throw trash everywhere, scrubber robots spray mop water, etc.
As you progress you can research upgrades and new items, and if your park rating goes up a star (5 stars total) you unlock the next alien species that will begin visiting your park. “Word of your park has reached the Gamma-7 Galaxy!”
This is a project where chaotic-creativity really runs supreme. Jump castles inside a furry alien creature that – if fed improperly will belch noxious fumes onto your guests. A vending machine with little sentient fruits sitting inside watching TV, chillin, with the slogan “The Chiller The Tastier.”
I want to be able to push this into a series of games that exist in the same chaotic alien world with different management themes. Aquarium, Zoo, Nursing home, Gladiator Arena, Nursing Home Gladiator Arena, Casino / Hotel, mall. If it feels right – it feels right and if it makes people laugh and have a good time – we done well.
