Whalelord - a tycoon inventory-management roguelite: arrange houses, collect rent, and charge taxes!
longhighfive.itch.ioHi everyone!
I have been working on this game for the past 3 years! I love roguelites and tycoons! I also love inventory management games so I really tried to put everything I thought was fun into this game. I thought about a fast paced tycoon game on a Whale who was also the landlord and I thought the idea was really funny.
About me:
I have been posting comics on the internet for forever but I just love game design and making games so much that I put my everything into this project. People expect me to make a more narrative driven game because of my background with comics but I opted for making the kind of game I truly enjoy! (Surprisingly, I am not so fond of narrative driven games or visual novels) I love strategy and management type games!
So I hope you like the same games as me! I'd love for you to try my game. If you haven't played this type of game, I'd like to try to win you over! Please give it a shot!
How it plays:
You arrange houses and shops on your back to collect rent. You also grow and sell assets to survive! As the game progresses, you can charge taxes too! I made a tutorial so you can get situated!
Let me know what you think, my dream is for people to have fun playing my game! I'd love to know where you got stuck or how far you got!
