Inspiration
Do you work in an office? or maybe are you a developer? or a journalist?
if you work with your pc 8 or more hours per day in front of a computer this is the game for you!
Sometimes I'm a little bored with my task at work and I need a little break to heal the mind: Olive Empire Simulator is the game that I dreamed of!
It's a little bit more elaborate than A Dark Rom or Candybox but the goal is the same: a sort of endless game where your main quest is to do money pruning, cleaning, and harvesting olive trees!
What it does
You start like a normal person that works with his hands in the olive tree fields, after some time you can hire some workers for you, buy a shop, make your oil and become rich!
How I built it and the Challenges I ran into
I built it with pygame from scratch, learn about it, write the idea, and develop it! a 2D game with some UI to manage the jobs that income.
I learn pygame for this hackathon and it was very funny to develop with it!
What I learned
Besides pygame I am also learned a bit better python and how to write a clean code.
I have also used some AI to help me, to try integrate them with my work. I used Copilot and Midjourney for some asset.
Controls
- Mouse for the managment
- WASD: Movement
- SPACE: Equip Tool
- B: Drop Tool
- V: Use Tool
What's next for Olive Empire Simulator
Right now it is in a pre-pre-pre-pre-alpha but the future is amazing:
- hire workers and assign them jobs
- upgrade your tools to become fast
- change if you want money or olive for payment
- buy your shop and fields to produce your oil
