Inspiration
Growing up, I have always loved playing tycoon games, from Game Dev Studio to Rollercoaster Tycoon 3 to Cities: Skylines. The current world circumstances are a perfect time for a Pharmaceutical Company Tycoon Game, something which is new to the tycoon game scene.
What it does
Allows the user to take ownership of a company granted $1 million in funding from the government to create a vaccine for COVID-19. Choose what type of vaccine you will develop, what ingredients you will include, and even research new types!
How I built it
I built Pharmaceutica in Unity Game Engine with the C# Programming Language.
Challenges I ran into
Art is not my strongest skill, and so doing the pixel-art/hybrid art for the game was the biggest challenge for me.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
Actually completing the first version of the game from start to finish.
What I learned
It is far easier to develop a game when you have a solid foundation for ideas and features you would like to implement.
What's next for Pharmaceutica
The hiring of scientists and other personnel, the upgrading of labs, and more research options and minigames.
