CoffeeBiz

TheSociopathSoftware | Early Access 2018

CoffeeBiz tycoon is a mix of entrepreneurship fun and complicated business simulation. Start your first coffee kiosk, brew, expand, hire, deal with competitors, build a well-known brand, risk, and do everything else needed to build prosperous and profitable business.

Detailed hand pixel-by-pixel drawn 2d isometric graphics combined with some 3d features like real-time lighting, shadows, particles, and others. I want to create the feeling of a real living city with all it crowds, rush and small details.

Developed by single person doing all the game design, coding, and artwork.
