Growsim

mjdispirito |

"Growsim" is a medical marijuana caretaker simulation game, putting you in the role of a licensed grower serving patients. "Growsim" is an open-ended experience, seeking to find a balance between hardcore simulation and intuitive gameplay. While profit is always nice, the core of the game is discovery and cultivation of plants. Random generation of "strains", coupled with cloning, allows a near infinite amount of variety; each strain has its own climate preferences, potential yield and potency ratings. Players can setup and maintain different grow rooms with different lighting and environmental settings. All of that doesn't come cheap, so selling product to patients and compassion centers is necessary to pay the bills. Multiple grow rooms, lights, HVAC systems, nutrients and other expenses need to be managed. Random events such as power outages and insect problems can occur. Note: "Growsim" has nothing to do with illegal drug use, drug abuse, or criminal activity.

Growsim is moving along toward a beta release. Check out growsim.blogspot.com for more information on the latest build.

One of the new features that seems promising but needs more testing to guarantee stability is a plant-sharing system. Any cloned plant can be exported from the game; exporting generates a text code than can be copied and pasted into notepad or right into the Growsim game. Pasting this plant code into the game and importing it will add a clone to your inventory. This allows plant-sharing between anyone with the game and even between a single player's own saved games.

All of the major features are complete. Prior to a beta release, I need to get some testers to run through the game, particularly the new features, to try and catch any game-breaking bugs. So far, the few that have cropped up were easy fixes.

Thanks for reading.
