Power Network Tycoon - solo developer project by a power engineer (mastodon.social)

I just saw this post (with video) from @[email protected] on Mastodon, and figured it might be worth sharing. Looks pretty neat.

Hello Mastodon! I'm a power engineer who is trying out solo game development and on the way to release Power Network Tycoon - a game where you build and manage your own electrical grid with real physics simulation.

If you've ever wondered how power systems actually work (or why they fail), this might be your jam. I built it to be technically accurate while still being fun. To say it's been a challenge is an understatement...

Oh my, technically accurate while being fun… I'm about to get an education in power systems if I play this, aren't I? I am a huge sucker for that kind of thing.

Also, thanks for posting! Nice to see people other than the mod posting—they do a lot of lifting and it is nice to see other people posting too.
