Weedcraft Inc elevates a provocative premise into a layered, intelligent business simulation. What might have been a cheeky gimmick instead becomes a rigorous lens on markets, regulation, and culture; every harvest ties into taxes, public opinion, and legal risk. You’re not merely tending plants; you’re architecting an industry: breeding strains, optimizing facilities, segmenting markets, and negotiating with cops, politicians, and activists. The gameplay rewards careful observation, long‑term planning, and moral trade‑offs, turning patience and experimentation into strategic advantages and making each decision feel consequential. Core loop: grow, breed, sell At its core, the game is a meticulous simulation of cultivation and optimization. You begin with a cramped grow room and a handful of strains, then expand into multi‑room facilities where every variable; lighting schedules, humidity curves, nutrient mixes, ventilation, and trimming cadence, affects plant health and output. Strain...

Brave New Wonders is a bold, idea‑driven factory‑automation sim that hands you a fleet of text‑driven automatons and a ruined, island‑scattered world to rebuild. The beta I played revolves around one elegant conceit: natural‑language commands are the primary interface, type plain‑text instructions (or use guided presets) and watch autonomous units interpret, cooperate, and improvise. That single design choice reshapes every system: logistics become choreography instead of conveyor‑belt puzzles, combat and exploration reward clever scripting, and factories feel alive as your instructions ripple through networks of machines. The demo showcases the concept’s huge creative potential; emergent workflows, surprising interactions, and player‑invented solutions, but also exposes growing pains: ambiguous phrasing can produce brittle behaviours, large fleets of custom scripts need better debugging and visualization, and balance tweaks are still settling in. What follows is a focused look at the...
