Publisher Ravenage Games and Developer Bureau Bravin have announced that minimalistic resource management sim Masterplan Tycoon will arrive March 9 on PC via Steam. The game will be discounted 10 percent at launch. Aspiring resource managers and real-time strategists can give it a try today via a free Steam demo. In Masterplan Tycoon, players will build interconnected production chains to deliver products to their intended destinations. Connect everything correctly to form a beautifully intricate logistics system worthy enough to hang in a museum.
Masterplan Tycoon will include more than 40 production chains, six missions, and two immense campaigns at launch. Never-before-seen features will also be introduced. A new gameplay mechanic called research will allow players to access new buildings/nodes and improve production chains and storage capacity. Additionally, a new area called the islands will allow players to transport resources by water.
Witness logistics management brought to life with Masterplan Tycoon’s release date announcement trailer:
Simple and consistent by design, Masterplan Tycoon was made with relaxation in mind. The nodes are buildings. The pins are contact points between them. The links are supply lines. Masterplan Tycoon’s minimalist visual style will allow players to focus on managing the flow of resources, with nothing else to distract them. Build a quarry next to a mountain, then build a storage facility and create a link between them. There’s plenty of room to expand production lines once players have managed the basics.
With a soothing soundtrack humming in the background, players will learn to transport resources like wood, coal, fish, iron, cement, and stone to factories for the production of steel beams, boilers, reinforced concrete, and other goods. The game will offer extraordinary depth to explore, as each resource presents a variety of challenges to solve. Players will also be able to uncover new missions within their minimaps and production chains.
Mistakes won’t be penalized. Blunders won’t lead to massive losses. The learning process will be easy, relaxed and immersive. Masterplan Tycoon will be intuitive from the get-go, but will gradually prepare players for increasingly complex challenges later on.
“Masterplan Tycoon was designed with trial and error in mind. Players are encouraged to take time to think, make mistakes, and try again,” says Anton Bravin, Founder of Bureau Bravin. “Presented with a simple-to-follow, minimalist art style, it’s a game made for people who love to explore their curiosities and learn a thing or two along the way. We can’t wait to share it with the world early next year.”
