Hi, thanks for reading.
I decided to make a pet project to learn
AngularJS, which is a nice JavaScript framework for making single page web applications.
I played a game called "Startup Company" and really liked their incremental system, but didn't like the rest.
So this project is essentially the same system, without all the fluff around it.
The concept is simple:
You hire workers that work on creating ingredients. Basic ingredients require only a worker and time.
You can make more advanced ingredients by combining basic ingredients. A GUI module takes a Front End component and a Visual component.
You then sell those ingredients via randomly generated contracts.
Later in the development I'm thinking about letting you create your own software out of components, and to simulate how well it does in the market.
Here's a screen shot:

- Production UI
- Recipes system
- Time system
- Production over time
- Tooltips
- Place holder icons
- Contract finding system
- Procedural contract generation
- Economy UI
- Loans
- Management / automation system
- Progression & unlocks
What I have left to do:
- QA system
- UX improvements
- Save & load progress
- Eye candy
If you'd like to help me with design, art, balancing, and testing - let me know! I'd love some help.
Edit: Here's a playable prototype:

I tweaked some UI things, and made a few small features (all live in the prototype).
I should do a tutorial later... Edit: Done that.
