Economy35
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux
Economy35 is an idle game developed in Java, designed as a school project to implement an example of the producer-consumer thread model. In this game, the player takes on the role of a company leader, managing resources, employees, and upgrades to maximize profits and grow the business.
It was developed in Java without using any external libraries beyond those integrated into the language.
Game Description
The game features a strategic gameplay loop with the following elements:
- Dynamic inventory: Machines produce packages, which are transported by employees. Customers purchase packages, generating revenue.
- Revenue management: A portion of daily revenue is deducted as taxes. If you fail to meet the minimum threshold, the game ends.
- Upgrades: Invest in upgrades to increase product value, speed up production, expand inventory, hire more employees, and more.
- Day cycle: Time progresses, triggering specific events at the end of each day.
- Floor navigation: Players can move between different floors of the building using an elevator.

It looks nice, I'd like to have a volume setting. Played for it for a couple ingame days. The machines dont output very fast and adding more floors might be better than upgrading the machines.
