Money Printer go BRRRR by Wabble
With the current outbreak of the rona the economy is plummeting and world leaders around the world are printing money. You are one of em.
Your goal is to keep the economy alive!
After 48 tiring and rewarding hours I managed to create something that i can say I am amazed how I did it in such short amount of time.
Heres some key features / mechanics of the game:
- A fully working shop, that can be easily used in other projects
- Tooltips, man did I learn about them, very useful to display dynamic information without being constantly on screen.
- In-game Level Editor - Ability to create, move and delete items on a 2D scene
- Items place on the scene influence each other, that can collide and have area effects. This must be refreshed everytime items are messe with.
- Transaction - I learned how to save data in the form of transactions, so that instead of having to calculate for example how much cached is being produced, that value is automatically updated with each transaction / scene refresh rathen than being done every frame.
Next Steps
- Animations - I actually created some very basic animations for the items, just didn't have the time to put them in.
- Dialogue - I will add more dialogue every now and then to make the game more engaging
- Sounds - Printer don't go Brr cuz there is no sound!! I will add them in the upcoming days
- Bug Fixing - I only realised that you can purchase all the upgrades for free after submitting the game 😅
Tools Used
- Unity
- Photoshop - for the amazing art
- Ilustrator - to trace some images online
- OBS - to record the whole process and make a timelapse later!
- Microsoft Visual Studio - code editor
Changelog
v0.01 - Fixed manual, hiding behind the UI

The graphics could use alot of work.
The UI could use work.
No need for the dialog at the beginning.
Alot of balancing issues.
ALl the upgrades are free? Makes it really easy too win.
### Thumbs up
Almost fun even tough I have played many games like it
How is it connected to the theme?
Some graphics where ok
It was clear on what to do
Thanks for having a web version.
Not that bad idle game in terms of mechanics, but the upgrades are completely free. The story is awful though, sorry. UI is pretty good, but scroll bars are so annoying if mouse scroll doesn't work :(
Standard gameplay (I forgot what genre this is, it's like a clicker but without clicking that much), not how I like spending my time, but ok.
UI is a little borked and the upgrades are free.
On the topic of accusations:
- I don't agree to @m2tias it is just transformative enough to pass.
- theme technically fits, keep the economy allive (@hagge)
- All the upgrades are free
- When you click on an other item, the sprite stay on the screen if you can't place the previous one.
- It's impossible to read the price of the lasts items
Anyway, it's a good start, you can make a cool idle game with that base.
