This game was *surprisingly* boring given the screenshot. The mspaint art style looked charming and the idea of building a supply chain with trucks is interesting but then it's like an idle game that scales really fast.\n\nI think it's missing more intricate traffic simulation or more different resources or some kind of resource gathering interactivity.\n\nStill fun for a minute, but the design doesn't gel quite yet.","likes":0,"format":"md"}],"format":"md","images":["ld42\/115093-dd39883fe466f4adb2954ba28766ff27.png"],"links":[{"url":"https:\/\/fasterthanlime.itch.io\/capitalism-simulator","text":"Windows"},{"url":"https:\/\/fasterthanlime.itch.io\/capitalism-simulator","text":"macOS"},{"url":"https:\/\/fasterthanlime.itch.io\/capitalism-simulator","text":"Linux"},{"url":"https:\/\/github.com\/fasterthanlime\/ld42","text":"Source code"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"53802","g_author":"1024155","g_event":"LD42","g_eventkey":"73","g_subevent":"JAM","g_urlkey":"249952","g_title":"Capitalism Simulator","g_status":"USEAR3","g_place":"99999","g_commentcount":"2","g_site2_node_id":"115093","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":{"n_key":"115093","n_urlkey":"249952","n_parent":"97793","n_path":"\/events\/ludum-dare\/42\/capitalism-simulator","n_slug":"capitalism-simulator","n_type":"item","n_subtype":"game","n_subsubtype":"jam","n_author":"24155","n_created":"1534201953","n_modified":"1534202146","n_version":"335245","n_status":"COMMIT"},"node":{"id":115093,"parent":97793,"superparent":9,"author":24155,"type":"item","subtype":"game","subsubtype":"jam","published":"2018-08-13T23:14:55Z","created":"2018-08-13T23:12:33Z","modified":"2018-08-13T23:15:46Z","version":335245,"slug":"capitalism-simulator","name":"Capitalism Simulator","body":"Have you ever wanted to play a very bad demake of\u00a0[Simutrans](https:\/\/www.simutrans.com\/en\/)\u00a0?
