Business sim template
One product, one price, and a month where that price either funds the next product or does not. Game Dev Tycoon (Greenheart Games, 2012) is the project. Capitalism Lab (Enlight Software, 2012) is the market around it. Big Ambitions (Hovgaard Games, 2023) lets you walk into the shop, which is optional. If every price succeeds, you have a clicker. The AI tycoon game maker is the nearest page. It thinks in guests and plots. You are allowed to stay in the spreadsheet.

What makes a business sim
Business sim: you build and run a business and grow it.
The games that set the standard are Game Dev Tycoon (Greenheart Games, 2012), Big Ambitions (Hovgaard Games, 2023) and Capitalism Lab (Enlight Software, 2012).
What the template starts with
The business sim template starts with one shop, one product and one price to set. That is the smallest version of the loop that defines the genre: invest, sell, reinvest, expand.
What to change first
Price too high and too low. One should stall demand, the other should stall profit. A single "correct" price the UI highlights has finished the game for the player.
2D or 3D
The business sim template starts in 2D.
