Build Your Empire
Start?with?a lemonade stand. End with a space corporation. Business Empire?is?an?idle?tycoon that?grows with?you?across?ten?tiers of progression, each?unlocking new mechanics?and challenges.
Your?businesses?need employees, inventory, and space?to?operate. Hire?workers to?boost?efficiency, but?watch?the?payroll. Stock?inventory?before?it?runs?out, or watch?your income?dry up. Rent commercial?properties?or?face?space?penalties?that?eat?into your?margins. Random events will test?your resilience: fires, theft, lawsuits, product?recalls, and employee drama?all chip?away at poorly-managed empires. Insurance?exists?for?a?reason.
Financial?Markets
At?Tier?2, the?stock market opens. Two?hundred companies?across?fifteen industries, each with procedurally generated names, tickers, and price?histories. Stocks?follow?realistic?patterns: moving?averages, trend reversals, volatility tied to market?cap. Industry?ETFs let?you bet on entire?sectors, and holding?shares?in?industries?where?you own?businesses?boosts your income.
At?Tier?4, options?trading unlocks. Call?and put contracts?with?Black-Scholes pricing, Greeks displayed for?every position. Delta, gamma, theta, vega, rho, implied volatility. Expiration dates, strike?prices, in-the-money indicators. The?option?chain?updates?live as stock?prices move.
A simulated Federal Reserve holds?bi-monthly?FOMC meetings, adjusting interest rates based on economic indicators. Rate?hikes hammer?real?estate and finance?stocks. Cuts?boost growth?sectors. Your?loan?rates?and savings?yields?fluctuate accordingly.
Banking?and Credit
Savings accounts?earn interest. Loans let?you leverage?your?net?worth to?accelerate expansion. Your?credit score builds?over?time based on payment?history and debt?ratios. Better?credit means?better rates.
Real?Estate
Lease storefronts to avoid space penalties, or at?Tier 5, buy?properties outright. Rent them?to other?tenants for?passive?income. Zoning codes determine?which?business?types?can operate where.
Multiplayer
Host?or?join lobbies where?all?players share?the same stock?market. Prices?update?identically for?everyone. Trade?against?each?other in real-time. Play blackjack together?in the?casino. Disconnect?and reconnect without?losing progress.
