There is now a free prologue-style preview for Minimalist Resource Management SIM Master Plan Tycoon, just released this week in the form of Master Plan Tycoon:Basics. The demo takes you through the early stages of building your empire of flowing things, letting you plop down camps, quarries, farms and factories.

The basic concept of Master Plan Tycoon is that it is a blueprint or overview of a resource management game, more than a dedicated, detailed resource transport and logistics celebration It really appears in the way it is laid out: tear and rebuild chunks of your network with a clock that doesn't ticking down [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] 3]

It is best explained by how you connect your little box-shaped buildings: you pin between the in and out nodes on both sides of them when it's done, voila, resources start flowing, and you're good to go.

A short demo will guide you through the process of setting up a production chain for early resources such as planks, bread, beer, clothes and bricks. It's a sound intro to the good and bad points about the full game. It's simple and easy, but it's also got resources backed up somewhere in its large flowcharts or something not getting the necessary maintenance

In any case, free demos for otherwise niche games are always good— if you like it risk-free or not. You may discover fun genres that you didn't know before.

You can find the Master Plan Tycoon: Steam basics along with the Master Plan Tycoon suitable.
