Welcome everyone to one of the first posts I shall make on here, and with time, one of many different types! I would like to introduce to you the current rough draft of my new game, currently untitled but known as the Fantasy Stock Trader! Now, with it being called a Stock Trader you, the reader, have many questions, and for now I'm happily able to oblige. First, as far as I shall reveal for now, it is immense.

So yeah… a fantasy stock market game. Sounds weird, right? But that’s kind of the point. You play as a minor noble or merchant (still deciding), dropped into a world with its own messy politics, lore, and economy. You’ve got a little starting gold — either from an inheritance or a loan — and your goal is to survive (and thrive) in this huge, unpredictable stock market full of mercenary companies, guilds, construction outfits, and more.

There’s over 50 companies across six major sectors, and each game represents a full year of investing, reacting to market shifts, and dealing with random events. No two runs are going to feel the same — it’s all driven by a big system I’ve been coding by hand, with randomness, logic, and lore all baked in.

This is mainly for players who like:

• Economic sims with a little strategy
• Worldbuilding and flavor-rich events
• Systems over action
• That feeling of barely scraping by… or striking it rich

   As you can read from the tagline, this game is specific for those who love economics, fantasy, lore driven events, and maybe just a touch of gambling. Here, from the code I have developed already, is some of my results. That will be all for now, but I hope you stick around for the ride! PS: Please don't mind me using AI for my cover art, cuss currently trying to learn pixel art while trying to juggle work and school, so thank you for your patience.
