The game idea

The first game should always be a simple game with a little amount of game mechanics and a low level of complexity. Just like your first song on a guitar shouldn’t contain more than 2-3 chords.

But since my biggest passion about computer games are complex rpgs or grand strategy games, I just ignored the most important rule, starting with an impossible project.

I was always inspired by games like Baldurs Gate, the whole Paradox Games stuff or games like rimworld, where the story gets written within your head while you are playing a sandbox mode kind of game.

The idea

That being told, I also love history. So I decided to develop a game in the World War 2. WW2? Not again, one may think. But this time, the war is far away. You are playing as a mayor in a little german town. Your only goal is to get through the war somehow while taking care of your residents. Since it plays in WW2, the situation gets worse with time. So you have to make some really hard decisions along the way.
