Alnutmob Studios is an Indie Dev Duo currently working towards their first release with a "monastic management and trade simulation" game. Their current focus on making a complete game, from mechanics to polish, and their desire to respect the player experience is an approach that already draws your attention to their game, even though it's still in production.

In the game, players will oversee a community of monks who brew beer, manage production, and trade with nearby cities. The game focuses on balancing faith, labour, and profit — turning devotion into craftsmanship and survival.

The game is also special to the developers on a personal level. They want to share the feelings of awe and inspiration from real world monastic sites, and the quiet satisfaction and comfort that comes from simulating the daily life and growth of a monastery. This is helped along by the implementation of the mechanics and the visual level design, where a slower, more thoughtful approach to management can draw you into a world where care and consideration leads to success.
About the Developers
Team Experience: 2+ years
The team at Alnutmob Studios has been working towards their GameDev vision for a few years. Focussing on learning and experimenting with GameDev, they have taken a very considered approach, resulting in their current project which is being designed with the player in mind.
They decided to get started in GameDev because games combine everything they love - from art, design and storytelling, to the creation of systems and mechanics.
Regarding games, Alnutmob Studios believes:
As well as it being a childhood dream for them to be able to make games.

Alnutmob Studio's Hardest Lesson Learned
Alnutmob Studio's Best Tip
- "Respect your players. Don’t release something unfinished and promise to fix it later.
- Build something complete, even if it’s small. Passion shows through polish.
- Manage your time well, you don't need to add everything into the game, add quality and try to stick to the 80/20 rule. Keep things simple and,
- Most of all, have fun!"
