Good day everyone!

I am glad to share my first development - the game Career of the President.

The game is localized into English and Russian.

Two months ago I started to master Game Maker Studio 2 and now the game is available on Google Play, and will also be released soon on Steam.

Life simulator in simple text mode. Free and no ads :)

The game is based on President, the game I used to play, when I was in high school, and then when I was a student.

I loved it so much that I have tried to preserve its unique atmosphere of a late 80's text-based game.

Each turn is one action, one month will pass in the game.

At the beginning of the turn, you see the current financial state, by choosing an action, you will receive the result at the end of the turn.

You need to choose the actions that will lead to victory by clicking on the game menu:

- participate in elections
- hire subordinates
- Buy or sell real estate property
- buy or sell an enterprise
- buy or sell shares
- take a loan or open a deposit in a bank
- you can just have fun with a chance to win

The game can be stopped at any time in order to resume it later from the moment the game was stopped.

To win you need to buy all the property and businesses, hire all the specialists, accumulate a million in your bank account and win presidential elections.


I would be very glad to hear your ratings and reviews. Since I plan to develop the game both in terms of plot and gameplay.

Thanx for sharing, creating!

Quite promising it seems, and compelling - for an economist, like me.
Oil Imperium memories awakened.

Some remarks to reach more internationalized or spoiled folks - if profit is a factor:

- currency unit ... $ ?
- nice muzak, but possibly can be muted, or will be changing over time.
- backgrounds, or little cutscenes
- charts, tendencies, statistics
- grey economic zone / virtuous mode options? :)

Keep us posted.

Fictional currency - eldor, symbol "ℓ".
I don't want to use real money names :)

- nice muzak, but possibly can be muted, or will be changing over time.
I have not added background music so that users can listen to their favorite music. It will not be possible to please everyone :) But, perhaps, in the future I will make it a separate option.

- backgrounds, or little cutscenes
Yes, I plan to add background graphics. At the moment, the appearance is approximately the same as I remember it since 1990 on the Soviet computer AGAT-7 :)

- charts, tendencies, statistics
I don’t know yet, maybe they will appear as the game develops.

- grey economic zone / virtuous mode options? :)
This topic needs to be thought about.


I also wanted to understand the game engine and just restore the once favorite game from memory. But this is just the beginning!

I am currently working on a new election system and new business gameplay.

Thanks for the suggestions!
