I've been playing with making an economy simulator. People in the economy get jobs, rent apartments, have free time, can start businesses, etc. Prices change based on supply and demand. Cool.
But it's not clear to me what the player should be doing because buildings are placed by the NPCs and then they make their own decisions according to self interest. What is the player doing except watching? Setting laws maybe, but it doesn't feel very fun to play yet.
