Ask HN: Can we immortalize your startup in our Ultracapitalism game?

2•ChromaGolem•56m ago
Hello, HN!

We've been hard at work building a company-building autobattler that's strategically deep but also doesn't take itself too seriously.

Ultracapitalism has you choose a founder and draft assets to fill out your company quarter by quarter: interns, robots, schemes, AI, private planes, and more. Asynchronous multiplayer pits your company against other real companies at the end of each fiscal year, and the goal is to dominate the market.

In addition to multiplayer, we also have PvE rivals that everyone battles against periodically, and we'd love to add a stylized version of YOUR startup/company as one of those rivals.

WHAT WE NEED FROM YOU:

- Company name

- Around 5-10 assets that define your company identity

- General CEO personality (optional; we'll design a CEO image for each company with any info we have here)

You can also use the game's Build Designer if you prefer, which gives a UI for building a company board of assets, but text here is just fine!

Web-based build designer: https://ultracapitalism.io/build-designer

WHAT IS AN ASSET?

We've got ~450 assets to choose from in the game already (you can browse them all at https://ultracapitalism.io/assets) but honestly we're still adding a ton more (shooting for ~1000 before the full game launch) so you could also come up with your own here that we'll probably add (or at least map to something equivalent).

You can also see/play the game yourself here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/5176610/Ultracapitalism/
