Grow Empire is a complete, playable cultivation-tycoon game I designed end to end: 34 strains, 114 missions, and a genetics system that is the heart of the game — breeding across F1–F5 generations, backcrosses and selfed lines, phenotype hunting, a Keeper Vault for elite plants, and a mother room with cloning.
Around that core: a 10-stage grow room, 9 facility tiers, a dynamic market, buyers and contracts, territories, rival AI growers, ranks, achievements, and a prestige layer. The design law, printed in the game, is: IT'S NEVER ABOUT THE MONEY — ONLY THE GENETICS. Retention is built from curiosity, mastery, and collection — no energy timers, no pay-to-win, no dark patterns.
Status: the web edition is complete and an Android release candidate has been built and tested; final launch waits on my own hardware sign-off, because I do not ship what I have not played.
What it demonstrates: game systems design, economy and progression balancing, UI design, and long-form product discipline.
Hire me for: game branding, game UI, and interactive product design — see my services.
