Welcome to the ultimate beverage business simulation. Sweet Tea Tycoon is a pure, classic management game where your strategic choices determine your success. Step into the shoes of an entrepreneur and manage every detail of your daily operations, from the weather-dependent recipe to the location you set up in.
Every successful business starts with a plan. Before you open your stand for the day, you must analyze the local news and weather forecast to make crucial decisions:
Manage Inventory: Balance your budget across five core supplies: tea bags, sugar, lemons, ice, and cups.
Perfect the Recipe: Adjust your sweetness, lemon ratio, and ice levels based on the day's temperature and customer reactions to maximize satisfaction.
Strategic Locations: Pick the best location to set up shop based on daily news events to capture the biggest crowds.
Set Your Price: Find the sweet spot between a premium product and an affordable thirst-quencher.
As the profits roll in, reinvest your hard-earned cash to transform your humble stand into a highly efficient operation.
Dynamic Visual Upgrades: Purchase upgrades that increase brewing speed, allow for bulk supply purchases, or let you make your own ice. Many of these upgrades physically appear on your stand, changing its look as you grow!
Hire Staff: Bring on a Brewer, Cashier, or Greeter to improve brewing times, increase serving speeds, and keep impatient customers happy. Watch your team appear on-screen to help manage the rush.
Expand Capacity: Invest in upgrades that increase your storage, boost customer patience, and drive up the premium they are willing to pay.
Whether you want a relaxing management experience or a tight, strategic race against the clock, there is a mode for you. During the day, you can watch your business run at slow or fast speeds, or skip straight to the end of the day to review your results and profit/loss chart.
Career Mode: Build a lasting legacy in an endless, open-ended business simulation.
Challenge Mode: Test your entrepreneurial skills and see how much profit you can generate in a strict 30 in-game day time limit.
Sweet Tea Tycoon is the debut title from Scarlet Carnation Games. Built from the ground up in GameMaker, the project features original pixel art character sprites, custom background music composed in LMMS, and a handcrafted interface designed entirely by a solo developer.
While the core game is a solo endeavor, bringing this simulation to life was supported by the talent and feedback of a wider community:
Audio & Typography: Featuring the "Pixel Code Medium" font by Qwerasd, alongside immersive audio sourced from creators (el_boss, Zott820, Sanedish, IENBA, and Ryding).
Playtesting: A massive thank you to the dedicated playtesters who helped balance the economy, test the mechanics, and find bugs: Alana Antón, BeaZe, Necriptos, ReasonerUK, Foquinha_Mag, MoldyTofu, James Rubery, Spudicus, and GiggaMouse.
