I'm feeling very overwhelmed. I want to plan ahead and be better organised. I used to use Sked at my old work, but everything is super pricy for a small creator. 😭

We have a history of success in the Simulation / Management / Strategy genres, so games like this are always of interest, but ultimately are open to seeing games from other similar genres.
