I've seen some interests in (simulation) video games here on HN so I thought I'd share a short version of our story. More than 6 years ago, me and my friend from university were playing around with an idea of making a game we always wanted to play.

I was just digging through some old projects to find a link for a potential new employer and stumbled upon this reminder of how much I enjoyed middle-management office politics.
