RigLife Tokyo
CPU mining idle sim — cramped Tokyo nights
Manage a real yescrypt CPU mining operation from a cramped apartment to an Akihabara closet to rented floor space. Balance hash rate, heat, breaker trips, and monthly electric bills while KOTO, Yenten, Tidecoin, and Bitzeny fluctuate on a stylized market ticker. Not a get-rich fantasy — a nerdy, cozy hustle sim grounded in the isekai-pool ecosystem.

Fan hum · rain on windows · city glow
Core loop
Hash · heat · power · profit
Select coin → deploy rigs → monitor temperature and wattage → earn pool payouts → reinvest. Hardware degrades; Tokyo summer triggers heat crises; wallet corruption and breaker trips are rare but dramatic — you've lived this.
Rooms are isometric dioramas with limited outlets, floor space, and heat caps. Progression: bedroom (2 slots) → home office (4) → Akihabara closet (8) → server floor (16, automation).
Why it exists
3D pipeline discipline
First Godot 3D project — Blender → Godot import, isometric camera rig, timer-based idle ticks, JSON save/load. Intentionally avoids pathfinding and multiplayer.
Est. 4–6 weeks · itch.io $3–5 → Steam $4.99. Establishes the low-poly isometric stack reused by Sakuga.
