About Architects of Wealth

Architects of Wealth is a mellow, story-driven tycoon simulator. You start with $5,000 and a single decision, and grow that into a generational empire — buying companies, hiring crews, riding a live stock market and reacting to breaking news. The further you go, the more of the world (and beyond) opens up: real estate, colonies, tournaments, even a Galactic Trade Federation.

Our philosophy

A tycoon game should reward thinking, not grinding. Architects of Wealth respects your time: you can play in five-minute bursts or sink into a long session. There are no energy meters, no forced ads, and no pay-to-win shortcuts.

Built by one person

The game is designed, written, and built by Zach Sutterfield. Every system — the market simulation, the quest branches, the art direction — is hand-tuned. Feedback shapes the roadmap; see the Changelog for what shipped recently.

Closed beta, fair by design

The closed beta is free to play, and in-app purchases are currently disabled. Optional purchases may be introduced in a later release, but core progression will not be locked behind pay-to-win shortcuts.
