Is anyone currently trying to create a simulation or game which emulates the economy according to this school?
So many games, so many terrible economic tropes. I posted [this article about a new simulation engine which might be capable of much larger real-time simulations with multiple users than ever before.](http://ift.tt/1KhtNZT) I believe there are a few board games which endeavor to support Austrian Econ, but it would be good to have more. Someone mentioned that [even if a simulation succeeded, people would disagree and say the models were wrong](http://ift.tt/1RpZ8kO). I think there is still value in exposing more people to the school... and having fun without having to conform to Sim City, Total War, Paradox, or Civilization's middle-path economics. Everything from simple games to AAA titles could be made much better by fully simulating a society around the player. Whether it be a building (Cities: Skylines) or company-running game (Roller-Coaster Tycoon, Locomotion), having a more real and less-scripted economic environment would be fantastic. Empire-managing and trade-based games would change dramatically, as well. The amount of finagling that other economic schools would require to work in a real-world simulation would be apparent in the creation of a game meant to simulate a thousand years. So, anyone know of any current projects?
