Clonester

Clonester is designed to teach project management skills and principles to team leaders and production managers. How? Why, by placing them in charge of a zany cloning factory, of course! A $40,000 order for two hundred battle-cats in ten days has just been placed by a cackling villain bent on world domination... an extremely valuable client! Hire and fire employees, manage time and resource allocation, optimize production pipelines, oversee output quality, tweak employee satisfaction/productivity, and so on. In short, maximize production efficiency in order to satisfy budgets/deadlines and operate the most profitable cloning factory ever!

Clonester combines a simplified industrial production model (goo mixer > DNA synthesizer > mold operator > AI programmer, etc) with a whimsical game narrative and environment in order to demonstrate effective macro and micro level management of production resources.
