About Sweet Tea Tycoon

Welcome to the ultimate beverage business simulation. Sweet Tea Tycoon is a pure, classic management game where your strategic choices determine your success. Step into the shoes of an entrepreneur and manage every detail of your daily operations, from the weather-dependent recipe to the location you set up in.

Master the Day-to-Day

Every successful business starts with a plan. Before you open your stand for the day, you must analyze the local news and weather forecast to make crucial decisions:
  • Manage Inventory: Balance your budget across five core supplies: tea bags, sugar, lemons, ice, and cups.
  • Perfect the Recipe: Adjust your sweetness, lemon ratio, and ice levels based on the day's temperature and customer reactions to maximize satisfaction.
  • Strategic Locations: Pick the best location to set up shop based on daily news events to capture the biggest crowds.
  • Set Your Price: Find the sweet spot between a premium product and an affordable thirst-quencher.

Grow Your Empire

As the profits roll in, reinvest your hard-earned cash to transform your humble stand into a highly efficient operation.
  • Dynamic Visual Upgrades: Purchase upgrades that increase brewing speed, allow for bulk supply purchases, or let you make your own ice. Many of these upgrades physically appear on your stand, changing its look as you grow!
  • Hire Staff: Bring on a Brewer, Cashier, or Greeter to improve brewing times, increase serving speeds, and keep impatient customers happy. Watch your team appear on-screen to help manage the rush.
  • Expand Capacity: Invest in upgrades that increase your storage, boost customer patience, and drive up the premium they are willing to pay.

Play Your Way

Whether you want a relaxing management experience or a tight, strategic race against the clock, there is a mode for you. During the day, you can watch your business run at slow or fast speeds, or skip straight to the end of the day to review your results and profit/loss chart.
  • Career Mode: Build a lasting legacy in an endless, open-ended business simulation.
  • Challenge Mode: Test your entrepreneurial skills and see how much profit you can generate in a strict 30 in-game day time limit.

A Labor of Love

Sweet Tea Tycoon is the debut title from Scarlet Carnation Games. Built from the ground up in GameMaker, the project features original pixel art character sprites, custom background music composed in LMMS, and a handcrafted interface designed entirely by a solo developer. (Note: Fonts and sound effects are appropriately attributed to their talented creators).

I like the game, good little time waster while talking with friends. Though the creator does like beating up bums too much I think.

Paid to play bc it seemed very interesting - I beat the whole game within 3 hours (with me stepping away and playing other games) so im not sure its really worth 4 bucks but if more places were added or DLC was added I would be interested in playing. Overall - i do recommend this to others who like easier tycoon games that dont take forever to max everything. It ran smoothly though and was easy enough to catch on. Tutorial was very easy to follow as well. ETA: Just read an update for some future updates to the game and I definitely think the future updates will improve the overall experience as well!

A very fun time killer at a very reasonable price for what you get c:. Reminds me heavily of old newground era tycoon games, with just the right amount of modern charm & performance to make it easy to sink a couple of hours into.

A cute little game that scratched an itch for me. I played for two hours and beat it. It was worth the three bucks, but I wouldn't pay any more than that. I wish it was more challenging.

UPDATE: dev has abandoned game. It is a nice idea but required a bit of work which dev clearly didn’t want to do. ————————— It's a good start to reliving the old simple days of Lemonade Tycoon but there are some parts that definitely need reworking. 1) Advertising and staff are completely unnecessary. I did not use either of those and still got a healthy business in the most expensive area. 2) The purchasing limits are very fiddly and if you are not careful you can lose money. Hypothetically if I have 99/100 units, I can still buy a full priced stack of raw materials that will give me 25 units but I only get 1. The constant looking at the numbers was not a fun part of the experience 3) At their highest, the storage numbers are still quite low 4) You can only operate one stand at a time. I would be keen to see operating multiple stands, needing to hire staff and weather affecting demand differently for the various locations. 5) For the life of me I can't detect a true repeatable pattern to temperature/weather conditions and demand, it makes no sense 6) The number of upgrades is very low, they can be achieved relatively early and quickly which leaves nothing to aspire to 7) Th…

Most games like Slay the Spire copy the cards and lose the map. These keep the risky-or-safe choice, from a three-floor train to a deck made of poker hands.

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
