Indie developer S-Grade Games has announced Picker Magnate Simulator, a single-player life simulation game about building a resale empire from scratch. The game is currently in development for Windows and Linux (SteamOS), with a planned release in Q4 2026.
In Picker Magnate Simulator, players start with an empty market stall and a nose for a bargain. Buy junk in bulk, hunt for rare antiques, sort and repair items, and gradually transform a humble stand into a thriving thrift shop. The game combines shop management, crafting, RPG-style skill progression, and open-ended life sim elements into a single cohesive experience.
Key Features:
- Shop management - design your store layout, choose your stock mix, hire workers, and reinvest profits into expansion
- Item handling - buy lots or find unique pieces; sort by condition and material; repair gear yourself or outsource it
- Handmade crafting - craft items by hand and sell them at a premium
- RPG progression - level up strength, speed, and bargaining to carry more, negotiate better prices, and dominate the resale market
- Vehicle ownership - skip the heavy hauling by buying your own transport
- 30 supported languages - full interface and subtitle localization at launch
Picker Magnate Simulator is developed solo by Yuliy Oneshko (S-Grade Games), the developer behind Trailer Park Tycoon: Raccoon Ranch (6,000+ units sold) and Dog Brew (25,000+ units sold on Steam).
Platform: PC (Windows, Linux/SteamOS)
