Fantasy Manager [v0.9.2.2] [Horologist]

Fantasy Manager is a management sim where you run multiple businesses in a fantasy setting, recruit colorful characters, and build your empire through charm, coin, and questionable decisions.
You start small—a run-down building, a handful of coins, and more ambition than sense. From there, you hire workers, each with their own skills, quirks, and baggage. Some will become your stars. Others will set things on fire (sometimes literally). You’ll upgrade your buildings, juggle resources, and deal with whatever chaos the day throws at you—random encounters, difficult choices, and consequences that sometimes stick around to haunt you.
But the real heart of the game is how easy it is to make it yours. Want to add your favorite character? Drop some images in a folder and edit a simple file. New items, buildings, events, storylines—it’s all open. No coding required for basic mods. The game was built to be a canvas.
And because my partner rightfully pointed out that eye candy shouldn’t be a one-way street, there’s content for all tastes—plus a full SFW mode if you just want to manage a fantasy business without the spice.

More than 15 years ago I played Whoremaster for quite a while. Not for its polish (it had none), but for the thrill of discovering new characters. Every folder someone shared was like opening a gacha pull—”Oh, someone made Aeris! And she has 200 images!” The game itself was almost secondary to the community creating content for it. Fantasy Manager is my love letter to that experience. I wanted to build something that captured the joy of modding, the surprise of new characters, the satisfaction of building something yours—but with a proper foundation underneath. I got a bit carried away and included a small questline, and ways to expand on it.
Also, I literally just wanted to play the game… but updated. I’m posting this, and I’m sharing it because I’ve been lurking in the Whoremaster & F95 community for long enough, but as happy as I would be with people playing it I honestly wanted to play it myself.
Just to manage expectations, this is not a WM clone, it’s hopefully a bit more in some senses, and a bit less in others. But to me, it scratches the same itch. If someone ever enjoys it, that will be great news, and if not… then I’ll gladly keep playing on my own.

I did not know how to code. I started with deepseek building most of the script, it got too big, I learned to write my own, I hooked cursor up, and I’ve done a bit of both coding, and letting Cursor do it. I know to some any and all AI is “slop” but to me this has been a full year of my hobby time to give everyone something for free that I’m openly sharing… so please enjoy it, or make the merciful choice of ignoring it.
I can draw, but I do not want to spend 400+ hours doing porn CGs. There is a part of my art in sketching, image ref, and a Lora with my art in it. However, as I said, the core of this is for people to make their own packs (or re-use the ones they have from WM, they mostly work, and there is an automated converter). Hopefully it can work as motivation to buy some images from other artists! (the original game did encourage me to do so).
I tried to use some free music instead of AI but every page I visited, strictly prohibited using the pieces in nsfw content… so I created the jingle with Suno. You can of course mute it, replace it…
And I did some translations too, but I hope that part doesn’t bother anyone.

The main quest is mostly done, the default men and women workers are useable for most instances. A bit of the text is place-holder-y but that was the case with our predecessor, and I’m on it! (If you want to collab, please send me a message). The WM community was pretty happy about it, although I only got a few responses. Most of all, it needs testing, and for now, me, and a few close ones are the only ones doing that. I think any QA would benefit the game. The devkit works as far as I’ve seen… I have been able to playmultiple successful “runs” of the game. Cheat items and testing objects are still in the build.
