Beer Factory
2019–2021
Beer Factory is an online, single-player strategy and resource-management game developed at Delta Force, NIT Trichy, for Pragyan, the institute’s techno-managerial festival. It was played by more than 1,100 people across eight countries.
Each player runs a beer factory in a shared 3D world alongside a computer-controlled competitor. Its turn-based simulation connects production, maintenance, transportation, warehousing, retail, and changing demand through a shared game model. Each decision updates the factory’s finances and popularity, with a leaderboard tracking performance across players.
The factory is presented as an interactive 3D world with an interface that adapts across screen sizes. Background processing handles longer-running game operations without interrupting play.
The computer-controlled competitor responds to the state of the factory and market rather than following a fixed set of rules. It uses A3C and Deep Q-Learning to adapt its decisions, making each round less predictable.
