BCTech Summit 2017: Trailer Park Boys: Greasy Money is a gorgeously animated idle game based on the hit TV show
It's like easy money but not at all
If you love The Simpsons: Tapped Out and hit comedy show Trailer Park Boys, you're in luck. A mobile game adaptation is on its way soon, and combines the best of idol games and the show.
It's called Greasy Money, and sees the boys get sent to jail after publicly ridiculing Justin Trudeau so badly that Canada's stock falls dramatically, plunging the country into financial crisis.
Following release from jail, the boys end up having to pay a small fine - which turns out to be no mean feat given that the Canadian dollar is largely worthless now.
So they set up their own business - Sunnyvale trailer park - to earn enough money to pay the fine. You don't really have to do much though, as the boys are pretty lazy. Just earn money, upgrade your stores, leave the app to it, and earn more money.
There's an original story that's told episodically, and features a bunch of your favourite characters. Ricky, Julian, and Bubbles star, of course, alongside fan favourites Randy, Mr. Lahey, and JRoc.
Resetting the game - a common mechanic in idle games - is handled smartly here. Whenever you feel ready to reset your progress, you can call an end to the current season. At this point the story concludes, and the gang end up getting arrested again.
The cycle repeats over a whopping 20 seasons. So there's plenty here to keep you busy, but also an end in sight for those that actually like games to come to a conclusion.
Though those that don't can just wait for the next content update, which will extend the story and introduce new stuff.
And it's all beautifully animated - as you can expect from East Side Games. Trailer Park Boys: Greasy Money launches on iOS and Android for free on April 20th.
