People and production
Staffing, skill, equipment, schedules, fatigue and payroll shape what the company can make.

The world is
coming alive.
Inquory World is growing beyond a business dashboard into a company simulation with offices you can enter, people you must equip, production you must operate, and a city that gives those systems a place.
22specialist professions
143materials and inputs
118production recipes
3office types in the bound catalog
From interface to place
The spreadsheet is becoming a world.
The direction is a persistent corporate world where business simulation and an explorable environment gradually become one system. The current build already connects company operations to physical workspaces. The larger online economy is the next horizon.

Actual local build
A company has to operate.
The production system links professions, workstations, ingredients, output quality, time budgets and downstream use. Employees can be assigned work, become fatigued, receive payroll and wait when the right equipment is unavailable. Growth depends on capacity and specialist choices rather than a single money button.
The public database exposes the bound catalog while clearly marking it as an unreleased local build. Some recipes have unfinished downstream consumers; producing an asset does not automatically make it profitable or usable.
A living corporate city
Companies occupy space now.
Current development connects offices, lobbies, doors, lift routes, property records and city movement. Local relocation testing is focused on moving a company from its introductory room into larger space without resetting the company it has already built.
Environmental audio, directional cues, richer streets, higher-fidelity interiors and more convincing employee movement are being expanded. Physical lifts already participate in local routes; seamless destination loading, richer interiors, floor information and travel-time staging remain active design work.
Growth creates obligations.
Separate money, real pressure
Personal cash and company treasury are distinct. Rent, maintenance, salaries, loans, interest and penalties make expansion consequential.
Offices with capacity
Offices have ownership records, recurring costs, workstation limits and retained equipment rather than serving as cosmetic backgrounds.
Movement with meaning
Doors, buildings, lobbies, lifts and city routes are being tied to actual company access and ownership.
Companies persist
Local save, reload and ownership safeguards are tested separately from future hosted multiplayer infrastructure.
A readable simulation
The public database lets prospective players inspect real definitions without exposing private saves or control paths.

World portal and game database
The public site, guides, development journal and a read-only catalog from a bound local data edition are accessible now.
Operating company simulation
Employees, workstations, production, payroll, fatigue, offices, property costs, personal and company finance, city routes and durable local saves exist in the development build.
Physical progression and richer offices
Office relocation, retained equipment, expanded workspace rights, lift and door journeys, narrow-screen presentation and performance qualification are being tested and refined.
A more believable city
Denser environments, spatial audio, physical employee presence, destination streaming and more expressive interactions are active experiments, not finished promises.
Public access and the online economy
Hosted registration, community posting, public-company discovery, trading, acquisitions and deeper multiplayer competition require separate infrastructure and release qualification.
Go public
The intended milestone changes a private company into a participant in the wider economy. Its rules and public availability are still being designed.
What we are building next
The next layer is connection.
Near-term work is focused on stronger onboarding, more complete premium offices, richer employee and city behaviour, additional production chains, improved audio and visual fidelity, better performance qualification, and the infrastructure required for safe public testing.
Other companies may eventually become more than names in a directory. Going public is intended to change the rules of the game. Those ideas stay in the future tense until the game can support them honestly.
Try to break the economy.
When public testing opens, the useful question will not be whether every surface looks finished. It will be whether unusual strategies expose a world we did not anticipate: production bottlenecks, dangerous debt, staffing failures, runaway growth or surprising interactions between space and operations.

This is still the beginning.
The offices are getting larger. Production is getting deeper. The city is becoming more connected. If you want to see Inquory World before everything is predictable, follow the build now.
