Partial The idle tycoon mechanics are straightforward to vibe-code in a game engine, but the voiced story and polished art and audio assets need resources beyond code.
What it would actually take: The gameplay loop (resource gathering, buildings, hired workers, idle timers) is buildable in Godot or Unity with AI help. Quality production needs an artist, a sound designer, and voice actors to deliver the cozy presentation and narrative, which are the hard parts.
