    Hi,

    I am working on a business simulator game. ofcourse I can test out different scenarios of sources and drains within the game itself and run it but this would take long. Is there any quick economy prototyping software?

    i think unity + simple UI is just enough for that purpose.

    Check out Joris Dormans' Machinations. It's kind of like a state machine builder with counters, which is perfect for modeling economies, and if I recall correctly you can run them live to see how they work out.
