Start of an idea

So yesterday I was just casually laying in bed thinking of what to code next, where I had an idea.
So the list I made on what it should have was a bit like the one below:

A game about life where there’s a town and in the town are houses, shops and colleges
You can study for degrees
You can do jobs (part-time or full-time), some require degrees and some don’t
You can start your own business
You can turn houses into shops
You can put houses on rent so other players can live in them

But the problem was I always start making projects like these but never end up actually finishing it up because of my commitment issues.
So I decided to make a blog series where I log whatever I do when working on the game, hoping I’ll be more committed to the making the game.

Name

Then I laid down and thought about a name. I know the name isn’t the first thing your supposed to think about, but I did anyways.
I wanted the name to have something related to money and life and wanted it to sound cool. So I combined money and life to make mife, but Ys are usually cooler than Is, so I changed it to Myfe!

How to make it

I always use Python for games, so I’m going to use Python for this as well. As I use MongoDB as a database for most things, I’m also going to use MongoDB as a database in this project as well.
