Hobby sim template
One object and one task whose pleasure is finishing it properly. PowerWash Simulator (FuturLab, 2022) is dirt that leaves. Unpacking (Witch Beam, 2021) is a box and a shelf that fits. A boss fight stapled to the end means you did not trust the task. There is no hobby-sim maker page. Do not borrow the tycoon page. It wants customers. You want the last dirty tile.

What makes a hobby sim
Hobby sim: a relaxed simulation of a pastime you enjoy.
The games that set the standard are PowerWash Simulator (FuturLab, 2022), Unpacking (Witch Beam, 2021) and Jigsaw Puzzle Dreams (Kyodai, 2020).
What the template starts with
The hobby sim template starts with one object and one satisfying task. That is the smallest version of the loop that defines the genre: pick a task, do it well, enjoy the result.
What to change first
Let the player see the before and the after on the same object. If the after is only a score, the task was not visible. Add a second object only after the first after-picture is satisfying.
2D or 3D
The hobby sim template starts in 3D.
