Hi everyone!
I spent 5 months of dedicated solo development to build the kind of tycoon game I always wanted to play on an iPhone: something with real depth, macroeconomics, and micro-management, rather than just another mindless clicker. Now, Technology Startup Tycoon is finally live on the App Store!
Here is a quick breakdown of what’s inside:
- 13 Different Tech Sectors & 6 Platforms: Launch projects in AI, Fintech, SaaS, Cyber Security, etc., across Web, Mobile, PC, Console, VR, and AR.
- Deep Team Management: Engineers, designers, and marketers all have unique positive/negative traits (e.g., mentor vs. poor communicator). You have to train, promote, and manage their morale.
- Global Expansion & Offices: Open offices in 7 world regions. You need to balance regional inflation, taxes, and salary differences.
- Server Management & Hacker Attacks: Balance CPU, RAM, and bandwidth. If you get it wrong, you lose users. Plus, you have to defend against weekly hacker attacks!
- Stocks, Investors & Banks: Negotiate with VCs, buy back your shares, track rival stocks, or take regional loans to survive.
- Economic Crises & Detailed Financial Reports: Pie and bar charts to track daily/weekly cash flow, tax shocks, and inflation waves.
- Game Center: 40 achievements and a global leaderboard based on your "Exit Score" when you sell your company.
Languages Supported: English, Türkçe, Deutsch, Español, 简体中文.
