I have most of them as the sale is to do with planes, trains, and cars but deep savings on some classics.

Which ones are you looking at?

Hi everyone! This is my first time posting on Reddit so I don't know what to expect, but hoping for some helpful comments.

About me: I am a researcher based in Sweden who is interested in the representation of entrepreneurs and managers in games. My research intersects game studies and organisation studies. I try to bring my background as an avid fan of games into the academic arena.

What you can help me with: I'm currently searching for Tycoon games where you more or less explicitly play as an entrepreneur or manager. However, in contrast to traditional tycoon games wherre you focus on accumulation of wealth, geographical/market expansion, and other types of economic progression--I am curious about games where players have to deal with other types of challenges and societal issues. For example, Planet Zoo (2019) have players deal with (and reflect on) animal welfare rather than exploiting animals without ethical reflection. Here, I am specifically looking for games where you have to deal with issues like employee well-being, environmental impacts/emissions, social entrepreneurship, or engage in philanthropic giving etc.
So, please suggest any titles that you believe could be interesting for me to take a closer look at!

Part of what triggers this interest of mine is a game that was produced with the support of the European Commission called Startup Quest Bakery (2024) which is a fairly unknown but surprisingly complex game where you as an owner of a bakery have to make choices about social and environmental sustainability.

Looking forward to your responses!

Like a carnival ride, or something else you build up somewhere, run for a while and move somewhere else. A bit more involved than a food truck (where you open the shutters and start selling), in the sense that you have to transport, build up, run, break down and transport again

Hi there,

We are Aniki Games, a small indie studio working on our first game which takes place in the Hollywood movie industry.

We are currently exploring different art styles for our future game and we would love to get your feedback to make sure that the art direction we implement matches with what our game is about and triggers the right player expectations.

If you could please fill this short google survey, that would be extremely helpful to us.

Cheers!

Just started fo playing this game and i realized there is a lot of content, i am a little lost

The game "The Movies" has quite the cult following, even if it's more on the obscure side. There are plenty of ways to get it ported into Windows 10, but after I switched to an AMD machine I have been getting all kinds of graphical glitches, crashes, etc, whereas in my old NVidia laptop it worked just fine.

Anyone got this thing running on an AMD machine?

Simple as the title asks: There is any Port Royale like games out there nowadays?

I had played from PR 2 to PR4 and while I am worried to get PR2 trough steam (the whole not beeing in spanish and might not work on Linux), PR3 is good but it crashes the whole time , PR4 is just boring and I have no real interest on turn based combat... give me that feeling of 1vs5 ships from PR5 , I wanna feel the thirll angaist England military convoys having the ships of the line as oponents.

Anyways I Am rambling, I had played X4 tough I need sort it out a bit with mods, it feels slow to start or that's maybe me.. also I played Patrician wich is directly a no go for me, I find it harder than PR...

Hey Guys,
i'm looking for a game that i enjoyed in the past.
Anyone knows how to get hands on this game?
Or is there any similar game like this one?
Thanks in advance...

Hi everyone, I am a researcher looking for recommendations on tycoon-type games to use in my studies.

A little bit of background: I study how members of groups and teams bring together their knowledge to perform at high levels. I have been thinking about the possibility of using a tycoon game to study this. Others in my field have tried this with varying success. For example, a few studies have used SimCity 4, training different members of the team different information and asking them to combine their knowledge. Theoretically, the teams that know who on the team who knows what and use each other's knowledge should perform the best. Something like SimCity could probably work, but I'm wondering if there are other options. I just recently came across Anno 1800 and it seems like it might work, but maybe you could help me decide based on the list below

What I'm looking for, ideally (some of these are more/less important):

• A game where people can play as a team
• A game where performance is on a scale (e g., resources earned, population)
• Need to be able to separate knowledge/roles (e.g., one person knows about X resources and another person knows about Y resources)
• Need to have four or five primary knowledge bases/roles
• Teammates need to be moderately interdependent such that each member's performance is somewhat dependent on their teammates' knowledge (e g., my ability to use resource X to its highest ability depends on me communicating with someone else about what they know)
• I would likely be doing this research in a laboratory setting with college students, so it needs to be something where I could train them on the basics in about half hour to an hour
• It doesn't necessarily need to have a timelimit

Any recommendations would be much appreciated!

Hello everyone! I hope you're all doing well. I'm excited to announce that I'm about to release CD Market, a game inspired mainly by the classic Chart Wars. I felt there was a gap in the mobile market for more serious tycoon games, as most available options were quite casual, with only a few unique exceptions. With CD Market, I aimed to create a game with deeper, more engaging content for players.

CD MARKET is a music label simulation game (for iOS and Android), it's mostly text-based focused on simulation. Set in the 90's (CD's golden era). You will be able to manage your artists, handle contracts, scout new artists, make tours, market releases, increase hype, participate in awards, sell as many records as possible, and much more.

The game is currently in the beta testing phase and is expected to be released in stores end of october, at the latest. If you'd like to join as a tester (limited spots), please join the Discord! If you prefer to wait for the official release, you can also join the Discord, and I'll make sure to ping you when it's ready.

There's a subreddit if you want to join also! https://www.reddit.com/r/cdmarketgame

You can see game shots in the discord and subreddit :)

Thank you for your time! Have a great day.

Hey all, I've been thinking about making a restaurant tycoon game for a really long time and I've started working on it over the last few months.

I have a plan laid out with what I think would be cool to have in a game of this type but I'm keen to hear if people had their own ideal restaurant tycoon game. Hit me with some of your ideas!

I've been reminiscing about the Westward games by Sandlot that I used to play a lot out of back in the day and I was thinking; "wouldn't it be great if there's actually a new city-builder set in the wild west?" and that prompted me to this sub lol.

Does anyone know any city-building game set in the wild west worth playing?

Anyone has ideas on any games similar to Oiligarchy? "Similar", means that the game has market&bussiness elements, the major focus is oil or fossil fuel extraction and industry, the price is indeed actually influenced by demand&supply rather than randomly changing, and the fossil fuel reserve is limited, deploying the "peak oil" theory. It is quite suprising that I have not found any atampt to create a game following those tags, Oiligarchy is like by far the only one of this type of game.

But the game is now over a decade old, missing the shale gas revolution and the breakthroughs in green technologies, and missing the time when China overtakes USA in crude oil consumption, making it less realistic feeling. And it really has quite many bugs in it, hindering game experience.

It would be more preferable, if the game tries to simulate the worldwide scale of oil&gas demand&supply with player controlled company and AI controlled companies.

Mobile (iOS) is where I get most of my gaming done nowadays. I've installed the mobile version of Sid Myers' Railroads, and I honestly feel like there is a lot to love. I feel its not quite scratching the itch that I can get from Railway Empire on desktop. As far as I can tell, I'm pining for the management of tracks in a factorio-style granularity. I'm interested in finding out if there's any other options out there.

While I love RCT classic, I have trouble getting in to Transport tycoon. OpenTTD is on my future play list for desktop, but also isn't what I'm looking for right now.

I'm really just chasing the high of playing *Lionel Trains on Track* as a train obsessed child, and wanting to take the "model railroad with gamified goals" with me on the road.

I want to make a new project and need ideas on what to do next. It would be a browser game in HTML rather than a game engine, but I can translate a game idea to the web.

So, what kind of tycoon/simulation games would you like to play/see? What is your dream game? It can be a game that doesn't exist or similar to existing ones. The more descriptive and precise you are the better.

Thank you :)

TBH I just got into the genre recently, not an expert or hardcore tycoon player at all - so I'm curious what was that first tycoon you played and if you still play it sometimes or leave it in the nostalgia zone. I started with Youtubers Life, don't think I'm gonna play it again as I think it might get ruined for me
