Very much worth the money, it may be in early access but it's still a full and fun game!!
If you’re a fan of addicting business simulations (game dev tycoon, roller coaster tycoon, coffee inc), I can’t recommend this game enough. Extremely in depth and fun gameplay
Funnily enough, I've almost had this game for ten years. This game was one of the first game I bought on Steam. Only Factorio and Space Engineers were bought before it. I've enjoyed watching as this game is developed over the years that have passed. I love creating a company and just dominating the market in certain fields or dominating everything and let them have scraps. I really enjoy building separate building for different part of my company and going into slight detail with the offices.
Amazing game, one of the best tycoon games out there right now imo.
I just absolutely love it
bom
This is most epic of developer simulators and the developer of this game has been most dedicated and i have bought this game 3 times 2 times for my self as my old steam account was stolen and once for a friend i highly recommend this game you will get endless hours of enjoyment especially with the modding community
A ideia do jogo é muito legal, mas o jogo peca em uma coisa que atrapalha muito no desenvolvimento da empresa do jogador. É na disponibilidade de tarefa para a empresa, o jogo não deixa o player escolher 100% do rumo da trajetória da empresa, é o jogo que toma essa decisão. UM exemplo, se o player monta um time de suporte e contrata uma recepcionista, só aparece contratados nada a vê com o que o player planejou e falo isso porque é o que têm me atrapalhado muito. Eu montei uma equipe de suporte para manter as contas da empresa fechada e poder produzir um conteúdo que eu queria, mas só aparece contratos ou de manufatura ou impressão e tudo isso é muito caro para quem está começando uma empresa, até porque você quem gastar com mais luz, segurança, pagar entregador e ainda corre o risco de perder tudo para o fogo ou para os bandidos que as vezes os seguranças bugados não pegam. Eu fali duas vezes só porque o ambiente que eu construí, pegou fogo, os negócios de apagar o fogo não adiantaram e perdi 3 milhões que eu iria usar para manter a empresa e desenvolver algo. Acredito eu, que todo mundo busca construir a sua empresa e jogar em paz aqui e até agora não consegui desenvolver nada, porque quando tudo tá indo bem, ou é fogo ou é bandido que rouba na cara do segurança. E não adianta comprar câmera que só vai aumentar o custo da luz. Então a dica que eu dou, melhorem o sistema de segurança, e melhorem os sistemas de contrato proporcionando aquilo que a empresa têm e não fazendo a gente construir coisas que a gente não quer para empresa. Por exemplo, se o player têm um time de suporte, que apareça contratos de suporte, até porque ninguém vai em uma empresa de pet shop comprar papel higiênico para si mesmo. Sobre a segurança, uma ideia que é bom, é colocar alarmes, ai quando eles arrombam as portas, o alarme toca. Seria bom também que quando o segurança pega eles, eles devolvam aquilo que roubaram.
A really good spreadsheet simulator about software. With in-depth mechanics that all work together and against each other, this game hits it home on so many levels. From being able to do nothing but operate as a datacenter, operate as a printer or manufacturer, or even the standard software company, this game genuinely does it all in its realm. With a decently active modding community, this game is really fun, especially if you have friends to play this with. 10/10, I recommend this to anyone who likes management or spreadsheet simulators. This game hits it home in all regards.
