About
Tower Networking Inc is a blend of simulation and economic-strategy with rogue-like elements. Physically connect your clients to your networks by patching cables into switches, routers and data risers. Run an internet service provider in a tower that keeps building random floors. Each new floor comes with unique residences and/or offices that naturally has a variety of different needs.
As the network operator, you are tasked to provide connectivity and various IT related services to the residents in the tower on a limited budget. Your board of directors have a strict policy where you must never go over-budget or face termination from your role. Additionally, some of your clients have service level agreements (SLA) and you must ensure their internet connection (and the services they need) stays up. If any of them files a complaint, then its game-over!.
Your goal is to ensure your internet service provider runs as long as possible.
RUN AN INTERNET SERVICE PROVIDER: Provide internet services to residences and offices in an ever-expanding randomly generated tower.
CABLE MANAGEMENT SIMULATION: Spaghetti ahoy! Link up switches and routers with various types (and lengths) of network cables.
COMMAND LINE INTERFACE: Trace connectivity between equipment, scan for devices, install server applications and troubleshoot your network issues all using the good-ole terminal console.
DIVERSE INTERNET ACTIVITIES: Cater to the wide variety of online activities like web forums, social media sites, online streaming platforms, digital banking, web-hosting. Host various applications to satisfy the needs of your clients.
HANDLE DISASTERS: From power outages to cyberattacks, you're in charge of disaster recovery of your network. Ensure your clients can still reach their digital destination even when the lights are out.
ECONOMIC STRATEGY: Keep a close eye on your finances. Invest in equipment, manage operational costs, and develop strategies to keep your internet service provider profitable.
SOLO AND CO-OP MODES: Play in a single-player tailored mode or play co-op with many friends with a harder difficulty setting.

非常意外地令人上瘾 正经学网工知识还是算了,作为网工题材的游戏玩起来还是很不错的
The game is So hard, and if I think games are hard I give them bad reviews. So. thats why I give it a bad review.
This game convinced me to go back and finish getting my CCNA. A lot of fun. It still needs some polish and balancing passes, but if you like games in the vein of Turing Complete, this is a fun one for networking and server administration and operations. It's like a gamier version of Packet Tracer, almost. The multiplayer is also surprisingly fun. You'd think there's a lot of stepping on toes but with difficulty settings you can just put each person in charge of different tasks. My only real gripes are: 1. Switches seem to function like hubs. They don't maintain a mac (or I guess hardware, in game terminology) address table and so they forward all traffic out of every port, which means they quickly overwhelm bandwidth. It feels like other than needing to deal with setting up routing tables, this means that routers are pretty much strictly better than switches until you get vlan-enabled switches. 2. The RFP system feels a bit odd at the moment. Locking stuff like sftp, which is necessary if you made a misstep and allowed a worm to hit your routers, behind random chance feels punishing. It almost feels like this should be split into an RFP system which provides run modifiers (like the Tenabolt-related proposals) and a tech tree that grants access to core stuff (maybe something like hub -> switch upgrades, other device upgrades, sftp, and other semi-essential stuff). Still though, these are relatively minor issues, and I've already seen enough content added in updates that these are far from deal breakers.

Incredible!
I like
Valve посмели скрывать от меня этот шедевр целый год?????
neat
It is so much fun and I already learned a lot about networking (always thought that "switch" and "router" are just synonyms, turns out to be very wrong). But here's a WARNING: I can imagine that it's ultra hard for someone not already at least a bit familiar with networking and working with a terminal. I know that some people have terminalophobia! On the other hand, this game could be the way to introduce you into it since the commands here are just a simplified version of reality, easy to learn. And a perfect match in case you want to check out Linux :)
Fun game if you like to to tinker with networking things. Can have a steep learning curve for some things.
Fun little game. 10/10
