Our take on Mad Games Tycoon
The defining structure is a studio-growth simulation that starts in a small 1980s garage and expands through office construction, staffing, game production, acquisitions, engine development, and console creation.
What is Mad Games Tycoon?
Begin with a small game studio in the early 1980s and manage its growth into a larger company.
Develop original game concepts, choose genres and audiences, set priorities such as graphics, sound, technique, and gameplay, and decide whether to use an engine, copy protection, or licensed movie content. Hire and train staff, research technologies, construct rooms, and move into larger offices. Games can be produced internally or through publisher deals. The company can also buy competitors, create and sell its own engine, manufacture games in bulk, and develop a game console. Office construction includes development, server, training, production, warehouse, customer support, and executive spaces.
