Tycoon is a simulation game with the focus of allowing the player to create a
multitude of games of different genres on different platforms, and also giving
the player the ability to change the level of focus of different aspects of the
game being created (e.g. Graphics, dialogues etc.) through sliders. Games that
the player releases are reviewed by critics and scores are given out of 10,
which affects sales and how people will react to your game.

The game
is very unique in what it does, which is giving players an opportunity to be
creative, and for a person, like myself, who loves the idea of designing games,
this game allows players to do so without spending actual money or having detailed
thought.
The
story of the game is set 35 years back in the past, where the gaming industry
was slowly forming, in a real-life comparison, this would be around where the
first video games were being produced. You’re the boss of your own video game
company, meaning you start off with only yourself as the sole game creator. From
there, the story paces you up from being a one-man team working in a dusty old
garage, to a professional team of game designers hand-picked by yourself who
have the potential to create epic games to satisfy every gamer out there.

The
fictional platform releases in the game are somewhat tied into the story
aspect, it tells the story of how certain platforms came about and in some,
speaks of some controversy that did happen in real life. These platforms are
all renamed versions of the SNES, DreamCast, Xbox, PlayStation and the like,
all of which are released at a specific time during gameplay.
