Tycoon games have been around for years and it’s fair to say that they’ve had a long, and varied, history. You have some real classics, like the original Zoo Tycoon and the Rollercoaster Tycoon series. But you also have some really strange ones too. I’m looking at you, Toilet Tycoon.This type of game holds a special place in my heart, but few ever came to console.
In recent years, we’ve had a new and little else. Well, now we’ve got another one –. First released on Steam in 2016, it’s now come to Xbox One. It’s essentially a game all about making games. The only question? Is it a good game about making games, or a garbage game about making games? In true tycoon fashion, there is no end goal.

Mad Games Tycoon - Game Development Guide. This Guide lists the Perfect Settings for each Genre, their ideal Target Markets,.
The focus of Mad Games Tycoon is instead placed on making as much money as possible. And how you go about doing that is entirely up to you. There are so many paths to success, and you’re never locked into just one. You can develop your own console or build an engine.
You can become a publisher and fulfill all types of contract. If you’re feeling particularly dastardly you can even buy out your competition and shut them down or force them to make games for your console.But the main focus of Mad Games Tycoon is making games. And this is where you’ll be spending most of your time. It’s just as well then that there are so many options to experiment with. There are hundreds of topics to research, from fairies to football and everything in between.
All the most popular genres are included. And there are close to 40 features that can be researched in order to make the best games possible. Playing around with all this stuff makes for a great time. The amount of variety really allows you to make any game you can think of, no matter how mental it sounds. Games that combine the apocalypse and dating, or American Football with animals, are par for the course in Mad Games Tycoon and it’s brilliant.Of course, a great idea doesn’t always translate into a great game. I can’t tell you how many times I thought I was onto a real winner, only to be destroyed by the critics and given Worst Game of the Year. In that sense, Mad Games Tycoon encourages experimentation and learning from your mistakes.
Finding which topics fit together, and exactly how much attention you should pay to factors like graphics or gameplay, takes time. This differs for every genre too, and it stops the game from ever becoming too easy. Just because you’ve nailed the formula for the perfect RPG doesn’t mean you can automatically go on to make a best-selling FPS. All-in-all it’s a remarkably deep simulator. The only thing it’s missing is a decent tutorial. You’re told a few things at the very start, before being dropped in at the deep end and told to get on with it.
You’ll have to find out pretty much everything on your own. It’s worth spending a good chunk at the start of the game clicking everything you can just to see what it is. I didn’t do that, and ended up not realising I could even buy other companies until 20 years into the game. It would have been nice to have known that that was an option from the start, instead of just stumbling across it by chance.Tycoon games always seem to be better suited to mouse and keyboard, and that applies to Mad Games Tycoon too. It’s clear that nothing has been done to optimise the game for console.
The controller simply doesn’t offer enough precision, and it becomes a real problem when the large clickable icons that represent rooms begin to overlap each other in busier offices. Misclicks are common. Too often you’ll end up selecting the wrong room, or picking up random objects and staff members; it quickly becomes a real annoyance.More issues can be found with the game-making process. Game titles can only be a certain number of characters, and it’s a ridiculously low amount.
It’s made even worse by the fact that your AI competition don’t suffer from this and can name their games whatever they want. You can’t back out of certain menus if you click on them either. And then there’s the fact that you can only have one save game at a time, and that one achievement – Monopoly – is glitched and won’t unlock. The presentation is poor too. Unfortunately, Mad Games Tycoon looks incredibly dated – and it sounds even worse.
Sound design consists of a few beeps and the same horrendous looped soundtrack. Play this one on silent. You’ll thank me later.I imagine to be a rather polarising game.
The issues are numerous and will likely put some people off. Still, these don’t spoil the game entirely. And after getting to grips with Mad Games Tycoon I can say it’s actually a rather fun and addictive game. It gives you plenty to do, and it’s something that you could easily play for hours at a time.
Anyone who is a big fan of simulation games should definitely give this one a try. Tycoon games have been around for years and it’s fair to say that they’ve had a long, and varied, history.

This is a way to start. There are lots of spoilers.Set up your character to be good at Arcade and make him work fast and be good at game design.Don't do Easy start, but do choose easy difficulty.Build the smallest possible bathroom,Build good sized developement room that will fit three desks while leaving enough space for another three desk room when you start research.Add heaters, fan,s plants, etc.
To make the people work faster.Hire two other people.Build a arcade / pet game, 70% Optics, 80% Length, 100% Atmosphere, 70% Beginner, 80% Casual. Only choose English.Publish with a publisher that is good for Arcade. Build a second game the exact same way. These will get about 45% ratings and sell fairly well.Research Sprites and build an engine. Sell it for 5000 plus 10%, sometimes you will get lucky and sell it.Buy Copy Protection.Make more pet/arcade games with your new engine.
Make them for every language. These will be about 65% rated.When you open up 2 platforms, get the dev kit for the other platform and make it for both.When Scrolling and PC Speaker both become available research them.If Joystick isn't available yet make games until it becomes available. Research Joystick.Make a new Engine with everything selected. Build another pet/arcade game. This will take quite a while, but when it is finished it will make a ton of money, millions. It should be rated about 90%Go to a bigger building and set it up.Make more games until Simple AI, 4 color graphics and saved games can be researched. Research them and build a new engine.
Make more games, you should have 10 million or more in the bank and be about three years? Into the game. Once you find out how, the game is really easy to beat on hard difficulty also. For hard diffiuculty what worked for me was:- At start of game, hire a second employee and develop a game without engine.
This game is not meant to make money, so keep it as cheap as possible. You just need it to get the research department unlocked.- Now have a development and a research department. In research, put all guys with high stats in game design, as game design only influences research speed.
The other employees go to development.- Development now keeps doing contract work for quick money.- Research department (better to have two research departments if you can afford it) only researches any new feature which is enabled with time.- If there is no feature left to research, check which engines have been published. Keep the genres these engines are specialized on in memory and research a genre which there is no engine for yet.- When there is no contract work left for development department, develop an engine for the previously researched genre. Set it to sell engine, around 100 to 150k and 10-15% profit share worked well for me.Now basically repeat this a few times until you got like 5-8 engines published for sale - you will quickly have more money than necessary to move to a bigger office.Don't bother developing games until there is 16 color graphics available, and only use your own engines to develop games with (with bought engines you almost always make a loss, no matter how good the game ratings are).As soon as own production becomes available, go for it. At a certain point in the game (I believe it was 256 color graphics), all of your developed games will get 91% ratings (as long as you dont use a completely outdated engine). Publish one of these games yourself, aim at around 1 to 1.5 million sold copies (your factory and storage should be able to handle this).
Take care not to go bankrupt while producing the copies, if necessary cancel production and start it again after first sales came in. You will make about 10-15 million $ with this game and from now on, it is just a boring repetition. Every game makes millions of money which you won't be able to spend for the rest of the game. Originally posted by:does this guide still work? Started playing a new game after the patch and not seen a single game go about 12% overall everyone is saying its the worst game of the year In the beginning on hard or normal it is expected to get a low pct on your first game.
I always try to lose as little money as possible on the first game. On hard mode there is a little luck involved on whether you get contract jobs or sell engines. If you save on week 4 then reload the game you might get a contract job. If you keep doing it you will definately get a contract job but sometimes it takes many efforts.
This also will work if you have a low paying job. You can save and restart and get a higher priced job. With the recent updates hard is getting harder which is good. OK new thoughts after playing on hard.Build your toilets and big development room. Borrow from the bank and get four of the best desks.
Make the place nice.Hire 3 people so 4 including you.Do a contract to get cash.Make a skill game. Gameplay +4, Length +5, Function +5, Friendly +5, Casual +5Push Gameplay and then Control very high, Graphic and Sound an be at 10%Build Research room.More Contracts.Research Sprites.Build Engine. Price at $0 and 50%. I said 20% earlier but as mentioned later in this thread 50% works just fine.Research RPG to open sub-genre.Do contracts.Reseach more tech stuff until you have PC Speaker Music researched.Update Engine with latest tech still keeping $0 and 20%.Make Skill / Arcade game with new engine and 5 techs. Use your concept from the first game.Do 2 patches.Have best selling game and you are on your own.
