About BusinessMan

What is the BusinessMan game?



First i want to say that this game is not funny or beautiful and it don't even try to be it. BusinessMan is game, where you make Business. It's main think is in Business and economy. Can you survive and make company which make profit?

In BusinessMan, you are an entrepreneur among others. You can for example start off by investing your initial 20k€ smartly or try to become a chairman in some company. BusinessMan is a simple business simulation game.

Once you're a chairman, you start making regular income, but the biggest incomes naturally lie behind the greatest of risks.

Different ways of making money in BusinessMan


You can invest in the stocks market
You can invest in real estate
You can build stores and sell others products
You can make a factory and produce goods for sale
You can build a farm and grow goods for sale
You can build a research plant to improve on existing products
You can gather different kinds of resources, like oil, wood, iron, coal etc.
You can build different kinds of power plants, coal power, windmills and nuclear plants.

As you can see, there are many ways to get rich.

Make as many companies as you see fit



BusinessMan won't limit your imagination in company structure sizes. You can make a different company for each production, one company to rule some of them or just one company to manage it all. It's all up to you how you want to arrange your companies.

See the city grow and conquer more areas



The city keeps evolving around you and there are only so many lots to build on before they run out. The city also behaves dynamically, so if there is unemployment, people won't be able to afford buying things.

Design products



You'll have to improve on your designs all the time in your research plant. Also, it's good to publish new products every now and then too to keep your good reputation up along with hype for new products. If you keep releasing the same product over and over again, people will grow tired of it really fast and lose interest in your offerings.

Laws and lawsuits



The laws keep changing in the game. For example, the state might require cleaner technologies and better filters to be used to proceed with the production. Some companies might sue you for stealing their ideas too and whatnot.

Others



The business simulation in BusinessMan is heavily based on cruel number crunching, numbers that never lie and numbers that tell everything there is to be told about another company. Be careful not to get fined or in trouble with the law, it might ruin your reputation. Even a genius might be hard to employ if he has a bad reputation. Take loans when the interests are low and invest the money smartly. Being a big company is a tough task if you don't know what you're doing. Collect the prizes from the yearly events, get titles like "innovator of the year". Secure other businesses by investing into them. Because if you are a reputable company, people will trust more in the companies you are invested into too. Help new companies start up by making investments in them. Create a large chain of companies to fight your way from a small town to the top of the world.

I like this game to a point. It has a good foundation and could have been a great game. The problem is that it crashes a LOT, freeze up and all progress is lost. What makes me sad is that i believe it was abandoned some time ago, no updates or fixes for ages. I will not buy anymore from this dev, untill he finishes what he started, this product is at best in beta stage

Hear me out. If you're a person looking for a niche simulator of business & economy you may actually enjoy this game for 10bucks (including tax). For me, after revisiting the tags on steam for "Simulation" , "Business" , "Economy" , and seeing the same ♥♥♥♥ with mixed reviews for years on end I finally cracked on this one, with my bar-low. Given the niche is flooded with clicker/idle-games. So, Here's what the game is: A prototype a dev would pitch to a publisher. That's it--- that's the game. In any case that may have failed, but if you can get over that, and know you get what you pay for, you'll have fun. That aside, Lets point-blank address the common negative reviews here from that perspective: [quote=Kearnsy] This game SERIOUSLY needs some work on UI like holy ♥♥♥♥! Not only that it visually is not very pleasing - ALTHOUGH it has huge potential as I like the concept of the game - it just needs some SERIOUS refining. Hopefully he doesnt run away with some money."[/quote] The GUI is doable, but you'll notice the [X] button can clip into other buttons. So while you mean to exit a window entirely, you bring up another window that's below the [X] you're trying to exit f…

Interesting and viable concept, terrible execution. UI is broken beyond usable, windows are cut missing critical information.

I really like this game. It definitly needs work though. The UI can be buggy, not all of the text is translated to english, the translated english is not all that good, and the mechanics and functions of the game can be somewhat stupid at times. However, I find the game to be very fun to play and I am excited for the future developments in the game.
