Code Tycoon

Should be an early access. Theme is great, idea is wonderful, execution is poor and i wonder who is the assistant to whom, i'm inclined to believe the human was/is the assistant to claude... 9€ to let the dev learn how to code with claude while we do beta testing, is a bit too much.

If you love computer science this is a must. Love the style. Love the music. Love code snippets. Love programming languages. Once I started this game I got so drawn into it.

It's on the right track, but a lot feels very missing from early gameplay. --highly tedious. I dislike how much the early game is almost entirely about doing contract work rather than more player-directed stuff. In 20 hours, I don't think I had ANY projects that felt like they were my idea. My business strategy was "slam every project that I was given within my target language." There's not a lot of alternate things to spend on in the first few hours so the main risk vs. reward consideration is... how quickly can I hire employees to slam MORE projects I have zero attachment to and train them for arbitrary levels I also have no attachment to (e.g. if there's any difference between level 10 and level 7, it's marginal at best, and certainly doesn't unlock any exciting new capabilities or specialties that I saw). My suggestion to the developer: in an ideal world I'd have suggested building around fewer concurrent projects and giving the player a more interesting role in each. --the project of endlessly assigning people and reassigning to bugs is not good. From the perspective of someone mainly playing hours 1-3 of this game a few times, managing bugs was pretty damn miserable. How ab…
