Publisher Tycoon

[h1]TL;DR[/h1] 1/10: Uninteresting gameplay and atrocious graphics. Buy [i]HunieCam Studio[/i] instead if you want a short management game with no grinding. [h1]Overview[/h1] [i]Publisher Tycoon[/i] is what [i]HunieCam Studio[/i] would have been if it had little decision making and zero replay value: A quick management sim which grinding is impossible because the player has a fire under their butt to make as much money in as little time as possible. The main difference is that there's a bit of a story in where the player assumes the role of a girl who's feelings for a boy weren't mutual, so the girl starts her own publishing company with the aim of making US$20 million at the end of eighteen months. (Talk about non-sequitor!) [h1] Graphics and Sound[/h1] The graphics are nothing special. Apart from the stats screens the player needs to see when the information is it's most helpful, there's a picture of an office at the top center of the screen which never changes (even after the player upgrades to the fancy schmancy level 5 office), and the top right corner features the main character behind a desk which does nothing for the game, because the player can obviously tell of t…

Very unpolished. Very buggy. Can go from over a million in the black to over a million in debt, which pauses the game. No way to save and exit. Literally had to "task Manager" my way out of it. Starting amount gives you nothing to work with to start.

Original but monotonous;

Not good at all 18 months is just not long enough to build 20 million the closest i have come is 9 million in about 12 playthrough's i wouldn't waste you time or money on this, to be honest i would not even recommend this if it was free

So, its midnight here, and I have to go to bed... amusing how my real-world publishing business is probably going to suffer tomorrow from my lack of sleep due to this simulated publishing game... eventually the time just flew by, and "just one more turn" snuck in... maybe this new book, maybe I can afford better development on it... etc etc I'm going to be straight up direct here. I went in with low graphic expectations, not knowing what to find (I just know I know the real world publishing biz, and the developer does too). The tutorial is very weak. I played the game 2 or 3 times (briefly), experimenting... my third time into the game and... Impressed! Maybe its because the music lulls you in with its simplicity and you don't notice the time go by. Maybe its the simulated real-life expectation of gambling on a book publishing deal, because you really believe in the product. The game starts real slow, but stick with it. Don't go in buy all the features, grow slow. My publishing company, after 2 hours of gameplay is sitting on about half a million dollars, and I still have a level 1 office, without any additional employees. The game is about building your rep and brand, so…

cute little game and i can highly recommend it, i know it was a mobile game, but its fun and it can get busy, very quickly
