App Developer Tycoon

App Developer Tycoon is a turn-based indie simulation game.

You just quit your job to build apps from your bedroom.

Mum is charging you $5 a day. ByteWorks already has 4 apps live. The App Store Review Board is watching. The clock is ticking.

App Developer Tycoon is a startup-simulator and a turn-based narrative tycoon game about the indie developer grind — from bedroom coder to Silicon Valley HQ.

━━━ HOW IT WORKS ━━━

Each day you get Action Points to spend. Learn a new skill. Attend a calendar event. Keep your app pipeline flowing. Every decision has real consequences. A coding game will keep your app on its toes.

• LEARN — A different skill is available to study each day. Miss it and it's gone until tomorrow.
• ATTEND EVENTS — Hackathons, investor pitches, design workshops, networking coffees. Some cost money. Some earn money. All of them matter.
• BUILD APPS — Choose a genre, write a compelling description, give it a name worth remembering. Then wait for the results.

━━━ THE APP STORE IS UNFORGIVING ━━━

Your apps are reviewed by real (simulated) users. A bad name tanks your score before a single person downloads it. A great description can save a mediocre app. Launch something brilliant and you might read:

"I don't usually leave reviews. I'm leaving one now."

Launch something terrible and:

"My nephew built a better version for a school project."

━━━ BUILD YOUR EMPIRE ━━━

Progress from Bedroom → Garage → Co-working Space → Studio → Silicon Valley HQ. Each workspace unlocks new genres, project slots, and possibilities — but comes with rising daily rent. The pressure never stops.

━━━ A WORLD THAT REACTS TO YOU ━━━

ByteWorks is watching. If your app goes to #1, they'll notice. If they clone your genre, they'll email you about it. The rivals are aggressive. The story events have teeth.

• Story events with real consequences
• A living app economy — trends shift, apps decay, nothing earns forever
• 46 Easter eggs hidden in app names (try naming your app "App Developer Tycoon")
• Tutorial emails from Mum, Dad, your insufferable cousin Kevin, and the App Store Review Board
