Hi,

As I prommised in “steam screenshot” email thread I’ll give you some of my ideas that I wanted to implement in my game.

First – your game is realy great. So far, I played 24 hours in 15 days – it’s very much for my time options 🙂

Hardware development side is great. I would suggest you one change there – allow people to create own cpu architecture.

Software development – here is how I imagined it for my game.

You need to allow users to develop languages and compilators.

For languages:
– low level
– mid level
– high level

Low level language allows you to optimize your software for each architecture. Development is slow, but users receive fast programs. Applications are not multiplatform. Something like an assembler. Applications can be reallu buggy and hard to debug.

Mid level is something like C. Applications are developed faster than in assembler, they are a bit buggy – all these overflows. Applications are cross platform.

High level is something like C#. Applications are developed fast, they are cross platform, less buggy, but they are also slower than developed in lower level languages.

Software development should have its own department. You should be able to create an operating system for your computers (architecture), but also for computers created by other companies (if your compilator allows you to build to other os/architecture).

Software department should be able to produce software like:
– office suites
– games
– professional cad/cam/photoshop like programs (different tech trees)
– software libraries/game engines

In other words you should be able to play in this game as a sofware company like – Microsoft that produces a software for hardware that is on the market.

If you implement this software side (I guess that you already have almost all pieces in your engine to implement it) than this game for me will be best tech company tycoon ever. If you don’t want to do this, don’t worry, this game is still great 🙂 (but maybe one day, I’ll implement my idea)

P.S. Your website http://www.computertycoon.com/ loads slow – you may want to try https://tinypng.com/ to optimize images

Best regards,
Michal
