Big Ambitions

I spent the first 50 days (~10 irl hrs) working at a grocery store. No apartment, just sleeping in the breakroom chairs to avoid rent costs. Made a crisp $181 after food casts per day. Enough for a business education and some savings for an apartment! But that was mind-numbing, so decided to work smarter-not-harder. Tried my hand at food and package deliveries (this allows you to set your own hours, and sleep in the delivery vans or park benches if you have to). But thanks to the Better Fines and Better Pedestrian mods, I actually lost money my first night... Apparently NYC is not a fan of running red lights and running into smartphone-addicted pedestrians. Gradually learned to drive carefully and dug my way out of debt. At last, after day 60 (~18 IRL hours) I earned enough to start my own florist shop next to my cheap apartment. I have to mop my floors, run my register, and supply my own shelves. And I earn less than my daily wage as a grocery store clerk. But feel so much pride in my own business. I have $5,000 in my account; much less than I would have earned as a grocery clerk or taking loans. But this money is MINE. And soon I will own the city! Only a billion or so dollars left to go. 10/10 this is the best single-player economy sim I've tried and I'm not even past the initial honeymoon phase. I often worry about lasting appeal (games like this tend to get too easy, too quickly). But the modding support is crazy good, so I know I can enhance the difficulty whenever I need. Might even vibe-code my own improvements to the game, although this will probably be unnecessary due to the presence of an already-fantastic modding community. As one example, the Google Maps ("Voogle Routes") mod was so impressive I felt compelled to donate a few bucks to the author, something I've never done. I don't know many people IRL who are into this kind of game. So I hope the internet listens to me -- buy this game! But perhaps only if you're into a little massochism. EDITS 18 hours: My employees man the shop Mon thru Fri. So what the hell do I do during the week? wow, it's such a strange feeling being boss. Neat!

Начал играть в игру ещё на начале создания, с первого билда. Т.К в моменте наткнулся на их проект Startup Company, и подумал игра старая есть ли ещё что-то новое. И увидел это чудо. С самого начала я понял что это проект с самыми большими амбициями, и не прогадал, игра реально заслуживает каждой своей монеты, и я рад что она продолжает развиваться, и сейчас я бы сказал это тир 1 игра в своём жанре.

Okay so 72 minutes into the game and i've barely scratched the surface of the starting tutorial...Yeah, very indepth game haha. I'd say so far so good, the character controls need some work, they're a bit janky, if you turn right you actually walk in like a semicircle which is odd, the only gripe i have with this game so far is the camera controls. It's very restrictive and a bit too much like Sims. The devs should copy cities skylines 1 as they nailed the camera controls and how you can move the camera around. When you're driving, you can't move the camera at all which is very frustrating.

我需要更强的对手和更多的区域和更多的行业

I thought I would like this Tycoon game because it looked interesting and has pretty good reviews, but once I played it, I found out it just isn't any fun, it just feels like a busywork and driving simulator rather then a buisiness simulator. Why do I have to drive around buying things for my shop? It is a video game, it's pretty standard just to have a menu to order things or have a build and buy mode that lets you drop furniture directly into your shop, but this game forces you to physcially drive around to the different shops to buy stock and furniture which is super annoying since the AI drivers get in the way constantly. Another problem is the UI is really bad for a Tycoon game, like I have to click through a bunch of different menus and it's just overall formated poorly and I have played heaps and heaps of these types of games and this has to be one of the worst UI's I have ever seen. Like it's not that the UI doesn't function, it's just designed really poorly. Once you build a shop that's it, you don't really do anything, you can just afk while the number goes up. Pretty boring. Overall I don't recommend this game. There's much better Tycoon games out there imo.

这游戏各方面做的都挺不错的，但员工可以筛选的信息还是太少了。为什么不能筛选年龄、性别以及工作岗位，毕竟我想招募更年轻的员工，并做更简单的安排，增强一些代入感，如果一起招进来不看年龄过几天就退休了怎么办？

Ich wollte eigentlich nur mal kurz reinschauen und mir ein kleines Modegeschäft in New York aufbauen. Schnitt zu 12 Stunden später: Es ist mitten in der Nacht, ich besitze mittlerweile drei Supermärkte, zwei Anwaltskanzleien, kriege die Krise, weil meine Lieferanten zu spät kommen, und muss gleich dringend meinen Charakter schlafen legen, weil er sonst mitten auf dem Gehweg vor Erschöpfung umkippt. Dieses Spiel ist die Definition von „Nur noch eine Sache fertigmachen“. Die Mischung aus Aufbau, Wirtschaftssimulation und echtem RPG-Feeling macht einfach süchtig. Man fängt wirklich ganz unten an, richtet seine ersten Läden manuell ein (inklusive Regale schleppen und Kassen aufstellen) und steuert irgendwann ein riesiges Firmenimperium, während man die Logistik im Hintergrund automatisiert. Es ist super motivierend zu sehen, wie die Zahlen auf dem Konto steigen und man sich vom kleinen Handwerker zum Multi-Millionär hocharbeitet, der im fetten Penthouse wohnt. Es gibt zwar hier und da ein paar kleine Ecken und Kanten, aber der Gameplay-Loop ist so verdammt gut durchdacht, dass man die Zeit komplett vergisst. Wer Wirtschaftssimulationen mag und Bock hat, New York komplett zu übernehmen, muss das hier einfach zocken. Absolute Kaufempfehlung!

Cozy business building sim that has just enough of the real-world considerations of running a business that it makes you think, "I could do this in real-life". Doesn't require you to be savvy with spreadsheets for high success, but the CSV exporter is built into the game if that is what tickles your fancy. This game was constantly improving itself and listening to player feedback during the EA period, so they will be good stewards after full release. If you are the kind that can be patient with yourself, learn from your mistakes, like incremental progression and not expect endgame success within the first 5 minutes, than this sim game is for you.

可以的，这游戏自从23年3月发售后到现在更新没断过，到26年的现在才临近正式版1.0，就一个小游戏公司这态度，做出的这么用心的一款游戏，我甚至觉得它不会输给星露谷，非常有潜力，值得期待！
