Hi all,

I'm a computer science student and i'm doing a game for final year project. Currently me and my team members come out with a theme park game that basically let user to play as a entrepreneur and build their own theme park on a world map. This game can be multiplayer and release for windows 8 app platform to allows other windows 8 user to join in the game and compete with other players. The player who has the most income or score will be display on the dashboard or something.

What do you guys think about this idea? Or if you have any good idea (maybe some game you want to play but is not yet on the market) do share with me! All feedback are welcome .

Thank you.

Kolo Mee Tycoon
Restaurant Malaysia Tycoon

ETC!!! Good luck.

Tycoon game excel at the sense of rivalry or competitiveness between enterprising entities.

I'm hoping ur not doing a time management gameplay and claiming it to be a tycoon game... that's not really a tycoon game. and its devaluing the true genre of tycoon...<just my thought>

why not u remake the gadget tycoon or game tycoon. added new features and characters like old airport tycoon spy or sabotage. that would really be an instant killer game. hehe.

furthermore you can scope your interface are just within a building for management and just use a world map for more interaction to the environment. it'll be a lot easier.

interface as big as an outdoor open space such as theme park or city are really complex and hard.

anyway good luck TS. I'll be rooting for you

Mamak Tycoon

Good Luck.

Keep it up. Whatever you do, don't give up. Game development is hard.

The most important is to complete a functional working project (if can come out quickly a prototype and play test it, its better).

Scoping your project too big and unrealistic mostly discourage people.

Suggest a working single player game then work towards the multiplayer part.

Sorry, talk too much. Good Luck!! you guys can do it!!

+1. Catering to local cheapskate elements Put in competitors and new outlets (Expansion etc) and then increase the scale to dominate like areas/states/countries. I'd totally buy that if you can do a proper Mamak Tycoon. Serious shit. No joke.

@TS: I see trouble if you're really going to code for win8. Its better if you develop using a tested OS: winxp/7. Btw, what platform will the game made for? browser/mobile/pc?

Answering your question, "Theme park" will always be my fav tycoon game http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theme_Park_(video_game). It has a certain charm to its quality.

hi TS, which game engine are u using?

donut 1 to keep this alive. hows the progress. keep the play area small. its just your year end project rite?

p/s: make /k tycoon. ppl log in, post, later log out easy peasy. huhu

motorcycle game but wit a twist of need for speed..
no one do dat..
so dat motorcycle can be customized..change exhaust,carburetor,coverset bla..bla
dat motrcycle from ex5 to big bike..would be fun

mamak tycoon sound not bad..can add 1malaysia infront..sure got ahjib approval

Hahaha~!! I agree with him. You will receive a call from ahjib very soon

The best advice I can give you is to keep it simple and don't plan too big. Make a proof of concept first and get the basics down before you think about big shit.

In fact, you probably won't have time to go beyond something extremely simple.

ha ha ha

if you want the capability of a multiplayer game

prepare a server first.

and the netcode to go with it.
