Sim startup1/18/2024 I prefer sim games where I can solve problems creatively, like a city or a park. It’s for this reason why I didn’t get a lot of enjoyment out of my experience. However, in the case of Startup Company, the gameplay focuses more on the analytical side rather than the creative. So far what I’m describing sounds like any straightforward business sim. You can also train your existing employees so that their output will increase, and also crunch more advanced components. Researchers will simply accumulate the amount of research points available which can be used to upgrade or unlock newer and more complicated recipes along with more advanced jobs. The developers and designers crunch raw components all day for you to use in creating various features for your new site. You start with hiring developers, designers, and researchers. Startup Company is played primarily from a static isometric point of view (think original The Sims ). Over the course of the game there will be incremental milestones to reach along with an influx of cash when you reach said milestones. Eventually you’ll also need to rent warehouse space to house a server farm to handle user capacity. As your company grows in popularity, you’ll need to hire more staff, research new features, and rent a bigger office space to accommodate your growing staff and employees. You start off small in a cheap office that can only hold a certain number of workstations. As head honcho you must recruit employees to build your website. You, the player, are the CEO of your new startup company. This advisor also serves as the game’s tutorial that’ll provide you with initial seed money to start out with. Once you establish your company, you have a financial advisor who represents the investment firm. For instance, at no point are you negotiating with fictional in-universe movie studios as a streaming service for content, nor are you coordinating any sort of transport logistics or adhering to a delivery schedule as a shopping website. (“Damp” instead of Steam, “Kwitch” instead of Twitch, etc…) Sadly though, the type of site you decide upon will barely have any effect on the overall gameplay. Whichever field you select you’re given a list of the top 3 companies in that category, featuring humorous soundalikes or clever word puns to real world companies. You have a choice between one of six types: social media, shopping, video streaming, video sharing, dating, or a gaming platform. ![]() You start by first naming your company, your website, and then deciding the type of site you wish to become. Startup Company Console Edition is a business sim and real time strategy game. However, it turned out to be missing some key components, which prevented me from fully enjoying this title. Startup Company Console Edition, by Hovgaard Games, seemed to offer what I thought would be an experience similar to those I played in my youth. ![]() These were primarily simulator games, real-time strategy games, and the occasional point-and-click adventure. But of the few games I could play, I thoroughly enjoyed it. As a kid, whenever my parents were in the market for a new desktop computer for the household, the last thing on their minds when shopping was “how well does it run games?” As a result, I have limited experience and memories when it comes to gaming on PC.
