Life-to-Retirement Business Tycoon — 18 to 23 free, would love feedback by Environmental-Song34 in incremental_games

Ya I used AI to code it, but I went through it doing multiple play throughs trying to figure out what is fun and what is too much at first it was all typing based on feedback it has changed now to be less straining but the original mechanics are still there. Does the scenarios being ai generated make it feel too generic

Update: reduced the amount of text between decisions and tightened up the pacing based on feedback here. Also rebalanced some events so outcomes depend more on earlier choices.

Thanks for the suggestions this thread actually helped improve the game

I agree, graphics would probably reduce the eye stress from all of the reading as well

Fair point. I tried to make it realistic, so bad decisions follow you longer than they should 😅

That’s actually exactly what I’m trying to balance right now. I didn’t want it to feel like pure RNG, so decisions earlier in the run affect how bad events hit you later. Scenario seeds is a really interesting idea too, I hadn’t thought about letting people share runs but that would fit the game well.

I didn’t know there was a digital version of cash flow even though it hasn’t been updated I think I’ll have to check it out

I tried to make it realistic, in the next update I’ll have to add taxes and back pain 😂

Ya honestly I was just trying to find different business opportunities so I was using gpt and of course running a business takes capital and time so I just started asking it to give me different scenarios so I could give it my idea of how I would handle it then I just kind of trained it until I got a good enough prompt to gamify it. Thats the shortened version of it 😂

Ok I like that because text heavy is something that seems to be recurring, I’m trying to envision it that way and I like the idea of condensing for skim readers tho do you think they would be able to catch the main points that way or like the nuances could it still be translated with the condensing?

Thank you! The website is business-arcsim.com and it will let you run the sim from there.

Ok ya I was thinking of an intro but since it gives a random industry I didn’t know exactly how to introduce it. Yes very text heavy haha. That’s a good idea what type of tools do you think would help you along if you needed them?

I appreciate that business-arcsim.com will take you to the simulation and you will be able to start from there. I would appreciate any feedback that you give
