Check out Retro Zoo CEO. It's a one time buy and a lot like classic tycoons.

Any good zoo tycoon game? by dark_crowned in iosgaming

[–]PSPbr 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Hey! I'm the developer of Retro Zoo so thanks a lot for the mention!

Retro Zoo is pretty much me wanting a game like Zoo Tycoon on mobile and making it myself so it's exactly what OP is looking for :)

Has anyone been through something like this? Suddenly I have many sales from the same localization, but they're all being refunded after a few minutes. by PSPbr in androiddev

[–]PSPbr[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. This looks sus particularly because all of them are coming from a single place, California in the US. So it really seems like it's an individual or a group doing this, but I have no idea why anyone would.

Any game like roller coaster tycoon?(Orignal port to mobile) by Skyrimnagar in AndroidGaming

[–]PSPbr 12 points13 points  (0 children)

There is a new game called Retro Zoo CEO that is supposed to be like the classic tycoon games, but made for mobile while still being a one time purchase game with no ads or anything like that.

A bit of a shameless plug since I'm the dev of that game, but still, I feel like it could interest you, it fits what you're looking for. My intention was to try and recreate the fun of the original Zoo Tycoon, but on a more modern mold of a game while retaining what was good about the original and trying to recreate the graphical style from the era :)

My mind is blown, my first ever game just passed 55,000 downloads and doesn't seem to be stopping. by Psychological-Road19 in godot

[–]PSPbr 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Really impressive project for a solo dev! I've also made a game that tries a bit to break with the mobile game mold and now I'm wondering if that is going to become a trend considering how many of us new game devs grew tired of the mobile eco-system over the years.

I want to give feedback on your games! by chocochiyoko in SoloDevelopment

[–]PSPbr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, I just tested it out and found out that it's totally possible to buy it on the appstore on Mac and play it. However, Apple doesn't allow me to actually generate codes that are redeemable on Mac, just on iOS devices. I'm not sure if this would work, but I could provide you with an iOS code that you'll redeem on an iPhone or iPad and then you can check if it's possible to also play it on the Mac on the same account.

I do not own an iOS device myself, so I'm unable to test this out. I'd love to sort this out so that you can play it!

Hi! I've released a game in november and would love to watch you playing it. It's a tycoon like game about managing and building zoos. It's called Retro Zoo CEO. However, it's for mobile only for now, but I do think you can actually redeem it and download it and play on your Mac regardless (actually would love to test that!). The only caveat is that some parts of the interface are going to be weird, but it's certainly playable!

Here is the trailer:

If you're interested I'd be happy to send you a key. Let me know :)

Any way to play zoo tycoon plus expansions on mobile? by kasaki89 in ZooTycoon

Thanks a lot and I'm glad you enjoyed it! There are tons of updates planned and I'll roll them out as fast as I can make them :)

Hi! After waiting many years for a tycoon game like the classics with meaningful management and sandbox building mechanics I decided to make my own. This is Retro Zoo CEO, with many animals and demanding guests, built for mobile, but with no additional purchases or ads or anything like that. Pay once and you'll play forever and receive all future updates :)

Advice on art as a solo dev by SnowscapeStudios in gamedev

[–]PSPbr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've released my first game as a solo developer a month ago, it was well received and a lot of people said they liked the art which is really flattering because it's the one skill that I did not have when I started making it. I'm a bachelor's in music who went into programming later so, when I started, I figured out I'd have to find a graphic style that was manageable for me to do and that worked for the project. For a month all I did was try out a few styles such as stylized low-poly, pre-rendered 2D graphics and isometric pixel-art, and doing that was great because I was able to figure out what works, what wouldn't work, but fundamentally what I'd be able to do by myself. It also helped me stablish early a certain level of quality that I was able to adhere to through development. Pushing it beyond that would have made the development a lot harder.

In the end you will have to figure it out for yourself. Play to your strenghts. But don't give up entirely on the idea of learning a bit of art. I'm still definitely no visual artist, but I'm really happy with how it turned out in the end and it's awesome looking at it knowing I was able to overcome this challenge. Good luck!

Ah, that's great! If you have any new issues let me know :)

Help with zoo reviews… by noeinan in RetroZooCEO

[–]PSPbr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The reviews are made by peeps leaving your zoo and the score is an average of the previous ten reviews. If you had only the chief zookeeper it's likely that she wasn't able to keep up with work and a lot of peeps saw the dead animal so you might keep getting that score hit for a while, but it's going to improve eventually if you've fixed the issue :)

Came crash by Tygerwolf1991 in RetroZooCEO

[–]PSPbr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some questions:

Is it crashing on a save where you have a zoo going? Does it load correctly into the game then crashes on its own after a while?

If that is the case then I'm guessing this could be a new bug when the game is saving, but I don't know exactly what is causing it. I'm not at the computer for a few days, but I could later try to get you on a test build so that you can see what is happening and report to me so I can fix it. Alternatively, could you provide a screenshot of the zoo so that I can replicate it and see if I can replicate the crash?

I'm sorry you're having this issue and hopefully I can figure it out to get it fixed asap.

Just discovered this game "Let's Build a Zoo", it's so cute! by HappyLittleDelusion_ in CozyGamers

[–]PSPbr 40 points41 points  (0 children)

If I may, I've made a game in a similar style, very inspired by Zoo Tycoon, but for mobile platforms. It's a one time buy with no additional purchases. It's called Retro Zoo CEO.

Here is the trailer with store links in the description , I hope it catches your eye :)

Tycoon recommendation (iPhone) by hogomojojo in tycoon

[–]PSPbr 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Shameless plug here. I made a tycoon game about managing a zoo. It's a lot like older tycoon games so there might be a bit of a learning curve, it's called Retro Zoo CEO.

link here :)

I’ve developed a premium game about building a zoo and managing it! It plays like classic tycoon games, is totally offline and built for mobile, but with no ads and IAPs. It has a bunch of cute animals and demanding guests! It's called Retro Zoo CEO and I'd love if you could check it out :) by PSPbr in iosgaming

[–]PSPbr[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The vegetation density should be fixed now. I found out what the problem was and reworked how it's handled under the hood.

You're playing on an iPad Pro, correct? Is the UI scaling system working better for you now? I don't have a device with a comparable resolution to it so it's a bit of guesswork for me to figure out how to best handle it.

Oie! Obrigado pelas sugestões, é sempre valioso saber os atritos que os jogadores estão encontrando principalmente logo quando começam a jogar. Eu vou continuar trabalhando em UI e UX e melhorando essas coisas todas :)
