About this game
You just quit your job to build apps from your bedroom.
Mum is charging you $5 a day. ByteWorks already has 4 apps live. The App Store Review Board is watching. The clock is ticking.
App Developer Tycoon is a turn-based narrative tycoon game about the indie developer grind — from bedroom coder to Silicon Valley HQ.
━━━ HOW IT WORKS ━━━
Each day you get Action Points to spend. Learn a new skill. Attend a calendar event. Keep your app pipeline flowing. Every decision has real consequences.
• LEARN — A different skill is available to study each day. Miss it and it's gone until tomorrow.
• ATTEND EVENTS — Hackathons, investor pitches, design workshops, networking coffees. Some cost money. Some earn money. All of them matter.
• BUILD APPS — Choose a genre, write a compelling description, give it a name worth remembering. Then wait for the results.
━━━ THE APP STORE IS UNFORGIVING ━━━
Your apps are reviewed by real (simulated) users. A bad name tanks your score before a single person downloads it. A great description can save a mediocre app. Launch something brilliant and you might read:
"I don't usually leave reviews. I'm leaving one now."
Launch something terrible and:
"My nephew built a better version for a school project."
━━━ BUILD YOUR EMPIRE ━━━
Progress from Bedroom → Garage → Co-working Space → Studio → Silicon Valley HQ. Each workspace unlocks new genres, project slots, and possibilities — but comes with rising daily rent. The pressure never stops.
━━━ A WORLD THAT REACTS TO YOU ━━━
ByteWorks is watching. If your app goes to #1, they'll notice. If they clone your genre, they'll email you about it. The rivals are aggressive. The story events have teeth.
• Story events with real consequences
• A living app economy — trends shift, apps decay, nothing earns forever
• 46 Easter eggs hidden in app names (try naming your app "App Developer Tycoon")
• Tutorial emails from Mum, Dad, your insufferable cousin Kevin, and the App Store Review Board
━━━ FEATURES ━━━
✓ Turn-based daily loop — never feels rushed
✓ 10+ app genres to unlock
✓ Skill tree up to Level 25 per skill
✓ Rival studios that ship, compete, and taunt you
✓ Revenue charts, finance logs, Hall of Fame
✓ Auto-saves your progress
How far can you go?
