Vision for the project:
Tech Tycoon's vision was the create a New York styled city, and the players build up their skyscraper, where every floor produces a different bit of technology.
Achievements
I managed to create the vibe of New York, whilst not making the player feel like an ant when walking around. I also managed to tailor my workflow to optimise the players plots and allow me to quickly add in all 20 floors of the players plots.
Favourite part
My favourite part of this project was actually creating the city. Not only did I add in the buildings, but I also added in a car system using cinematic sequences, in which cars drive around the area, which really added life to the city. I also created some billboards on the buildings, promoting some of my other games.
Challenges I faced
A challenge for this project was adding enough variety into each floor of the players plot. When I did my first playthrough, I felt as if it felt very repeatative, and I needed to change that if I wanted to maintain a high playthrough time. Therefore, I added in minigames and variety to each of the floors of the plot. I changed up the layout and the design and it fixed the issues of repetition.
Results
The launch of the game was successful and there was some really good reception from our audience. The game felt really nice to play and I have started looking into possible updates for the game
