As the title of this thread goes, what are the requirements of creating a Business Tycoon game?

Many of you I assumed has played the Game Dev Tycoon game, a game about creating a Business made for creating games.

I’ve recognized that there is alot of if and while loops. Also some for in there too. While reading the Game DEV tycoon wiki I discovered that it uses alot of html5 and Javascript but I’m looking at if unity has the power to create a tycoon game.

I guess the simple question is, what are the skill parts needed from programming to make a Business Tycoon Game.

Unity has the power to create this type of game. It can create pretty much any game.

Variables, loops and branches (if) are pretty much fundamental to any sort of software. Asking if you need them is like asking if the Mona Lisa used paint. Yes it did, but there is a lot between knowing you need paint and painting a masterpiece.

My advice would be look at the classics and see what new ideas can fall out.

Great new ideas are more important than the tools you use to build them…

I see… would you recommend this type of game to be 2D or 3D Low Poly?

??? Art ultimately comes down to style.

My general reccomendation for new users is to build 2D. The art is simpler for learning. There are others that disagree with me.

If you do 3d you could give it a nice isometric feel which would be harder to draw if you are inexperienced?
Just my 2 cents
