Code Tycoon

Code Tycoon is a company management game that begins in 1980, when you work alone from a garage with a computer. Take on contracts and develop software as you grow from a one-person operation into a corporate headquarters with 100 employees. The game spans more than 40 years, from 1980 to 2020 and beyond.

Build your company

Contracts come from clients ranging from startups to government agencies, each with their own requirements, budgets and deadlines. Hire junior and senior developers, specialists and QA testers, train them and keep them satisfied. Expand your workplace from the garage to a small office, then an open-plan office and finally corporate headquarters. You also manage revenue, salaries, rent and license costs.

Develop software

Projects consist of features you need to implement, and bugs can appear as you work. Find and fix them before delivery: fewer bugs make clients happier and improve your reputation. Satisfied clients may return with larger contracts or request migration projects when new technologies become available. You can unlock over 20 programming languages, from BASIC and COBOL to Python, JavaScript and Rust; each has strengths and weaknesses, so choose a suitable language for each contract.

Projects and progression

The game includes more than 15 project types, including web apps, mobile apps, databases and games. A skill system lets you develop specializations. The soundtrack changes across eras, from 8-bit chiptunes to synthwave.
