We are happy to answer all of your questions! From the development process of Startup Company, to why we aim to push the tycoon genre on consoles, the biggest challenges with optimizing a menu heavy game for gamepad support, etc.!
Just don’t ask us “what goes first: milk or cereal?”, because there is not an internal consensus about it. 🙂
Startup Company Console Edition is a business simulation sandbox game. Start your journey as a CEO of a humble team and build your own empire!
Features:
– Run a website: select your own area of expertise, from social media, competitive streaming service, dating app, and more!
– Set up offices: provide the best working space for your employees with a wide selection of different offices that can grow alongside your company.
– Manage employees: hire and train the best candidates, but don’t forget to maintain the workplace happiness, before your competitors send them a job offer they can’t reject!
– Configure servers and expand: as your website attracts more traffic, you’ll have to move from virtual servers to your own fully featured hosting center, and expand like never before.

Considering you guys are likely a modest startup yourselves, when you were researching for the development of this game, did it actually help you realize how you could run your own business more effectively?
Did you run into any surprises when porting this game to switch?
I’m intrigued, though I admit I don’t play a lot of these types of games. I want to ask if there’s any unique selling points, maybe things that stand out about your game that you want to highlight? Are there any game mechanics that you are particularly proud of?
Loved this game on PC. Happy to have it on the go now. Thanks for all the work you’ve put into the title so far!
Can I pull a Theranos or are there ethics involved?
