Basic Gameplay Information
: Automobile Tycoon is a car manufacturer simulator where you develop, produce, and sell cars. The game is turn-based and covers a period of automotive history between 1905 and 2020.
Mechanics:
- Turn-based gameplay
- Relatively fast (1 turn = 1 quarter, so the game doesn't lag)
- The game ranges from 1905 to 2020 with historical events such as world wars, economic crises, and inflation (can be disabled if desired)
- Different starting dates (1905, 1920, 1948, 1960, 1980)
- Different car types (sedan, pickup, convertible, minivan, etc.) New types unlock depending on the year
Basic Design Goals:
1. Focus on car company management (it's a tycoon game, not a car design simulator).
The game is about three basic activities that a car manufacturer must undertake: car development, car production, and car sales. I tried to achieve a balance between all of these aspects without making any one of them dominant. First, your engineers research parts and develop the car. Then you set up, upgrade, and expand your factory, and finally decide on distribution and marketing. All of these activities are accompanied by secondary activities such as paying taxes, taking out bank loans, and so on.
2. Fast-paced (simulating 100 years of automotive history in just 400 turns)
. I tried to make the game non-lag-inducing. Each turn represents one quarter, so it progresses relatively quickly without slowing down. If you include historical events (world wars, economic crises), you'll need to adapt your strategy frequently.
I also used mechanics to reduce the need for micromanagement and tried to make the interface user-friendly, allowing you to quickly execute your strategic decisions.
3.
Streamlined game flow. While the player is allowed to produce everything, there's an incentive to stick to a limited production line of models, so you don't need to deal with a lot of micromanagement if you want to play perfectly. The interface has options for quickly implementing your strategic priorities. For example, if you want to quickly increase your production, you can enable the "Work Overtime" option, which pays significantly higher wages for a modest increase in output. Especially, introducing new models has been made easier. Simply enter the model price once and set up optional discounts at the regional level. No need to check multiple boxes for identical items and adjust them each time. Minimum
