It seems like a unique type of game. Are there any real-world applications to what you learn or is it mostly for fun?

@samantha_thomas Hello, Samantha! The game is actually quite realistic and can show the basics of website development to those people who are new to this. However, it can’t be called a full-fledged simulator either as there are also some fun components added to it.

Hey ProductHunters! 👋 For more than 14 years, we have been developing services for creating websites (SaaS) and other useful tools for webmasters (a URL shortener, a meta tag generator, and so on). However, this time we found ourselves in a completely new niche for us — game development. This is why, it is especially important for us to get your feedback. It’s not just a clicker but a simulator that can give you an idea of the changes to the way web is approached, and how websites grow from personal sites made using whatever available to large portals and serious businesses — by simply playing a game. In Web Tycoon, you can: - Be the boss of your own team, distribute tasks and budgets, which is a great way to master management skills. - Choose a hosting service, set up ads and take care of content marketing. This will give you an insight into how the web industry works. - Get to the top of themed rankings, making your competitors envy and ready to do whatever it takes to get the top position back. This will boost your survival skills in a competitive environment. - Go up against other players in competitions and exchange links. A nice way to improve communication skills. – Launch DDoS attacks against other players and look for security holes of their websites. Yeah dammit, the game is not all sunshine and rainbows — just like real life! 😈 Soon, we plan to release the holdings feature. Each player will be able to find allies to exchange resources, as well as set and achieve goals together. We've got a bonus 🎁 for each and everyone of the Product Hunt community — 50 game webcoins. Head over to the game bank and apply the promo code PRODUCTHUNT50 to get coins. The code can be used only once per account. 🙏 We'd love to get your feedback and I'm happy to answer any questions.

I enjoyed this game from the simple mechanics to the way it inspired my competitive side by having a global leaderboard. Wish I had more time to play it than 24hrs in a day.

Pros:

Unusual interface, fun to compete with other players on the scoreboards, easy to grasp the concept of, keeps your attention.

Cons:

Can't think of one!

Fun game! The UI is a bit clunky, it takes too long to get back to my website after going to another section. For instance, I found I can click the player icon from their work area to see the employee, but to get back to the website again I have to open the side menu. A back button would be much smoother!

This is almost like like FTL for people who are more into businesses than spaceships. If running a virtual company is your idea of having fun, this is a one-of-a-king game to try. With a little more polish in the UX side and some tweaks with the help of an economics professor and they could easily have this game be used as a simulator on starting-level business management courses.

Pros:

Lots of things to do and relatively realistic. Gives a look at what is life in a webservices company.

Cons:

The interface and overall UX is bit peculiar.
