You will have complete control over every aspect of your company:

From designing and building your offices, acquiring computers, managing employees and attracting clients, to developing software and launching your own websites. DevTycoon offers a rich and immersive experience, where the freedom to create, explore and thrive is in your hands.

Plus, you will not only manage projects, but also the well-being of your team. From basic needs like eating, drinking water, resting or even going to the bathroom, to maintaining a perfect balance between productivity and happiness. Remember: balance is the key to success!

Each employee in DevTycoon has unique skills and traits, which makes each game a dynamic experience full of surprises. Managing these talents, making the most of them or facing their challenges will be essential to achieve success in the competitive world of software development.

Create your own software:

One of the pillars of DevTycoon is software creation. As the owner of your company, you will have the opportunity to design, develop, and customize programs to meet the needs of the market.

Types of Software: You will be able to create different types of programs, from simple applications to complex projects, each with unique characteristics that will influence their appeal and popularity.
Features and Functions: Each software has attributes such as functionality, security, performance, and visual appeal, which will directly affect its success in the market. The better the software you develop, the more customers you will attract!

Work as freelancer:

If you decide to diversify your focus, you can work as a freelancer through digital platforms. Here you will compete with other companies and developers to win third-party contracts.

Submitting proposals: In this mode, you will have to submit proposals for client projects, competing with other companies in the market.
Reputation and Competition: Your reputation as a freelancer will grow as you deliver successful projects on time, allowing you to win larger and more complicated contracts.

Manage your own website:

In addition to developing software, you can create your own website or service platform.

Building and Customizing: Design and build the platform from scratch, choosing servers, modules, and key features that will appeal to users.
Functional Modules: Adding functional modules to your website can enhance its appeal. Some modules allow monetization through advertising or subscriptions. Each module can be developed or improved by your employees, so keep an eye on the progress!
Advertising and Server Management: To make your platform profitable, you'll need to manage advertising, make sure servers are optimized, and keep the site up and running.

Hire and manage

An essential aspect of gameplay is managing your team of employees. Recruiting, motivating, and improving the skills of your workers will be key to your company's success.

Unique Skills: Each employee has skills in programming, design, or marketing. As they work, they'll improve their skills, making them more valuable to your company and to the competition.
Employee Needs: It's not just about their skills, you'll also have to manage their daily needs like rest, food, and even going to the bathroom. A happy employee is a more productive one.
Negotiation and Hiring: During the hiring process, you'll have to negotiate salaries, benefits, and responsibilities. Not all employees will be willing to accept what you offer, so be prepared to negotiate!

Firing and Staff Management: If an employee isn't performing as expected, you'll have the option to fire them. But be careful: firing employees can affect the morale of others and, of course, your company's reputation.

Building and purchasing items

Your company's physical environment also has an impact on your success.

Offices and Equipment: You'll build and decorate your company's offices, purchasing furniture, technological equipment, and other items to help your team work efficiently. Grow your workspace as you go!
Resource Optimization: From computers to servers and software tools, you'll need to manage equipment purchases to ensure your company has everything it needs to grow and stay competitive.

Customize your company and character:

A unique aspect of DevTycoon is the customization of both your character and the company.

Create your own protagonist: Customize your character with unique clothing, hairstyle, traits, and skills. This character will be the one who makes key decisions in the company.
Design your company: Choose your company name and logo, and customize the aesthetic to reflect your style. Your company will grow and expand, so make it unique!

Reputation at stake:

Every action you take will affect your company's reputation.

Impact of decisions: Hiring talented employees, delivering work on time, or failing projects can make or break your company's reputation.
Employee relations: Being a good boss who takes care of his or her team can improve productivity, while being too strict or failing to meet expectations could lead to employee demotivation.

Customizing the game:

One of the great things about DevTycoon is the ability to customize your game to your liking.

Difficulty Settings: Adjust the level of challenge, from a relaxed experience to a complex simulation.
Custom Settings: Configure elements such as economy, competition, and other factors to make each game completely unique and tailored to your play style.
