What would you want to see in a space-themed tycoon game?

Tycoons are kinda boring actually, so i want to enhance the gameplay.
My game currently has mining system, collectible loot, claimable builds on some locations and will later have interactive environment, PvP combat, PvE combat. is this enough for my game?

Thats like, literally more effort then 90% of tycoons game. This actually sounds like its actual effort and not just a cashgrab or “Reskin” of others. I’m sure thats more then enough

I think a fun idea would be having one of the final upgrades be a spaceship that launches the player to maybe a moon base or something where they can have a 2nd smaller base.

In short, reliable and responsive developers. Good data store system also. If it’s a big tycoon game, I expect my data to be there when I log in years from now. I want that to last.

There’s this game called deep space tycoon (2?). I used to play it all the time when I was younger. Sad thing is there was a bug when rebirthing that broke my save data. 4+ year save file down the drain. And the real kicker is that none of the developers are active. I’ve private messaged and @-ed on Twitter a lot of them. No response in months.


Other than that…

  • good music and a variety so I don’t hear the same 4 songs
  • different planets (not outlands or whatever with inf planets, but like small curated ones)
  • something I can sink my time into
  • something that reminds me of tycoons from 2016-17 (doesn’t seem to be yours, which isn’t bad, but it’s my ideal thing)
    • nothing wrong with modernizing the genre, in fact I encourage it. Nostalgia is great though. I’ll slap on that no copyright music (candyland, cloud9, etc) and feel right at home.
    • morphs & gears that work
  • that good balance between purchases that get you more money and the purchases for aesthetic or other purposes like combat
