Hosting Tycoon

I am making a tycoon game about running game servers, selling hosting, and writing the software the hosting trade runs on.

First look

The Hosting Tycoon main menu: an isometric room seen from above, just moved into, with a desk, one computer and cardboard boxes, the game's logo at the top left and the menu along the bottom.

What it is

You start with a single machine in a bedroom and grow a business from there.

Three paths are open from the first day. Run game servers for communities and grow them. Buy machines, split them, and sell capacity and protection to other operators. Or write and sell the software the hosting trade runs on: panels, monitoring, backups, billing, protection. You choose which paths to take and in what order, and they feed each other: the panel you run on your own machines is one you can sell to others.

Rivals are active in every area, and every step asks the same question: build it yourself or buy it?
