it's because i use Heroic Games Launcher for organization of native games, that's is why i need the game logo, for application in Heroic Games Launcher, he simply a lot good for organization, and he count with the support for Discord Rich Presence
I think the next patch might be the full 0.2.0 release, but I'm not sure yet when it's coming. That said, there will be a new beta on Discord in a few days
Eu amei de mais esse jogo e eu gostaria de saber se eu poderia trabalhar nesse jogo junto de você.
Infelizmente não tenho nenhuma experiencia em programação, mas é só você me dizer qual ou quais são as que devo aprender que eu aprenderei rapidamente. Eu quero muito ver esse jogo evoluir.
E sei que não faz muito sentido em um jogo com o nome de Processor Tycoon, mas eu gostaria de expandir o jogo a um nível que contenha:
GPU
RAM
Placa Mãe
Entre muitas peças outras de hardware
Obviamente eu irei seguir as instruções de tudo que você pedir, mas eu também, com sua permissão e se eu puder trabalhar no jogo também, dar ideias.
E salário, dê ser quiser, por mais que esses tempos estou querendo pegar um PC Desktop (atualmente tenho Notebook, ruim, mas roda esse jogo), só de conseguir experiência no desenvolvimento de jogos e de evoluir esse jogo já basta.
Great game, I've spent way too much time on this. My biggest complaint is I play on very hard and the only way I can play is saving on december and trying to get a contract, failing, reloading, failing, etc. until it works.
The auto sign contract/auto cancel aren't helping especially the first year when every contracts are slightly more demanding than my production capacity. We should be able to send offer then confirm.
Maybe: send offer, next month, getting accepted/refused by the client, confirming + a checkbox for auto-confirmation ?
But yeah, Very Hard requires a lot of min-maxing and luck. One possible strategy is to make a good enough chip for Industries, research 76mm Wafer as soon as possible, build one 51mm production line, and hope that you can sign a console or computer contract (since they ask for a small number of chips)
am i just dumb/suck at this game or is it impossible to play on 1975? i dont see any way of making money, making a chip makes me bankrupt, theres no contracts or anything to do other than get bankrupt
On normal difficulty, you can start by making a CPU with minimum die size and maximum frequency with overclock, priced around $199 (increase or decrease the price if needed). That should give you enough money to research better tech for your second CPU
There's a bit of luck involved, since you're competing with other companies for the contracts. You can try sending offers to as many contracts as possible, that way you have a pretty good chance of signing at least one.
Also, make sure to enable the "cancel offers" automation, to avoid signing contracts that exceed your production capacity
Ever since the 0.1.18 I have had a very hard time making any progress in the game, i have made cheap expensive and mid level CPUs and just go bankrupt in under a year
Overall the game can be fun and there's potential. I think it could make it to Steam of nicely polished.
Make a small tutorial.
Contract negotiations. That would be a good deal. Like opening a negotiation with a company. How many factories you could assign to them, price and other. Imagine more like FIFA contract negotiations (not exactly like that, but you get the idea). Also, contracts starts at Jan 1st. Not really realistic, because, sometimes, console companies and computer companies are hungry for the chips. So, why waiting when a chip manufacturer can deliver?
The "Inspector" tab is awesome. Why can't we compare to other manufacturers? Just make a "Compare" button that puts chips next to each other (more like GSM Arena does).
Just like in the first game, researching more "core clock" doesn't make any sense. The core clock e.g. My Ryzen 5700X3D isn't 4GHz because AMD is not putting more effort in researching better clock speeds. It's a thermal limit, which is in the game already. The clock speed should be thermal limited and not research limited. That would be realistic.
CPU Core's - While the fact that research was needed to realize that we can put more than 1 core / chip it's a true fact, anything past that is not ... realistic. Research should be something like Multiple core's unlocking (maybe 3 stages ; 2 cores; 4 cores; all cores). Usually the amount of cores put into a system is defined by power consumption and thermal limits. Also, Multithreading could be a tech. (Intel Hyperthreading ; AMD SMT)
CPU Cache - Don't limit it by research. It doesn't make much sense doing it so. Most of the times, the limits are price and size (e.g. Does this much Cache fit into the chip?) so why having a research limited Caching System?
Make sure to implement ASAP a Bank and Marketing Tabs. Even basic ones are much better than nothing.
If you need help with design or anything reach out to me or DM me.
Please let us review Contracts before signing them. If I send 10 offers and all 10 accept I'm screwed, but sometimes only 1 accepts, and I'm screwed too if I don't send enough offers^^
Would be nice to have a popup overview with all accepted Contracts offers returned and I can see my current & future production capacity and current CPU stock so I can choose the contracts I want with checkmarks to sign.
When you are bankrupt it would be nice to be able to sell Factory lines and retire CPUs with stock as a last ditch effort to pay the bills.
Also I'd like to see the statistics in the end screen to figure out what went wrong (contract fines or absurd production costs), still be able to use inspector etc.
Maybe a graph of all other companies compared to yours over time too. And your best and worst CPUs Money wise and popularity.
Damn I used to excel at hardware tycoon but I suck at this one. How do I even start? I begin on normal mode, design my first CPU and go bankrupt shortly afterwards. If I choose 10um litography the product barely can get any contract, if I choose 6um I get contracts but can't satisfy the production before going bankrupt. In either case the hardware sucks compared to the competition and doesn't make money even if I lower the price. HELP!
Great game although the late game balancing is a bit off as you can make DIPs in 2000 for a fraction of the cost of PGAs whilst still having high MIPS for contracts.
glad that you are! btw, Hardware Tycoon game has stopped receive updates, were you like competing with it or no? and willl you add GPUs? like you can choose gpu tech tree and research it? i know some replies will say "ITS A PROCESSOR GAME!" so i say that GPU processor too (Graphics Processing Unit)
damn this is good compared to hardware simulator, the factory manager is a nice feature but a bit unbalanced and auto thing is essential but its very buggy. the end game is very bad, like i could max out frequency over Die size with better performance/price and didn't put any cache cause i could and it wasnt worth the price.
Some requests:
-better contracts ( add side effects and buffs, make them feel more important/complex and certaintly less common)
-More profound customer, media prefrences ( not just bigger/more expensive ).
-Whole economy balanced (it should more focused on the demand than on the supply, instead of artificially creating demand with new and expensive technology we react by the demand of poeple and entreprise)
-Fix the end game (maybe competition could artificially speed up sales instead of just going bankrupt)
Somewhat enjoyable. Major gripe is that research project numbers don't line up with their result. Also temperature research project does nothing (stats menu says safe temp 182 degrees, but new processor says 95 degrees)
Edit: Project numbers not lining up extends past the temperature.
Also is it me or one can't really beat "EMD" in the current version. They developed 14GHz+
From what I see I can achieve even close to that in the research tree, does that mean we are all doomed to eventually lose to "EMD" in the current versi?
Yeah but even with that you can only make little progress. each time I put billions into that I only get like 0.3+ MHz while he competitor is increasing by 5MHz which is not just something you can keep up with
great game, its cool to see a more specialised tycoon than crank everything to max and win with the different markets. i understand that it's supposed to be arcade-y, but it would be neat to see a slighly more realistic depiction of RAM. say, SRAM is a much higher cost option for cache than DRAM, but has a much smaller negative to MIPS. no stress if its not your idea for the game, but it would be a neat feature to see!
to add something else, adding cache becomes completely irrelivant after passing the ~100k MIPS mark, so it would be good to see it as more of a %MIPS loss reduction, or a a more enhanced version of the existing system
what am I losing money on I sell my CPUs for a profit and make more than my production lines cost but I also am not doing reaserch but I am losing 200 million a month
you can get a breakdown of your finances if you click the bit at the top with your net income. you'll have to pay a fee for every line for maintainance, which sounds like your issue. there's currently no way of getting rid of excess, so just try and picking up as many contracts as you can to fill them out
Does anyone have any tips for getting past 1987-1990, in 1987 Inlet releases a new chip that terminates most of my contracts and causes sales to plummet.
even with that you still lose, i played this strategically and it was only me and "EMD" left in the high end and mid range space, but no matter how much customer research I do EMD keeps increasing their CPU speed by like 5GHz when I can only increase by 0.2 Ghz so you cant catch up to them and eventually lose
hey is this game still in development? and if It is I would recommend adding a tutorial to explain a bit of it and make sure people can understand what they are doing

I know this is lame but how do you activate cheats because I cant use them
I haven't added cheats yet, that's why the option is disabled!
thank you
i need redownloading the game again, all for one picture, the game logo
it's because i use Heroic Games Launcher for organization of native games, that's is why i need the game logo, for application in Heroic Games Launcher, he simply a lot good for organization, and he count with the support for Discord Rich Presence
We want to have a Discord!
When next patch coming?
We do have a Discord, here!
I think the next patch might be the full 0.2.0 release, but I'm not sure yet when it's coming. That said, there will be a new beta on Discord in a few days
I'll go right now. Yes, I had to use Google Translate -_-
But I'll learn English this year or near the beginning of next year.
done, i entry in discord server
and no, i don't using google traducer for now, and yes, i need practice more my english

Muito obrigado por criar esse jogo.
Eu só criei conta aqui no itch.io por causa do seu jogo, querendo participar dele.
Infelizmente eu não irei ter muito tempo para ajudar significantemente no jogo, mas quando eu tiver, irei dar o melhor que eu conseguir.

Agradeço pela ajuda, mas no momento prefiro desenvolver o jogo sozinho!
Ok, obrigado por responder.

I can never get a contract signed well not in time anyways, any tips?

Also, make sure to enable the "cancel offers" automation, to avoid signing contracts that exceed your production capacity
how do you even make it past 2010???

immediately ran my company into the ground. lost a hundred million in just under a year
Damn I used to excel at hardware tycoon but I suck at this one. How do I even start? I begin on normal mode, design my first CPU and go bankrupt shortly afterwards.

are you selling high end or industry? i think in normal you have the same technology as other industries while in easy you compete with high end
question: is there a way to enable cheats? I thought it was possible before the update but I could be mistaken
Cheats are not implemented yet!
that makes more sense, thank you!
Great game although the late game balancing is a bit off as you can make DIPs in 2000 for a fraction of the cost of PGAs whilst still having high MIPS for contracts.
kill inlet early and fast
why should i sign contracts they seem to take all my mone
i have figured out why it gives money for productio
guys, i think he left the project.
I'm still working on it!
glad that you are! btw, Hardware Tycoon game has stopped receive updates, were you like competing with it or no? and willl you add GPUs? like you can choose gpu tech tree and research it? i know some replies will say "ITS A PROCESSOR GAME!" so i say that GPU processor too (Graphics Processing Unit)
GPUs will be added, yes. But I need to add architectures and coolers first!
when next update also great game
0.1.17 is coming in 1 or 2 weeks, but you can already play the beta on discord
___________

I wish there would be more than just CPUs, also GPUs or other stuff would be nice
Make next update pls
I agree
Somewhat enjoyable. Major gripe is that research project numbers don't line up with their result. Also temperature research project does nothing (stats menu says safe temp 182 degrees, but new processor says 95 degrees)
Edit: Project numbers not lining up extends past the temperature.
temp cap is 95 degrees
it would be interesting to see a market for ai in the 2000 because that is pretty big right now
Is this game inspired from Hardware Tycoon?
yea
when is the next update?
You can play version 0.1.12f1 from the discord server, which is part of the 0.2 beta
sexy
Greate game! I search for a long time a game about developing hardware and it's really great!
The game just need some update to continue playing after 2000's
I'm glad you like it!
when will it update do you know
when will the game update
Please when is the next release to come out!
Also is it me or one can't really beat "EMD" in the current version. They developed 14GHz+
From what I see I can achieve even close to that in the research tree, does that mean we are all doomed to eventually lose to "EMD" in the current versi?
idk how long it'll take for the next update but there is some beta builds you can download from the discord.
how doi join the discord
https://discord.gg/UVbngJw3
Should be this but there is also one below more information
use the research project button
Yeah but even with that you can only make little progress. each time I put billions into that I only get like 0.3+ MHz while he competitor is increasing by 5MHz which is not just something you can keep up with
I agree there's no way to get any thing done with projects their just to expensive
Do you have a Patreon? Would love to help financially.
I don't have a Patreon at the moment
great game, its cool to see a more specialised tycoon than crank everything to max and win with the different markets. i understand that it's supposed to be arcade-y, but it would be neat to see a slighly more realistic depiction of RAM. say, SRAM is a much higher cost option for cache than DRAM, but has a much smaller negative to MIPS. no stress if its not your idea for the game, but it would be a neat feature to see!

what am I losing money on I sell my CPUs for a profit and make more than my production lines cost but I also am not doing reaserch but I am losing 200 million a month
have you checked that you've not given more lines than you have to contracts? they'll fine you if you can't keep up with their demand
I have more than enough lines and there on production for everything and I still have extra
you can get a breakdown of your finances if you click the bit at the top with your net income. you'll have to pay a fee for every line for maintainance, which sounds like your issue. there's currently no way of getting rid of excess, so just try and picking up as many contracts as you can to fill them out
Will it be possible to make your own sockets and IHS?
Yes!
Does anyone have any tips for getting past 1987-1990, in 1987 Inlet releases a new chip that terminates most of my contracts and causes sales to plummet.
focus all your money on developing the pla tech in 1986
pga not pla and focus earlier (around 1983)
ok
even with that you still lose, i played this strategically and it was only me and "EMD" left in the high end and mid range space, but no matter how much customer research I do EMD keeps increasing their CPU speed by like 5GHz when I can only increase by 0.2 Ghz so you cant catch up to them and eventually lose
skill issue
It would be nice to add a tutorial in-game or in the description in the next update. Other than that it's a great game!
hey is this game still in development? and if It is I would recommend adding a tutorial to explain a bit of it and make sure people can understand what they are doing
The game is still in development, yes. Thanks for the feedback!
Holy shit, Hardware Tycoon 2 is real
i cant wait for 0.2
Can we get more updates please
They're working on one large update rather than a small update, a Month or so ago they said a few months so likely 1-2 months until the next update
i don't want to be the guy that criticizes everything but... it's over 2 months now, and they said nothing yet about a release date or something.
It was the 14th of Jan this year when they said a few months
ooh.. okay
They don't have a specific date for the update but in discord they said "Hopefully the first playtest will be out by late March"
