Longplay Studios Reveals FD’s Industry Tycoon, a Business Management Sim Played on a 1990s-Style Office Desktop
Build a company from raw materials to the store shelf, outcompete more than a hundred AI-run rivals on price, quality, and brand, and take them over on the stock market. Coming to PC via Steam, solo or in multiplayer. Wishlist now.
Longplay Studios, the studio behind the award-winning survival roguelike Terminus: Zombie Survivors, which has sold more than 150,000 copies on Steam, today revealed its next game: FD’s Industry Tycoon, a business management simulation. The Steam page is live now, and players can wishlist it today.
In FD’s Industry Tycoon, players grow a single company into a global enterprise across dozens of world cities. Open factories, warehouses, farms, and retail stores, buy into the mines and oil wells that supply raw materials, and ship goods between cities and across continents by sea and rail. Run the entire chain from raw material to store shelf, or specialize in one profitable link of it.
The market is shared with more than a hundred AI-run rival firms, each running its own kind of business, from vertically integrated giants to lean retail chains. They compete on price, on product quality, and on brand, expand into new cities, and quietly buy one another out. Players can answer in kind: invest in research to raise quality, build a brand that lets them charge more, undercut rivals on price, or move on the stock market to take a controlling stake in a competitor and absorb it whole.
The whole business runs on a vintage, 1990s-style corporate desktop, hand-drawn in pixel art, complete with an office dog named Kkooni. Players choose a starting decade from the 1980s to the 2020s and play solo against the AI or share a market with others in multiplayer.
KEY FEATURES:
Build factories, warehouses, farms, and stores across dozens of world cities, supplied by mines, oil fields, harbors, and railways.
Compete on more than price: out-research rivals on quality and outspend them on brand, or simply undercut the market.
Take over the competition: buy shares on the stock market and absorb rival firms whole.
Face more than a hundred AI-run companies, each pursuing its own business model.
Run it all through a hand-drawn retro interface, solo or in multiplayer.
“FD’s Industry Tycoon is the kind of deep, systems-driven game we love, dressed in the look of 1990s office software,” said In-geon, lead developer at Longplay Studios. “Every rival is running a real business of its own, so the market never stands still.”
FD’s Industry Tycoon is coming to PC (Windows) via Steam, with planned localization in English, Simplified Chinese, Japanese, and Korean.
