Hardware Tycoon is a simulation game where you run your own hardware company and change the market. Right now you can only develop and distribute processors, but many more features are planned.

What's the maximum level you can get?
Right now I don't think there's a cap to it, but even if you could get to a level higher than 3 it doesn't change anything. Higher level means a bit shorter development time, but I need to buff the effect a little
Okay, thanks. Take as much time as you need. I love this game <3
I see a glitch where if you devolop a cpu thats bad and lose profit on it and while doing so you build a cpu thats great and expensive the bad cpu will start making alot more money then it should be
Good game! Can't wait to see further updates!
how close are yoy to the next update?
I don't have my pc atm, I don't know when I will get it back. I have my last exams in a bit over a month so I should have plenty of time afterward.
I'm pretty close, but the things that I still have to do are the worst to work on - they'll take the longest.

10/10
you must play it / download it guys
I just dumb some ideas for you
some more things
a yes, i found a bug. i was playing on very hard. i released a cpu and researched the cheaper production. after that i wanted to make a new cpu but had not enough money, so i hit cancel, after that my current selling cpu didn't make anymore profit instead my money went rapidly down in the negative numbers.
Half of the ideas are already implemented in a very basic form to be further expanded on in later updates. The other half that isn't sounds like it's not necessary to have, but would improve the game experience. Thanks for the ideas and the bug report!
It's a very addictive game, but there aren't anything beyond 1980.
Any news about 0.2?
It's mostly done, but the stuff that needs work really takes a lot of time for me. And the next couple of weeks I'll be especially busy with school, so no progress then. 0.2 should add more content to the game so there's something to do in the later years.
Good concept, but the downtime between available researches is high. Maybe some more options to make different CPU's like instruction sets? I will play through it some more, but for now the winning formula seems to be easy. Just make the best thing you can, and release it, make it again and again untill a new research is available.
There is a writing fail in the window for when you release a new DIP processor. It say's DPI. I hope this game turns out well :) I am looking forward to it!
EDIT:
I have ran the game for almost 10 years without an research available. I would love to see an update to the game :) You are certainly hitting some good notes with it! Keep it up!
Thanks! It's true, the game is lacking some content atm.
Thanks for pointing out the typo too.
its realy fun
its realy fun
its hard
Please tell me you're going to do a standalone, non browser version :D Quite enjoying this
Thanks! And yes, I plan on releasing a downloadable version which should hopefully run a bit better
Excellent, can't wait to see what you do with it. Umm, it peaks out at 2GHz, single core at the moment, is that right?
There is dual core, but very late in the game, and I believe 3GHz is the max but I'm not 100% sure.
Ah, I wasn't sure what was left as I seemed to peak at 2Ghz single core early on and didn't have any research available
It's been over a month. Please tell me there are updates or there are future updates. This is a type of game I love and just ask the community for help.
Please Make the time buttons bigger or add an option I play on my phone sometimes and it's impossible
I'll look into it. I didn't think it would be played on mobile, on PC you can change the speed with 1-3 and 0/space
Thanks
Can you give us any updates about this game? I'm dying for it to have updates!
Unfortunately there are no major news, the update is almost finished but with no major progress for weeks. I'm focusing on school and if I find a hour or so I prefer to spend it on entertainment :\ I hope to get something done on my next holiday, but that's still quite far away. I will post about any news here.
How do we know when an update happens? If there is nothing, can you release something to tell us please?
I don't think there is any way to tell everyone there is an update on the game page, I'll look into it. There were no updates yet though.
Will This eventually be on steam?
I doubt it. I'd need to get the greenlight for 90$, so that's not happening anytime soon.
I like this game of hardware development. I don't have a lot of cash but donated 50 cents (all my earnings from youtube) as some help. XD
Thank you very much! It's not much but it always helps and boosts my motivation. I hope you'll enjoy the next updates too
I don't need any help just now, but thanks anyway!
The game is AWSOME! It's still misses a lot of things, the HUD is a GAME DEV TYCOON rip-off, but the core gameplay, is good. Sure it's not as original, because you guys just use Hardware instead of Softwares, but, it's really good. In these early stages, the game is really fun to play! So just keep it up, keep those updates coming! ;)
Thanks for the feedback! It is still missing quite a lot of features, it's just an early version, so updates are on the way.
I would probably not call it a "Rip-Off", It is pretty much the same as saying that Duke Nukem 3d was a rip-off of Doom
