Pretend like I'm a game dev who came here to ask the question, even though I have no intentions of developing a tycoon game at this time :P maybe I will in the future, but for now, I'm just curious about what people have to say! Reading these types of threads where people share their thoughts and have a civil discussion about video games is always fun for me.

The building / creative part of tycoon games has always been my favorite. Focusing heavily on that would be where I'd personally be interested in.

Random idea off the top of my head is a tycoon game where at a spaceship dock or manufacturer. Designing spaceships and the factory / dock its built in to meet customer needs. Starting smaller craft and working larger and larger.

Billionaire Tycoon.

You start off making a webpage then reinvest in a car company then start building rockets and then try to take over the world.

Needs multiple endings. Maybe we can still get the good one somehow.

I have not gotten to Kerbal Space Program yet, but bolting a tycoon game to KSP would probably be cool. Wonder if they have a mod like that, or if the campaign is like that. All I know is wacky little green people called Kerbals, and very realistic physics even with all the simplifications needed to make a fun game that runs on things that are not NASA computers.
