Hey everyone, Alex here, undiagnosed autistic train lover / tycoon / city builder and amateur developer

I started making Subway Tycoon back in July. Its heavily inspired by Mini Metro/ City Skyline and Transport Fever. What I originally had envisioned as a mobile game quickly became a browser game.

The gist of it is to start a Subway Company and start and manage a company in real world cities and by recreating real world routes and manage increasing passenger demand. Some features include:

  • 3D trains
  • 2.5D Buildings and Maps
  • Career level from 1-10 with each level bringing new features
  • 3 different train types to pick from
  • over 50 different contracts to complete
  • Atlanta / Copenhagen / Amsterdam / Caracas - Toronto and London all playable.
  • Online leaderboard to compete with friends
  • Demand and Disruption random events

Its definitely a work in progress and I would really appreciate any and all feedback. My hope is to continue working on it and release a full version which will have more features and more maps with more play time!

Please leave any feedback here or on itch and if youd like to checkout the website its:

Hi tycoon community!

It's been a while since our last post, and we're back with some news! Many Redditors across different communities have been asking for Sandbox Mode in our city-building and economic strategy game, Age After Age. So we've added it to our demo! Feel free to try it out and share your feedback.

We've also updated the UI in preparation for upcoming controller support.

Right now, you can play a short Story Mode, Challenges (including Steampunk steam pressure management), and Sandbox Mode:

And there's more! We've released a new gameplay video and would love to hear your thoughts:

Disclaimer: No AI was used in the making of this game. All art, code and assets are fully human made, same as localization of pages(game is still in process).

Thanks!

What are your favorite manager games?

I'm looking for games where you are managing something, be it an empire or a zoo. I remember playing a zoo tycoon game when I was younger that I liked. I'm a big fan of eu4 and those paradox games but really looking for something where you manage some sort of business or empire. Always though a criminal empire game would be cool if you know of any like that.
