'Tech Corp.' Reveals More Game Details - Screens

by Rainier on May 31, 2019 @ 2:00 p.m. PDT

Tech Corp. is a management sim that features deep customization and management elements never before seen the genre.

Tech Corp. mirrors real-world high-level company management while playing on traditional simulation aspects and key strategy elements, introducing deep branching customization options never before seen in the genre. From managing your factory to developing hardware, software, gaming, and media platforms and apps, to researching new technologies, Tech Corp. is the most complete high-tech biz simulation game around. 

With an in-game timeline starting in the late ‘90s and continuing on into the present year, Tech Corp. challenges players to take leadership of a small start-up. They’ll begin by choosing which country to launch the company, hire employees, develop, manufacture and launch their first product — then the worldwide tech industry takeover begins! Along with the ability to design, produce, and launch a variety of tech products, players are also responsible for taking them through to a successful global launch. Just about everything can be managed and customized in Tech Corp., from the memory space in a console’s hard drive to the logos on the cases for the video games players create!

Along with the design, production, and marketing of products, special apps similar to Steam, Netflix, Amazon, YouTube, and Spotify can be developed. With this, players create games, television shows, movies, YouTube channels, and music playlists for each respective platform — all of which receive real-time comments and feedback from the in-game public. 


One of the defining features of Tech Corp. is the ability to develop and manage online gaming platforms similar to Steam, PSN, and Xbox Live. Not only will you build your own online gaming infrastructure, but you’ll also stock it with awesome games by securing deals with developers and launching your own titles to make the most of your digital storefront.

Tech Corp. mirrors what it’s like to launch and manage a tech biz in the real world, and creating gaming platforms is no different — you’ll step into the shoes of the next prominent digital distribution platform creator — making the executive decisions, managing negotiations, and deciding which games stay and which hit the curb, some of which might even be your own IPs. It all comes down to the success of your startup, though, which means making difficult business decisions, even if some of those decisions go against your moral compass.

In Tech Corp., the digital platforms you develop can be made available on the physical hardware products you create in-game — so the profitability is endless! Tech Corp.’s platform creation features include: 

  • Securing Exclusives: As the manager of your platform, you must score exclusives from publishers and developers by negotiating how much you’ll pay for the game and how long you’ll retain it before it launches on other storefronts.
  • Make That Sale: You’ll need to host frequent sales to keep your customers happy and bring in new users! Pick your target genre and let the games begin! Developers and publishers will flock in to be included in the sale, but beware — without any big-ticket titles, your users are likely to shy away from any future deals! 
  • Make Good with Your Customers: While keeping a watchful eye on your budget, you’ll decide if you want to operate a platform that charges a premium but promises the most popular games, or maintain a stable free-to-use storefront featuring affordable indie games. Keep your finger on the pulse of what users are saying about your storefront and change your business plan as necessary.
  • Look Out For Number One: Securing exclusives, hosting killer sales, and negotiating with Triple-A studios is paramount to guarantee the success of your online platform, but it’s also crucial that you host your own games as well! Design, market, and launch your unique titles and then get them in front of the masses. You could become bigger than Valve!
Tech Corp. invites you to disrupt the tech industry and turn the world on its head as you launch a modest tech startup, beginning in the early ‘90s and taking it through present day, ultimately becoming the next major technology, software, gaming, and online presence superpower. With the world begging for technological advancements, you’ll quickly find that powerful potential is right at your fingertips — but what will you do with it? 

Emulating real-world high-level company management, Tech Corp. plays on traditional simulation aspects and key strategy elements, while introducing deep branching customization options never before seen in the genre. From managing your factory to developing hardware, software, gaming, and media platforms and apps, to researching new technologies, Tech Corp. is the most complete high-tech business simulation game around! 


Key Features:

  • Build a Dream Team: Hire employees based on their skill to design, develop, research, and market your tech — and everything else your company creates! Players manage five employee types, each with their own roles and specializations.
  • Hardware Development: Unlike similar technology business sims, Tech Corp. allows you to dive deep into your product designs - even deciding how to customize the hardware components in your products from the quality of the display to the storage size of the hard drive
  • Software Development: Develop cutting edge software that’s a step above the rest! After assigning them to a software project, your devoted programming employees take care of the heavy lifting, all while you manage progress!   
  • Factory Mania: With an entire factory and the various production elements at your disposal, the ability to choose machines and their production rate is in the palm of your hand (literally)! 
  • Crafting System: A robust manufacturing system leaves you in charge of ordering materials, managing components, creating products piece by piece, and managing project budgets
  • Produce, Release, Repeat: Keep a tight watch on inventory, making sure you have the parts you need, without too much inventory sitting around. Careful project management ensures that products are released and marketed in a timely manner to meet consumer needs — but keep an eye out for poor sales, and be ready to respond!
  • Home Sweet Office: Customize everything in your office from window placement to how close your employees sit to one another. Don’t forget to add a foosball table and television for break time!  

Tech Corp. is set to launch on Steam Early Access on June 20, 2019 for $19.99 USD.
