Hi, I have no idea, hopefully in august but I can't say for sure. Add the game to your collection and you will get a notification when it gets released. Try other games too. Processor Tycoon will get an update soon that might be fun.
I like it a lot! Great game and I have 3 suggestions. 1) can you allow the player to make their own console? and 2) can you allow the player to negotiate down the fees of publishers and finally 3) Allow the player to forcibly discontinue games and break the contract but with a punishment like a fee or something, otherwise, I found no bugs in my playtime and it was a nice experience
I'm in 1981 and there hasn't been a new console able to run a game I wanna make yet :( I want to make a max graphics, first person 3D Multiplayer Action game, or in other words COD
Hi, Recently that same bug was reported on Discord. Unfortunately, I don't have a solution for it. If anyone else has the same issue please let me know.
it depends on what you want to say but if you wanted to say I'm good then it would be (soy)me (Bien)good but if you are trying to say very good that would be (Muy)very (Bien)good
suggestion: able to buy other game studios, able to make a publishing buisness / buy them so we can like self publish but we are the company. able to do some optimizeations. (srry for bad english)
Yeah self-publishing is very very very very very very very very... broken(can you imagine the YouTube title like I made 1 billion dollars in a year in tech Giants lol)
We need a lore like are all these game companies in the same universe just like a little bit extra nothing like making it all story focused just to make everything make sense (also why isn't there multiplayer actually I get it's a web game but still how has nobody suggested that yet)
Multiplayer was suggested on Discord, I have experimented with the idea. However, its expensive to run servers, the only way I can see it happening is by allowing players to self host servers.
would you mind explaining what each of the icons mean under the game development sprites bar? Like audio engineering, ai, writing, etc. I don’t don’t know which icon is which skill
Wow, you counted them? It warms my heart that someone took a closer look at the numbers. I spend a lot of time reading old sales figures and magazines to make it as historically accurate as possible.
ah GREAT! Ready for the ps2 :) also if you make a Wii type thing you should make it so you need to pick if you need to use a nunchuck or motion controls or none, that would be great
Why not, right now I'm reworking the simulation part of the game. If anyone has any suggestions for new genres or themes for the upcoming version, please do share your thoughts.
after reading this I made a studio, immediately leased all the offices, and then hired as many employees as i could, and then made a bunch of AAA games that were all made in like a day, and got 16 million dollars by 1979
every time I go to play the game, the game went 500 error or idk stuff with white text on background black, is it because of my wifi, maybe I think this game require wifi?
The web version does require WIFI, but if you are running the Windows version, it does not. In any case, there is not much I can help with error code 500, as Ray_the_man mentioned the Itch.io servers might have gone down. Other than that, you can try these steps:
For web version:
Make sure WIFI is on.
Make sure you have a Chromium based browser.
Open the game in a private tab/mode.
For Windows version:
Try reinstalling the game. When prompted, choose the "Uninstall Tech Giants" option.
Check "Delete the application data" (this will delete your saves).
wait, can you make offline game, For example. hardware tycoon/processor and eaglercraft and others boring game with no multiplayer loaded doesn't require wifi. If big tech doesn't have any multiplayer, then why big tech require wifi?
The game does not require a constant WIFI connection, it only needs WIFI to load the game. On browsers, the browser cache will get cleared either because you opened a lot of tabs or because your computer ran out of memory. Regardless, the game needs to be reloaded, which requires WIFI. That's how every browser game works really, unless they are built in a way that stores the game files for offline use, but I would think that's quite rare and has its own problems.
The game will have a Linux version in the future. However, as you mentioned, you run the game on a school computer, which means you probably can't install any apps on it because of admin privileges.
I did that when i loaded the game beore wifi go bye, it only last about 5 min because of 500 error, so. why don't you just make offline verison when 2.0 released?

Thoughts on this?
A veryveryvery good game!!!!
Thank you, I'm glad you like it.
I have a suggestion that can make it better: maybe you can let player to develop his or her own platform in further update
(It doesnt matter if you dont accept, i've already add it to my collection)
I'm in 1981 and there hasn't been a new console able to run a game I wanna make yet :( I want to make a max graphics, first person 3D Multiplayer Action game, or in other words COD
COD in 1981!? I want to see that speedrun
Fr
Meanwhile in 2025
We're proud to announce our newest call of duty game Call of duty 62 : we've ran out of names
Only problem is I can't max out all the graphics, I want AAA COD in 1981 lemme do it!!!!
just playing the old tech giants, i love the 1.3 title screen!
Yeah I love it too, it was an adaptation of a photo by Chris6d, I believe there are some links in the credits.
when I click play it just shows a black screen. I'm on chrome

The older versions work just fine it just the 2.0 version
hola
Hello!
HI!
¡Soy Bien!
muy bien?
or just mi bien!
I guess Duolingo is wrong then because isn't mi in Spanish im (or wait is it me if so then that doesn't make sense hmmmm)
it depends on what you want to say but if you wanted to say I'm good then it would be (soy)me (Bien)good but if you are trying to say very good that would be (Muy)very (Bien)good
suggestion: able to buy other game studios, able to make a publishing buisness / buy them so we can like self publish but we are the company. able to do some optimizeations. (srry for bad english)
Yyyyyyeeeeeessssss
Man that is one buggy game
Also self made billionaire from one game :D (technically there's four but I basically made all my money from one game)
Yeah self-publishing is very very very very very very very very... broken(can you imagine the YouTube title like I made 1 billion dollars in a year in tech Giants lol)
I once had 1.2m bugs, ended with 0 I had 50 programming score total
Huh
I thought you meant the game in game not the game itself lol
I did :p
We need a lore like are all these game companies in the same universe just like a little bit extra nothing like making it all story focused just to make everything make sense (also why isn't there multiplayer actually I get it's a web game but still how has nobody suggested that yet)
Multiplayer was suggested on Discord, I have experimented with the idea. However, its expensive to run servers, the only way I can see it happening is by allowing players to self host servers.
I'm trying to add a pinch of storyline in there, I hope you can playtest it when it's ready.
I'm starting to burn myself out on the game soooooo I'm just going to start answering questions I hope you all understand :D
(Okay maybe I lied a bit but I'm definitely burning myself out)
would you mind explaining what each of the icons mean under the game development sprites bar? Like audio engineering, ai, writing, etc. I don’t don’t know which icon is which skill
Do you mean these? They represent feature categories.
That's fun you should put it in the game. A how to play menu or something would be nice.
thanks, that helped. I thought the graphics icon was for design or art, and I was getting really confused
2025 :)
YOU'RE IN THE FUTURE!?!?
yes….
2010 :)
How can i self-publish games? That option is not available
If my memory serves me correctly, you can only self-publish PC games
question? Are the consoles in this game picked by you to be popular?
Like some consoles won’t sell well and rebellium picks like “that console will be popular” or is it random or smh
It's the exact same down to the same thousand at most
Wow, you counted them? It warms my heart that someone took a closer look at the numbers. I spend a lot of time reading old sales figures and magazines to make it as historically accurate as possible.
:'D
I kinda noticed how the Orange II would always get like 35k and it annoyed me because it was powerful but hardly sold
The console units sold reflect historical figures, With some margin for error and a little of randomization.
ah GREAT! Ready for the ps2 :) also if you make a Wii type thing you should make it so you need to pick if you need to use a nunchuck or motion controls or none, that would be great
horror would be a good game type 👍
Why not, right now I'm reworking the simulation part of the game. If anyone has any suggestions for new genres or themes for the upcoming version, please do share your thoughts.
8 games at once 😈 (and no not like “game 1” no it’s “Motorsport 4” or smh
Thanks so much for the screenshot
:)
I WANT TO SEE THE NAMES D:<
what does game game scale change
It makes the game bigger (require more points per feature) at the cost of development time.
but what good does it do
Bigger games generally sell more copies.
Generally!?!??!????
after reading this I made a studio, immediately leased all the offices, and then hired as many employees as i could, and then made a bunch of AAA games that were all made in like a day, and got 16 million dollars by 1979
Try self-publishing ;)
In the year like 2013 or smh there should be social media ads
Yeah, When I expand the game content into the 2000s I will add that.
W
there should also be internet ads, like banner ads on websites starting in the 90s or something
Yes, Good suggestion.
So how is this going RN
every time I go to play the game, the game went 500 error or idk stuff with white text on background black, is it because of my wifi, maybe I think this game require wifi?
Could've gone down (500 is internal server error but I'm not working in backend)

I can only say it will be before GTA 7 comes out 😄
:P
