Using the feature description you’ll choose your staff to make it and allocate your work across these three principles. This feature skills tree is where you’ll spend most of your time, unlocking features for your platform.Įach feature you develop needs tech knowledge, usability and decent aesthetics and you and your staff will have a level skill for each of these (and marketing). Each time you want to develop a new feature, you’ll choose it from the next ones available on your tree and hopefully you’ll have enough staff with enough skill to develop it correctly. You can mix and match and in the long game, you’ll want to be all things to all people – an Amazon if you want. Messaging and chat fall under communication, there’s a whole video section for YouTube styled features and a games shop space to become the next Steam. Here, about 50 social platform traits are banded into groups. The majority of your gaming experience will be inside your tech platform skills tree. If only other areas of the game had this kind of insight running throughout. Interesting, the option to sell out and leave happens very early in the game and the carrot to leave it all and return to a steady 9-5 pops up often. The goal is to beat the competition, make profit and keep some shares in your company long enough to sell them off for a lovely workfree future. You will be the boss and you’ll be hiring a few staff to join you after the initial phase of the game. Really, this game should be called Social Media Platform Panic as your tech company is going to be building one.

It’ll take an awful long time to reach this scale of business.

Sadly, despite some lovely humour and theming, Startup Panic is much more a tinker round the edges affair.

I thought I’d be juggling all kinds of things a startup company would need to succeed on to survive and thrive.
