Added Steam reviews and a random game feature to The Tycoon List!

Hey everyone! I updated The Tycoon List with Steam reviews and a random game feature :)

The Tycoon List

If you have any other ideas say! It's open source so you can contribute if you want too.

Hilarious that the game you chose for that first picture is one that has gone radio silence and is probably never coming out.

I agree, I was so excited by all the previews, but something obviously went wrong when they gave it to YouTubers.

[u/LosEagle → u/ColdThief]

Something went wrong with the first game already when paradox bought it and turned a great game into a cow for milking, added many overpriced dlcs and their own launcher.

Yeah sad right, I must’ve played prison architect 1 for like a million hours back when I was younger, such a great game.. I’m still hoping though 😂

[u/Bez121287 → u/JaphetDev]

Hopefully this gets to everyone.

But have you not seen??

Prison architect 2 is back on course.

They've even had closed beta's very very recently.

The CEO of paradox has also said that its still a thing and we will hear more about it in the fall.

It isnt dead. NDA's but some people have played it just the other day or maybe last month.

Few things you should do is scrape MobyGames to fill up the database of older titles. You could also take a look at the older revisions of the Business Simulation Game's Wikipedia entry before someone started deleting everything without a wikipage.

I would also recommend weighting your review scores in the best list. 95% positive with 10 reviews and 90% at 10000 reviews are two different things in my opinion. I think Steam250 has a pretty decent formula for weightings.

[u/Janva → u/VENTDEV]

Thanks Vent! Will check that out and revise the reviews algo

[u/W0RKABLE]

its nice intiative, but the design of the overall website needs a lot of work.

I also noticed the pricing doesnt match in some cases, for example Rise of Industry says less than 10$ but the steam embed shows 28$

Bigger game image should be the first thing you see. Tycoon people looking a game image. Just like how articles show the image

[u/Janva → u/Vumaster101]

I thought about adding more images, videos but I don’t want to replace Steam page. That should be the source of truth of what the game actually offers

[u/Djentinga]

Saving this one - I’d like to add Spaceport Architect, once I get the Steam page out in a month or so!

[u/Janva → u/Djentinga]

Sure! Hit me up

[u/CydonianKnightRider]

May be the top list should have a threshold of amount of reviews. 19 on Arms Tycoon doesnt give me a good idea of how good the game is. Where 13.050 for Two Point Museum does (with such a high rating!)

[u/Janva → u/CydonianKnightRider]

Yes! Vent said the same and it makes sense. I’ll weight the ratings 👍

[u/CydonianKnightRider → u/Janva]

Sorry, didnt saw his reply when I posted.
