The meta aspect should be fun: Startup Manager 2016. Actually, the closest existing analog to that would probably be Game Dev Tycoon.

  I would play the hell out of that, just like I did with Game Dev Tycoon!

    Fuck Scrum and the dysentery-spreading zombie horse it rode in on.

  Amazing. Just yesterday some colleagues and I were toying with the idea of creating a game called "Age of Startupts", an RTS game were you have to build your Technology Empire but starting with a simple "garage" and a couple of 'founders'. As part of this hypothetical game you would have to develop technology, by building research centers and creating (sorry, I meant recruiting) Data Scientists and Engineers. As the player keeps expanding, he would pass from the "mvp age" to "seed round age", then to "series A", "series B", "series C", until they get to the holy grail age of "IPO". But as with any good RTS, the player would have to compete with other players. This will mainly be in the form of a priest^WCEO which will travel to the other startups to 'wololo' Engineers and DataScientists so that they work for him. Another interesting option will be, the "secret agent", a guy (Eng, DS or Admin) who you can disguise as a unit from another player and leave in the middle of the enemy's Plex so that he believes that it is one of his units. Once the enemy player starts directing your 'camouflaged' unit you will be able to get new information about the adversaries. Should make an interesting game haha.

    The fundraising part of this game would be NSFW. So you wouldn't get the play-at-the-office crowd that made Farmville what it was.
