About
Our history in few milestones...
2014
Inspired by our careers and the '80s
After more than two decades passed following our passion for Systems Architecture and Software Development, we started to imagine the video game of our dreams...
End of 2014
Our idea starts to take shape...
After few months designing and testing game dynamics, we finally have a Game Design document and a bunch of working algorithms and data models...
2016
The first Crowdfunding campaign
In January 2016 we started a campaign that captivated more than 400 backers. Many of them shared with us their suggestions and concerns and we started to have a different vision of our initial game design. ...it's time to wear the thinking hat once again.
January 2019
A new beginning...
With radical changes in the game design and after having read tons of personal messages from many people still interested in this project, we believe ServerTycoon deserve another opportunity, a better destiny then a zipped folder in a cloud repository.

We've known each other since kindergarten and we share the same passion for technology and the world of videogames. So, after lengthy brainstorming sessions at every available opportunity, or at home during weekends, after playing a board game or after an Arduino session we started thinking about this game. The basic idea comes from our work experiences and from games we used to play in our youth. We always liked Management and Strategy games, let's think about "Ports of Call" we played on our "Commodore Amiga 500" in the mid 80's or back in the early 80's with "Cartels & Cutthroat$" on our "Commodore 64", until the most recent M&S games like "Warcraft" and so on... Why datacenter and servers? This is because we are IT professionals each with about 20 years experience in UNIX and Windows system administration, software development, server farm management, fleet management, project management and, recently, enterprise gamifications. In addition to this we are also driven by a timeless love for vintage computers so we decided, in our own way, to celebrate the history of computing putting all these elements together into just one video game.

remain on your servers:
- the footprint (the network address) if the stolen coins have been already moved on the attacking machine you can try to rescue them, or even just revenge... next time he will remember you ;)
- the script used for the attack use it to understand what was wrong with your defence script, why was it more efficient then yours and learn new defence techniques
- a temporary protection against further attacks coming from that address your firewall will automatically blacklist attacking address for a short period, restore your servers before this basic protection expires!
Attacks and defenses are both based on scripts made of few instructions you can learn in minutes, at the time of game's release a free tutorial will teach you the basics of this art. In the meantime, two starting scripts will be included in your firewall.
