History

You can find a complete article about the connection of Andris towards computers and games here: http://progorion.com/blog/2017/05/17/computer-tycoon/ Computer Tycoon is a milestone in the life of Andris and Progorion "There are three things in my life that I always had a passion for: Computers, simulator/strategy games, and music. Well, the third is slightly less important in my story now, but the first two had a huge impact on my life. That’s why I joined the IT industry: I always wanted to be a game developer. Unfortunately, my financial background didn’t give me the chance to be a game developer in Hungary, so I went into the business sector and games and game development stayed to be a hobby. I reached over 10 years of experience and became a “solution architect”, but something happened a year ago,- I decided to change my life and chose the creative path. I wanted to give something to the people around me, especially for youngsters. They are late to live trough the computer revolution and all these decades since the IT sector just develops way too fast for that since the 70s. So I’d like to put that into a game. Show a world about games, computers, and about the poor kid’s dream of making a lot of money haha) Computer Tycoon is going to be my first real child. (hey, I’m just burning my career right now haha!) Being a bit more serious, this is my BIG business game now, and I will do my best to deliver." Andris has decieded to put the early access to 05 October when Steve Jobs passad away. "Although Computer Tycoon isn't about Steve Jobs, we cannot deny that he has a big influence on my game by just simply having a huge influence on the industry. Back in the 70s we first had so called "Home Computer" just like in Computer Tycoon. After a while marketing guys thought that they should avoid the expression because people associated it with gaming... So as time passed we got the IBM compatible PCs with replaceable parts. (Well, in fact upgrading from a given CPU to another was very hard and rare, but the marketing guys achieved their aim to make people believe that it's easy)." "And today we have two big class of "Home Computers" that we don't call like that. PCs and MAC. Why? Well, the PC architecture became very famous, meanwhile, the only computer system that didn't follow it and was able to be financially profitable at the same time was Steve Job's Macintosh."
