Even one hurricane/tornado/what have you can devastate you, but the game really piles on and makes it impossible to progress if you’re unlucky. Or (and this may not be a bug) you may encounter disaster after disaster, seemingly without end. Perhaps the most frustrating bug is that when you save and exit a game that you had saved up money in the bank, you may return in your next session to actually be in debt.
Unfortunately, this is not a result of the game having a real strategy to follow, but is actually caused by a bunch of bugs that were never addressed. Trying to get your school to be successful is no easy task. Seems counterproductive, but it somehow works. After choosing one of the challenging scenarios or selecting open-play mode, kids will have the opportunity to construct an incredible campus paradise with a wacky school environment. Though your school is ranked on student performance, which can be improved by hiring better teachers, you’ll also be expected to build arcades and mini golf courses to keep the kids happy. School Tycoon sends players on a mission to design, build, and master the Ultimate 5-Star School Empire. These elements aside, it gets tricky because you’re never sure where your income actually originates – either a major challenge or oversight – and micromanaging student and staff happiness can be hard itself.
Your main focus will probably trying to keep your students happy while paying your teachers/staff just enough to keep them without skimping on the campus. The difference here is that there is just a lot less to manage and this title is far less stressful than Planet Coaster, which is introduces a whole new level of stress which I won’t get into. It’s one of the millions of unique, user-generated 3D experiences created on Roblox. Pretty simple premise and entirely relatable to other tycoon games.
The premise of School Tycoon is that you’re put in charge of a school and tasked with brightening up the campus, hiring teachers, constructing new buildings, and keeping the schoolkids engaged all without going bankrupt. No doubt this was done to hopefully get kids interested in tycoon games for when they grew older, and it would seem it did the job because they’re even bigger now than ever.
