University Empire Tycoon－Idle

I love all of your games, I really enjoy this particular style of "idle" game, so of course I got this one. It scratches the same itch as the others. Only thing keeping it from being 5 stars, IMO, is that the research and building times are way too long, way too early in the game, especially given that students can't use facilities during upgrades, and there's no way to speed up the construction and research aside from spending gems, or increase construction/research slots without spending real money, even temporarily. This is a major obstacle to gameplay progression, especially in early-game when you have only a few departments and classes for students to attend, and severely affects graduate scores. I think the gameplay progression would be massively improved if the construction and research times were significantly shortened for the early game facilities and skills, or if there were some way to shorten/speed up construction and research times without gems (perhaps a research skill, and/or watching ads); additionally, the flow of gameplay would be massively improved if students were able to use the existing parts of the building during department/building upgrades, not to mention that this would be more true-to-life; in real life, people can still use the rest of a building during renovation, just not the part that is actively being worked on.

Love the game-made a couple purchases and I’m nearing the end where I have nothing left to upgrade and will have to stop playing. That’s okay. I just have a few suggestions! 1. A toggle button to drop the roof from all the buildings to see inside all at once. Right now the roofs stay dropped after you click on them and I can have all roofs down at once but I have to individually click them. It would be super helpful when trying to figure out which building I need to go to. 2. An arrow button to slide between rooms in the buildings. It’s done in prison empire and it’s so nice. 3. A zoom out option to see the whole campus. Honestly sometimes I get turned around when looking for a building. 4. If we can hire special “eminence” teachers it’d be fun if we can raise the prestige of the campus by having special students that we can accept to the campus to help us win competitions. I feel like I have everything I need in place right now-65% course difficulty and even with their attitudes at 100% and good grades, we can’t place in the low competitions. If I go to 70% course difficulty their happiness drops under 50. Their time table is also solid. I just ask more guidance on how to win the competitions. I used to get 1st and 2nd all the time and now I don’t place anymore. Also, there is a bug where if you don’t close the app the timer won’t run. I still have an issue with that. I forgot to close the app the other day before I fell asleep and my 2 day research hadn’t budged the next morning!

I love this game and other tycoon games by Digital Things. I have invested money into this game as well. I would be open to investing more money into this game later if the game is expanded. I like things in prison tycoon like doing the challenges and having new areas to build prisons in. I would love to see similar things implemented into this game. I prefer building universities over prisons or hotels. Really I would just love to see different settings for universities. For example once you finish the first university you will move to a snowy university, maybe this new university teaches different things with the main things like science, math, and social studies being the same. You could have a university that looks like it is located in the Midwest that teaches agriculture and equine studies. Then you can have a medical school in Washington where it rains and snows. All of these universities start with the same things then branch into different things. Even better maybe you could choose what you want to branch into. Like once you finish all of the basic classes you can chose what you want teach in the next building. Maybe start with just too choices like “do you want to teach Art or medicine” and expand from there. I have many more ideas but this post is already very long. Thanks for reading.
