Do you think any business types in tycoon games are oversaturating the market, and if so, do you want less of that type or for it to be done differently?

Specific sub genre are. Like the running a store in first person. But others aren’t.

I would say it’s not oversaturation (although there is a bit of that too), but more of a lack of a go-to-market strategy; an ability to let people know about the existence of their cool game. UI/UX can also be a challenge for indie devs.

I’ve seen pretty unique concepts that seemed like they got no traction.

That being said, there definitely is some level of oversaturation, but I don’t think that’s Tycoon game specific. There are something like 10,000 releases on Steam per year and with genAI tools the release numbers seem to be accelerating.
