What's New in Drum Corps Tycoon

2020.10.2

October 16, 2020

In This Update: -Bug squashing! The main focus of this update was to fix some bugs in the game. -Stats panel beta! Located in the pause menu, the game now tracks info about the player during each season. This is still very basic and does not include scores from each season yet. (scores and more stats coming soon!)

Very Addicting Game!

I found out about this game from an EMC Productions video, and I thought Iโ€™d try it out. I never thought a game like this would be so fun to me, especially the attention to detail about drum corps. Even the corps that won at championships that year, in the game, was accurate too!

One thing Iโ€™d like to request is to make the game play for longer, or play for as long as you want. You start from the 2000 season and end at the 2019 season. This is fine, but I wish I could play more seasons, like not going into the future but the option to start your corps more in the past. For example, you can have the option to start at the beginning of DCI in 1972, or pick your own year to start from, like 1982 or 1995 or whatever. It would also be great to update this game to make it include the 2021 season, 2022 season, and possibly the 2023 season (depending on when this game is updated).

Overall a great game, I just wish more could be added to it!

Great game

I really do enjoy this game but now for months itโ€™s been stuck where I canโ€™t continue on with the group I currently have. I might have to start over to fix this problem.

Seems great, just wish I could pay...

I got this game around a couple months ago, and Iโ€™ve done everything from re-downloading it, to resetting my phone to try and get it to work, but it just will not work. It shows the lothype.com screen, the unity screen, then goes black and either nothing happens, or it crashes. For reference, I am using an IPhone 6 running iOS12.4.8.

Scores

This is a nice game. Worth the price. Just be sure to fix those score inaccuracies soon

Addicting

I really like the game and got addicted to it from the first time playing. This game has a lot of potential to be something bigger. Though i found a little bug where im in my 7 season and cant buy new caption heads. Hope it gets fixed soon
