E-sports Tycoon is an addictive game where you manage & customize a gaming café that is exclusively owned by you. It is a Simulation Role Playing Game (RPG)/ tycoon game.
  • You get to play the role of a manager who not just hires gamers to play tournaments (amateur to pro-level) but also handle a cafe; equip it with the latest PCs, gaming consoles, arcade machine etc.
  • If you loved Game Dev Story, then this is *the* game for you!

What do we mean by upgrading the café?

You get to upgrade the following:

  • PC with CPU, monitor, PC games & Gaming Gear;
  • Gaming consoles with model type, TV, games & gaming gear;
  • Lounge Area:
  1. Update your space to better & more comfortable PC chairs, console couches & couches in the waiting area.
  2. Apart from this, you also can update the lounge area with a little snack bar that also has a soda machine and yummy treats.
  3. It doesn’t stop here. Make your café look beautiful with funky posters on the walls. For gamers who are waiting to use the café, can engage themselves on various arcade machines that you can upgrade your café with.
  4. As if this wasn’t awesome enough, you can even expand the area occupied by your café, as the game progresses. (Think 2 to 3 PC/ consoles , 1 arcade machine, Vs. 20 PC / consoles, 2 snack bars, 5 arcade machines & a plethora of gamers waiting to get into your café!)

But why should I upgrade my café?

  1. REPUTATION: Upgrading your café will improve the reputation of your café amongst gamers & fans alike.
  2. HOST TOURNAMENTS: Initially when you hire gamers, they will be able to play tournaments hosted by international gaming associations. But, as your café expands, you can hold you OWN tournaments within your café!
  3. GET A BETTER RETURN FOR YOUR INVESTMENT! Better quality technology & a swankier ambience for your café, will fetch you more money, more gamers & more money per gamer.

How do I upgrade the café?

THIS INVOLVES SIMPLE BUSINESS MECHANICS: To begin with, earn money from visiting gamers, use up the initial capital to set up the café and progress in the game thereon, based on earning more money from visitors, hiring gamers to play & win tournaments, beautify the café and so on.

This seems like a lot of work (& fun), do I get any help?

  • Yep, of course you do! Bring in a super-efficient manager based on his scouting and gaming attributes. [You get one manager at a time. If you are not happy with his skills, you can fire him and hire another one. Remember you are the boss, ALWAYS!] (See video for reference).
  • Sponsors: Based on the reputation of you café, you can attract some kick-ass sponsors  who will not just bring  in investment meant for, say, land expansion but also improve the brand worth of your café.


Awesome! So how do I hire gamers and form my E-sports team?

  • SCAN GAMER PROFILE: Each gamer who visits your café, has a profile that indicates his/her attributes. Based on this you can hire any gamer/s and form a team for playing games of various genres.
  • HIRE BASIS YOUR GENRE PREFERENCE: Attributes of a gamer imply how well he is playing games of different genres. (See image below for reference) E.g. a gamer may be awesome at arcade games, but may not do so well in racing games.
  • THERE IS SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE! Each gamer can play across as many as 6 gaming genres, that are, Arcade, Sports, Racing, RTS, FPS & MOBA.
  • TRAIN, FIRE, HIRE GAMERS: As the game progresses, you can train your gamers on different games. If you are not satisfied with a gamer’s performance, you can always hire a new one. (We promise there will be plenty of talent out there!)
  • MULTIPLE TEAMS: Not just one team, You can have as many as SIX teams, one for each genre.



We, at Resurrection games completely believe in the idea of providing our audience with “Value For Money”.

While some of our users may like the game idea instantly, some may not be swayed with it almost immediately. (We do hope to woo all of you!)

We do not want our dear users to spend on a game that they may not be entirely convinced with.

That’s why we bring you the COMPANION APP. This is a completely FREE to play game that we will be releasing, so as to provide users with a preview & taste of the real E-Sports tycoon game!

So what does this companion app entail?



  • You get a room, instead of a whole café.
  • You get to create 1 gamer at a time, hire him; train him by making him play games.
  • Raise the ranking of the gamer and sell the gamer for a great price, and earn money.
  • Not just this, but you can see the tournaments being played by the gamer you sold, and his performance level.
  • You can also buy games, gaming gear, upgrade consoles etc. & decorate your room as you like and make it look funky.

    Who buys my trained gamer?

    • Users of the full game, E-sports tycoon, buy your gamer basis his performance, to form a team and play in the tournaments.
    • You need to train and sell a minimum of 5 gamers – to form a team and upgrade your role to that of a manager.
    • But tournaments can be hosted only in the full game.
    • Not just this, but you will also get a % share of rewards as earned by gamers you have sold with respect to whether they win in the tournaments.
    • That’s not all. The gamers hired, trained & sold by you, can compete at the International Level and still be the no. 1 team in the world!
    • Tentative Feature: We are planning an in-game conversion of a "Gamer Tycoon" user to "eSports Tycoon" for a certain in-game money in "Gamer Tycoon".



    WE BELIEVE, THE SKY IS THE LIMIT! And we prove it to you right here, with our expansion plans.

    Own cafes around the world and mark this as just the beginning. Yes, our expansion plan is as BIG and as GRAND as it gets!!

    Key features of expansion plan:

    • E-SPORTS TYCOON GOES “SOCIAL”! Trade gamers amongst your friends & compete with a friend’s team in tournaments.
    • BUY GAMING CAFES AROUND THE WORLD: Conquer the international gaming scene by becoming the richest tycoon in the history of E-sports!
    • HOST INTERNATIONAL GAMING EVENTS:  As the game progresses you will be vested with the power of hosting the biggest gaming events all around the world!


    At Resurrection Games, we are firm believers of Electronic Sports and naturally we advocate gaming as a real career opportunity for young gamers around the world.
    • E-sports tycoon is our way of bringing to life, what we TRULY believe in.
    • We want the users to experience what it is like to manage a team of gamers, to bid on talented gamers, make them compete or stick to business by making their café one of the best in the gaming world.
    • OUR DREAMS FOR THIS GAME DO NOT END HERE. We are a true believer in E-sports and feel that it can be looked at as a viable career option for avid gamers. While in our home country this may be at a nascent stage, but in most other nations, E-Sports are being widely accepted as an actual sport event with gamers enjoying the status of a celebrity within the gaming community.
    • This is why we need YOUR HELP, in raising money to bring this game to life.
    • Of course, we have a number of ATTRACTIVE PERKS for you, to support us in bringing this game to life.
    • Our unique perks are all about connecting with the game by being an in-game character, registering your personalized clan, deciding how the cafe should look or to host a custom tournament which will be played by hundreds and thousands of gamers.

    We are a small team and we carry the same risks of all small game studios: Lesser visibility and fewer marketing avenues.
    • However, we also carry the strengths of a small start-up: Less overhead, no hierarchy and most importantly, passion for our game to see it through to completion and beyond.

    In case, we fail to achieve the targeted funds:

    • Development time may increase.
    • Art style may be subject to change

    We call upon all eSports fans to support us so that we can make it bigger than EVER!!

    We appreciate Indiegogo for providing us with a platform to launch this campaign from India with the least complications. We would also like to call upon kickstarter backers, anyone & everyone who supports E-sports and loves gaming.

    Resurrection Games is a small, 3 member game studio founded in Mumbai, India by former employees of the game industry. After years of working for other corporations and studios, we have decided to embark on our dream project: E-Sports Tycoon: The Game. 
    • We LOVE RPGs, business simulations, and pixel art!
    • We wish to release this title as we think it’s really a cool one and nothing like this has been ever done before!
    • Being avid gamers, we think of promoting gaming with a game, when we think of E-Sports Tycoon.
    • We are already in prototyping stage and are working ahead. But as there is more to finish the product, we need funds to cover other aspects like sound, extensive art/animations to survive this production stage.
    • We ask for your help to meet our goals and help us achieve the true vision we have for the entire E-Sports franchise.
    • We are also collaborating with Gary Lucken from Army of Trolls fame, on the art front. With Gary's 19 years of experience in Pixel art and his love for video games, we feel we have found the right person to make it look exceptionally retro!
