I think the forced countdown is a bit unfriendly, especially when LLM delays eat the majority of that. Perhaps limit it to X questions.
Also, having a min / max funding range (e.g, min 100K, max 500K). I might not want to wager the same on each opportunity.
It might also be interesting to base it off real companies. Scramble the names (Paypal -> CashMate or whatever. Enough that the player doesn't know for sure what company its based on. ATi vs nVidia for eg), and also allow investment at multiple points in time. Pre-crash vs post-crash might yield significantly different ROI outcomes.
Thanks for feedback. The successful startups are actually always based of real companies for example ClaritySearch = Google. I'll try to make that part clearer.
This is a genuinely great use of LLMs/related technology. Dynamic characters you can have conversations with to make game choices more informed is a really cool idea, actually feels original and clever. I really enjoyed playing it.
nice game - but you need a UX designer. Almost abandoned it since I thought it was broken... I just didnt know what I was waiting for or didnt know where to click.
Some deals I saw "damn the traction is off the chart" and I didn't even care to ask any question I just threw money at them. I saw one startup named Salesforce, a CRM. I guess hindsight is 20/20 on that one lol. Didn't even read the pitch.

Bullshitters have trash or no answers. Killer companies have one of those 3 that is usually very compelling.
"I'm a MIT-trained security engineer; I'm an ex-VP at Paypal, etc..."
I get 3x/4x return on a lot of things but only lose <1x if its a bad investment
Also spam 90% and you're basically guaranteed profit, I did it like 10 times.
