About the Game
With a little help from your uncle, you get an apartment and your first job. But then it's up to you to achieve success and take over New York City any way you like.
Slowly build multiple small businesses, grow them into huge corporations, or carve your own unique path – the possibilities are limitless in this vast business sandbox. You've never played anything like this!
Go from a small apartment and public transport to luxury suites, fast cars and designer furniture. Put your money into investment funds and real estate. Succeed, fail, rebuild. But remember to take care of yourself, sleep and stay happy on your rise to the top.
Do you have what it takes to build your own empire?

Go from nothing to the most prominent tycoon in New York. Start a business, work smart, make it thrive and enjoy your life. How do you want to be successful? How far can you push it? How long can you make it last?

Start your own gift shop, supermarket, coffee shop, law firm, clothing store, liquor store, florist, and more. You decide what success is - whether it’s a single shop, a chain of fast-food restaurants, a huge corporation, or making millions developing websites.

Take out a loan, rent a building, design the logo, renovate the store, get stock, manage your money, hire staff, and build your infrastructure. Soon, you may have to start importing products from the harbour and distributing them through a network of warehouses.

A bigger business means managers. Hire HR Managers, Logistics Managers, and Purchasing Agents. They all need desks and computers, so you’ll need a fancy headquarters.

Need a delivery truck? Travel to a dealer and buy one. Need food? Go to a supermarket, but make sure you have a refrigerator at home. Big Ambitions is a life sim where your character has to physically interact with the world to survive and succeed.


Enter any building in New York and buy it. Go from a small apartment to a dream penthouse in midtown, a luxurious townhouse in Hell’s Kitchen, or a series of skyscrapers. Fill each with furniture that suits your style and standing. Invest your hard-earned cash in real estate to grow your empire. Take over the city piece by piece.


Spend your wealth however you wish. Buy a big SUV, a speedy sports car, or the new luxurious Mersaidi S500. Maybe risk it all at the casinos or put your money into investment funds and reap the rewards.


As you progress, you always need to ensure you get enough sleep and stay healthy and happy. Enjoy the journey, for as you grow older, you’ll discover that money can’t buy you time... or can it?


Big Ambitions takes what you love about the viral sensation ‘Startup Company’ to even greater heights.

Hello everyone!
The response and feedback to our EA 0.11 release has been amazing so far! Your support has continued to energize the team!
GE Force Now
We have found that a small number of players are having some big issues in the new version, and we are investigating that right now! So far, the common factor seems to be users using GE Force Now (GFN). We tested ourselves and experienced the same issues only when using cloud gaming.
If you do experience something strange, please let us know if you're using GFN, so we can pinpoint the issues better!
So, we're sorry for the delay, but if you're having trouble using GE Force Now, this should hopefully be resolved in the next patch!
Changelog
Fixed an issue loading EA 0.10 saves with certain happiness modifiers, would break EA 0.11
Fixed Anselmo help file entry
Fixed some incorrect text localization
Fixed missing translations - a few language translations didn't make it into the previous build, so we fixed that!

Hello everybody!
Today we just have a tiny patch for EA 0.10 to ensure tomorrow's EA 0.11 Experimental release doesn't cause problems between new mods and EA 0.10 blueprints!
Oh yeah - I just said EA 0.11 Experimental is coming! We had a slight delay due to making sure blueprints and mods would play nicely together (thus this patch). But things are looking good and we're just about ready to release the experimental update.
See you tomorrow!
