FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

One developer, one computer, an AI that's confidently wrong: Solocorn Tycoon is out now on iOS and Android

A satirical idle tycoon about building a startup in the age of AI slop, made by a solo developer in Korea, with AI.

SEOUL, South Korea, November 4, 2026 — Wishclay today announced that Solocorn Tycoon: Build with AI, an idle startup tycoon for iPhone and Android, is available worldwide on the App Store and Google Play. It is free to play, needs no account and is fully localized in eight languages.

The year is 2030 and AI can make anything, so the world is drowning in AI slop. Players start with zero employees, one tiny computer and HALU, an AI assistant who is always confident and often wrong. From a bedroom desk they ship apps and videos, match ideas to trends and find out whether each launch is a hit or gets judged "AI slop". The money goes back into the company: new desks, a first hire, a co-working space, a loft, a tower HQ, branches abroad, a humanoid robot business and, eventually, an office on Mars.

Along the way they compete with parody giants like Slopify, which ships 10,000 apps a day to a grand total of seven users.

Made the way it makes fun of

Solocorn Tycoon was made by one person, SeungWon Yang, working with AI tools: an AI image model for the characters and offices, picked and assembled by hand, and AI coding agents for the code. Music and sound effects are licensed. The game's own joke, that AI can make a draft but someone still has to make it worth releasing, is also how it was built.

Key features

- Ship, then see what sticks. Apps and videos each have their own lifecycles. Update the apps that take off; old hits fade if you leave them alone.
- Hit or AI slop. Every launch rolls against your team's skill, the trend and your idea. Junior staff ship slop more often.
- A team of people, not robots (at first). Pick one of four founders and hire a diverse cast of developers and creators, each with their own skills. The robots arrive later, as a business.
- Hold to hustle. Press and hold a desk to work three times faster. Offline earnings are waiting when you come back.
- From a bedroom to Mars. Five offices, global branches, crises to fix by hand, rival duels and a daily front page starring your company.
- Sell and start again. Exit your company and start over with a new strategy and new story choices.
