Game Dev Studio

Game Dev Studio is for people who like building something from nothing and watching a small office grow into a real studio. The mood is calm, but you have to keep an eye on everything: staff get tired, engines get old, and rivals try to poach your best people. What to expect: - At first, your time goes to furnishing your offices and figuring out which staff members are worth keeping - You can play alone or split your work across several projects and keep everything under control - Engines matter more than they seem: old code starts getting in the way, and you have to decide whether to rewrite it or ship games on top of it - The playthrough stretches out for a long time, since every new office opens up new options You can buy Game Dev Studio as a Steam gift here: send us your quick invite link, the bot adds you as a friend and sends the game to your account. Region: Global, any Steam account region works. Welcome to your own Game Dev Studio! How will you run your own offices and ascend to greatness in the gaming industry? Non-linear progression. Fill the empty spaces in your office with any objects you wish, and when you run out of space, buy a new building to continue expanding! Find the best employees for your studio. Employees have their skills, attributes, traits, interests, and knowledge on topics. Create multiple teams, work on multiple game projects at once, or reach for the stars by focusing all your workpower on one game. Just don't forget that you won't get to keep your employees forever. Rev up those engines. Make game engines, update them with new tech, and revamp them when the code gets too messy! Make awesome games. Employees? Check. Game engine? Check. Now it's time to make great games! Hype it up! Advertise your games through a multitude of ways: invite reviewers for an interview, start a mass advertisement campaign, contact online personalities to create early playthrough videos of your game, hire agencies to shill your game online, and even bribe reviewers! Show your rivals who's boss of this industry. Your rivals are on the lookout for talented developers just like you are, so get ready to fight off their attempts to lure your employees away with higher salaries. Give them a taste of their own medicine and buy them out when they go under! Sway the odds of platform manufacturers. Games you release influence the fate of platform manufacturers for which they're made. Good games will make a platform more attractive to gamers and change its market share for the better. Never a dull moment. Story mode, four extra campaigns, a freeplay mode, and the ability to randomize various aspects of the game at the beginning of a playthrough make for greater replayability. Full modding support via Steam Workshop. Every little bit about the game can be changed with mods, even turned into something else entirely if the modder's skill and patience allows them.
