Start out in the 80s

Start your adventure in a small garage office in the 80s. Enjoy the hand-crafted level design while you develop your first simple games. Gain experience, unlock new options and create your first game engine.

Create games your way

In Game Dev Tycoon the decisions you make during development really matter. Decide which areas you want to focus on. Does your game need more gameplay or should you focus more on quests? These decisions will have a major impact on the success of your game.

Expand your company
Once you have successfully released a few games you can move into your own office and forge a world-class development team. Hire staff, train them and unlock new options.

Make larger, more complex games

With experience and a good team, you can release larger, more complex games. Larger games bring new challenges and you will have to manage your team well to deliver hit games.

Unlock labs and conduct industry-changing projects

Move beyond just releasing games and conduct industry-changing projects by unlocking labs later in the game. There are a number of secret projects that can be completed.

The full game has many more features which are not listed here to prevent spoilers.

Make an innovative game in your garage in the 1980s. Make another innovative game. Rent an office, research new and amazing technology for making more innovative games. Buy a building, keep innovating, and make more games. Buy all your competitors, acquire software patents, indenture programmers, and finally stop innovating.

Developers planted a little surprise in the game for those who would play illegal copies. They are given the simulated gift of knowing what it is like to have your games stolen and all your hard work devastated by game thieves such as themselves.
