I often hear people refer to Game Dev Story (Kairosoft) and Game Dev Tycoon (Greenheart Games) as the original games that led to a sub-genre of game and software development games. Perhaps they did but the culmination of those early efforts came with Mad Games Tycoon. One thing I never enjoyed about GD Story and Tycoon is how bad the RNG could get and the black box nature of the mechanics which made them feel unfair...

Relaxing fun game development simulator. It has it's flaws but for what it is and the price I absolutely recommend it. The game starts in 1980 in your garage and move on from there. I had a lot of fun before moving on to the sequel, the music loop is surprisingly good. There are many ways to keep the money flowing, the best I found was creating sequels to my IP's and the occasional mmo of them. I didn't much like the...

Now that the game has been released, I guess it's time to give it some attention. According to Steam Spy, this game has sold ~50,000 copies while Game Dev Tycoon (GDT) has over 1mio owners here on Steam alone. In my opinion, this doesn't reflect the games' general quality at all. It's not a perfect game, but a good tycoon sim and a lot better than its direct competitor GDT. I will try to argue what makes this game...

3 out of 5: This game is mere steps from being an incredibly deep masterpiece, but fumbles at the goal line. The game is about the same level of fun as Game Dev Tycoon, which, while fun, will eventually be disappointing after a while if you want a deeper tycoon experience. There are some improvements, but in the end, it boils down to basically discovering the "correct" slider positions for the games you are...

I'm a huge fan of tycoon games and this one is probably one of the best I've played, BUT: Most of the positive reviews were in regards to EA development and developer's response to players feedback, not that much on gameplay itself which certainly has some flaws. After 24hrs of playing this game, I feel a bit dissapointed, and I will try to explain in as much detail as I can. Some of the biggest flaws for me at...
