We wanted a game development simulation which would be less random, more about your choices and a little more realistic. Game Dev Tycoon was inspired by Game Dev Story (by Kairosoft), which was the first ‘tycoon’ game we enjoyed playing on the iPhone however, from the start, we wished the game would work and look differently.
You seem like the kind of person who would appreciate the game development game genre, which is awesome. Our first game to test the waters was Game Dev Tycoon, a tycoon style game where you can start your own game development company in the 80s. Better in some areas, possibly worse in others, and i've been playing Gamebiz 2 forever (which is free) and Gamebiz 3 just came out (about 19, but a demo is available).
GAME DEV STORY PC STEAM WINDOWS 8
However, I happen to love Game Dev Story, and will totally pay for this once it isn't Windows 8 exclusive. Playing the demo it feels a bit deeper then Game Dev Story, but it is basically the exact same game. Anyone who bothers to look a bit closer at the game will realize that it's not a clone, that even features that might look similar work differently and that the word 'carbon copy' can't possibly be justified.Īnyway, we were always open that the game was indeed inspired by Game Dev Story, as our About page states: Very much a PC version of Game Dev Story. We don't mind criticism at all, though I would argue that the random and repeated accusations of rip-off, clone or 'carbon copy' are not much of a criticism.
