Game Dev Tycoon lets you step into the shoes of a video game pioneer and replay the rise of the gaming industry from the ground up. Beginning in the 1980s with nothing more than a cramped garage office, you design and develop your first simple titles by hand, learning what makes games shine. As your skills grow, you research new technologies, invent original game types and build custom engines that set your studio apart. Every design choice—whether to emphasize gameplay, storytelling or graphics—can make or break your next release.
