Game Dev Empire is a game-studio management tycoon/simulator. The run starts in 1980: you begin as an independent dev in the pre-licensed-console era and play through 2030 — new consoles, hardware obsolescence, platform wars and exclusivity deals.
With a cozy paper-and-cardboard aesthetic and pixel-art accents, the game pairs accessibility with deep simulation: a cash-book economy, a market contested by NPC studios, real price elasticity and the ability to design and launch your own console.
