Game Development Tycoon Review
Game Dev Tycoon is the first video game developed by Greenheart Studios and it promises a lot. Take on the role of a game developer, reliving the early years of the gaming industry in your garage, upgrade to offices and beyond, and live in gaming today and beyond!
When you start out, you’ll start out in a garage and as a programmer, you’ll start making your first games during the early years of the gaming revolution. When he starts, he creates your company name, gives his avatar a name, and chooses basic customization options. Once he starts, he can start creating his first game. He will start with 4 random game themes, and once you select your theme, he will choose a genre (action, simulation, strategy, etc.). Once you are happy with your selection and select a console/computer to install, the development process will begin. The development of a game has 3 stages, with 3 sliders for each stage (for a total of 9). These scenarios will have options such as engine, graphics, level design, artificial intelligence, etc. Depending on the theme and genre of the game, certain combinations will value focusing on certain themes more than others. For example, action games favor engine, graphics, and AI for better review scores. Once you are done with your game, the last phase is to debug your game, and having a large number of bugs will affect your score. When you’re happy with the bug fixes and content to publish your game, you’ll soon receive a review score of 4 reviewers. Depending on how well the game is made will ultimately affect your earnings and sales.
Once you’re done with the game, you can generate a report, which will give you valuable information about the theme, the genre, and how the system you select responds to the theme and genre. It will generate research points, where you can research new technologies and new topics, such as custom engines, etc. You can also use research points to train yourself and your employees to improve your tech, design, speed, and research skills. With high enough skill points in fields, you can specialize them in certain fields, like graphics or artificial intelligence.
As you unlock new technologies, you can create your own custom game engine to improve your games. As you move to higher offices, you can employ more workers, gain access to bigger games, even access to research and development labs, and hardware labs to produce your own game consoles. The game features a 35-year campaign that will take you several hours and allows you to continue playing the current game after the game ends if you wish.
The tutorials provided help you learn enough about the game to help you develop your games, but I think a little more explanation or additional tooltips could have been added, but these are just minor suggestions to help the game be a little better in my My own opinion. Overall I find the game to be enjoyable and if you like the tycoon game genre or business simulation then I think you will enjoy the game a lot. For a first game of the Greenheart games, I enjoy it and look forward to future titles.
