![]() But you can take your fantasy that little be further with Game Dev Story. Beat the industry at its own game Have you ever wanted to make your own video game? Well, now you can, sort of… Okay, well not really. But it’s exhausting in the most addictive way you could imagine. No, you’re the one thinking of something else. As you continue to grow your games will eventually make it into the hall of fame if they’re of a high enough quality (as judged by in-game game reviewers), you’ll attend trade shows where you can hire booth babes and you can develop sequels to your most highly regarded games. As your games gain in popularity you’ll start earning more cash, at which point you can unload some of your company’s dead weight and hire on new talent. You have to worry about targeting demographics, investing in a specific direction for your game, gaining experience with different game genres and making sure that your staff has enough talent to bring home the bacon. ![]() Game Dev Story’s biggest strength is bringing you into the world of managing a fledgling game development studio and then celebrating its awesome successes as your bank roll climbs into the hundreds of millions. You’ll start with a bunch of level 1 Coders who don’t know a normal map from a Z-axis and you’ll wind up with level 5 Hackers who can churn out an entire game in a single night (not really, but close). Each of these staff members has different job titles and levels of experience and salary all of which can be changed by spending the game’s different types of currency (research points and cold-hard cash).

As you work your way through your 20-year career (you can play longer, but your high score won’t increase) you’ll be treated to many subtle and not-so-subtle jabs at our industry. From there you’ll have to select from a growing list of genres and game types and put development muscle behind specific facets of your game (from the game’s original proposal, to the graphics, creativity and sound) with the hopes that it’ll sell to one of Game Dev Story’s many demographics. Name your studio whatever you like, hire your first set of staff and you’re off to the races.

"We brainstormed how we should deal with piracy and the idea came up that, since we make a game dev simulator, we could hold a mirror in front of pirates and 'show' them what piracy does to the industry. Klug told Shacknews that The Pirate Bay took the game down rather quickly, but not before 3,104 people had grabbed it. "Why are there so many people that pirate? It ruins me!. "Is there some way to avoid ? I mean can I research DRM or something?" lamented one poster. #GAME DEV STORY PC WINDOWS 10 TORRENT#The resulting posts on the torrent site were fascinating. ![]() #GAME DEV STORY PC WINDOWS 10 CRACKED#At the same time, the developer uploaded a cracked copy of the game to The Pirate Bay, a popular torrent site, but with a minor variation: the cracked version allow pirates to crack players games and bankrupt their companies, Greenheart's Patrick Klug said in a blog post (via NeoGAF). Greenheart Games released Game Dev Tycoon yesterday on PC for $7.99. Immortal scorpions are one trick, but the developer of Game Dev Tycoon has decided to give pirates a taste of their own medicine.
