Game Dev Tycoon-- A hidden indie gem?

     There have been many tycoon games which has brought hours of enjoyment to many gamers and one more tycoon game which I believe can fall under that category is Game Dev Tycoon. Game Dev Tycoon is simply a business simulator game in which you create games, research technologies  and hire staff and hope your games sell well. Starting in the 80s the player begins by making games in his/her garage and as you make more games and money, you eventually will progress to a bigger office and hire employees and can eventually sell your own game console, if you wish to do so. There are many genres of games that you can create, from vampires to action and even multi-genre, and as the years progress so does the gaming technology; and throughout the years you can research technologies to improve the quality of your games. And as you progress, the size of your game becomes larger requiring more skilled employees to help create bigger and better games.

     This game is created by an indie development team called Greenheart Games which consists of brothers Patrick and Daniel Klug. This is a really addictive game which can easily take away hours from your day and keep your heart pounding every time you release a game. It is worth the buy and currently can be purchased for $7.99 USD on their website store, it is available for Windows 7 & 8, Mac, and Linux. The game has also been greenlit on Steam and should be released sometime in 2013. Here is a screenshot of my company we have released a console and an MMO as well as have a R&D department and a team of developers:

Comment below on your thoughts on the game and your progress so far.

Happy gaming,
