![]() ![]() Game Dev Tycoon, at this point, can almost be considered a classic. It already made its transition to mobile, and it plays great on the Switch. The UI is more similar to the mobile version than the Steam version, but it works well with a controller and plays great in handheld mode. Some games don’t make the transition to Nintendo Switch that easily, but Game Dev Tycoon feels like a natural fit. But if your team finds itself on the rocks, you can always pick up contract work to help make ends meet. Wasting too much money on marketing a dud of a game will actually lose you customers, and affect your business in the long term. Despite Game Dev Tycoon’s casual appearance, careful planning is required to succeed. You run into the red for long enough and it’s game over. If you’re not, you can generate game reports to see what combinations yield the best results, and make the most money. I don’t know if it’s the pop pop pop sound of your developers either contributing design or technology advancements to a game, or the “just one more” feeling you get when you want to see if this specific subject/genre combo will woo reviewers-if you’re able. It’s strange to say but the mechanics are simple, but incredibly satisfying. Next thing you know you’ll have to move into a space with a motion capture studio and enough space for your development team. Eventually you and your team will be moving into a bigger office, too, hiring more staff, and releasing hit after hit. You can also train your employees to increase their skills, from design to technical proficiency. Research is probably the most important task you can assign yourself, or your employees-but it’s not the only one. Research is a major function that opens up new types of games, both graphically and in regards to subject matter. But if you want to unlock that technology, you’ll have to put in the research. Instead of developing games, you can create custom game engines with the most cutting edge technology. The technology you have available doesn’t determine what consoles you can develop for, which is a strange decision. Most platforms eventually become obsolete. Not only that, but you have to keep in mind the console’s age. You’ll have to make an informed decision about the market share of a console-the more market it has, the more money your game can potentially make. As more consoles are released, though, more options become available. What also determines this is the platform, genre and subject matter.Īt first you’ll only have a few platforms to develop for. Determining what to focus on has a major impact on how the game will turn out. To do this you move sliders to emphasize different aspects of development through three development phases. One of the main things you’ll do as a development studio in Game Dev Tycoon is make games, of course. Even though names are changed, there is definitely a glimpse of video game history as you go through the years-Nintendo is switched to Ninvento, for instance. Game Dev Tycoon is a management game where you create a game development studio starting in the 80’s, and working your way through gaming’s major milestones-even creating those milestones yourself. It sounded like it could be the perfect match for the portable console-and it very much is. ![]() That is, until it was set to make its way to Nintendo Switch. I remember I had a really good time with it, but I haven’t thought about it in years. I played Game Dev Tycoon at its original release-which was over seven years ago now. ![]()
