About Game Dev Masters
Community Driven
As a full time solo developer I highly value player feedback and suggestions. Come join a growing community and leave your mark on this game and all my future games by joining the games discord. Links found on the store page as well as in game.

Basic Info
In Game Dev Masters you play as a brand new solo developer in a modern 3D office. Train, Research, Acquire Skills, and create best selling games using over 4,000 Topic + Genre Combinations.
In Game Dev Masters all the data you have gathered is made available to you during game development. You will need to make critical decisions on how to spend your time, as well as meet all the minimum requirements that dynamically change as time passes based on your audience's expectations.

Advanced Info
After you have released a few successful games, you can progress to additional offices which lets you forge your own world class development team. Every team member has their own stats, skills, and specialties. Improve and use your team as you see fit.

When you are ready for the big time. You can acquire subsidiary companies from the 15 dynamically generated AI competitors. Form your own conglomerate, and use your studios to make games for you, or work with them on AAA projects. Each of your acquisitions can be trained, invested in, and specialized.

Competitive Replayability
Many elements of the game are being generated for you on each new game. You cannot rely on guides or previous results to create your games. You will need to think logically, and engage with the many in game systems to overcome the challenges that come with each game you create, and these challenges will increase as you progress.
Every new game is different, and you will always have to make good decisions if you want to climb to the top of the Global Leader Boards, and earn a spot in the permanent Hall of Fame.
Game Seeds
In Game Dev Masters you can make a choice between a completely procedural generated world or, one based on our reality.
In a procedural world, you can not predict what game types will match well with what genre's. Instead, you will need to use in game tools to learn what works, then design games within these rules unique to your play through.
In a realistic world, matches attempt to mimic our real world gaming industry. Using your knowledge of the real world, you can make decisions as to what topics will match with the genres and targets. Or make use of in game tools.
No matter what Seed you choose, the requirements for some aspects are randomized, and you will need to make good choices during game design, as well as properly manage your team.

A Challenge Awaits
As you continue to grow your company, and progress to larger sizes of games. They will each come with their own additional levels of complexity, difficulty, and additional features. Leading up to the most elaborate and engaging AAA game design experience ever created in a tycoon game.
You will need to make use of everything available to create masterpiece 10 / 10 AAA Games. With a focus on an engaging end game combined with multiple scoring systems, and global leader boards. You will truly be able to stake your claim as the worlds greatest Game developer.
As the years go by your video game audience expectations will increase. You will need to keep your custom engines up-to-date, and your workers well trained if you plan to take over the gaming industry, and have the entire planet as your fan base.

Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
I want to be able to make a live service game just like in game dev tycoon with graphs and charts and as of now you can't do that, You can't make an MMO why are the stat's of my developers not shown above their heads whenever they are training? I DON'T WANT TO CHECK THE STAT'S OF EACH DEV AT A TIME, DOING THAT ALMOST MADE ME REFUND THE GAME!!! AND I GOT IT FOR 2$ WHEN IT WAS ON DISCOUNT. Which is the MAIN reason why i didn't refund it, it wasn't worth doing that so now i am leaving a negative review instead which I will change to positive if everything I mentioned is resolved and IF possible i know it might not be since this is an indi game and all, but i want to be able to check social media to see what people are saying about my game in GDM. I want them to do things like complaining if the game is an exclusive and ask me if the game will ever be ported to their platforms or maybe the game is to expensive and they proceed to roast the living hell out of my studio, you know things like that1 found this helpful
Game was abandoned a long time ago and hasn't had any updates in years.
This is an addictive game, but wasting 12 hours of someone's time by locking out their save file is an automatic downvote. Last I checked, I was playing medium not hardcore permadeath. One of two QOL things could've been done to avoid this: allow a history of at least 2 autosaves or automatically trigger the loan window instead of instant death. If this happens to you, you can use an online save editor for your save file to turn off bankrupt and give yourself a positive bank balance. You need to do both of those things.
Bought it on sale with 90% discount - so no regrets here. It was fun for some hours.
It takes some time to understand the process. Its also not as fast as other game dev games but this one does have alot to offer. It took me several tries to make a game above 6. Why? Because you need to research genres, topics, combinations of genres and topics, if you make your own engine you keep more of your profits and then theres freelance work which gets faster to do the more you train. All in all a fun experience. One of the best I played so far. I did get put off when i first bought it because I didnt understand the slider meanings but that was on me not the game. My first game scored 1.0 I got worst game of the year and i felt that. Lol My third was 8.5 once i understood the sliders.
Enjoyable to those that are okay with just sitting back and making random fake video games in a game! I play these on my phone and have since I was a Teen!
