About This Game

Build and design your own game studio


Starting in any year between 1976 and 2020, begin building your dream game company. With every passing year you will need to research new technologies and features, develop or license better game engines, and make the decisions necessary to go from a small garage studio to an industry dominating mega company. Prepare to release your next hit game on home consoles, handhelds, computers or even arcade machines, each having their own unique market.

You will need to hire the top talent available, and they will need lounges, bathrooms and amenities that create a comfortable and clean environment to develop in.

Expand your studio with new office space, go from a few employees to hundreds, and make moves to grow from just being a developer to being a developer, publisher, and console manufacturer as you begin to control the entire gaming market and owning all the companies in it!

▪ Every game is a part of a growing IP (Intellectual Property/Franchise), build up the reputation of your IPs into gaming powerhouses that have your fans counting down the days until the next hit. Merchandise these IPs for extra income. Sell IPs you have let become dormant or buy popular IPs from other companies.

Decide what kind of warranty you will offer, provide monetary incentives to attract developers to your console and boost your sales through game releases and exclusives. Make Pro/Slim/Upgraded versions of your existing consoles to extend their sales life and boost their technology.

▪ Determine the best time to release your next hit game, follow the trends, look at the market analysis, if it should be a multiplatform or should you accept financial incentives to develop exclusively for another console.

▪ With up to 100 competing companies, once you begin to get the upper hand on the competition you can buy them and give them specific guidelines on what kind of games you want them to make, or if you choose, just take all their IPs and shut them down completely.

▪ Gaming history to be made – tons of charts and numbers! Track your current and all-time successes. Historical records, current market analysis and market research.
