Competitive Replayability

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 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
