Game Dev Tycoon is an awesome and really sucking indside game for game lovers made by Greenheart Games. If its a small game, then too it will blow up your brain! This game lets you enjoy and with that teaches you how game devs works along with gives you to make games. It doesn't shows the proccesses, but shows that games requires Design, Tech, Engine, Story, Graphics, etc. You can also make your own game engines.

Gameplay is not so good. Means, you will feel like you are playing facebook or flash games. But when you

will digg the game completely, you will be surprised! There are lots and lots of things in the game. The maximum number of employees you can keep till last stage is 7 including you. You can select your character as Male, or Female. After playing it, we gurantee it that you will not feel to open internet, chat with friends, or play other awesome graphics' games. Because, it sucks you inside!

The game starts. Choose your company name, your name, gender, and some othe misc things. Then, get started. First of the game, you will make games alone. While making games, you will find orange, dark orange, blue & dark blue colored balls. Orange stands for Design, which represents how much your game is designed. Dark orange stands for Bug. Bugs will be removed automatically at last before finishing the game if you wait for sometime, but we prefer you to make the game as a type that it contains very less bugs otherwise afterwards you will be forced to make patches for games spending money in K's. Blue stands for Technology. Gather as much technology for your game to hit. Dark Blue stands for Research. This is very good facility. It gives you to bring more and more new things in your development.

You may find the first stage boring as you will work alone. In the first stage, hits are very difficult in your

games. When you reach $1 Million, you will be taken to second stage. But, for the money don't invest. You go on making as much games as possible and try to make such types of games that are popular.

In the second stage, you can add maximum 4 employees in your company. It will also be little boring. But, the third step is awesome! Maximum number of employees can be added is 6. Your projects will be very easy to do in a team of 7.

There are some special facilities like Hype, Train, Team Development, Rating, Contracts, Publishing Deals, etc.

Hype is the traffic and shows the number of people awaiting for your game in your booths. It will increase as you go on making the game. If it is near about 400, and your game gets very good ratings, and your platform is popular, millions of that copies will be sold.

Train lets you train yourself and your employees. It makes your employees work fast & teach more about game developing which is used as when you made a bad game, then also their skills will popularize it little a bit.

Contracts are given by other people with fixed prices (if you are able to complete it within the given time), fixed penalty prices (if you are not able to finish your work)(you will have to pay to the contractor  and given time (time limit for the given contract).

8.6/10 - Excellent
