The Bizarre History of Game Dev Tycoon
127This is not a history of the development of Game Dev Tycoon, but a discussion of how the game employs history in its gameplay and narrative. I discuss Game Dev Tycoon in relation with Hayden White's book Metahistory: The Historical Imagination of Nineteenth Century Europe and try to understand what "kind" of history the game tells. I first played Game Dev Tycoon almost eight years ago, so it some ways it is historical to me! If you like my content I would also suggest joining our discord and following me on twitter!
