CAN'T STOP MAKING HITS THAT IS!!! YEA BUDDY!!!!

🎮 Game Dev Tycoon – The Ultimate Game Development Sim!

📅 Released: December 10, 2012
🛠 Developer: Greenheart Games (Founded by brothers Patrick & Daniel Klug)

Inspired by Game Dev Story by Kairosoft, Game Dev Tycoon puts you in charge of a game development company, starting from a humble garage and building your way to industry dominance! 🚀

🕹 Gameplay
🔹 Start in the 1980s with limited funds and no employees.
🔹 Develop and release games to unlock new options & skills.
🔹 Buy licenses for parody consoles like PlaySystem, mBox, TES, and grPad.
🔹 Expand to new offices, hire staff, and open R&D labs for major projects.
🔹 Unlock MMOs, online game stores, and even create your own console!

⚙ Mod Support
The game supports mods via JavaScript & the gdt-modAPI. As of May 2022, there are 860+ mods on Steam Workshop, ranging from simple tweaks to advanced libraries like UltimateLib. Many mods are made using Ultimate Module Editor (UME).

🏴‍☠️ The Genius Anti-Piracy Feature
Knowing the game would be pirated, Greenheart Games released a cracked version themselves. The catch? As players progressed, they’d see this message:

💬 "Boss, it seems that while many players play our new game, they steal it by downloading a cracked version rather than buying it legally. If players don't buy the games they like, we will sooner or later go bankrupt."

Pirates eventually go bankrupt in-game due to piracy—leading to hilarious complaints from real pirates who didn't realize the irony. 😂

📱 Netflix Release (2024)
