We've Got Game(s) | Game Builder Tycoon (Video Game Studio Manager)
177Game Builder Tycoon is a game where we design our own video games! Yes, it's a game where we design games, which can get a bit meta.
The legendary Betty Cupboard steps up and nips back in time to 2005 to begin a journey that will take her from her bedroom all the way to running a mighty game design studio! Well, that's the idea anyway.
The whole process is classic 'design-a-thing' tycoon gameplay: choose a genre, a theme, move some sliders around to determine how long we spend on certain aspects of the game like graphics and sound, do some marketing, then publish it and hope we've done it well!
Betty produces some surprisingly good games, and a whole heap of average ones, but she does manage to stay in business for quite a while. As time passes she researches new technologies and improves her skills, but does she ever create a masterpiece game and run that game studio she dreamt of?
