Game Dev Masters has been invited to participate in the "Capitalism and Economy Fest" running from Jan 8th to Jan 15th. I was honored that steam recognized this game as a good candidate for the sale, and because I know economic gamers out there love a good deal. We are coming in with our biggest sale to date at 75% off. There has never been a better time to check out the very positively reviewed tycoon game, that has many players putting in 100's of hours into the competitive ladders. With the ability to grow you're company from a one man studio into a giant conglomerate of AAA studios, the ec

Happy Halloween All four offices have had a visual update to include scary particle effects, spooky animations, and horrific vista views. This event will run until November. At which time we will remove the Halloween visuals, and return to the original office visuals.

Over the past couple of months we have had some great feedback coming in. These range from suggestions about changes, additions, tweaks, and general quality of life improvements. It is now time to take those great ideas and turn them into a reality inside the game. There are a bunch of minor changes and tweaks that players can just experience for themselves, but I would like to highlight a few changes that have larger impact on the game. These include; - Added logic to bankruptcy checks. Bankruptcy will now take a greater look at your company before issuing bankruptcy. Such as, stocks, monthly

Happy Halloween to everyone We have added in some festive visuals for Halloween. These visual changes have no impact on the game other than bringing a Halloween vibe to each office. These visuals can be found in every office, and even come with a few particle effects and animations. This seasonal update is available in both the full and demo version of the game. Have a great and safe Halloween this year, and enjoy the visuals. This update will be removed in early November and the normal office visuals will return.

Just a few quick fixes related to the GDM 1.4 update - Fixed an issue with the max a hype campaign milestone not firing correctly - Fixed an issue with the trailers on IGM market campaign that caused hype to go from 50-40-60 instead of the correct 40-50-60 - Fixed an issue with the Genre window being squished in German translations - Fixed a few errors in the German translation This should be the final hot fix needed for the 1.4 patch. However, things happen. Shout out to TechEnthusiast and ZoneWalker for there great feedback.

Just quick hot fix to fix a couple small issues that were found, and 1 larger issue relating to engines. Shout out to TechEnthusiast for the report. Commercial engines once they made AI sales would no longer be usable by the player when making games, and this also caused an issue with engine deconstruction. This is now fixed and should be working correctly. There may be another hot fix soon if any additional issues are found, if not then the next update will be the Halloween Update as planned, but we will hot fix anything necessary.
