Nox Plays... Game Dev Studio (Let's Play/Gameplay) | Ep. 5: Failure to Thrive
4With over $1 million in the bank, the world is our oyster! First up, we scrap work on the World of Moarcraft expansion in favour of a post-apocalyptic horror game called The Walking Zed. The fans love it, but it seems I may have underpriced it (or made it too big), as it hardly nets us any money. Our Pro team simultaneously worked on and released Killer's Creed, which was also a fan favourite; however, I, once again, underpriced it, and we ended up failing to thrive. I have an idea for how to succeed, but we'll have to try it out next time in our final episode of our first look at Game Dev Studio.

Welcome to your own Game Dev Studio!
How will you run your own offices and ascend to greatness in the gaming industry?
Non-linear progression. Fill the empty spaces in your office with any objects you wish, and when you run out of space, buy a new building to continue expanding!
Find the best employees for your studio. Employees have their skills, attributes, traits, interests, and knowledge on topics.
Create multiple teams, work on multiple game projects at once, or reach for the stars by focusing all your workpower on one game.
Just don't forget that you won't get to keep your employees forever.
Rev up those engines. Make game engines, update them with new tech, and revamp them when the code gets too messy!
Make awesome games. Employees? Check. Game engine? Check. Now it's time to make great games!
Hype it up! Advertise your games through a multitude of ways: invite reviewers for an interview, start a mass advertisement campaign, contact online personalities to create early playthrough videos of your game, hire agencies to shill your game online, and even bribe reviewers!
Show your rivals who's boss of this industry. Your rivals are on the lookout for talented developers just like you are, so get ready to fight off their attempts to lure your employees away with higher salaries. Give them a taste of their own medicine and buy them out when they go under!
Sway the odds of platform manufacturers. Games you release influence the fate of platform manufacturers for which they're made.
Good games will make a platform more attractive to gamers and change its market share for the better.
Never a dull moment. Story mode, three extra campaigns, a freeplay mode, and the ability to randomize various aspects of the game at the beginning of a playthrough make for greater replayability.
