Game Dev Tycoon has been out on PC for a long time now, meaning many of the guides out there are complex and tailored toward experienced players looking to optimize. Now that the game has hit mobile, you’re probably just starting out, and you might be struggling to get your studio out of your garage. Here are some quick tips and tricks for beginners to help you get past the 1M mark (yes, that’s the threshold) and succeed at Game Dev Tycoon.
The first step to making a good game is a winning combination of topic, genre, and audience (unlocked a short while in). You also want to make sure you’re developing for the right system. There are a ton of topics and you’ll unlock them in a different order every time, so it’s best to experiment to see what works. We recommend running a Game Report for every single game, as it will tell you if the genre/topic combination was good or if it was the reason your game flopped.
As for systems, here are the genres that work well on the earliest five available platforms:
Systems
In general, PC is a very safe, cheap platform to use for just about everything and will persist through the entirety of the game.
Keep an eye on the events happening outside your garage and take advantage of them. Accept interviews when offered, and decline investments–they never work out. And keep an eye on the news. When a new console is about to debut, prepare to get a license for and develop for it if you can. Licenses are a one-time cost and you will have time to develop multiple games for the platform while it’s popular.
