About Game Builder Tycoon
Game Builder Tycoon is a studio-management game where you create and sell games, build a team and compete with 5,000 other companies. Earn fame and money, research new technologies, upgrade your office, manage taxes and salaries, and take out loans if needed.
Design and sell games
Choose a genre, theme, platform, game size, art style, viewpoint and features, then assign tasks to your characters. You can also shape each game through its art, features, quests, dialogue, music, level design and world design. Launch games on the market and make sequels.
Build your team

The game has over 60 unlockable options, including survival and simulation genres; zombie and pirate themes; consoles and mobile devices; semi-realistic and stylized art styles; localization and tutorials; isometric and third-person viewpoints; and marketing strategies such as free demos and media advertisements.
Expand your studio
Earn enough money to upgrade your office and hire more employees, expanding your team's ability to make larger games. Meanwhile, compete against 5,000 other companies by creating better games and using marketing tactics to earn more and stay ahead.
