How it plays

Make games. Compete. Build your studio.

Three simple ideas sit at the center of the career: make games your way, compete with rival studios, and grow the studio that can reach world rank #1.

01

Make Games Your Way

Start in 1995 with one developer and a small office. Develop your first game by choosing its genre, topic, platform, and features, and design its cover.

02

Compete With Rival Studios

Other studios are making games at the same time. They have their own names, logos, and games. Watch them climb the world ranking and try to pass them.

03

Build Your Studio

Hire a team, upgrade their computers, and solve problems during development. Move into bigger offices and build your own game engine as the studio grows.

See it play

Make a game. Check your rivals. See what you built.

These loops are captured from the current build: designing a cover, sizing up rival studios, and browsing a late-career Catalog.

Design a cover

There's no recipe that always makes a hit. Follow your own idea, aim for a big crowd, or turn a surprise success into a series.

Size up rival studios

Keep an eye on what rival studios are making. Launch at the right time, beat the game at the top of the charts, or take back a genre from the studio that passed you.

Browse your Catalog

By 2019, look back at a catalog full of flops, hits, long-running series, and games that became the top sellers in their genres.

Authentic gameplay

Make the game. Watch the market. Grow the studio.
