❤ Customizable Office Management

You start your video game studio in a small garage in the 1980s and work to build it into a global empire. Customizing and expanding your office space is a key aspect of the gameplay. You can construct specialized rooms like development studios, QA labs, motion capture stages, and even your own game engine research facilities. Effectively managing the workflow between these different departments is crucial to producing high-quality, successful video games.

❤ Diverse Game Development Lifecycle

The game development process itself is highly involved. You'll need to make strategic decisions at every stage - from concepting new game ideas and selecting optimal genre/platform combinations, to fine-tuning the technical, creative, and gameplay elements during production. You can also choose to update and re-release successful titles, or even develop your own proprietary game engine to license to other studios.

❤ Progression and Expansion

As you navigate the decades and grow your empire, you'll have opportunities to acquire competing studios, build your own game publishing/manufacturing facilities, and even develop innovative new game consoles. The sense of progression and scale is highly rewarding, as you transform your humble garage operation into an industry-dominating powerhouse.

❤ Replayability and Customization

The open-ended sandbox structure, coupled with the wealth of customization options, ensures a high degree of replayability. You can approach each playthrough with different strategies, targeting specific genres, platforms, or business models to achieve success. The randomization of certain market trends and technological advancements also encourages experimentation and non-linear progression.
