Game Dev Tycoon - It's like Game Dev Story, but for Windows, Mac, and Linux - Games

Still no Windows 7 demo then?

Not sure, but the Steam Greenlight page says: [quote] Release date: End of April 2013 [/quote] [url]http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=134714217[/url] Not sure if they edited it in, or if it passed the Greenlight process, but I imagine there'll be a W7 demo up once the game's released on the platform.

Windows 7 and Mac demos are available at [url]http://www.greenheartgames.com/game-dev-tycoon-downloads/[/url] Linux version apparently coming soon.

Oh i am totally gonna buy it

Also, if you've bought it on W8, you may be able to get a Steam key if/when it passes through Greenlight [url]http://forum.greenheartgames.com/t/steam-version-for-original-owners/148/8[/url] [editline]23rd April 2013[/editline] Also, as of early March, it's "57% on the way to the top 100 " on Greenlight. Anybody know how well a game has to be received to be accepted?

Oh man, I definitely need to buy this.

Have anyone in this thread been over an estimated release date for the full game on Win7?

[QUOTE=lekkimsm;40399092]Have anyone in this thread been over an estimated release date for the full game on Win7?[/QUOTE] It seems like they're waiting to see it pass onto Steam Greenlight. I've seen the devs talk on their forums about selling it through their site in addition to Steam, but they haven't mentioned a date or timeframe to look forward to.

Played demo, more fun than game dev story, maybe a bit too complex at first, as soon as i researched custom engine everything went crazy

I made a game a year or two after the NES came out, and it sold 300000 copies and put me to 2 millions, getting 4 10s from reviewers. A game made by some guy in his garage.

[QUOTE=lekkimsm;40400543]So basically, it can take up to a whole damn year?[/QUOTE] Possibly, though I doubt it'll be that long. The game only came out first for W8 back in December, and then they were claiming they didn't have plans for a W7 version. Three months later, and there's already a demo of it for Windows and Mac. I'd like to think if it seems like it won't pass through Greenlight, then they'll just release it through their own site instead.

Fffffuck me, i wanna play the full game so badly! I need a good management game to pass time with!

This game is awesome, but pretty hard at first to a beginner [such as me.]

Looks like Windows, Linux, and Mac versions may be coming sooner than we thought. [url]http://forum.greenheartgames.com/t/early-access-to-windows-mac-and-linux-versions/187/3[/url]

Really cool. I barely played Game Dev Story though. [editline]25th April 2013[/editline] Playing the demo right now. This game has a really good feel. It's simple, smooth and definitely 2013ish. I already love it.

It doesn't automerge after a specific time between posts.

This game looks really nice,played the demo and loved it.

[QUOTE=DarkWolf2;40434083][/QUOTE] huh?

i get bankrupted on the 3rd year or so because i cant buy licenses for the new consoles :c

Whenever I try the demo all I get is a blank screen.

[QUOTE=Flarey;40434796]i get bankrupted on the 3rd year or so because i cant buy licenses for the new consoles :c[/QUOTE] Keep at it with PC releases until you make a hit. Those can net you a couple million if you get lucky enough (at least that early in the game). I've updated the OP with a spreadsheet listing off some good topic/genre combinations, if you care to take a look and make things a bit easier.
