Game Dev Tycoon - [💚] Maniii
Happy New Year, everyone!

Steam Capitalism and Economy Fest
Game Dev Tycoon is taking part in the Steam Capitalism and Economy Fest with a 60% discount until January 15th! What a fitting event for a game like Game Dev Tycoon! 😁



How to avoid bankruptcy
In Game Dev Tycoon, your success isn’t measured only by how many 10/10 games you make - and All Games isn’t making this task easy - but also by your ability to keep your development company going and growing. The biggest challenge is avoiding bankruptcy, which is hard enough without the ultra-hard Pirate Mode, so we thought of sharing a few tips to make your playthrough a little easier!
  • Save up a good amount of money before moving on to level 2. This can help you experiment with topics a little and gain more experience.
  • Medium games work best if you have a team of 3, so your aim should be to get to 2 additional workers. Be mindful when you grow your team since staff members are expensive!
  • Fans are important, and to get more fans you should try to take publishing deals. This will help you later on when you want to successfully self-publish games.
  • Be very careful what publishing contracts you take. Publishers often suggest not-so-ideal combinations which can lead to bad scores and you having to pay a penalty.
  • If you have trouble thinking of what audience is better for what platforms, just think of the best-selling games of the real-world equivalent console and what audience these games target.
Do you have any tips to share? Let us know in the comments!

Our second management game
We also took this opportunity to share more details about the money-making aspect of our second game Tavern Keeper, coming out later this year! You can check the article here.

Tavern Keeper 🍻 - [💚] Maniii
Happy 2024, future tavern keepers!

Steam Capitalism and Economy Fest has begun - a perfect event for management sims like our upcoming game Tavern Keeper - so let’s take this opportunity to share a bit about the money-making aspect and different styles of playing!



The basics of your tavern
Your tavern can offer a variety of food and drinks to cater to the preferences of the local patrons, and you, as the Tavern Keeper, can establish the prices for each item on the menu.

When you have a negative gold balance for more than a day in Tavern Keeper, it’s game over! But fear not, you’ll have some options to turn the tide – taking loans, selling furniture, increasing prices for services or (gasp!) firing your staff.


Please don’t fire staff, they get really really sad.

Challenge or Relaxing: Your choice!
Tavern Keeper has a bunch of difficulty settings you can tweak to your liking to make things as challenging or easy-breezy as you wish, from the tavern’s income to fire chance, and beyond. Plus, there are special achievements in some levels, like the challenge of finishing a scenario without ever taking a loan!
We’re all about giving you the freedom to play Tavern Keeper at your own pace - whether you’re in the mood for a more laid-back experience or crave a challenge. The game isn’t designed to fail you, so you can take your time and grow your tavern slowly but if you want to push yourself a bit, then it pays off to pay attention to details. Small issues might escalate over time and you could find yourself juggling a few unexpected disasters all at once!
Tavern Keeper is coming out Q3 this year - we can’t wait for you to play it!


Our first game is on sale!
Game Dev Tycoon is also taking part in the Steam Capitalism and Economy fest, with a 60% discount until January 15th! If you haven’t played it before, go check it out - and try to not go bankrupt. Unlike Tavern Keeper, Game Dev Tycoon is a little less forgiving!
