Idle Game Dev Studio

Don't forget to WISHLIST and FOLLOW for updates!

Start with no cash, make your first game, and put its earnings toward the next one.

Idle Game Dev Studio is an incremental management game about making games and building a catalog that keeps earning. Handle development and marketing yourself, then hire producers and marketing managers to keep things moving. Decide where the money goes: faster development, better earnings, or another round of improvements to an older release.

Get your next game out the door

Choose a genre, name your project, and build up the code, art, and design needed to release it. Invest in training as each new game takes more work to finish. Unlock 13 genres, from puzzle games and platformers to RPGs and horror.

Put your back catalog to work

A release is only the beginning. Run marketing campaigns yourself or hire a manager to bring in steady income. Unlock updates to improve existing games, make sequels to successful releases, and revisit older titles with remasters.

Some games flop. Updates can improve their earnings and give them a chance to recover.

Choose what to tackle next

As your studio grows, unlock publisher contracts and different project sizes. Take on a contract for a bonus, commit to a more ambitious game, or spend time improving something you've already released.

Keep things moving while you're away

Producers automate development sprints, and marketing managers handle recurring campaigns. Collect offline earnings and return to progress on projects with a producer.

Sell the studio. Start another.

Sell an established studio to earn a permanent revenue bonus for future studios. Your discovered feature unlocks carry over too. Hold out for a bigger sale, or cash in and start again with a better earning rate.
