    Originally released in the late 1990s, Game Dev Story is a role-playing game developed by Kairosoft for PC, consoles and mobile phones. The game follows the career of a programmer who is hired to develop a new video game for a company. The game has been praised for its innovative gameplay and art style, and has been credited with popularizing the pixel-art graphic style in video games.

      Thanks for checking it out! I agree, Kairosoft are criminally underrated and deserve all the praise they can get

      They need all the praise they can get, the games are amazing! I hope the recent steam releases gets them more attention that they deserve. Also that's really cool! If you ever release a game that can be played let me know

    Replayed Game Dev Story recently and had no idea it was such an old game!
    I'm curious, which Kairosoft game is your favourite?

    Okay the menu music just gave me massive nostalgia. I still have the same Game Dev story copy from all those years ago on my newest phone that I just got yesterday. Thank God for Smart switch.

      I agree Game Dev Story and also Hot Springs Story soundtrack is super nostalgic! The first ones you play always stick with you

    I've been earning billions in this game. Also you keep all level 5 genres for the restart so you get an advantage on a new start.

      I made my first billion in Game Dev Story too 😂 That's a great new game plus feature! Probably one of the most useful ones

    I swear this game used to be free (on iOS) but I'm genuinely considering shelling out the 5 bucks to play this game. It was that good.

    Game Dev Story, along with another four Kairosoft games, are due to come out on Xbox One and Series X/S this coming week. Pre-ordered Game Dev Story less than an hour ago, been wanting to play it for a long time. If I like it I'll see about getting the rest of them as and when able.
    It looks like such a nice charming wee game.

      That's great news! New platform releases are super exciting for new players to experience the game. Let me know what you think of it!

      Finally played it today, was released early this morning UK time. It's good but it has aged a lot, while later games of the same vein would improve on a lot, like Game Dev Tycoon and Mad Games Tycoon, this is still a charming, delightful wee game that's well worth playing.
      Really glad to have finally gotten to play it.@@WowItsBow

    Lol this game seems to have taken notes on Kojima and Iga and all the other game directors that got burnt out on one IP.

      Super keen to replay them all, I'm doing them in the order the original international phone ports were released. Just released my Hot Springs Story video and working on Pocket Academy which will be the next one!

    Did Game Dev Tycoon copy Kairosoft's Game Dev Story? Because the game play is similar.

    • @WowItsBow
      @WowItsBow  10 месяцев назад +2

      Game Dev Story by Kairosoft was made significantly before Game Dev Tycoon, so it definitley seems inspired by it. The Game Dev Tycoon Wikipedia article even references Game Dev Story as an inspiration
