Press Release

San Francisco – August 21st, 2013 - Independent game development studio Greenheart Games is excited to announce that their game developer simulation game, Game Dev Tycoon, is coming to Steam August 29th for PC (Windows) and Mac.  The game, which was initially launched on the Windows 8 Store in December 2012, was successfully re-released on Greenheart Games’ website in early 2013, and received praise from both critics and fans alike.  The developers were most recently discussed worldwide when they purposely uploaded a cracked build of their game that had players' studios failing due to piracy (causing hilarious and sad results).  Game Dev Tycoon, which was updated for this release to respond to player feedback, will soon be available on Steam with a launch price of $7.99 (USD), 20% off the normal Steam price of $9.99.

In Game Dev Tycoon, players get to start their own game development company and play through the history of game development. Players will start their humble business in a garage in the 1980s.  As they research new technologies, create best selling games, hire and train staff they will grow their business and their impact on the industry.  Players get the ability to make their own virtual games, choose the genre and what platform to release on.  As they grow they will get opportunities to move into bigger offices and unlock secret labs, become the leader of the market and gain worldwide fans.

Features:
Start a game development company in the 80s
Design and create games
Research new technologies
Create custom game engines
Move into bigger offices
Forge a world-class development team

Game Dev Tycoon will be available on Steam August 29th for PC (Windows) and Mac at a discounted price of $7.99, 20% off the normal Steam price of $9.99.  Players can also purchase the full game or try the demo at greenheartgames.com.

ABOUT Greenheart Games
Greenheart Games was founded in July 2012 by brothers Patrick and Daniel Klug with a mission to develop games that are fun to play instead of mind numbing money grabbers. "Less social, less ville, more game" is the motto which inspired them to go against the trend of free-to-play games and to create their first game, Game Dev Tycoon. GDT has since been in the top paid games on the Windows Store. A re-release of the game in April 2013 on Mac, PC and Linux was also well received by players and the game was quickly voted onto Steam, following massive support on Steam Greenlight.
