One More Release: Indie Studio Tycoon

One More Release: Indie Studio Tycoon is a cozy but deep game development tycoon where you build your dream indie studio from a tiny office into an industry legend.

Create games across different genres and themes. Choose platforms, engines, prices, and development priorities. Hire developers, manage salaries and energy, research new technologies, launch marketing campaigns, survive reviews, and keep your studio alive through hits, flops, bugs, loans, and deadlines.

Every release matters. A surprise hit can save your studio. A rushed launch can damage your reputation. A tired team can burn out before the next project. The market changes, competitors fight for attention, and your studio has to adapt.

Research, Innovate, and Stay Ahead

Invest in R&D to unlock new technologies, gameplay mechanics, visual styles, production formats, and marketing opportunities. Every discovery expands your creative options and helps your studio keep up with an ever-changing industry.

More Than Employees

Your developers are not just numbers on a spreadsheet. Each person can have their own traits, mood, energy, personal events, and place in the studio.

They can get tired, recover, celebrate success, struggle under pressure, and react to the way you run the company. As the studio grows, your team becomes part of the story — not just a resource to spend.

A great studio is built by people, not only by budgets.

Build a Team Worth Fighting For

Hire talented specialists, develop their skills, and manage their energy and satisfaction. Every employee has unique strengths and traits—train them, assign the right tasks, and give them time to recover before burnout starts costing you more than a delayed release.

Make the Office Yours

Upgrade your studio space and buy office items that make the workplace feel more personal. Decorations, useful objects, and cozy details can change the look of your office and help turn a tiny indie setup into a real home for your team.
