Playworks

Start alone in a garage in 1978 and build a legendary game studio — pick topics and genres, ship games, hire a team and survive the eras.

Goal
Release your first games from the garage and earn enough to move into a real office.

How to play
1. Start a new game project: name, topic, genre, platform and size.
2. At each phase, set the focus (design, code, polish…).
3. Release, set marketing, and read the reviews.
4. Avoid repeating the same topic and genre — players get bored.
5. Research new tech, hire staff and move to an office.
