We are excited to announce the release of version 1.5, a quick yet significant update that enhances your gameplay experience with dynamic weather visuals! From January to December, you'll experience a range of weather changes, including snowy winters, sunny summers, refreshing rains, vibrant spring, and golden autumn.

Each weather type comes with tailored sound effects and VFX, adding more depth and realism to your adventures.

We’re committed to making the game even better, and future updates are on the way. However, please note that upcoming updates may take some time as we work on adding more exciting content. Stay tuned, and thank you for your continued support!

Hey everyone! We're thrilled to announce the release of Major Update 1.4 for Game Builder Tycoon! This update brings exciting new features and improvements to enhance your game development experience:

We've added 21 new themes and replaced 2 old ones, giving you a total of 42 themes (19 old, 23 new) to choose from for your games.

Introducing a more detailed pricing system! Now you can set the price of your game based on recommendations influenced by your company’s reputation, game size, and selected features. Use a slider to adjust the price and watch how it affects sales dynamics—raising the price decreases sales and lowering it increases them.

Choose from 6 different moods, ranging from relaxing to horror, to match the vibe of your game. This new feature allows for more creative customization and depth.

Once a game is complete, generate a detailed report to understand areas where your game could improve. You can also research game reports or view past reports in your game history.

We've made the game slightly more challenging in terms of review scores, offering a more engaging and rewarding gameplay experience.

Note: Detailed reports will only work for new games created in this latest build. Older games from your game history (created before this update) will not generate reports correctly. We recommend starting a new game to experience this feature fully.

for example: you created game X in version 1.3 and want to unlock the report so it will not generate a report of game X correctly.
