https://www.greenheartgames.com/blog/ We are Greenheart Games, a small indie team founded by two brothers working remotely from all over the world. We value the player’s time and intelligence and believe that games need to be more than thinly-disguised slot machines optimized solely to generate profit. en https://www.greenheartgames.com/2020/08/26/game-dev-tycoon-is-coming-to-nintendo-switch/ https://www.greenheartgames.com/?p=7850 Wed, 26 Aug 2020 07:10:23 GMT We are happy to announce that Game Dev Tycoon is coming to Nintendo Switch on October 8th. Our friends at Rarebyte, who are responsible for the amazing iOS and Android port, put the same attention to detail and care into porting it to Switch and the game just feels right at home on the console. https://www.greenheartgames.com/2018/08/31/happy-5th-steam-release-anniversary/ https://www.greenheartgames.com/?p=7533 Thu, 30 Aug 2018 17:50:31 GMT It's been five whole years since Game Dev Tycoon released on Steam.

Last year was an intense year for us. We hired a larger team and we started a bunch of really interesting projects. Things became hectic quickly. There's probably a good reason we only allow one project at a time in Game Dev Tycoon :D. https://www.greenheartgames.com/2014/08/12/celebrating-game-dev-tycoon-workshop-support/ https://www.greenheartgames.com/?p=5997 Mon, 11 Aug 2014 17:11:01 GMT Today, we are happy to announce that Game Dev Tycoon now ships with Steam Workshop support and, even better, there are already a dozen great mods available for you to enjoy. From simple mods that add topics and platforms, to more advanced mods adding competitors or allowing you to build custom PCs. https://www.greenheartgames.com/2014/02/28/game-dev-tycoon-modding-taking/ https://www.greenheartgames.com/?p=5885 Fri, 28 Feb 2014 06:59:55 GMT Since we announced modding support for Game Dev Tycoon late last year we have seen a great deal of interest in modding and in a short time the community has created some impressive mods. To check out some of the best mods have a read through our first Game Dev Tycoon Modding Spotlight. https://www.greenheartgames.com/2014/01/31/changes-modding-agreement/ https://www.greenheartgames.com/?p=5859 Fri, 31 Jan 2014 05:26:35 GMT Since we opened up Game Dev Tycoon for modders through our modding API we have seen a great deal of interest and activity. We are going to talk more about exciting developments in the modding scene soon but today I just want to announce a small change to our Modding Agreement. https://www.greenheartgames.com/2013/12/06/greenheart-games-hiring/ https://www.greenheartgames.com/?p=5557 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 23:51:17 GMT To put it in Game Dev Tycoon’s terms, Greenheart Games is moving to level 2! We are looking for great talent to forge a team with which we can tackle our next projects. https://www.greenheartgames.com/2013/11/12/new-eula-modding-agreement-game-dev-tycoon-free-adapt-projects/ https://www.greenheartgames.com/?p=5410 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 08:07:52 GMT The upcoming release of Game Dev Tycoon (1.4.5) will ship with a new EULA and a new Modding Agreement. The new EULA is not only easier to read but also changes a few important things: You can now monetize your ‘Let’s Play’ videos of Game Dev Tycoon without having to ask permission first.
