How to avoid bankruptcy in GDT, Capitalism and Economy Fest, and more

Happy New Year, everyone!

Steam Capitalism and Economy Fest

Game Dev Tycoon is taking part in the Steam Capitalism and Economy Fest with a 60% discount until January 15th! What a fitting event for a game like Game Dev Tycoon!

How to avoid bankruptcy

In Game Dev Tycoon, your success isnt measured only by how many 10/10 games you make - and All Games isnt making this task easy - but also by your ability to keep your development company going and growing. The biggest challenge is avoiding bankruptcy, which is hard enough without the ultra-hard Pirate Mode, so we thought of sharing a few tips to make your playthrough a little easier!

Save up a good amount of money before moving on to level 2. This can help you experiment with topics a little and gain more experience.
Medium games work best if you have a team of 3, so your aim should be to get to 2 additional workers. Be mindful when you grow your team since staff members are expensive!
Fans are important, and to get more fans you should try to take publishing deals. This will help you later on when you want to successfully self-publish games.
Be very careful what publishing contracts you take. Publishers often suggest not-so-ideal combinations which can lead to bad scores and you having to pay a penalty.
If you have trouble thinking of what audience is better for what platforms, just think of the best-selling games of the real-world equivalent console and what audience these games target.
