I was wondering what program you use to edit the game saves. I can’t do it with notepad++ or anything like it. I asked once, and no one ever answered.
Yes, I did do a search and found nothing here or on Google.
I believe it has been mentioned before that the game saves are SQLite files, so a tool like SQLite Browser would be needed:
Saves location:
Windows 7: C:\Users{user name}\AppData\Local\Game Dev Tycoon
Windows 8 app: C:\Users{user name}\AppData\Local\Packages\B3B9BB81.56264F78B4FFF_swksbykwsp6kr\RoamingState\
you can open them with notepad and edit them, it’s easy to find interesting settings; fo example I have modified faces and clothes of my employees, but you can also edit money, fans number and more…
I have coded a little program to easily modify these settings, you can get it from here

OK, I hadn’t actually checked myself, I just saw somone mention SQLite and thought they were talking about the save files
There is a failure in your little program. I think you identify Win8 and then you use the \Packages\ path…but that only fits for the App Version…when you use the normal .exe the savegame is on the same spot as at Win7…would be cool if you fix that. Would love to change the clothes of my employees(i see now…the option isnt in your tool :P)…especially when i know how to repack the .exe when i modified the png files xD…
if you follow this :

(work also for Windows)
and use this :
You’ll be able to do whatever you want with cloth, etc …
forgot to say that it works only for windows 8 app because I have the game on windows8, sorry…
I fixed it, now the program should chose the savepath according to the operative system, but I can’t test if it works;

anyway node-webkit works surely better
Wow nice 
it really loads now and it looks mostly normal 
…just the text fields look a bit weird…
