I’ve just begun my 5th journey on this fantastic game. I feel totally addicted to Game Dev Tycoon and I consider it to be one of the best independent games ever.
So this question randomly appeared in my head: what’s the fastest you’ve been able to finish the first level and get out of the garage? As far as I remember, I never managed to spend less than 2 years and a half until I develop a hit game that allows me to break the 1M. barrier (yeah, I’m not a pro gamer, 'nuff said).
I know some of you absolutely rock at this game, so what’s your 1st level time-record?
6th game is my fastest ever (keeping in mind you actually need 3 “top score” games to get out of the garage, the first two are downgraded to 8s). I got super lucky with my 4th game (the last I made before making a custom engine) in the post development / bug fixing phase - got a ton of extra design/tech bubbles that pushed it to a “top score” range.
I’m not sure where that sits in terms of years, but I’m guessing close to two.
My very first play through I did it withing 4-10 games, It was ridiculously quick. Second, 10-20 games, much slower, third took me like a few years =/… Hahahaha
8th game i suppose. Never more than 10, but never less than 5. I suppose that would be 15 months on 30y.
How i did it: just spam good combos with whats given. On PC or G64. No research for anything.
