In my custom launcher I am looking for a way to edit the settings pre-launch.
Where is the settings file located?
It would be located in:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Game Dev Tycoon
then find a file called package.json
open the file using notepad or any other text editor such as notepad++
@snowyterrorgami that is node-webkit settings, i think @stian means things like language, audio. i think fullscreen might be in package.json though, not 100% surew
If you wouldn’t mind, dont talk to me like I dont know how to open files 
Anyway, I meant the settings file for ingame settings clearly stated in the post.
@stian it looks like full screen IS located in package.json.
however, i have no flying idea apart from /appdata/ gamedevtcyoon (not sure what that would be on linux)
probably a question for @PatrickKlug to be honest
That fullscreen is something different.
@Stian I put the directory path/location in so that others know where to find it if they have never been near those files before.
However I see why you would react like that.
oh and @Rex0099 that is where the main settings are located to my knowledge.

Let me explain.
package.json
- Information about the game window. Nothing to do with the game.
settings file
- Fullscreen?
- Volume?
etc.
@Stian , @snowyterrorgami is right, the data is stored weirdly and i can’t explain it, it is similar to the old way of cheating in game dev tycoon (editing the slots).
I know it is located in AppData, but where?
I doubt you will be having much fun doing this pre-launch. It’s all saved in node-webkit’s local storage which internally is a SQLLite database (afaik). Might be much easier to write your settings somewhere you can easily read it when the game starts and then access the settings in-game.
