About the Game



Have you ever wanted to try what it's like to be a programmer, graphic designer, or tester, but you didn't have the right skills or time to learn them? In DevLIfe you can experience it for yourself! Create your character and guide him or her through life in the IT industry. Complete commissions, create your projects, set up your own company, hire employees, and lead them to success!



Although the game is in Early Access, it already contains many features and a mechanic. The most important of them are:

  • Creating your own character, choosing traits, and building your career in the IT industry
  • Make thought choices in Interactive Events that shape both the gameplay and the story of your character!
  • Four extensive skill trees - learn how to create websites, mobile applications, video games, and desktop applications. Decide what direction you want to take in your career!
  • Finding and fulfilling commissions for external clients and improving your skills through learning
  • Starting your own company, creating your own projects, hiring employees, and taking care of their well-being and growth
  • Four unique locations: family house, bay office, desert office and city center office
  • Build Mode - buy new furniture, decorations, or RTV equipment and take care of the comfort and high performance of your employees



We won't stop here. In future versions, we plan to expand the "life" aspect of DevLife by adding more theme-based Interactive Events. Besides, with each update in the game the available content will be expanded, there are plans for:

  • New Character Customization Options
  • Additional Locations
  • New Furniture

We will listen to players' opinions and introduce their ideas into the game to make it as much playable as we can. We hope that your experience with DevLife will be the most enjoyable!
