About the Game

"A story of hardship and challenges for an indie game team. Create the ultimate game!"

You become the leader of an indie game development team. Starting as a novice, you continue your journey until you win the prestigious GOTY award. In a defense-style gameplay, you combine developers and discover unique synergies. Compete against teams from various leagues and experience the life of a great game creator.

Defense as a metaphor for game development

Defense represents the process of creating a game. Once work begins, "ideas" that need to be turned into resources start pouring in. You must deploy developers to process these ideas. If your developers are too weak or the ideas are too strong, tasks will pile up on your workbench. If you can’t handle the workload, your project might be dropped. Upgrade developers continuously and turn ideas into game resources!

Combine developers to create stronger ones!

You can merge intern developers to create higher-grade ones. Each turn, new interns arrive, and you can combine them to form more powerful developers. Developers can be created based on synthesis rules, and the highest-grade developers have special synergies. Gather similar synergies to build your ultimate office setup and aim for masterpieces.

Release games to earn user reviews and revenue!

When you release a game, its quality determines user ratings and revenue. The score depends on how efficiently ideas were used during development. Don’t worry; you’re growing! The more games you release, the more fans your indie team will gain.

Invest revenue into development or unlock new features!

It’s time to reinvest. Use your earnings to educate developers or unlock permanent upgrades that aid development. You can also unlock new developers or furniture to enhance team synergy further. Earn money and create another game until you win the ultimate award!

Game development is influenced by various factors.

The office setup matters—developers, furniture, and team composition all play a role. Arrange developers and furniture strategically to maximize synergy. Use directive cards and furniture wisely to control the flow of development. Masterpieces are in your hands!
