Overview
1998. You quit the boring job, bought a second-hand PC and locked yourself in a garage with one dream — your own game studio. Pixel Studio 98 is a pixel-art game dev tycoon: the path from a lone developer in a garage to a gamedev magnate with a real studio. What awaits you: create games by choosing genre, topic and platform — good combos become hits; split your time across engine, gameplay, graphics and sound over three development stages; hire designers, coders, artists and sound engineers; research new genres, topics and engine tech — from 2D to online and cloud; move from a garage to a flat, an office and a big studio; ride market trends. Released games keep earning money even while you are offline. Sell the studio at its peak and start again with a Legend bonus. Retro 90s aesthetics, chiptune music and a living pixel office. Can you ship a masterpiece rated 10 out of 10?
