Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 0.14/day in the week to Aug 14 → 1.43/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,400 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

It's a loveless game development game. I hoped for something like Gamers Go Makers and Game Dev Tycoon. But Game Builder Tycoon feels like somebody put some mechanics together and published it to benefit from name or genre similarities. A pity.
L'idea del gioco è molto interessante; purtroppo dopo un po' diventa monotono. Con qualche modifica sicuramente migliorerebbe. Consigliato ma in attesa di qualche update.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart to the Developer. He suddenly offered me a key for this game as a friend. When I was a bit younger and new to gaming, I tried to play GameDev Tycoon and Mad Games Tycoon and I was horrible at playing those. No matter what option I used - my games were always horribly rated. I gave up thinking that this is not my genre. But a couple years later and after playing lots and lots of variety of games -- the dev told me that I am gonna like it. He was right!! It's not a hardcore very complex "game builder" game. It doesn't provide too much options to feel overwhelmed and the language is easy to understand for a player like me who has no idea what coding is. But it still offers a lot of options to unlock and also offers difficulity settings. I tried in easy mode first and that was really easy to learn. Now I am playing on normal recommended mode and I am doing just fine. My virtual games are not failing horribly, not giving insulting comments, instead I am getting a balanced review where some games are doing really well, some are just mediocore.. For the first time I am getting the courage to try to play a game on hardcore mode, to be honest. Completely recommemded!! I'd be happy if the developer starts giving it some more updates. I'd be more than happy to support and buy if he decides to release a Game Builder Tycoon 2. I am thankful for the gift, dev..
Fajna gierka, niestety na niewielką ilość czasu oraz powtarzalna, lecz na dobrej promocji warta.
iyi oyun fakat hızlı bitiyor, başarım kasanlara önerilir
Seamlessly abandoned after false hope of a new "Phase" even purchased on console which is stuck on 1.5 where achievements are impossible to get due to the fact you are forced to retire too. Devs have moved onto another quick money maker. Shame because its actually a pretty decent game, i wouldn't pick it up full price knowing how the support has seemingly just stopped.
ドパガキはすぐゲームオーバーになるゲームです 結構楽しいっすよ
