Pocket Studio Desktop Companion

Game overview

Pocket Studio Desktop Companion is a simulation game where you take on the role of a developer working for a small game studio that operates from the corner of your screen. The tiny game developer has ideas and ambition but lacks coding skills. You are responsible for typing code, which corresponds directly to game development. You create game titles by selecting a name, genre, topic, and target audience, such as "Cyberpunk Racing for Teens" or "Farming Horror."

Game development process

As you type on your keyboard (whether in an email, document, or code editor) your input becomes lines of code that fuel the project's development. You decide what games the studio creates by setting parameters at the start of the project, but the results of these creative choices are uncertain. Successful combinations may lead to hit games while others may flop. After each game is released, you receive feedback in the form of review scores and financial outcomes, which can inform future projects.
