"Poignant and deliberately frustrating." - DauntlessStudio

GameDev Simulator: 2024 Edition is a game created by belzimbub and Olly Yuu for GMTK Game Jam 2024.

The theme "Scale" made me imagine gaming companies' revenue charts along with their numerous layoffs. I wanted to express my frustration through a short experience about what it's like to be a game developer in the modern industry — to show that there are people behind any graph.
