Rubbish.

Rubbish that I love, but rubbish nonetheless.

GamersGoMakers attempts to make a more feature-rich version of Game Dev Tycoon, but with worse visuals and humor that's so dated, it feels ancient (who was still making Chuck Norris jokes in 2014?). There are some nice quality-of-life features, and it can almost form into something compelling when everything fits together, but it's woefully unfinished and not nearly as polished as it should be.

The best thing that could be said about GGM is that it's fully customizable. Perhaps the developer didn't intend for you to start each new game with five hundred million dollars in the bank, but with a simple edit to a .txt file in the game's directory, you absolutely can. There's a mod that you can pay for that addresses this "feature," and although all of the added content is neat, I don't actually recommend buying it if you intend to get into GGM for some ungodly reason. Some of the added content is a bit finicky, and, in my experience, it broke my game in ways that didn't make it unplayable but less enjoyable to play.
