How to avoid bankruptcy in GDT, Capitalism and Economy Fest, and more

Happy New Year, everyone!

**Steam Capitalism and Economy Fest

Game Dev Tycoon is taking part in the Steam Capitalism and Economy Fest with a 60% discount until January 15th! What a fitting event for a game like Game Dev Tycoon! 😁

**How to avoid bankruptcy

**

In Game Dev Tycoon, your success isn’t measured only by how many 10/10 games you make - and All Games isn’t making this task easy - but also by your ability to keep your development company going and growing. The biggest challenge is avoiding bankruptcy, which is hard enough without the ultra-hard Pirate Mode, so we thought of sharing a few tips to make your playthrough a little easier!

• Save up a good amount of money before moving on to level 2. This can help you experiment with topics a little and gain more experience.

• Medium games work best if you have a team of 3, so your aim should be to get to 2 additional workers. Be mindful when you grow your team since staff members are expensive!

• Fans are important, and to get more fans you should try to take publishing deals. This will help you later on when you want to successfully self-publish games.

• Be very careful what publishing contracts you take. Publishers often suggest not-so-ideal combinations which can lead to bad scores and you having to pay a penalty.

• If you have trouble thinking of what audience is better for what platforms, just think of the best-selling games of the real-world equivalent console and what audience these games target.
