Game Designer Simulator Selected for Eastern Game Fest!
Hello everyone! We are thrilled to announce that Game Designer Simulator has been officially selected for the Eastern Game Fest. We’d also like to take this moment to wish all our players a very happy holiday!As a pixel-art urban simulation RPG rooted in authentic local life, our goal wasn't to recreate some "AAA corporate myth." Instead, we wanted to tuck the dream-chasing stories of today’s youth into a vibrant pixel world. Inspired by the inclusive and bustling energy of Shanghai, we created Luoshandu—a fictional city alive with "urban soul."There are no over-the-top fantasies here. Instead, you’ll find the grounded reality of Eastern street life: the nerves of a fresh graduate in a big city, the grit of those fueled by passion, and the warmth of a close-knit community. We’ve poured years of indie dev perseverance and the bittersweet journey of chasing dreams into every corner of Luoshandu. It’s more than a game; it’s a miniature of local life, capturing the true heart of the modern "Chinese Dream."Exclusive Steam Livestream: Now Live!To celebrate the Eastern Game Fest, our exclusive Steam livestream is in full swing!

Game Designer Simulator First Playtest Wrap-Up: Thank You for Playing!
Greetings, future "Star Designers"!The first-ever Playtest for Game Designer Simulator has officially come to a close! Since this was our very first public test, the game naturally had its fair share of rough edges. However, thanks to your active participation and rigorous playtesting, we managed to identify and squash a ton of bugs that slipped under our radar during development. We want to extend our deepest gratitude to everyone who played, actively reported bugs, and shared their invaluable feedback with us!Based on the most frequent feedback we received during the test, we’ve put together a solid optimization plan and development roadmap. Today, we want to give you an inside look at what's coming next: 1. Gameplay Optimizations & AdjustmentsAddressing the learning curve of the "Card System":We noticed that many players found the card mechanics a bit confusing to grasp. After internal discussions, we've decided not to overhaul the core mechanics of the card system for now, as we want to preserve the game's intended strategic depth and underlying logic. Instead, we will completely revamp and optimize the in-game text descriptions, UI tooltips, and tutorials. We will make the rules much more straightforward and crystal clear to solve the "I don't get it / I don't know what to play" confusion.Regarding the "Surfing" and other minigames:Message received! We’ve heard your roasts loud and clear. We are currently working on tweaking the controls and feedback of the "Surfing Minigame" to ensure a much smoother and more enjoyable experience. At the same time, we will also optimize and expand the variety of minigames in Phase 2 ("Official Employment"), so you can experience more fun and diverse content in future playthroughs.2. Future Development RoadmapOur dev team is currently working in overdrive, and our next major updates will revolve around these three core directions:Deeply polishing the "Corporate Grind" Chapter (Phase 2: Official Employment) Besides the continuou...Read full article on Community Announcements (Dafunk)AnnouncementsOfficial
