Game Dev Tycoon Sliders Explained - Complete Guide

Understanding Game Dev Tycoon Sliders

The slider system in Game Dev Tycoon determines how your development team allocates their effort across different aspects of your game. Getting these right is crucial for high review scores.

The Three Development Stages

Your game goes through three stages, each with three sliders:

Stage 1:

• Engine
• Gameplay
• Story/Quests

Stage 2:

• Dialogues
• Level Design
• AI

Stage 3:

• World Design
• Graphics
• Sound

Technology vs Design (T/D) Ratio

Each genre has an optimal balance between Technology and Design points:

• Action games: More Technology (60/40 T/D)
• RPG games: Balanced with slight Design focus (45/55 T/D)
• Casual games: More Design (30/70 T/D)
