Game dev studio

Game dev studio was an Android idle tycoon about starting in a garage and ending with an empire: ten employees, managers, game-type and console combos, buildings and boosts. It was completed (v1.0, per Almost Idle's record of roughly 13,000 views), then delisted so thoroughly that this pass could not resolve its Google Play package ID from any angle: quoted search, unquoted search, APK mirrors all empty. The Almost Idle listing is the surviving record.

What it was

A mobile studio-tycoon idle from the mid-2010s wave, Android-only despite the web-game guess in this entry's brief (corrected here). Almost Idle filed it under Clicker and Idler with development status Completed, and its theme was the standard garage-to-empire arc: hire employees and managers, pick game type and console combos, buy buildings and boosts. The five images above, from the Almost Idle listing, are everything: no favicon, no og:image, no dev site, no store listing, no video.

Playing it today

You cannot. Distribution appears to have been Google Play exclusively, the store listing is gone, and no mirror, developer site or alternative storefront has surfaced. The Almost Idle record preserves the description and screenshots, which is the closest thing to playing it that remains.

The verdict

A historical stub with the honest label: delisted, package ID unresolved and recorded as such rather than guessed. Disambiguated from Daid's Steam Game Dev Studio and Game Dev Tycoon.
