Launching March 27, 2025 - The indie game development tycoon receives a major update focused on studio customization and console manufacturing
Independent developer Binogure Studio is pleased to announce the upcoming "Studio Blueprint" update for City Game Studio, launching March 27 alongside a limited-time 35% discount on Steam. Following its successful feature in Steam's Daily Deal, this beloved tycoon simulation continues to expand with community-driven improvements.
ABOUT THE UPDATE
Following the successful v1.21 update that introduced the Studio Director feature, the "Studio Blueprint" update delivers two major enhancements requested by the community:
- Studio Templates: Players can now create and save custom studio layouts as blueprints, allowing for quick and consistent furnishing of multiple offices. This long-requested feature eliminates the need to recreate office designs from scratch with each expansion.
- Dynamic Console Manufacturing Costs: In a nod to realism, console manufacturing costs will now decrease based on sales volume. The more units sold, the cheaper each console becomes to produce, allowing for better long-term profitability of hardware ventures.
These features build upon the extensive improvements made in recent updates, including the powerful Studio Director system that automates game development tasks and provides more strategic management opportunities.
ABOUT CITY GAME STUDIO
City Game Studio is a deep management simulation that puts players in control of their own game development company from 1976 onward. Starting in a small office with minimal resources, players can:
- Manage multiple studios across an evolving city landscape
- Develop custom game engines and hit titles
- Create their own gaming hardware and digital storefronts
- Compete with (and potentially acquire) rival companies
- Navigate the changing landscape of gaming history from the 1970s to present day
- Set up marketing campaigns and attend conventions
- Handle publishing contracts or self-publish games
- Build, furnish, and maintain office buildings
- Crack competitors' games or spy on rivals
- Manage employee happiness and productivity
The game features multiple difficulty options, including a sandbox mode for players who want complete creative freedom. With both the new Studio Director feature and the upcoming Studio Blueprint system, players can focus on the strategic aspects of running a game company while automating repetitive tasks.
First released on Steam and GOG, City Game Studio has built a dedicated community of management simulation enthusiasts, with recent features in Steam Daily Deal helping to expand its player base. The game continues to be developed by a solo developer with regular updates based on community feedback.
DEVELOPER QUOTE
"With the 'Studio Blueprint' update, I'm focusing on quality-of-life improvements that our community has been requesting," says Xavier (aka Binogure), the solo developer behind City Game Studio. "The studio templates feature will save players significant time when expanding their game development empire, while the dynamic console manufacturing costs add another layer of strategic depth to hardware development."
DISCOUNT DETAILS
From March 27 through April 3, 2025, City Game Studio will be available on Steam with a 35% discount, bringing the price down from $15.99 to $10.39. This follows the game's successful feature in Steam's Daily Deal earlier this year, which introduced many new players to the simulation.
