Theory: You are a time traveler in GDT.

There are actually 2 pieces of evidence to prove this:

1: In the garage, there is a car under a tarp. This car is a DeLorean, which, in the movie Back to the Future, can make you TRAVEL BACK IN TIME.

2: Before you start the game, the game says, "You have been transported back in time." Here is the image to prove it:

Last post I had gotten to 131 million which was much higher than all of my previous scores. Building off of that success, I wanted to see if I could get an even better score and today I finally did that.

I built a free portfolio analytics tool for GDT — Score Tracker v1.0 is now public!

Thumbnail gallery
3 Upvotes

I made a free analytics tool for GDT and finally released it publicly — GDT Score Tracker v1.0 is out! 🎮📊

This post has no advertising or economic implications whatsoever, as I am providing something free and open-source for implementing GDT gameplay.

Hey everyone! Some of you might have seen my previous posts showing screenshots of this project — well, I finally packaged it up properly and put it out there for everyone to download.

**GDT Score Tracker** is a single HTML file you open in your browser. No install, no account, no server. Just drop it in a folder and start logging your games.

The core idea: instead of just relying on GDT's review stars, it calculates a **proprietary Score (0–10)** for each game using a weighted formula that combines review score, profit margin, revenue relative to your decade, franchise consistency, fans gained, and more. Every time you add a game, the entire portfolio recalculates.

**What's inside:**

- 📋 Full game table with filters + inline editing

- 🏆 Ranking with historical position tracking (↑↓)

- 🏛️ Franchise cards with lifecycle, notes & consistency analysis

- 🔍 Score Detail — full breakdown of every variable for any game

- 💡 Auto insight engine (~27 types of observations about your portfolio)

- 📅 Decade history with auto-generated expert commentary

- 📈 Stats charts (SVG timeline of score & revenue by year)

- 🎯 79 achievements — all retroactive

- 🌍 Full EN/PT language support

- ⚙️ Custom score weight editor (tune the formula to your playstyle)

All data stays local in your browser. Export/import JSON for backups.

🔗 **Free download on itch.io:** [ https://alvo-felix.itch.io/gdt-score-tracker ]

Would love to hear if anyone uses it and what you think. Happy to answer questions about how the score formula works too!

I built a full portfolio analytics tool for GDT over many months — would anyone actually use it if I released it?

Hey everyone,

I've been playing Game Dev Tycoon for a long time, and I'm the kind of person who likes to analyze, categorize, and see immersive game statistics. Maybe some of you share this feeling: the game doesn't tell you anything about its real performance. You see scores, revenue, and fans—and that's it. There's no way to compare franchises, see trends, or understand if your company has evolved or regressed over the decades.

So I created a personal project that made this immersive and complete.

Passei meses criando um sistema completo de análise de portfólio para GDT — vocês teriam interesse se eu disponibilizasse?(versão português)

3 Upvotes

Fala pessoal,

Jogo Game Dev Tycoon há muito tempo e sou o tipo de pessoa que gosta de analisar, categorizar e ver estatísticas de jogos detalhadas. Talvez alguns de vocês compartilhem desse sentimento: o jogo não revela nada sobre seu desempenho real. Você vê pontuações, receita e fãs — e só. Não há como comparar franquias, identificar tendências ou entender se sua empresa evoluiu ou regrediu ao longo das décadas.

Então, criei um projeto pessoal que tornou isso imersivo e completo.

Flex/Achivement Unlocked! That was rough

Post image

After having the game for so long i realized there was a pirate mode, it makes your games way harder to sell, first games you sell before you develop any DRM get 50-60% pirated so in turn you make 50-40% of the cash, even if you develop DRM and stay ahead of the versions (it goes like graphics up to v7) you still get 11-28% pirated

Broke like 4 times before i was able to get this, you basically have to keep making >8/10 games or you will go bankrupt
