Shovelware Inc Windows, Mac, Linux game

Shovelware Inc places you in charge of your very own game studio. Develop games, exploit workers, break promises and do whatever it takes to make a profit.

Hire employees of varying skill and cost from the simulated job market. Maximize exploitation by managing employee happiness and temperament. Cut pay, force overtime and fire people to maximize profit, but don’t push them too far or they’ll leave and never return.

You control the work that gets done. WIll you focus your efforts on marketing while letting game quality decay? Will you hire as many of the cheapest employees possible to churn out games fast? Will you optimize your staff to find the easiest going, most exploitable band of fools the game industry has ever seen?

Maximize profits by choosing from a variety of different production models. Develop Asset Flips, Stock RPG Maker RPGs, Basic Visual Novels and even Overambitious Kickstarter Projects. Boost sales by focusing on marketing over development. Increase profitability by releasing games to Early Access and abandoning them.

Sometimes life gives you lemons. Will you suffer at the cruel hands of fate or will you use the lemons to burn life’s house down? Will you throw a frivolous lawsuit at the YouTuber who gave you a bad review? Will you violate international copyright law to save money on assets?
