So it’s been a while since I launched Indie Dev Story, it was back in 2017, and it’s now 2024!

I was looking at my itch.io account the other day and realised that people were still playing it, which was cool to see.

I went back to play it again and had a lot of fun. I decided that I wanted to launch it on Steam so that more people could play it. I decided to update the game rather than just launching the itch.io version. So I got to work improving and fixing stuff for the Steam launch and that’s where this patch comes in:

Here are the main changes for the itch.io build:

Localisation - The game is now in (English, French, Spanish, Russian, Simplified Chinese)
Updated Engine Version - You won’t see much change with this its more of a base project thing but I updated from Unreal Engine 4.12 to Unreal Engine 4.25)
Tweaks to the UI to help improve readability
Added in new easter eggs - Added the names of some of my new games and game developer friends to the auto name generator
Fixed bugs - Found and fixed some bad bugs like; not getting the correct end score, bills not coming out of your money as well some smaller misc bugs
Optimised - Optimised the game to help it run better
