My name is Ryan Saunders, I was born in 1979 in Hamilton, Ontario Canada. I went to Mohawk College for computer science software engineering, and I have worked in the field for a while. About 5 years ago I decided I wanted to create solo games free from anyone else's ideas other than the players. This allows me to make games of passion, not of profit. Please refer to the main page of this website if you would like more detailed insight into my mind.
GDM Origins
Game Dev Masters is born from my love of the tycoon series, especially game dev simulation games. I have played, and love them all. They however all were lacking for me in a few areas, and no matter how many mods I made / used I could not get the experience I wanted. So I decided to just make the game a reality.
In order to make the game I wanted. It would need to be more competitive, it would need to use procedural generation to avoid "guides" and keep engagement. The difficulty would scale, and have a focus on complex end game. There had to be global leader boards with complex scoring systems, and it had to be fully 3D rendered graphics, and it would need to combine every feature from every game dev sim + my own ideas + community ideas.
I then made the fantastic decision to go public with a technical demo as early as possible. This allowed me to not be working alone very early into development. Some of the best features in the game came directly from player suggestions. I owe a great deal to the itch community for there support.
