Hello developers!
Today is a huge milestone for GameOn! — the game officially leaves Early Access and launches as Version 1.0!
Since the start of Early Access, GameOn! has grown far beyond its original feature set. Over the past months, feedback, reviews, bug reports, and ideas helped shape what the game became: a rich, deep, and fully realized management simulation about building your dream game studio from the ground up.
Version 1.0 represents the full vision: refined, expanded, polished — and now feature-complete.
What’s New Since Early Access?
Here’s just a fraction of what was added during the early access period and in this final build:
Major New Systems
Custom Poster Creation System
External image import support for posters
Decoration with custom framed posters
Hardware development and publishing
Custom game engines
Company Policy system (vacation, birthdays, hygiene, utilities, etc.)
Detailed financial and fan base graphs
Object placement, rotation and scaling
A massive library full of models, including animations and light systems
First-person studio exploration

Thank You
Thank you to everyone who tested, reported bugs, suggested ideas, and helped steer development.
GameOn! is where it is today because of you. I hope you enjoy the full release and everything it brings.
I’ll continue to fix bugs, polish systems, and listen to feedback — and if you have suggestions for post-release improvements or future features, feel free to share them.
Have fun building your dream studios, creating legendary games, decorating your offices, and designing beautiful posters.
Your legacy starts now.
Patrick — Solo developer of GameOn!
Launch Discount
To celebrate the full release, GameOn! is now available with a temporary launch discount.
This discount is valid only during the 1.0 launch release period.
It’s a “thank you” to everyone who supported the game early, and a welcoming offer to new players discovering the game for the first time.
Price Adjustment
As part of the full release transition, I want to be transparent:
The price of GameOn! will increase after the launch discount period ends.
GameOn! has grown enormously since Early Access began. Multiple major systems were built, visuals were improved, and the scope of the game is significantly larger than it was at release.
Because of that, the price will be adjusted to better reflect the complete product.
Until the end of the launch period, the current price remains active — plus the launch discount on top of it.
If you’re on the fence, now is the best time to pick up the game at its lowest price.
