Let's Build a Dungeon

Run a game studio your way and see how things develop in this multi-layered management sim from Springloaded, the creators of Let's Build a Zoo. Review the resumes of hundreds of hopeful applicants as you staff your dream studio. Recruit and manage artists, programmers and planners to produce the new assets and mechanics that bring your creations to life, then balance development schedules, advertising campaigns and press relationships as you grow from a scrappy indie team into a development juggernaut. Will you risk financial ruin by delaying your game until it is perfect, or push your staff to breaking point with crunch time and salary cuts? Will you bow to community requests, or stay true to your creative vision? As a fledgling MMORPG developer, it is your job to build a fantasy world that keeps virtual players hooked while balancing the books. Design an expansive adventure filled with quests, towns, monsters and dungeons, tailored to your players' demands, then jump in-game at any time to ban rogue users or see your world from a new perspective. Increase drop rates if players are struggling, or boost enemy stats to keep them grinding for XP - the more time they spend in your world, the happier your investors will be. Creative Mode is an open sandbox where you can make your own games: write your own story, create dialogue and cutscenes, draw characters and adjust gameplay mechanics, then browse other players' creations or upload your own through the built-in game browser. Just Build Mode is a no-pressure, co-op enabled experience for up to 4 players that focuses purely on the joy of building the perfect RPG world, with randomly generated cards to expand and shape it. Campaign, Creative and Just Build modes are all included at launch, which arrives in early access on 11 February 2027 with the studio planning around 12 months of updates before a full 1.0 release.
