Game Changer Part 1: V2.0.1
Staff Points
Putting the ‘Dev’ in Game Dev Life. All staff will now produce points!
These points will change depending on your model, staff and other factors.
More points means more game sales!
Cheaper Prices
EVERYTHING is cheaper! Over 25x cheaper which makes the game more realistic!
To balance this your current money will be reduced to match these prices and game profits will be lower.
Task Assignment
With the new staff points you can now assign tasks to the staff. Whether producing points, earning cash or doing nothing at all, it’s up to you!
Fresh new UI
Game Dev Life has a new facelift! All new user interface with a sleek red finish. User experience should be much more intuitive and the UI should be easier to use. It is also compatible with mobile and Xbox ready for the future!
Revamped Happiness System
Keep your staff happy! Your happiness models will now act as real physical items.
When staff use the machines they will occasionally break. You will need to play a very quick minigame to fix them!
Tiredness
When your staff work, they will now get tired and stressed. You will need to send them on vacation to help them recharge and relax!
Date System
The Game Dev Life universe will now have days, weeks, months and even years!
Now you can keep track of how many weeks your game is on sale without looking at the tab!
Revamped Staff Unlocking System
You will now have to unlock staff before being able to use them.
Additionally, you will now have to pay wages to some of the staff (Interns do not have a wage). This is in the form of a year contract and you will have the option to renew it each year!
Bitz Cost Change
Bitz is now cheaper, however prices have gone up. To balance this we have given everyone bitz according to the amount you had before so that the bitz in your account remains the same value.
Game Creation Menu
The Game Creation menu has been changed and includes the ability to cancel your game and go back to previous options!
Bitz to Cash
Due to popular request we are now allowing players to exchange Bitz to in-game cash! Currently there are only a few options at a set level but this will probably change in the future!
Staff Stats
Staff now have stats which show their ability on different things such as Coding!
Better stats will produce more points. New Stats: Coding, Writing, Graphics, Sound, Speed, Time
Note: Speed and time will release in a future update.
Model Stats
Models will now have stats similar to staff!
Cheaper Crates
Cosmetic Skin Standard Crates are now cheaper per robux than before! There are also some new items in the crate pool.
DoubleJGames Group Bonus
All members of the DoubleJGames Roblox group will now receive increased sprint speed of 20%!
Dave’s Daily Deal
When you join and recieve a login bonus, there is a chance Dave will offer you a deal! This may be crates, bitz or something else!

All models can now be upgraded 2 levels per PPC. These increase the stats mentioned above and help make your games better!
