It seems that you have played the preview version of Game Dev Tycoon before.
We are in the process of completing the final game but before we can submit the full game to the Windows Store we had to rename our preview release to Game Dev Tycoon Lite to prevent a naming conflict.
In this new lite version you can experience the first three years of the full game. The game has changed a lot since our first preview and while most changes happened in the later stages of the game some of them are also visible in the first few years.
We hope you like the changes and are looking forward to bringing you the full game soon.
