'''''Game Dev Story''''' by [[Kairo Soft]] is a small indie game for the iPod and Android; a PC version was released but only in Japan. In it, you are the president of a fledgling video game company just after the crash and just before Intendro is to release a new console. Your job is to make as much money as you can within 20 years, perhaps even releasing your own console. [[File:gamedevstory1a_9100.gif|frame]]
 
 
Though released with little fanfare, the game has gone on to see critical and commercial success. As an affectionate parody and look back at the last 20 years of video games as well as poking fun at video game development, ironically, some of the most avid fans are game developers themselves.
 
Due to the success of the game, Kairosoft has announced they will be making a sequel. In addition, they have licensed out the game to another developer to make on Facebook. And lastly, toTo prove that they're not done poking fun at the video game industry, they released [[No Export for You|(in Japan only)]] a sister game called ''Waiwai! The Game Dealer'' in which you play the owner of a video game store who must sell video games to customers.
 
Subsequently, Kairosoft has gone on to make additional simulation games such as ''Hot Springs Story'' and ''Grand Prix Story.'' You may notice a pattern here.
