Who makes the games
DVN Software is Daniel. He designs and programs the games, and also looks after the trailers, this website and the store pages.
Retro Empire is made in the open: the demo is free, it gets new versions often, and what players say in the in-game survey and on Discord decides what gets fixed first.
Games
Retro Empire
Free demo on Steam and itch.io. Early Access in March 2027.
A simulator about running a second-hand video game shop. You buy stock from people around town, fix what arrives broken, put a price on it and sell it.
How the studio works
An open demo
The Retro Empire demo is free on Steam and itch.io and gets new versions often, with fixes and with what players ask for.
What players say
At the end of the demo there is a two-minute survey. Its answers, plus what comes in on Discord and by email, set what gets fixed first.
PC and Steam Deck
Retro Empire runs on Windows and Linux, works on Steam Deck, plays start to finish with a controller and comes in 11 languages.
