The Story

Build the gym of your dreams in the first ever gym tycoon simulation management game. Gym Empire is the sim where you become a gym tycoon. Build, manage, hire staff and create your Gym Empire how you want. Will you build a commercial gym or specialise in a certain field? The choice is yours.

Gym Empire releases to Early Access on 21 July 2023.

Gym Empire Localisation

Hola a todos. ¡Espero que estén teniendo un excelente día!

Hey everyone. Hope you're having a great day!

We're pleased to announce that Gym Empire is now localised in Spanish alongside the existing Italian, French, German, Russian and Chinese localisations.

Gym Empire Demo Release

Hey crew!

It's not long until the Early Access Release! To keep you going until July 21st you can jump in to the brand new Gym Empire Demo. Which has all the awesome brand new features for you to play with.

Enjoy!

A Delayed Game Is Eventually Good

Shigeru Miyamoto said it best "A delayed game is eventually good, but a rushed game is forever bad."

Early Access Release
With that in mind we decided to push back the release of Gym Empire from March 27th 2023 to July 21st 2023 and pack Gym Empire with even more awesome content and customisation options ready for the Early Access release.



Gym Empire was already in a great state and fully ready for Early Access, but the more I saw people play the game the more I realised I wanted to put into it. The more I knew I could add in.

Feature Packed
Making sure the first impression is the best it can be is really important. But what's even more important than that is rewarding the awesome community with a fully personalised experience. A tycoon game that really gives you that feeling of building your OWN Gym. Giving the players customisation options that truly let them design a unique Gym.



These features were always going to be added to Gym Empire during Early Access. But I felt now is the right time for these features. To reward the community for their awesome support, to push even harder to make sure Gym Empire players are treated to the best experience possible straight away.

I can't wait for you all to get stuck in!

Gym Empire - Gym Tycoon Release Date Update

After a lot of though and consideration the Gym Empire Early Access release date has been updated to 12th July 2023.

Over the next four months, Gym Empire is going to evolve into an even greater and feature packed game. Giving you even more than was initially planned for Early Access.



The main reasons to move the Gym Empire release date into Summer 2023 are as follows:


  • Add more features to ensure Gym Empire is a feature rich experience
  • Allow more time for YouTube coverage in the build up to release
  • Enable Gym Empire to appear in the Summer Next Fest




Although it was a tough choice to make, as we want to get Gym Empire available to you as soon as possible. We genuinely believe that it is the right decision for the success of Gym Empire and the will give you the best experience from it.

Bring on Summer 2023!

Gym Empire - Gym Tycoon Early Access Release Date

A few years ago this moment felt like a long distant dream. A light at the end tunnel that I couldn't yet see...

Five Years Later


After five years of hard work, commitment and passion, with a huge amount of support from the community, the Gym Empire Early Access release date is finally coming. On 27th March 2023 Gym Empire will be available on Steam for $9.99. A reduced price (about 70% the cost at Full Release) for Early Access adopters and a way to say thank you to all the great support so far.



The road up until this point has taken many turns. With many changes going into the design and look of Gym Empire, most of which have come from great ideas in the community. One thing, however, has always remained clear in the road map for Gym Empire. Early Access will be a complete gameplay experience, providing a full slice of all the gameplay mechanics in the game. From this foundation, the next 6 months to a year of development will focus on fleshing out the existing mechanics by providing extra content and features.



Early Access


Gym Empire already focuses on a strong comedy element. With Clients suffering ridiculous accidents and radio DJ's Tom & Tom, AKA Biscuits and Gravy, providing a humorous background to the hard work and iron pumping of the Clients. Early Access development will plan to continue growing on the humour with Rival Gym, Celebrities and Monthly Awards. As well as expanding the variety and options for Gym development e.g. boxing rings, swimming pools and basketball courts.



I'm so excited for you to all start your Gym Empire and I hope you are too!

New Early Access Trailer

With the Gym Empire Early Access Release getting closer, now is the perfect time to release the new trailer.

Things have been quiet here on the page for a while, but that's because so much work has gone into Gym Empire over the last year. Adding features, increasing the scope and ironing out bugs. The most important thing is that the Early Access Release gives a full slice of the gameplay. Enabling us to build Gym Empire as a community together. That's why it's important we squash as many bugs as possible, to provide a smooth and enjoyable gameplay experience to build upon.

The awesome new trailer is just a taste of things to come. Enjoy!

Gym Empire Demo v0.4

Today is a big day. It's been a long road. Gym Empire is now available to play.

Playable Demo


This Test/Demo build represents only 10% of the finished game and serves two purposes. Helping us the developer and rewarding you the awesome and dedicated community for your superb support so far.

Alpha Test


The Alpha Test helps us to find as many bugs as possible. Especially those really annoying game breaking bugs. We've done our best to kill as many of those pesky bugs as possible. But due to our limited ability to do broad testing I know some of them will still be there. I apologise in advance for those annoying bugs that found there way through the cracks into this first build. But you are going to be the superheroes of this community that help us catch every one of those pesky bugs!

This is also an opportunity to highlight any features you would like to see, as there are many planned that are not present in the demo.

Demo


The other purpose of this build is to finally let you, the amazing community, get a taste of Gym Empire. It's been a long time coming and you all have been so dedicated and patient.

Access to the demo is on itch.io which is provided through a simple link in our Discord server:

Test Build 0.1

It's taken 3 years, but the first fully functioning test build for Gym Empire is complete. To date there has been a lot of functionality testing and bug catching. However this marks the point of the first full build. Fully functional from start to finish.

This build contains all the full functionality of the alpha demo. Once testing and bug catching has completed over the next couple of weeks, the alpha demo will be built ready for your first taste of Gym Empire. Make sure you're in the Discord to catch your copy: https://discord.gg/XPU6x5R

The alpha demo itself forms approximately 75% of the planned Early Access release. The Early Access release will contain all the core functionality of Gym Empire and provide a fully playable and exciting simulation tycoon management experience. The time in Early Access will be used to grow the game and provide advanced functionality.

I hope you're excited, because we sure are!

Don't forget to add Gym Empire to your wishlist so you don't miss out!
