Mad Games Tycoon 2 — Future Content Pack

A community content pack that extends the Realism Mod all the way to the year 2080. Realism already carries the game to ~2042; from there the timeline goes quiet — no new tech, no new consoles, and smartphones stop dead in 2026. This pack fills that gap.

It adds three new technology levels (12 → 14), driven by a full chain of dated engine features and buildable hardware, plus new consoles, handhelds, a revived smartphone race, arcades, and updated copy-protection / anti-cheat systems — each releasing at a fitting date, with its own icon, and retiring on schedule as its successor arrives.

Nothing is overwritten destructively. The installer backs up every file it touches and can be fully reverted with uninstall.ps1.

Requirements

Mad Games Tycoon 2	The base game.
Realism Mod (GS-Games) — required	This pack is built on top of Realism and injects into its data files. Realism Mod guide · latest version thread

This pack will not work on a vanilla (un-modded) install — it targets the Realism Mod's RealismMod/Text/DATA data set.

---

Installation

1. Make sure the Realism Mod is installed and working first.
2. Place the FutureContentPack folder in the game's root directory (next to Mad Games Tycoon 2.exe) — where you found it.
3. Right-click install.ps1 → Run with PowerShell (or in a terminal: powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File install.ps1).
4. Start a NEW game. Platforms and features are read at game creation, so existing saves won't fully pick up the new content.

To remove it: run uninstall.ps1 — it restores the original files from the automatic backup and deletes the pack's icons.

The installer is safe to re-run (it detects an existing install, at any version), preserves the required UTF-8 BOM and CRLF line endings, and only ever appends new entries or edits the handful of platforms that now have successors. It verifies its own output before finishing.

Repairing a save made with v0.1.0

v0.1.0 had a line-ending bug that made the game misread the two edited PC entries and six successor links — "Modern PC" showed technology level 1 instead of 14, and six late platforms pointed at 1990s consoles as their successor. Those values are baked into the savegame at game creation, so reinstalling the pack does not reach a game already running.

Run fixsave.ps1 to repair existing saves in place:

.\fixsave.ps1 -DryRun    # report what it would change
.\fixsave.ps1            # repair, backing each save up to .\backup_saves\ first

It only touches saves that actually contain this pack, skips saves that are already correct, and rewrites nothing but the affected numbers. Games started after installing v0.1.1 or later never need it.

Every superseded console is also retired on a realistic schedule (~2 years after its successor launches), so the market transitions cleanly instead of every platform selling forever.
