Also, 20 years later:
My PS3 outsold the wii with 18m sold in its first year, with my near launch music game "Rhythm Skirts 4" selling more than 31m copies in it's first 6 months! People buy multiple copies of my game just because it's so good.
Top 5 best selling games:
Rhythm Skirts 4: 31.8 m
Rhythm Skirts 3: 25 m
Rhythm Skirts 2: 25 m
World of Crap 4: 25 m
Sim Harbor 2: 23 m
I want a fleshed out sequel to this game, now!

Yeah, I'm loving this. 7 or 8 years in at the moment, just hired & trained Miyamoto and our latest game, Samurace (it's the finest Samurai based Racing game on the market) has cracked half a million sales and won an award for its graphics.
I can see this one is going to drain my battery and cause me to miss transport stops.

Just played my first 20 years and completely screwed up everything. God, my company is so bad. Ive only developed for the PC and the GameBoy, because I could never pay the licensing fees. The reviewers were assholes, too. Im gonna start a new game after work today and hope Ill do better this time.
What amazes me the most is the fact that I really played this game for hours without a break. I usually get bored with games quick, take a lot of breaks, etc. but I couldnt stop playing this one (even though I suck).

While the game is selling, I give my people light work and have them do contracts. Then, back to the grind!
EDIT: Haha, my Dungeon Dive series (Action RPG + Dungeon) spin off, DungDiv XTRA! (Action RPG + Fantasy) sold like gangbusters! Debut at #3 with only a 21.
EDIT 2: And now our next game is a Hunting Sim on the Playgear.
My development house, Cubic Mouth, is really activi-cubic -- my biggest sellers (and award winners) are "reversifortune 5-7" and "robocarz 2-4". "arrrgh hero," my pirate music game, did well until "arrggh hero 3," and sales declined at "arrrggh hero 5." surprisingly, my skirt online sim game, "upskirt" was the highest new IP debut I had, but I felt the franchise wasn't exploitable enough, so I made a killing (heh) on the "ChaneyHunt" franchise to fund the development of my 64-bit, BD-ROM console. booyah!

I'm openly playing this at my desk. Yes, I have other work to do. No, it isn't as important.
I'm feeling a genuine sense of pride for the team I've put together and the progress we've made in the industry (even if it is off the back of some Game Kid Sequelz). It can't be healthy.
The last game from Smokysoft was called 'Dungeon Minge'. We should collaborate.

This looks awesome I will definitely be picking it up for my ipod touch.
After suffering through tons of shovelware for the early handhelds, Diggity Games finally started to hit it big with the new PlayStatus console.
Our gritty war shooter, Scout of Honor, sold nearly 2 mill.
Followed it up with our Fantasy RPG, Orcs 'n Cheese. another 2 mill.
Then moved on to the new Intendo Game-Box, where all hell broke loose. Our Fantasy Advenure title, TrailerVania, moved 5.5 mill units!
Now we've decided to try out that new handheld, the Intendro DM, with a totally different type of game. Our dating sim, Date Line, also went big with another 6 mill!
Our developers are on their way to swimming in Ferraris and whores.

For anyone interested, I wrote a small review for Game Dev Story, which I bought solely because of GAF's recommendations.
I love this game.

Reviewers might have slammed FireBots6 (action robot game) and ended the series but it set a company sales record at over 8 million copies. GAF am cry!
I'm also neglecting old racing game ips like Sega and cranking out more new games! Best one off I did was SpyBurn (action spy game) at the end of the Playstatus lifespan and it was a massive hit.
F-ing Nintendo company and their huge license fees. Did two DS games that did well but cost way too much to develop.
The game is so damn good.

I've got a question... Is there any way to control which employee works on graphics/sound after alpha/beta? It only ever gives me the choice of one free employee, then 3 outsourced people. And the free employee usually isn't the person with the highest stats in that particular category.

I find that during the bug phase if you need to do some last minute fixes to the game you can still use the items to improve the game. Every bug you fix gives you more resources so you should be able to use items a few times over pushing for final.

Some can't do dedicated jobs, like the Hacker doesn't seem to be able to do the Proposal, and a Director can't do the music. Only a Coder or a Sound Engineer can, respectively.
EDIT: And I just did a Game Co Simulation on the Uranus that shipped 2 million units week one, and got a 36. BOOYAH!
EDIT 2: Fuck me, it sold 9mil total!!!!

edit: I have three writers, one programmer... This is not good..

I have a hacker (Walt Sidney) who can do the game proposal, but another who can't. Is there anywhere where it lists what people can or can't do?Chorazin said:

Someone got the award of worst game for Last Fantasy, :lol
For a second I thought it was my Last Legend game
But damnit fucking reviewers always give me shit scores.
My dating sim game did rather good (Loverz, lol), now I'm making a romance simulator, whatever that is. Staff is very excited, says it's a great combination!
Edit: Twilightz has sold over 500k units!

OMG. I think I finally found a reason to buy an Iphone or an Ipod Touch (this also works on the Ipod Touch right? Sorry, I'm a noob on all things Apple)
