You can only have one game going at a time I'm afraid, unless people have found a workaround I'm not aware of.

Before launching the game after it's completed, the option is something like "Change Title"

Just bought this today. I'm fucking addicted. Seven years in the game of making Ninja dating sims and ninja action games and rpgs and some asshat company beats me to the market it with my new Ninja Action game. ='(
How are you guys getting such ridiculous sales? I can't even afford console licenses =/

I've started 2 games/studios now and neither can catch a fucking break. First one was barely breaking even all the way to year 20. Second my highs are higher but my lows are definitely lower. Every big game I hype up/pour money into end up suffering from blackouts or being beaten to market. It fucking sucks, My highest selling game to date is 900k and thats on year 11. Am I hiring wrong? Not training workers enough? Bad direction? Should I just be pumping the fuck out of polish?

You have to train a guy to the max, then change their job role ( from the salesman ) - I think they have to be max levels at everything before it unlocks hardware engineer.

Make some pc-games/contracts to start. Get enough money to hire in more people. have at least one that's good in each category and don't use the same people for every game (outsource if you have to) Buy license to only one console at a time (to one that's recently started so it will be around for a while). Train/Level up, do marketing.

Just discovered there's a (Alpha) version of this out for Facebook. Only played with it for a couple of minutes but it seems pretty similar, aside from the facebook recruiting type aspect. The art style has been changed too and it looks horrible.

If you are late in the game you can also hire the Robot guy. He is a hardware engineer.

I got the link from a dude at Uber Entertainment's twitter so not entirely sure where it came from.
It does make mention of Kairosoft though, so maybe they licensed it or something?

They are partners by the looks of things:

(see the "Social App Version" section)
Kairosoft might want to supervise their port a bit closer next time...

Assuming the game has similar mechanics to GDS, I'd buy that soccer sim on day one...
OK, this game is great. I started off by making a trilogy of Animal Adventure games (AniMon), and really focused on the Quality, Innovation, and Fun Factor. They sold... OK. Kept the company afloat.
But for the fourth game I decided to make a racing spinoff - AniMon Kart. I rushed the game out, focused on high graphics, accessibility, and simplicity, and shipped it with loads of bugs. The game ended up selling over 100K, double my previous record :lol
LET THE MILKING BEGIN. I'm now starting work on AniMon Puzzle.

You may want to scroll up the page a tad.
Got a guy up to max level in all the jobs, and the Hardware Engineer job doesn't show up, for him. Yes I am scrolling, yes he is lvl 5 in all other skills, yes I am using the job change item. Hardware Engineer just isn't there as a job option :/ Virtually every guide, and this topic, say that is the only requirement. But clearly that isn't the case.
Since the game is ridiculously unbalanced at high levels, I was looking forward to making my own system as a nice little end-game challenge.
I guess I'll just have to stick to churning out sequels for my motion control romance franchise "Real Love" (yes, this is a real thing I did).

Game Studio Story just launched on Facebook yesterday. Seems to play exactly the same as the iPhone version and seems to have been done with the permission of the GDS devs. Pretty neat.

And even i am moderately surprised
i'm on my fourth play through and on this play through i specifically went for hardware (for the first time)
Easiest way seems to be to hire Mister X (who is already level 5 in a few job classes) and level him and switch his jobs. I had his as an H/W Engineer by Y6.
Just started playing today.
I got shigeru minamoto very early, hes amazing and im using him to build my company. The first game he made had like 70 fun value, it was awesome.
Currently ive got him as an amazing all-rounder and then a sound specialist, a graphics specialist and a not as good all-rounder. The problem im having is that when i ask each person to do what they are best at they complain any say things like "im doing the graphics again?". Well of course you are, you are only good at graphics. Is there any way to make them get past this without putting someone else on that specific area?
Is there a way to move to a bigger office/hire more people? Maybe that would fix it.

Oof, to play the Facebook game you need to spam people to play? Oh well.
I totally destroyed this game from year 15 and on...amazing game but it got wayyyyy too easy toward the end of it. 20-30+ million sellers every single time with little to no effort.
I was also amused that I created a console that sold about 18 million units....then I created a game that sold about 25 million copies for that console :lol
