I think this is because of the optional d-pad control? Which makes very little sense anyway, because if they got rid of that option, you could have the multiple news boxes (max 3?) all displayed at once. Hopefully there'll be an update, or a refined sequel. Retina display gfx would be nice too. How about some multiplayer too? :OAstroLad said:Still a lot of oddly wasted space even on the iPhone.

I might give this a try. Perhaps I'll wait for a sale.

Mmm, I'm not sure about that first one.
The second is meant to be Jack Kirby I'm sure though, the comic artist.

Damnit, I would be all over this if I owned an iOS system. I'll play this on my mother's iPad when I go home for thanksgiving.

This is a good year for me. My new online RPG Butt Cavern hit #1, and was Buttplug Games' first million seller, our dating sim "Uguu" won best design and my town sim Erection Town won best music, and we moved into new offices.

Oh god why did those game titles make me laugh so much? :lol :lol
This game is destroying my productivity.
I haven't had a game review over 20 yet. One guy gave it a 4 and said "At least I got paid to play it...". Sucks to be them, it ended up selling over 100k in it's first few weeks.
I get the feeling the most fun is in the first few years as you discover everything and what works well. I'm sure there's plenty of min/maxing I could do but I'm having more fun seeing what results you get. My wrestling puzzle game "TNA Tetris" sold 50k despite reviewing 16/40 and being a fully niche title.
Hopefully the game is random so that you're not always finding the same combinations work each time you play.

This fucking game.
I spent about 4 straight hours on it tonight. I think it might be a little too close to real life - after early success with the 8-bit consoles, I burned through cash a little too crazy and couldn't afford to get licenses for the newer consoles. I've been reduced to making crappy quick cash grabs for the handheld systems. :lol
As such, my pop star/celebrity themed shovelware is getting me back in the money.
They are getting panned but I'll be damned if they aren't moving 500K+ units a game. :lol
Something a little disturbing about keeping my director Shiggy knockoff chained to his desk pumping out shitty Jersey Shore trivia games.

I played this for hours last night instead of studying. :lol
I finished the 20 hours with the highlights being selling 2M+ copies of a game and winning 12 awards including one runner-up.
I found it impossible to get into the last generation with the insane licsense fees though.
Is it possible to get a worker who doesn't complain about being used multiple times in a row?

No. I just switch them out with contractors or other workers though every third project. Last genroosters93 said:
I was just making stuff for my own console (market leader! although the market got quite crowded toward the end)
Does anyone else find it funny that
the moon console is in the middle? Thought it was the last one and was disappointed but then there were a ton more.

Cool. I just read the manual, releasing games in the winter holidays is a good tip.
OK, found one thing that just doesn't make sense.
I made my own hardware, a handheld.
Sales were lukewarm. 3M in first couple of months.
Made a sequel to my top game for the handheld.
The game rocketed up the charts, outsold the hardware by miles, and the hardware sales didn't budge an inch.

Once you hit Year 12, if you're making games for the Game Box and have hackers on your team, you hit the Hall of Fame pretty much every single game. it's kind of ridiculous. I lost fans because I made 3 sequels to my dating sim "Densetsu no Uguu", but I could just counter act that with good marketing, and I made bucket loads.
I still haven't found a Hardware Engineer, so I'm waiting for that to make a console.
Sold 10 mill of Densetsu no Uguu 3. So good.

i don't even remember what year or whatever but by the midgame the only thing i was shooting for was a 40 score and a trillion bucks HOF wasn't even a question :lol
i would love to see a properly balanced full-featured Game Dev Story2
(still had a ton of fun with this game, of course)

I'm now on a roll of 8 Hall of fame games that sell at least 8 millions each.
Churning out sequels now like Activision.
Online Sim Romance -> 4 sequels all 8+million
Action RPG Ninja -> 5 sequels all 8+million
Motion golf -> 3 sequels all 6+million
Online RPG Fantasy "Wow" :lol -> 4 sequels all +9million -> Highest selling with 13,6 million :lol
I wish there was a game like this for PC but higher on scope with more deep than just 4 stats and professions that do nothing (I got a coder make the music and a sound engineer pitch the game, it makes no sense as they got quite high)
