Hard to master as it has a unique mathematical algorithm to rate the games you make based on a number of different variety of mixing. The only problem is... the algorithm can be touchy and picky once you starts combining genres and other 'devices' to a certain topic. So it makes it a bit difficult to get around, but once you get the hang of it, you might be playing it more and more.… Expand

It allows you to go back to 1980 build a game company from your garage to office to big office. This game has various possibilities and can be hilarious at time cause you can name anything anything and the game doesnt notice. You can make any kind of game you want in genre and topic terms. This game only has a one slot save system and an autosave so you may lose a lot. All the consoles are real but in parody names. This game is very hard and recommended you have a guide because this game is alot of guessing. The music is nice and not annoying like other sim game like civilization. The game has no bugs at all and never crashes. Buy it its a good game for the collection… Expand

Although I would have enjoyed an award ceremony for your games, a better reviews system, some better statistics for your game and your company and some competition like some rival development studios. But regardless of that its still a deeply enjoyable game for a small price of $8. And you do get to make your own engine, make MMO's, take on contracts, make games for other Publishers and you even get to make your own console, in my opinion this game is worth the buy. And I cannot wait for a sequel, so i give this game an 8/10.… Expand

   This is a neat little game, and every part of me wants to like it, because there are a lot of things that are just not right about it. SoThis is a neat little game, and every part of me wants to like it, because there are a lot of things that are just not right about it. So first the good, it does a good job of pacing the game development process and gives all kinds of possibilities for you to work with. It has a nice atmosphere and is nicely in-depth while still being fairly accessible. The general interface is simple, but it leans more towards the streamlined side of the spectrum than on anything severely dumbed down. The technological development process if nice and it's kind of interesting to see how the consoles develop, even if I tend to just ride the PC train until the end destination.
   
   There is some weird stuff about inaccuracies, such as how the publishers are only one-time deals (which isn't how it works AT ALL, in fact most companies get trapped), but I'm willing to let that one slide since that wouldn't be fun. The rating system makes me chuckle (basically, to determine how good the game is, you get four magazine scores which are #/10) because every time I do REALLY well I just laugh because there's always ONE magazine that gives me a lower score. My favorite was one where I had three tens and then one random seven. Also, the size of your company's staff is... not huge. In fact it's downright dinky. So for every person I like to think there's closer to five or ten.
   
   Now, all this said... there is a bit of a problem. And unfortunately it's a core mechanic. When making a game, you have sliders for each attribute of the game at three different stages, and you shift the attributes according to the type of game you're making. It's very important you get this right, otherwise you could accidentally make a horrible game. Well... in order to do this, it's kind of nice to have percentages or something else quantifiable. Shame this game doesn't do that. On top of that, that particular part is very poorly tutorialized, in fact while it gives you information about the priorities, it doesn't teach you how to translate them into your sliders. RPG's in particular can be catastrophic because translating everything is nightmare inducing. Mods help this, but the game doesn't get any points for that in my book.
   
   It's a good game at heart, but it has some little things in desperate need of help. this seems like a good group of devs, and their heart is in the right place. I'm glad a supported this game, and I think that it deserves to be successful, I just hope they patch what needs fixing.… Expand
