I played through my first time blind - was an okay experience, but I have to admit I felt overwhelmed. I found myself watching this video and audibly saying "ohhhhhh" with relief on how to solve the issues I came across. Thank you for the video brother.

Thank you. Apart from the first one, all these taught me something :) This game is WAY deeper than it looks at first.

I appreciate these tips! I realized I have been playing this game like Game Dev Tycoon which is a recipe for failure in this game when you mentioned the single dev

I am playing on random and trying to figure out where is the indicator that eventually tells you, you found a good pairing sub genre. You know, as they do for topic? They turn red or green once you figured it out. I didn't see this for Genre.

Very informative, thanks a lot! Greetings from Germany :)

Good tips. Quick, clear, explanatory. Thumbs up!!

When it comes to purchasing developers/publishers, you need to also make sure there are no active or pending contracts.

Thank you for this! I am struggling on my first run so this will be very helpful for the next one

Those are pretty good tips. Thx!

Thanks for the tips!

Wow. I was just being a boob and didn't check this out sooner. Also the pace was so quick. Straight to the point. Hope all is well and keep up the great work.

Very nice tips dude great video thanks

Great list of advices

By mid game (1985-1990) I always keep 8 training rooms with 6 slots each, one room for each skill. Then I hire young employees with Talented and keep they training non-stop there. In 1 to 2 years they reach 90 skill and can already replace some employees. I keep doing it until I cycle through my entire company, raising everyone to 90+ skill.

Thank you for making this video

Appreciate the tips, I look forward to levelling up my play. That extra focus on development will be a game changer, i couldn't understand why my early game games are so unbalanced.

I always manually adjust my console sales to sell at a loss of $10 each week for the first 2 years after the release to bolster my market share percentage that way my games I make sell to a higher percentage of potential customers. I've found that it's about the only way to consistantly keep pace with the big manufacturers earlier on in the console wars. It's not as important to sell at a loss around 2020ish as by then your reputation should pretty much carry your sales. *If you do sell at a loss, you need to be constantly pumping out hits and making use of the rerelease features from self publishing or you will go bankrupt fast lol* Game of the year releases are very effective at stretching your income between new releases. The hardest part about self publishing is being able to gauge the sales numbers in advance. Marketing teams are good for stretching those sales figures too but be mindful of how much you are spending against how much you are earning. Also marketing is KEY to finding the right staff early on as they can hold hiring events for specific jobs and vastly improve your employment options. I generally have office workers taking up 50% of my employees. I try to have 3 or 4 marketing rooms at a minimum and an equall amount of support rooms if not double. 1 support room for support, 3-4 for propaganda, and at least 2 for selling merch by the time PS2 releases. Merch sales are based on a variety of things like the strength of your IP, how well trained your office workers are, and most importantly the number of fans you have. I never even bother researching arcade cab workshops. Technicians are more profitable to just have in console development and to take the odd jobs for testing competitors hardware between actual development. I have about 40 technicians trained to be ready to drop a console in about 6 months after the research is finished or 1 year if I split them up to launch 2 consoles simultaneously around 2001ish. The earlier you are to the market with the latest tech the better in most cases. I should also mention that I prefer to play on the warehouse map or other maps that have similar large areas to work with.

Thanks for the help man

Much appreciated!

Great guide, I'm doing fairly well on Mad Game Tycoon 2 but always looking for improvement. Have you done a guide on getting studio rating up quickly or is it only tied to game awards?

Thanks!

Thanks

Hey umm can u show me how will I get over 70% rating on every main genres example action, adventure. I don't understand the steam one. Can u like make a video or post some screenshots?

Thanks a lot for the video. What is the "exclusive discount" label when you are choosing platforms for a game?

i have few questions and i have a feeling you know a lot about the game since the internet doesnt (except that one big wiki post on steam) 1) how much does the "special platform" feature in the engine creation matter? i usually make multiplatform games and always have pc as a platform and since it never gets updated like consoles i tend to make pc the special one. Also on this topic, the placement of platforms in the four platform space matter? 2) is there a way to retire/end job/ etc.? i have reached the peak a little too much that there is no challenge at all. Is there a way to close my company or etc.? 3) The distance between a room and the other room thats supporting it matter? 4) does the multiple marketing options matter or just auto-ing the most expensive one, the tv is enough? 5) what does the option that makes employees get controlled by ai.. do? 6) can you make goty editions, bundles, distrubition option stuff, without doing it yourself? Like, can you make a publisher to do your production stuff? Also on the topic of this can you advertise games of your subsidiares(?) without selfpublishing it? Like as they publish it with another publisher and i just market it using my marketing division 7) which stat do you need for the best lead dev? 8) and finally, can the companies you bought as subsidiaries(?) develop consoles? because lets say if i want to buy atari it says itll take every console off the market. Will they continue after i buy their company or they just.. dont?

Thanks for the helpful tips :) Will you play the game in the near future?

How big should each room be? I was going the whole way through with just 7-10 developers making a game

is it possible to acquire sony, microsoft and nintendo companies in this game? they dont seem to sell. i can only buy the other devs and publishers like ubisoft, activision etc.

Quick question. Which one is more important - the amount of skill each every employee has or the amount of total skill? For example - A star designer with 94 skill in game design will cost you $12,500 in monthly wage. I could, however, get 6 game designers ($2,000 monthly wage/each) with 40 in game design for a total of 240 total skill. Which one is better? Why?

Man , you have any list with perfect slider settings ? I would like to make perfect game ...

How did you get 4.5 Stars till 1987? I can´t get 4 with over 50 Bil in 2010

hey man,have any tips for starting in 1995?

can you tell me where i can view my cash balance?

how can i open the hardware ?

Apparently $75 profit is the sweet spot for console sales
