Hello Guys.
First, this Game is awsome. it makes so much fun
now to my problem. in year 12 (lvl6) i had 20 million euro and 150 k fans. every game got a rank from 7 to10.
Now, every game who i make get a very low rate. 5 games and all games had a rank under 4 .
i dont know if its a bug, because the other 20 games got good rates. i have no 3 millionne euro and just 110 k fans.
Can someone help me?
my info:
-i just make games for ps2 and pc.
much action games (with millitary)
if someone can give me a tip it would be very cool :109:
You need to improve on your previous games in order to continue to get good scores.
By the sounds of it, you may have had a mega-hit that was a little TOO good and you are having trouble getting close to it. Did you make a sequel? Did you hit a trend? Did you make a sequel that hit a trend? THOSE can be killer (in both senses of the word).
Your best bet is to do a binge research and build yourself a new engine. That should let you make a game that can compete with your last hit. Alternatively, if you are still at 2 employees making medium games…maybe make the occasion to hire two more and venture into making large games.
Lastly, so good solid employee training would be good. It won’t pull you out of a 5.0-6.0 ghetto, but it, combined with a few other things, can help you over the hurdle.
When you great AMAZING games and set the tone high, the next game has to be better, no matter how many bubbles there are, to make the game get the same or even higher scores.
The better the game, the higher the bar is set, and you need to live up to it each time.
Real game studios don’t fall off the edge of the world like that when they’ve been successful. Chronic failure to innovate causes review scores to go 9-7-6-4-3-[Bankruptcy]. If they had a lot of cash saved up, there may be a few more 3’s before the end. That a successful studio can suddenly get nothing but 4’s in sequence may not be a bug, but it is a flaw in the simulation.
Thanks for the help to Deskairn: i made 3 sequals and made 4 games who i get over 3 million sales.
The problem is, that this game isnt any more funny ,when i just get bad stats. Tried today again, 3 games and all stats were under 3.
Do I start a new game?
If you are stuck in a rut, I would recommend starting over fresh. I personally restarted my game 5 times before I had my first fully successful 30 year game (this was before I knew about the wiki or these forums).
As a suggestion: Don’t use sequels. They are VERY tempting to use because they make an instant spike in game quality. But that same spike can cause you to overshoot your target score and thus make you get stuck in a rut.
And don’t forget to do publisher contracts until you hit 100,000 fans. Having fewer than that will cause the sales of your self-published games to be horrible, even if the game is highly rated…thus earning you very little money AND making your future games harder to get good ratings with.
