About publisher deals

Game Dev Tycoon
#1

Hello, loving the game and it’s a blast to play as someone wanting to join the games industry.

About the publisher deals aren’t salaries usually paid for by the publisher during development in return for the IP and the majority of the royalties? Just wondering why I only get 90K up front when the development of the game costs around 1Mil.

Best regards

Peter

Quite simply put, this is the way the game was designed, the publishers spend money on creating hype while you craft the game.
