I also want to add 1 little dose of feedback in regards to the rating system. Maybe this could just become a small mod but as @Stian said, people have different tastes.
It would be neat if there was a fixed and random progression of taste when it comes to game-making. Basically, this would mean that there are multiple formulas for each genre depending on the current state of taste.
So for the 80’s the main taste in games could be arcade-like, challenging, E rated, etc.
Then in the 90’s era, the main taste is adventure/rpg, big world type. This doesn’t necessarily mean that you can only build adventure/rpg, it just means that any games you released that aren’t could have some adventure/rpg elements and have a good review score.
And as the years progress, the taste of the common audience continues to change.
It may be hard to implement but it just adds another layer of difficulty and probably would be refreshing to everyone who already knows the current formulas, to have to learn a constantly changing formula.
But hey, if you can’t really get that working, I’d much prefer a News Slider so my game does not pause because a new console came out.
