Hello there, after I finished the game there are some tips I would like to give.
First, let’s talk about bugs.
-
There is a bug after developed an Expansion Pack for MMO game. The bug is that I can click on “Make game Report” and a blank windows appears. I don’t know if there should be a report for expansion pack, by the way making another game (not expansion), will fix this showing game report avaible for the new game.
-
Huge FPS loss when developing AAA games or Large ones, expecially when staff speed is high. The problem is generated my bubbling. Maybe It could be more useuful displayng static bubble generation on staff heads, or give the option to do that. My system spec are not so low so I think it is just a bubble ovewhelming problem.
Suggestion
-
There are 3 main genre that miss: FPS (first person shooters), TW (tower defense) and MOBA (LoL - Dota like)
-
Staff list interface is really bad. It is really difficult to see and compare staff skills. I suggest using a single table like:
name 1 design score1 tech score1 speed score1 research score1 salary1 specialization 1
name 2 design score2 tech score2
Giving the option to train them from this. I think this will help a lot.
-
Game list interface also is bad. When creating a new game I often need to know what kind of topic/genre I did not used yet, and to do this I need to spent lot of time browsing current list. I think some kind of “vertical” listing is much more useful than actual “horizontal”, showing more basic infos about more games per windows, instead of 1 game for window.
-
Let the use of 9 staff members instead of 7, so people can train 1 specialist for each field. (In this case the bubble spawn lag will be a real problem)
-
Option to change game name or egine name after the release
-
replay game? After the game is finished for first time what about to give the chance to play harder? For example greatly increasing cost for features, research time, and cost to buy new office. Also, we can sabotage our rival soft houses but we never get sabotaged. There are no mention to other soft companies. What about beating some sell records? We could have some option to monitor rival companies sell records and try to beat em. Or there culd be a mode where we have to finish the game using only 4 genre and 15 topic for example…
Ok these are things in my mind.
Thanks for great game, i hope soon in another great one from this company!
