No problem! The wiki is by far the best source for looking up good combos, just don’t focus on it too much or you’ll end up feeling restricted in what you should create as opposed to what you want to create. I’m going through multiple times following different dev routes i.e. major open world rpgs like Bethesda, or becoming a branch of Nivendo’s exclusive only IP devs, or even go as money hungry huge as possible through AAAs and yearly products ala EA, but visual novels never even occured to me until now.
Surprising enough, When i made TES : Skyrim, a medieval RPG-Adventure, i got a perfect 10. Funny coincidence 
Did you had a 9+ before that and are you sure you have set your sliders right?
Nice i use it too, but more exactly like sometimes here shown is very helpful but overall i dont got a clue still 
Name: EVE Online ( Expansion was named Dominion)

I used Boost on every Stage for the Important Employees, i hope you know what i mean.
Here is a Screen at the end from all the Sliders and my Crew i used.

This is only a Expansion , i dont know if this works as a own game from start
My successes came primarily with different topics in the RPG and Simulation realms.
I got to a point without changing sliders much I could pump out a Sports sim, a couple more, then a few rpgs and be golden.
This was very helpful! I got 9,75 rating and an achievement for making the game the start of future gaming!
