List of ideas for improving Game Dev Tycoon

Big things:

New! Funding:

  • Kickstarter (unlocked late-game)
  • Sponsor (unlocked in mid-game)
  • None

New! * Financial Model*:

  • Free to play with microtransactions (unlocked late-game - provides funds for a longer period of time, but in smaller amounts)
  • Free to play (unlocked in late-game - generates more fans than other models, funds only through donations)
  • Buy full

New! Develop game…:

  • DLC (unlocked in late-game)
  • Expansion (unlocked in mid-game)
  • Patch/Bugfix (unlocked in early-game - used to iron out a game after release, ex. Elder Scrolls)
  • Squeal (added to this menu)

New! Servers:

  • Buy Server (unlocked late-game)
  • Rent Server (unlocked in mid-game)
  • Allocate Server usage (unlocked with “Rent server” - used to allocate server usage by online game - more allocated bandwidth and size, less problems with the game)

New! Multi-topic

New! Multi-platform release (mid-game)

Small things:

Additional Genres:

  • Shooter

Additional Topics:

  • Survival

Additional Engine parts:

  • World Design - Sandbox (unlocked in mid-world design progression)
  • Graphics - 2.5D Graphics (2.5D - ex. Diablo)
  • Graphics - 2D Flash Graphics (with possible V1-2, maybe 3, even 4)

Additional Platforms:

  • Arcade (early-game)
  • Browser game (late-game)

Some changes to progression, and general remarks:

  • Squeals should come earlier (followed by Expansions and Patch/Bugfix, and later DLCs)
  • Most Quest/Story engine parts should come earlier
  • Along with the text explaining the technology used in a game, a picture would be nice, showing a game that used such
  • More descriptive grade remarks (giving us some advice on why was our game such a success or failure, or at least the ones that are in game already, should appear more often)

Will be adding some more later. This for now.

I swear i see one of these every 10 minutes.

Is there not an ideas thread?

EDIT: Looks crisp and clean though, I like it

Thank you for your ideas, but please post in an existing ideas thread, like this one.
