I love Game Dev Tycoon and completed a 35 year campaign and a few failed 25 year ones. My problem is I started a new campaign and the first game I produce gets 1’s and 2’s. I don’t know why this is because the last one I tried had a 10 in design and a 7 in tech. These points seem low but it’s the first game so I can’t change much about the game making process. any help would be appreciated.
“It still gives me nightmares” All Games-
Amount of points is not the issue for a first game,all though its low.
My first guess is messed up slider settings.
For example making an Action game and have Story/Quest and Dialog on 100%.
Still… If I see you made 10/7 D&T… it’s pretty low for your first game. You can easily make a 12/12 one. And it’s pretty easy to get a 7 average score for your first game. But yeah, you probably messed up the sliders… Well, all I can say… It’s probably not a bug, but just the slider part that’s annoys you.
I made a 12 & 12 game and it still had a terrible average. I have to admit I’m terrible with the sliders but I still don’t see why this one got rejected too.
I have actually no idea… but I still don’t think it’s a bug in the game. And ofcourse the D&T Radius thing doesn’t make it a good game. Did you release it after all the bugs went out? Did you have a good topic/genre combo? It’s all I can think of…
Hey, I have changed the category to Questions as it sounds more gameplay help related. I would suggest to make sure you are using Game Dev Tycoon version 1.3.14 and maybe check the wiki article out on slider information.
Till you reach a total of 30 T/D points, ratio does not give any penalty on the gamescore.
Bad sliders, bad combo’s will affect your score though.
The only time I’ve seen a first game flop was by using a bad combo - something like Sports RPG.
I actually made a first game yesterday… and I got an 8.25 for it. And it was a Sports/Simulation game. Never thought it would be that good! GG!
