Hi, i was wondering how do I get to the lvl 3 of the office before getting to the building with the research? I’ve got 189k fan, 11m or so with 5 workers include me by year 12. Should a prompt with better office offer by now?? I’m referring to the office with better computers and stuff. I’ve got past coding event, security, air-con, patch and research, scam. Anyone has any suggestion? I’ve already beaten the once afew time so this time i want to get to the best office office ASAP but i got stuck for years…I went out from garage somewhere in year 2 and stuck there for 10 years???
For me it wasn’t until year 13 around month 4 or so but I’m not sure if that happens to everyone.
What game length are you playing? I’m playing 35Y and got the upgrade in Y15 (around the time the PS 2 is launched)
Luckily the next move (to the final office) is possible at the end of Y18.
hm…so the year would be different if I played the 35 years ones?
I upgraded at like Yr 40 cause I had no clue how to, and had around 20 million with me, 
Not much help sorry.
so no one actually get to lvl 3 office around year 11?
I’m not the expert but to have at least a design or tech specialist will get you the research lab open when you get the large office. for me that makes sense to get it before get the large office. Also, I wait till I got 30m minimum before I go to the large office and at least 250k fans that way i can do large games without publishing it.
I THINK the requirements are:
Your character needs to reach level 9.
And you need to have 3 or more employees.
It takes awhile to get to level 9, but the time varies depending on how many exp bonus modifiers you get when developing games. Making every game a new topic and new good combo with good management will get you there much faster than spamming sequels using old topics and combos.
hm…seems like wiki doesn’t mention of being lvl 9 to unlock the 3rd lvl office. lvl 9 sure will take some time to get there.
