Kind of impossible using UME.

One thing Iā€™d love to see as a mod is just some balancing of the genre/platform and audience/platform matches.

It makes sense for a bad genre/platform or audience/platform match to affect sales, but it would be nice to not have it affect review scores. After all, in the real world thatā€™s not generally how it works (look at something like MadWorld, for example - it got fantastic reviews but sold relatively poorly).

I ask mostly because the way the game is set up currently limits my ability to support the platforms I want to support unless I make only a handful of types of games. I canā€™t really get away with making mature games for most of the Ninvento consoles, for instance.

LineLiar: I know, but, I meant as a platform to develop games on.

Iā€™ve suggested it many times, but nobody ever responds.

Can someone PLEASE create a mod that tells you the % of time allocation in the development stages.
Like this:

Not a coder, but that seems to be like it wouldnā€™t be too hard to do, and it would be immensely helpful.

Also, would like a little stat somewhere that tells me the current design/tech ratio. I donā€™t know why these things havenā€™t been done by modders when they are so crucial to game development.

Manually retire a previous console from market, instead of it being automatically replaced by the newer one.

Even the other systems having a grace period, before the previous version is being retired.

Another thing about MMOs, it would be great if they are ā€œsubscriptionā€ and not sale based. It seriously doesnā€™t make any sense for me, that the maintenance costs are constantly increasing and you are forced to constantly produce Expansion Packs. With the current game mechanics, itā€™s quite challenging to run 3 MMOs simultaneously.

To be more realistic, I think you need a special piece of software and a coding language to make (example-graphic). Like paint or photoshop or something.
Softwares for almost every stage.
Also a coding language that you can specify at the beginning of development.
I think that it will be fair to pay for a piece of software, but it would be cool that you can make your own coding language or software and put in your engine.
Staff needs to be taught to code in a different language or to use a software.

Hope you like my idea, hope you use it in your next mod or an update.You are free to do it if you tell me whats the mod name to download it. :smile:

I agree

I have trouble making any that get a score above 6, much less one that makes money.
But I like your idea.

This post goes out to any modder who may be looking for some ideas.

I would love to see the MMOā€™s in this game get a re-work. For starters, maybe a feature to do server maintenance or upgrade to reduce the amount it costs to run an MMO since I feel like itā€™s unrealistic how it is. Make it a hefty sum of money for an upgrade and a much smaller yet expensive cost for maintenance but both curb the operating expenses of the game for a time, and maybe the upgrade can allow for more features?

Secondly think an MMO should have some new features that are not available for regular games. For instance, you can set a level cap, and the next expansion might raise that. Also an MMO game should have some sort of trade feature, PvP ,real-money store and cooperative missions, with each of those aspects being able to be tweaked and upgrades as the MMO evolves. Positive tweaks will ensure a longer-lasting game while negative changes will just help kill the polularity and revenue of the game faster.

Lastly, we need a new kind of game. On top of small, medium, large, AAA and MMO, we need free to play. While I personally stay away from those, they seem to be very lucrative in the right hands, and its only right to include that sort of model in this game.

One thing I have wanted since the beginning was the ability to delegate how much time you take on a game. Sometimes I want to be able to spend 6 years on a small game, or 1 week on a AAA game to screw myself over.

Nice ideas, two thumbs up!

I never thought of that, but, very good idea

I kinda just want to change the name of my employees. And maybe change the way they look or something.
