Porting games to different systems is huge or the game industry. A lot of companies who are AAA today started with simple ports to different platforms. In game I would just make the same game over and over again on PC, Mbox, Playsystem 4, but i dont like how each game is treated as a completely different game. We should be able to launch the game on multiple platforms, maybe even pay smaller companies to develop ports themselves? Such as the fan game mechanic. But i feel this is needed either way
yeah, but is this simple to implement.
I would imagine so,
They can make a research called “Game Ports” and after you complete a game, you get an option “release on multiple platforms” this will cost more money and more development time. This can open up more markets for “exclusive titles” and such.
As your company becomes larger you can be asked to help out a smaller company by paying them to develop a port. Also you could even become a publisher and give publishing deals to smaller companies as well(different idea tho )
There are other ways to implement but that was the first to come to mind
cool, I hope one of the developers for Game Dev Tycoon sees this post.
Oh that sounds like a great idea actually. I hope one of the game devs sees this post, because this is something I’m sure many people would want implemented into the game.
