Ok So I had a few different ideas for this game that could be added to the game. These Ideas are mostly coming from a game dev sim on android.
There you get Competition so there are other companies that
Make the game a bit harder
Make it fun to see how well your doing against let say treyarch(Just an example probably there would be a different name)
Another thing that they have is award shows which help out with money and fans.
Also an In game leader-board which would rank you against the ai in the number of awards you have the amount of money number of games you have and stuff like that.
Also if they added a feature where you can draw up a cover for your game in like a built in paint that would be awesome.
Also I’m not sure if this is in the game as I never got past level 2 but if you could start franchises which you can make one after another and not lose fans if you make the same game twice in a row. As if I developed a game and then developed a sequel straight away I would lose fans for using the same genre. Also If you could make an AAA game for three consoles or more. I don’t mean make the game and make it again I mean you release the game at the same time for all the consoles.
Also If they did add other companies it would be awesome if they would make a random event where a company can
1)Get you to sign a contract and make you release expansion pack for your game on their console early
2) Pay you to make franchises exclusives for their console
1.) Multi-Platform - Being able to design a great game for more than one platform in the expense of Money and Research Points.
2.) Multi-Topic - Something about a Pirate/Ninja game just sounds too cool to make, among other great ideas like: MIlitary/Postapocolyptic or Vampire/Racing
3.) Console Design - Maybe not something like Paint but have like pre-made shapes, like circles, squares, rectangle, etc and having the ability to drag and drop them in a way that we are able to design our consoles completely unique, have like set paint themes that would determine whee the cartridge or cd goes in and throw in different types of controllers.
4.) Arcade Platform - During the 80’s up to about the 00’s Arcades were a big deal, adding them would only add more history in to the Video Game Industry.
5.) more Genre’s suchs as: Fighting and FPS
6.) Story - What i mean by this is, sort of a campaign in such that you start out as either a student in game design school and you are tasked with your final and you gotta do that to graduate then apply to work for a company, then ultimately you open your own company.
7.) Prequels - Oh yeah Origin Games!
These Im not sure if they are already part of the game:
8.) Continuation - Being able to start a new game with previous game attributes, if anything at least with your own character and the levels that you reached before you finished the game in categories such as level design, this is what really increased the replayability in the android/iphone version game called Game Dev Story
9.) Mobile Console - Being able to make your own mobile console.
IN RESPONSE
to the OP, you are able to make sequels, to any game you make whether it was a perfect 10 or a dump of a 1.
great suggestions, Video Game Awards is a must addition as well as add A.I competition
great idea. Would be nice if you would pick Action and another menu pops which ables you to select it to be a Shoot em Up or anything that fits the Action catagory. Should not change much on how we can design games now, but give it more character.
The game already has a lot of story, which i often want to skip after doing xxx amount of playthroughs
Prequels… Meh
To be honoust, if anything i like about tycoon games, is starting over with a clean slate. As the game is now, it will ruin all kinds of game mechanism if a maxed out Graphics Specialist starts making games in a garage.
@KrackersUK Unlike Game Dev Story, this game lets you make games that are the same genre the same over and over and not lose fans. But i don’t recommend doing that.
what do you think of said ideas?
