So I get to approx 4.4 mill. then I release a new game which I know should do well but doesn’t do well at all (I heard about the piracy thing but I did buy the game.) So any help would be greatly appreciated!!
Cheers
how do you know the game should do well? you got a good score?
The times I’ve done it before it always got good scores!
if it was a sequel, the game is comparing the new one with the old one, sometime you change it in a good way, sometimes you don’t
I did a game (zephiros) and the third sequel got a score of 3.5, the previous one got 9.5, but I got 8 on the next one because I’ve changed it in a good way 
I haven’t even researched sequels 
So I tried doing the exact same setup as I had done before where I got a 9.75 (I made this game 6 games earlier so the critics wouldnt say it looks exactly the same) and I got a 3.5 which is awful! I would like to know why!?! Does this game hate me? lol
so you made a sequel of a game without having the sequel option?
last time I’ve tried that I got a bad score too so I think that’s the proble because the game don’t know it’s it’s a sequel so I guees the game think you did a copy of your previous game
If you repeat the same topic-genre combination as your last game, you get very heavy penalties.

Sequel applies a 20% score bonus modifier, so long as the game is on a newer engine (same graphics and features doesn’t matter; so long as you built a new engine, its going to score well).
Apart from that the performance of the previous game has no impact on the rating of the sequel. You can do a sequel to a 1/1/1/1 game if you want. Makes no difference.
Aha thanks! That would make a lot more sense! Thank you
