[UPDATE IDEA] Porting games to new consoles

Game Dev Tycoon ideas
#1

I found this on the Game Dev Tycoon TvTropes page under Violation of Common Sense.

Sometimes, games are ported to other consoles, like Minecraft from PC to Xbox, iOS, Android, etc.

It doesn’t make sense for us to not be able to port games. This is a Game Dev Tycoon Simulator, right?

Maybe a research should pop up when Zony releases their console after Ninvento’s TES.

You get more revenue from the same game, on different consoles, and the debuff from having the same topic and genre too close together is removed, but it can be only ported once per console.

Well, you know, when GDT was first being created, Patrick and Daniel didn’t know if it was gonna have good ratings or not, and I bet they didn’t have the expectations that THIS was all gonna happen.

And being able to port games is a big concept. It’ll take some time to do, but anyhow, I’m sure GHG is already starting work on it :smile:

Im pretty sure that GHG have stated they dont plan on making any future updates for GDT. I think the most they’ll do is improve mod support.

You should be speaking to the modding community, therefore this should be in the mod ideas thread.
