[QUOTE=ijyt;40468207]Arrow keys.[/QUOTE] Thanks, looks like it was broken in my version and I had to update.

Okay, so far, i think i have figured it out, despite me being a dirty cheater! :v: [img]http://i.imgur.com/hQv7dte.png[/img]

[QUOTE=sharzu;40468293]Tell me your secrets.[/QUOTE] Well, for starters, i am using this little cheat-sheet. Action: Engine, Gameplay, A.I., Graphics, Sound. Adventure: Story/Quests, Dialogues, Level Design, World Design, Graphics, Sound. RPG: Gameplay, Story/Quests, Dialogue, Level Design, and World Design. Strategy: Engine, Gameplay, A.I., World Design, Graphics, Sound. Simulation: Engine, Gameplay, Level Design, A.I., World Design, Graphics, Sound. Casual: Gameplay, Level Design, Graphics, Sound These are the things you should look though really carefully when making a game with any of these genres. For Action, you gotta focus for above-mentioned to get best scores possible. Second, when it comes to topics, use common sense, or this list: Airplane / Casual Airplane / Simulation Aliens / Action Alternate History / RPG Business / Simulation [URL="http://gamedevtycoon.wikia.com/wiki/Game_Combinations"](The rest of the long list posted here)[/URL] And third. When you get to pick what features the game should have, look very closely. They are categorized in the same way of the exact sliders of which you are about to position too. But lets take an example. On PC, we make a simcity'ish game, City/simulation. This focuses primarily on engine and gameplay, amongst others. But look at features: [img]http://i.imgur.com/BbcKr76.png[/img] Even though jamming as many features into a game sounds tempting, apparently, cutscenes doesn't have much to do with a simulation-genre game! [B]I CAN'T ACTUALLY CONFIRM IS THIS IS FOR REAL OR ANYTHING, BUT THIS THEORY HAVE WORKED FOR ME AT LEAST SO FAR. [/B] So get rid of all the features to the corresponding slider that which you don't need alot of! I have no idea if this is any good, but give it a shot and let me know!

ok, so ive researched selling my engine, but how do i actually do it?

I believe it does it automatically. You'll earn money every month or so.

Oh god damn it. There's a thread on reddit and everybody is saying that it's an exact copy of GDS. Fuck them.

would you happen to know why hardware wont show up in R&D by the way? or will I need to hack it in?

I think you have to do something to unlock the option to unlock it in R&D first, though I can't remember what.

Ive researched everything, and ive got 1m fans + 200m + final office1 so I dont know what i could be missing

[QUOTE=Mike Tyson;40469078]Ive researched everything, and ive got 1m fans + 200m + final office1 so I dont know what i could be missing[/QUOTE] Some special staff specialization or something something?

Oh, right, I believe you need a tech specialist.

Christ, after a point it feels almost impossible to make a game that sells well without a publisher to me. I think I might be pussyfooting around a bit too much with the cost of marketing.

My biggest problem with this game is research points. There's not enough to go around to research things in a timely manner. Also, is the windows 7 version the same as the windows 8 one, or does the 7 have more to it?

They're the same.

Just finished the demo and my most successful game was called, "Pimp Simulator". It had text-based graphics, it was a city simulator, it was for the Gameboy type thing, and it was for Young Children. I got 100k+ for it.

[QUOTE=ijyt;40470751]Don't be one.[/QUOTE] [QUOTE=Mio Akiyama;40470802]Buy the game[/QUOTE] Just did, this is now much more pleasant

I'm having a hard time making good enough games. Any hints? I made two hits and like 20 flops.

Holy shit. This game is ten times better than I expected. Worth every cent you pay.

This game keeps crashing for me on Windows 8...

So this game is only for windows 8?

[QUOTE=FlashStock;40471197]This game keeps crashing for me on Windows 8...[/QUOTE] It launches fine and plays for about 5 seconds and then I get sent back to the metro start screen
