Apple [Game] Game Dev Story

[Sotoro]

In Game Dev Story you'll play the president of a fledgling game development company as you direct your crew of designers, artists, and coders in an effort to create a string of successful video games over a 20 year time period. Beyond just making games, you'll need to grow your own brand name by running a game convention booth, attending awards shows, advertising, and managing an ever-changing fan base. As your company expands, you'll have the opportunity to move into larger offices and hire a bigger team of employees, all of whom can be leveled up and trained (at the expense of higher salaries) so as to create better games. If you really become a big company, and have employees with the right skill sets, you can even create your own console and compete with the well established big boys in the hardware game.

To start off, though, you're just a tiny company with a few employees and a small amount of start-up capital to work with. You can choose to make games for home consoles or PCs, but each console requires you to purchase a license before you can develop games for it. To earn some extra funding for licenses or projects, outside contract work can be accepted. It's not the most exciting work, but it will pay the bills and help you earn enough money to make games of your own. Once you have the money to make a game, you'll choose which platform, genre, and style of game you want to make. Your own employees can be used to create the story, graphics, and sound, or you can source out that work to other professionals for a fee. A number of factors can affect how your game sells, including your fan base, what time of year you release (holiday season is best), and how the media reviews the game.

I can't stop playing this one. A really amazing game, but i hope that there will be more content an gamecenter support in the next update. If you are a videogame fan this is a must try

3.99$

a bit expensive, but you will have very much fun with this one for many hours.

Kind of ironic that all the best iPhone games are ports from other consoles, huh? This is a port of a PC Game, and a very good game at that. Well worth the meagre asking price. I'm hoping we get the Mangaka version as well as Game Dev Story's sequel, soon. I say that because my only real concern with Game Dev Story is that it could do with expanded gameplay mechanics and I think Game Dev Story 2 does expand them by quite a margin.

Is it a universal app?

I saw the reviews and they were pretty much all 5/5 stars.
I'll try this out once I finish all my other 100+ iPod games in my queue.

I like it, it pretty much makes us unboring most of the time. Although the newbie instructions weren't easy to follow, i'd rate it 5/5

Haha the funny thing is that, i only figured out how to make a game when my company was 3 yrs old.

I'm so addicted to this game, I love it! Have been playing it for two hours straight

QUOTEJust use any 1 employee..everytime the salesman comes buy the career change manual 3 times..for example if your employee has a corder status max it up to level 5,after you max you go to action and change that particular employee using the career change manual,change it to writer and max the level up again to level 5.so it goes on for sng eng,director,producer and designer max it up to level 5 just for that employee.after you max all up the hardware engineer status appears..walaa..ready to produce ur first console..

Thanks although it makes me get frustrated I'll try it.. Can't you just make a director to an Egineer. (the fast way?)

This game is great and addicting. I'm looking forward to the company's sequels and future games as well.

 

[alidsl]

I hope they do release a sequel, but with a lot more depth

 

[alidsl]

Does anyone know of the best combos Life and animal is one of the best

 

[Dangy]

I know Action and Ninja work well together.
