Are there any games for the PC like (or cloned from) the iPod/iPhone/Android games made by Kairosoft (i.e. Game Dev Story, Mega Mall Story, etc.)?

Edit) I know about Game Studio Story on Facebook, but every time I try to go find it it apparently no longer exists.
Edit2) Also, I'd like the games to be in ENGLISH.

None in English, but there are a few free in Japanese. I really got into the Manga game, which is really funny, but unfortunately a lot simpler than GameDev Story.

edit: All the Japanese games are MUCH MUCH older than the newer games released for mobile platforms. Like GameDev Story DX II or whatever is a super-old version of the game people play on the iphone/ipad.

No, I looked there but couldn't find a thing.

I'm mainly looking for PC variants because my roommates want their own save files but some of the Kairosoft games only have one save slot.

If you have any kind of Android device you can use http://bluestacks.com/ to play Android games on your PC. Whether or not Game Dev Story or any of the Kairosoft games work I have no clue. It was in it's alpha states and will be moving onto the beta stage soon so it's not accessible at the moment but you an always sign up early :P

Oh...

Well, I guess my roommates are going to have to suck it up, then. They don't play games in foreign languages unless you don't need the language to play.

...I couldn't even get them to play Touhou until I found a translation patch.

    @Psionic Roshambo, people who cant download it can still play the game

    If your internet speeds are fast enough. Streaming 4k takes alot. I used to only have 20mb sec, and 4k struggled. Now I have 300mb sec and 4k plays fine.

    I think Game streaming should work like this.... Local Hardware able the run the game fine, game engine and common assets stored locally, all FMV and music and textures could be streaming

    Or free government supplied high speed internet be nice also. Like Obama care. Xdqwerty that's cool, its time consuming but rewarding once done or playable, to see what you've made from scratch. Animations take forever, but worth it.

    @BigOnYa, although the bullets are a bit buggy

    @BigOnYa,
    and the visual aspect of the game is quite crude (the sprite that looks best is that of the protagonist just because he is a stickman with sunglasses)

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    There is a bullets behaviour you assign to your character, that makes the code easier, under "behaviours"
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @BigOnYa, ik

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    i meant that when the character is pointing to the right, the bullets spawn where they should, but when he is on the right, they move to the right but the spawn point is incorrect
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Itch.io has lots of free assets also. Under the bullets behavior tab, there is a "rotate bullets" option, can try that. Or in the code can try
    - fire bullet Player.X(PlayerDirection)

    YEa gotta after a while, looking at code for long periods will bug your eyes.

    That's cool tho, I'm proud of you going back to it, not giving up. It is difficult at first to learn, but fun once you get the hang of it. I think I've watched every tutorial video there is, but I still struggle sometimes to get stuff to work right. But gotta keep trying dif things, and eventually you will get it right.
