Пожелания к игре

Игра отличная, но немного минусов. Первое это то что бывает почти постоянный дефицит науки, качаешь одну важную функцию, появляется новая, но не хватает на вкачку. Второе это что то сильно лагает на 26 iOS, играл на 10 XS Max лагов не было, как перешел на 12 про Макс, так он лагает будто играю на калькуляторе, а когда заряд 20 и менее процентов, то считай что ты даже что либо вкачать или сделать не сможешь от лага в несколько фпс. Я бы хотел чтобы разработчики сделали оптимизацию под 26 iOS, а также чтобы добавили разработку своих компонентов как процессор, так и ГПУ. Надеюсь разработчики читают еще комментарии и что они добавят это в следующее обновление, если они конечно еще обновляют ее. Очень хотелось бы верить в это.

Игра просто супер

Не понимаю почему у игры мало отзывов ведь она просто суперская , в дорогах можно играть и не скучать тк игра без интернета

Strong bones within a mannequin.

I love games like this. Tycoon and automation games mixed with the multifaceted nature of the act of game development is right up my alley. Obviously I knew this would, essentially, be a clone Game Dev Story/Tycoon; I’m fine with that.

What I’ve found irritating after 20+ hours of play is the blatant use of AI generated assets, shallow systems regarding the actual development of the games and consoles, and the phoned in AI generated office spaces. The interview portions are especially embarrassing. Like I wouldn’t tell someone I’ve played this game. Only reason I’ve played this long is, again, because this specific gameplay loop has been done before — better — by other games that I’ve genuinely enjoyed.

This game feels like a hollow Skinner box. But if you want a tappy game that’ll scratch the tycoon itch, this game does manage to pull it off despite it having the depth of a puddle. If there were some love put into creating an actual art style and animations for it, it’d be ten times more enjoyable. As is, it feels like I typed “make Game Dev Tycoon but for consoles” into ChatGPT and this is what it coded for me.

Plus side: verrrrrry few ad breaks and I really respect that they aren’t egregiously long interactive rage bait ads either. Huge win for a free game.

I really would love to see this dev try harder to establish some kinda art style because they have a fine mind for systems and gameplay loops.

Очень Крутая игра часто зависаю в ней

Just a little note

The game is very fun but i do have one problem that you cant evolve stuff early and always have to be the second company to do it. I would like if somehow you could unlock stuff earlier but it’d be more research costly. Also, i wish customers reviews would help exsplain whats wrong a bit more since, ive gotten many like 3 star reviews and they allways say “ it wasnt good” or somthin like that. And i have only found a single review that was under 5 stars that actaully told me why it was bad. And one last thing, it should be a little bit easier to get in the top sales as i can lisence like 3 games and create 10 games all averaging 8/10, but ill still only have like 1/2-4 as much sales as the top console after like 2-3 years. And past that point to continue making a console more popular just feels wrong as they become very outdates. Finally, please organise the upgrades by console, hand console, headset, and games because, they get anoying to try to find what is the upgrades for what your looking for. Also, Im currently at year 1997-1998.
