By mid game (1985-1990) I always keep 8 training rooms with 6 slots each, one room for each skill. Then I hire young employees with Talented and keep they training non-stop there. In 1 to 2 years they reach 90 skill and can already replace some employees. I keep doing it until I cycle through my entire company, raising everyone to 90+ skill.

I always manually adjust my console sales to sell at a loss of $10 each week for the first 2 years after the release to bolster my market share percentage that way my games I make sell to a higher percentage of potential customers. I've found that it's about the only way to consistantly keep pace with the big manufacturers earlier on in the console wars. It's not as important to sell at a loss around 2020ish as by then your reputation should pretty much carry your sales. *If you do sell at a loss, you need to be constantly pumping out hits and making use of the rerelease features from self publishing or you will go bankrupt fast lol* Game of the year releases are very effective at stretching your income between new releases. The hardest part about self publishing is being able to gauge the sales numbers in advance. Marketing teams are good for stretching those sales figures too but be mindful of how much you are spending against how much you are earning. Also marketing is KEY to finding the right staff early on as they can hold hiring events for specific jobs and vastly improve your employment options. I generally have office workers taking up 50% of my employees. I try to have 3 or 4 marketing rooms at a minimum and an equall amount of support rooms if not double. 1 support room for support, 3-4 for propaganda, and at least 2 for selling merch by the time PS2 releases. Merch sales are based on a variety of things like the strength of your IP, how well trained your office workers are, and most importantly the number of fans you have. I never even bother researching arcade cab workshops. Technicians are more profitable to just have in console development and to take the odd jobs for testing competitors hardware between actual development. I have about 40 technicians trained to be ready to drop a console in about 6 months after the research is finished or 1 year if I split them up to launch 2 consoles simultaneously around 2001ish. The earlier you are to the market with the latest tech the better in most cases. I should also mention that I prefer to play on the warehouse map or other maps that have similar large areas to work with.

i have few questions and i have a feeling you know a lot about the game since the internet doesnt (except that one big wiki post on steam) 1) how much does the "special platform" feature in the engine creation matter? i usually make multiplatform games and always have pc as a platform and since it never gets updated like consoles i tend to make pc the special one. Also on this topic, the placement of platforms in the four platform space matter? 2) is there a way to retire/end job/ etc.? i have reached the peak a little too much that there is no challenge at all. Is there a way to close my company or etc.? 3) The distance between a room and the other room thats supporting it matter? 4) does the multiple marketing options matter or just auto-ing the most expensive one, the tv is enough? 5) what does the option that makes employees get controlled by ai.. do? 6) can you make goty editions, bundles, distrubition option stuff, without doing it yourself? Like, can you make a publisher to do your production stuff? Also on the topic of this can you advertise games of your subsidiares(?) without selfpublishing it? Like as they publish it with another publisher and i just market it using my marketing division 7) which stat do you need for the best lead dev? 8) and finally, can the companies you bought as subsidiaries(?) develop consoles? because lets say if i want to buy atari it says itll take every console off the market. Will they continue after i buy their company or they just.. dont?
@Loocharagaming9 ай бұрын
1) The special platform just gives an extra chance for critical work results. Placement of the platforms does not matter. 2) Not that I know of 3) It does not matter 4) You can save a bit of money if you start if some of the cheaper options and then finish with TV. Only really matters if you're playing on the harder difficulties 5) Honestly I'm not sure I've never used it 6) I believe you have to self publish to take advantage of those options 7) Game design primarily but programming, graphics and sound all matter 8) I believe subsidiaries can't produce consoles Sorry for the delayed response, I'm currently taking a break from youtube!

Quick question. Which one is more important - the amount of skill each every employee has or the amount of total skill? For example - A star designer with 94 skill in game design will cost you $12,500 in monthly wage. I could, however, get 6 game designers ($2,000 monthly wage/each) with 40 in game design for a total of 240 total skill. Which one is better? Why?
@Loocharagaming Жыл бұрын
Honestly staff wages are a relatively trivial expense. Always take the star designer. Eventually you're going to run out of space so you want your staff to be the best they can be.
@AlmostCoast Жыл бұрын
@@Loocharagaming That's understandable, but putting aside the space efficency - and one-time investments needed (more desks), and only looking at it from the short-term isn't 6 game designers with a total of 240 skill *way* better than one with 94? Surely that much of a skill difference will affect game scores? Another thing to note is that I can train these employees to be even better - lets say to 70 (increasing total skill by 180) without a too big of an increase in wage.
@Loocharagaming Жыл бұрын
@@AlmostCoast Obviously 240 skill is better than 94. But the star designer plus 5 others is obviously better than 240 so I'm not sure why you're not doing that. Also training can be pretty expensive, if you're analyzing star designers from a purely cost perspective than you need to consider the fact that they won't ever need training in their primary skill.
