first of… great vid!
but…. the multiplier doesn’t work for the design points or tech point. it also doesn’t benefit the money you get from the game!!! it only increases the amount of XP you get

plzzz like so he can see!

‘Overboard’ was a pretty awful movie starring Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russel which was released at about the same era as your game. It’s a good thing that the game engine doesn’t take things like that into consideration because that movie tie-in would have failed miserably.

Quick tip – my approach to the game is somewhat inverted. I have developed my company to be specialized towards Adventure & RPG games. It’s a bit slower to start, but pays off. So most of my staff are design oriented and I focus research and training on design oriented things. As a benefit, I have a high level of design-oriented skill and it pays off. Think along the lines of Square Enix.

I have a game that I’ve done without publishing deals. Instead, I recommend using advertising to build hype. I also try to time my games so they are in development at each game show convention. I am averaging in the 5-10million profit per game without any publishing. Granted, I’ve hired a good staff, trained them well and it pays off.
