Right now, it's the furthest I've ever got into Game Dev Tycoon (Year 22).
Probably has something to do with the randomly recruited people being expies of Drew Karpyshyn, Tim Schafer and John Romero.
Seriously.

[Katarn]

I've beated GDT twice now..still can't hut down all achievements =(

@Game dev tycoon playing soviets:

[Katarn]

I don't know if I should be mad at you, Tytan or thank you..since I didn't want to use 'cheats' to hunt down those achievements.

[Tytan]

It's not cheating if friends help you.  

Then it's friendship.  

And friendship is magic!   

And magic is heresy!

When assigning SPECIAL stats, how does it work, again?
5 for each by default with how many extra to assign?

You get five extra points to start with

[Katarn]

So I can be really strong without making my character full retard/ugly/unlucky, etc? yay!

@Game Dev Tycoon
I had to try many times to succeed, and I think it's meant so that you can fail in the early-mid stages easily, because that happened to many developers in real life.
Anyway, it's a very entertaining game, but it can be frustrating.

In other news, at school today, the fire alarm was pulled twice. It's somewhat cold out, and its the last week before exams. Not fun.

For my fellow metalheads:

[Moodyman90]

My "perfect" special build, as far as New Vegas with all Add-ons installed, is at the start raise Endurance to 7 so I can get all the implants that raise all the other SPECIAL stats. Put two points into Strength for a total of 7, plus the implant makes it 8, and thanks to Old World Blues you get an extra 2 since your spine is reinforced at the end of it so bam, 10 Strength right there. The final point can be put to any of the others for the above average of 6, which will be 7 thanks to the Implants again. And finally, beating Lonesome Road grants you one free point to put in any point. I tend to put that in Luck so I can have it at a base of 7 for Gambling, but that's not mandatory since between Naught Nightwear, Lucky Shades( If your pro-Legion) or the "Blackjack" Courier Duster grants a Plus 1 to Luck as well.

To each their own, that's how I usually do it.

So I can be really strong without making my character full retard/ugly/unlucky, etc? yay!

I would rather max luck. It's funnier.
I don't think I've ever put more than 6 into strength, and frequently less. I mean, power armor. Alcohol. More strength is easy to come by.

I'm a hoarder from hell when it comes to RPGs, so I often end up putting extra points in strength just to carry around more drugs and ammo that I'll never use. =P

I think that for  those who have both Fallout 3 and New Vegas "Tales of Two Wastelands" is a must,for those who never heard of it,Is a mod that let you play both titles at the same time,
all of the New Vegas weapons...in Whashington DC...it is simply amazing.

[Valikdu]

Yay. I finished Game Dev Tycoon.

The most successful titles were a trilogy of Alt. History/RPG's with the word "Torment" in the name, and a series of about 10 M-rated Romance/Adventures named after clopfiction.

Although I didn't get to AAA games. Any advice on how to speed up research?

Another question: I heard something about expansion packs [in-game], do they exist?

[Katarn]

Mods. You download and install them manually. Also. Your R&D lab can generate research points, while have no assignments.

And for AAA game I believe you should release good Large game.

Tip. For every AAA game your tech department can manufacture special hardware (I think it rises income for game) and E&D can advertise your game (improves hype). Also own conventions and G3 improves hype too.

[Valikdu]

By [in-game] I meant to ask if it was possible to make expansion packs (other than sequels) to games you've released.

...Crap, I haven't used R&D at all. What's wrong with me?

[Katarn]

No, you can do expansion packs only to MMO. And don't use MMO more than for 3 years, even with good expansion packs it becomes really hard to maintain it profitable after that.

My one MMO got ~80 mil monthly, while income was ~32mil monthly. Nearly bankrupted me.

[Katarn]

Depends.
In first person one of obvious funny stuff would be person talking/thinking to itself about situation, in third person you can describe anything in funny way (even if for most characters involved it's not funny).

I guess there is no real good answer to this, so I'd suggest stick with one you like to do.

[Ironmonger]

[cb5]

Why does this remind me of monty python for some reason?

[Moodyman90]

Because of the foot.

Metal luna anyone?:

Yeah, I could worship that Goddess.

[Admiral Stoic Rum]

I don't get the metal part.

[Guest]

I don't get the metal part.

Chains, bats, darkness, gothic fence motif on the throne, candles, fiery fanged maws... =P Plus the throne itself is metal, literally. That's how I figure it.
