Description
Discover the successes and failures of the gaming industry on GDT through the Top And Flops Mod!

This mod aims to give Game Dev Tycoon a new life while keeping its spirit alive.

Features
  • 85 new consoles to expand your Game Dev Tycoon experience;
  • 70 new researches for your engines;
  • 58 new topics with icons;
  • 7 brand new genres;
  • 25 new random events and over 80 notifications for a better immersion.
  • Small UI tweaks.

The Platforms

The Top and Flops Mod adds a total of 85 platforms and 14 evolutions over time, over the course of 45 years!
Besides the evergreen and well-known big names in the industry, we also get to know other companies that have tried their best in the ever-growing gaming industry, from Itara to Senclair, TNK and Megavoxel.

All the platform assets were carefully made to look like as close as possible to the art style present in the main game: I'm trying to make it so that the player almost doesn't know when the main game ends and the mod begins.

Some people may not want all the platform, so since the latest update you can now select presets of platforms you want to see in the settings right before starting your journey!



The Events

The Top and Flops Mod also adds 25 new random events.

Gone are the days when everything spread slowly, now is the age of the Internet and that also brings... quite a few risks! Interact with fans being mad over your games, random trolls or "hackers" intimidating you.
And whether it's chasing away cockroaches, appealing to law enforcement, making absurd decisions, or resolving conflicts within your society, you'll always have the final say in these new adventures!

The Topics and Genres


This mod also aims to add new topics, researches, and... 7 new genres for your games! Most will be unlocked at the start, but some will need to be earned through experience (and career).

The Notifications


Furthermore, the mod strives to expand the game's storyline, with up to 140 new notifications regarding platforms, companies, industry news and more!

I also understand this may be annoying for some, so I recommend disabling automatic pop-ups.
I'm considering creating a feature to filter out "unnecessary" notifications.

Compatibility with other mods
The Top & Flops mod is meant to be played alone, therefore compatibility with other mods is quite limited and not guaranteed.
As of version 1.6.0, TT&FM is not compatible with other mods that add platforms or topics. I am currently working on a fix.

WARNING
As TT&FM is still in constant development, you may encounter some errors or bugs during your GDT gameplay. If so, please report anything to me. Remember to update once in a while!

I made this mod with passion and care.
Feel free to try out this mod and rate it :)

ROADMAP and FUTURE PLANS
Here's all the future plans for TT&FM.
  • 25 events;
  • New custom genres;
  • Achievements (idea);
  • Better post-endgame and a "true ending";
  • Built-in translations for other languages;

Notes
  • In the new platform button UI, longer platform names may clash and cover the market share.
  • In the PC-Only platform presets, notifications related to the original-game platforms are still displayed. This is due to the way the game handles storyline notifications.

Np :) I hope everyone has enjoyed this mod over the past year!
I'm taking a break, but I already have a somewhat complete update.

I'll see what I can do.

This mod is amazing, but I find it really difficult to research everything all before more just come piling in, I ended up having to cheat in RP just to catch up. Those researched features are alsao much harder to implement without seeing the percentage of death. Do you think you can change the amount of RP generated from things like games and engines and also change how much your custom features influence the feature threshold?

I will probably rebalance the weightings for each platform, I quickly checked the code and I found some that are totally wrong.
Maybe I should do it based on a mix of how many games of that genre have been made for the platform and how popular a game on that list is.

I'd also probably change the GDS's RPG match to +++ (matches better with the GS, and the 3DS had a lot of great RPGs)

Ah, I haven't tried all of the platform combos yet. I'll go ahead and do that.
