First of all
This is my first guide and i'm french i don't have a good english sorry :/
This guide was written for version EA-0.160116A.
Updated for EA-0.160630A.
And will be kept as up to date as possible
Character Creation
During character creation:
In the "Start new game" menu

You can choose what you want. (If you want more ease for the beginning you can choose Korea).
And for Game Seetings i use that

Now character skills

I Use +3 Game Desing and +2 Speed
Speed standard and difficulty legendary.
The start
Immediately pause the game take loan.

Now you have 125 000 $ and Large Garage.
Hire staff :
  • 1 Gamedesign
  • 1 Graphics
  • 1 Music & Sound
Build Developement Room : (4x4)
And buy 4 Valt Desk [White] like :

Assign all staff in this new room.

If you don't know how to make this 4x4 room follow this screen :

This work with other stuff like graphic studio, sound studio ...
First Game
Now see in top right of your screen what people want : ( this is for me)

You can see on this screen i need to make a Skill game (i can't make Hacking game without reshearsh).
So i launch Game Development like that :

(Yes i don't have any creativity with name of the game :P)
Next choose Personal Computer Obviously
And now the Game Setting is the tricky part :
You can use : Link
Skill Game need
  • Gameplay vs. Graphics -4
  • Story vs. Game Length +5
  • Atmosphere vs. Functions +5
  • Game Depth vs. Beginner Friendly +5
  • Core-Gamer vs. Caual-Gamer +5

Next part is tricky again :
Arcade Game need :
  • Graphics 50%
  • Sounds 10%
  • Technology 10%
  • Gameplay 30%

Languages don't need more than english and native (Native language is your starting country setting)
Pass the features screen for obvious reason.
And Launch the developement, SAVE the game at 0% game dev and wait.
When finished you got a screen for publishing the game, validate.
On the stats screen Find publisher.
(More you have Publisher more your game have a good Review)
Choose the best for you on Market Strength, Share and Topic !
With some test i find if you have all 1 star Publisher you are around 60% review.
You can reload your save if you want better but if you have some 2 stars it's good enough.
I reload 3 time to get :


I had several 3 stars and i choose Cupcom.
Research
You should make 5 game Update :

If you need Cash and you have Game Development Contract for Computer and less that 50% you can make it :

Just follow the first game rules. (Easy Cash)
(You need second Game for buying devkit)

You can now build research room : (4x4)
You can savings money take Development Room desk
And launch 4-Color support reshearch.
Next research the topic you need for me it's Hacking.
When research is done launch the first engine :D
First Engine
Assign all the staff to Development room
And make a New Engine like what you want. (me is Skill Engine)
Don't forget to select new on Features.
You should sell engine 10 000 $ and 12 % is corect
Second game is Coming :D
Second Game
Now make a game like people want :

(Yes this game name is realy good :D)
Don't forget the new engine :)
Next choose computer again no choice
Next don't forget to buy and use copy protection and use the same settings because it's Skill game.
Next same Priority and you can add Japan and Korean Language if you want.
Next see if 4-Color support is correctly selected , launch dev and Save the game.
When game is finished select again the best choice (refer to the first games)
And i got :



You can have better or lower but don't forget all update because this is good alternative to marketing (because before years 3 you can't).
After and Some screen
At that point you can do what you want.
You can repeat, search, engine and games as many times as you like.
Game Development Contract can be easy in early for lot of cash without lose many time !
Don't forget improve engine is better to make new one (for same genre).
You can have 6 Saves at the same time so take advantage.
Example of my gameplay :
  • Save 1 - Secure Save
  • Save 2 - Game Making Save
  • Save 3 - Game update and test Save
  • Save 4 - New Building Test if it work
  • Save 5 - New Building Game making Save
  • Save 6 - New Building Game update
So when Save 3 or Save 6 is a Succes i Overwrite Save 1

When you have 1 million you can build the production room but wait 2 Millions.
When you pass 3 Years Build Marketing room and hire 1 or 2 Guys with Office Speciality.
At that point you can do what you want.

Some Pics of my Game comming soon

Followed every step through 4 attempts only to still be negative unable to proceed by game #2 with the only way out being loans and rerolled idk how many times, but personally this seems based A LOT on luck as the game rolls different every scenario and in some you can't even get a foothold only on a skill popular start was I able to get close only to crash and burn again...

"5 patch in a row" was the key to success. I've cleared every achievements. Thank you.

Bug removed: sprites could be invented before 4 colors. I think this is interesting for you.

Sorry, but it would take too long to translate the whole list... and I'm sure the translation will come soon.
