What do you think of this little gem:
http://www.greenheartgames.com/
Very basic game, but quite in depth and very addictive. Started off, made some good games, worked up to a nice new office, hired a load of staff and then went downhill quickly (my expenses were too high and I kept getting fined by publishers for not producing good enough games), so have to start again. This time take it a little slower I think.
The only thing I am struggling with is management, when you have people with high technology skills but low design skills and vice versa, which jobs do you give them (like Engine, Story, Graphics etc)? I don't think that was explained well enough. Nor the training, there's 5 types but 4 skills they increase, and it's not like there is only one training for each skills as far as I can tell.
Other than that, it's a fantastic game for ~£6, well worth trying it out IMO.
Anyone got any game development tips? So far I have found that Military Strategy, Fantasy RPG and Space Simulator are all very popular choices, never seem to get below 8 in ratings for those. Also, what platforms do you develop for?
