An improved version of Game Dev Story/Tycoon, a lot more options (buying people out, making a console, publishing, etc) but with uglier graphics. Making of games still includes choosing a genre and a sub genre if you want and combining them with one or two topics that work well with them and each other (over 160 topics) then using sliders to choose where you want your focus to be (there will always be a best setting for the main genre), that and lack of events can get a bit boring. You can get a lot of "legendary" developers showing up in your hiring lists but they end up just having higher starting stats that you might have already trained your people to be better than and they don't have any lines or actions unique to them and come with a random appearance, so it just had the unfortunate effect of reminding me that Notch and American McGee exist. It's fun for a little while but does get repetitive (would be nice if it would just save the best game settings for each genre when you find them).
