Game Dev Story - PC, Android, iOS and whatnot

[BlueScope]

So, just thought because of the concept of the game, it's darn cheap price and it's awesomely addicting gameplay, I'll just shove some links in here for you guys to check out... well, along with a few words on it. Note that I only got the mobile version (running on Android), so I don't know about the PC things... Raven wanted to play those, however I don't think she did that up to now...

It's a game about a video game developing company that has to - heyza - develop video games. You as the management have to hire and fire people and juggle their skills, choose release platforms, genre and themes of your games, affect their progression directly or indirectly, and do fancy stuff with the money you make with them, such as hiring booth babes for your yearly trade fair appearance.
What's interesting is the concept, which is somewhat samey throughout the whole thing (so that once you got the basics, you won't loose track of what to do anymore), however still different enough to not bore you for the first few hours. I actually got Raven in my neck ever since I bought the game to finally finish my playthrough because she wants to grab it, after we both played through the demo (which only holds the first two years) a bunch of times.

Because everything else I could say is just a wasted ingame month or two, let me just point you to the different places to go depending on what you're looking for, and sign the mobile versions at least with a giant recommendation. For 1.88 bucks (Android version) you got to look quite far to find anything of similar quality.

Game Dev Story @ AppStore
Game Dev Story @ Android Market
Game Dev Story for PC (apparently free, Japanese only)
Game Dev Story II DX for PC (apparently free, Japanese only)

Cool, gotta try this out on iOS. Will make another post when I played it for a while

EDIT: Well, I'm now around year 18 and it's hard to put it away. Made some pretty good games, but the balance is gone if you get behind. The new consoles get more expensive to use, and the cheaper ones leave. Other then that, it's very cool, and the PC version seems to have more content judging from the screens. ENGLISH VERSION NAO!

The PC versions in Japanese only, looks interesting, sort of like a sim game based around games, a little ironic but interesting, but I don't have an "Android, iOs or whatnot". I think this one adds to my list of Awesome-Japanese-Only-Games-Which-I-Dont-Understand-But-Play-Anyway.

I think I have an ipod classic lying around somewhere, any use?

 

[Mr_Smith]

Nope. iOS games only work for iPod Touch and iPhone.
EDIT: Hire Francoise Bloom as soon as you can. She's awesome.
