Title: GameBiz 2: a simulator about the game industry
Post by: slesh on Wed 15/09/2010 15:34:31
Hi!

Anyone know this game?

It's a game that lets you make videogames and platforms.

I think that it has a challenging and very good gameplay, even if the interface is not brillant. Luckily its upcoming sequel will have an huge improved interface.

However i like the concept, i wish there were more games like that.

Oh my god -someone should make an freeware adventure game developer simulator!  How awesome would that be?! 

Drink more liquor -game quality goes down! 
Pimp game online, downloads increase marginally! 
Free server site crashes -crisis! 
Girlfriend just doesn't "get" it -liquor consumption increases! 
Have spat with development team -recruit more malleable newbies!
Critics assign one cup rating -flame the forums!
Landlord hassles you for rent - pretend you're not home!
Sprite walk-cycle looks like your cat drew it -drink more liquor!
Internet fame spreads -start a blog!
Eviction notice posted - move it to the jerk-next-door's door adventure game style!
Drink liquor -dream of going commercial!
Hit minor road-block - abandon project!

And so on and so forth....

This is the basic essence of indie game development  :=

I notice you start with one million pounds. This has not been my experience with game development so far.

C Jones seems remarkably pleased with earning £0. Then again, it's as much as most of us have to put up with in this line!
