Why, if you’re a gamer, you should play Game Dev Story

So there’s this game out called Game Dev Story. It’s from a Japanese developer, out for iOS, Android, and PC. The idea of the game is you start out as an up and coming game developer and you pump out games. Hire staff, put out more games, move to bigger offices, put out more games, etc, etc. It’s one of those “this won’t be fun…” games and then all the sudden it’s an hour later and you’re like “GAH! Stupid coder just got a hot streak of bugs! dick!”

My favorite part of the game is naming games. For instance, I made a War Shooter called simply X of Y. Or my series of RPG Dating games, “+1 to Love.” The sequels were +2 to Love, etc. The fact that dating games are real in Japan seriously depresses me.

Anyways, so there’s a point in the game where you can start making sequels to your hit games, and later you can put out your own console(s). So I’m on my second console and I named it “Sell your Soul.” As in, you have to sell your soul to get one because it’s god damned expensive. I’m trying to level up as many game types as I can so I’m on the third installment of my Table Harbor game (no, I have NO earthly idea what the hell kind of game that actually is but apparently it sells SUPER well). So the game’s finished, the little pop up comes up to let me rename the game or just go ahead and publish it. Current Title: Sell Your Soul - On A Boat 3.

THIS is the reason I’m playing this game. It’s cheap, stupid, total time waster, and funny.

Your welcome.
