Game Dev Story

I have put so many hours into this game over the last decade+. While it's definitely more suited to being a mobile game, the steam version has somehow managed to suck yet more hours out of me. It's very simple but the dopamine from seeing the little icons flow into your game is very real. And attaining that elusive 40/40 review score is a fun little challenge. Definitely worth trying for those with time to kill while on public transportation.

开罗30周年打折很划算，查了一下PS没有白金杯，就买了几弹有喜欢的题材，作为一个喜欢游戏的人来说果断是游戏开发物语ヾ(≧▽≦*)o但是体验下来感觉很是失望（；´д｀）游戏内容比想象中的少(。>︿<)_就现在而言就是一个DEMO的感觉/_ \其他几个38定价的不会也都是这个样子吧emmmmmm(⊙﹏⊙)

绝对的经典之作

好玩

小时候用小手机打发时间用的，现在玩起来也好玩，虽然没有太多的深度，作为小品游戏还不错。

开罗游戏还用推荐吗，赶紧玩就行了

played this a lot on my phone years ago

畢竟是早期作品，整個平衡性比較差、上手難度比較高。 耐玩性也沒有到很高。很多完美遊戲組合都很莫名其妙。 剛開始沒找到正確的經營方法弄得一直賺不了錢，懂了之後又過於輕易就能賺到錢。 大後期的獎盃又很拖戲，最後就只是強迫坐牢了好幾個小時。 不過點子還是不錯的。

真好玩啊。。。。几年前在安卓手机上玩过一次，这次补票重新玩发现游戏性居然比我想象得高很多 但是，真的太难攒钱了吧，感觉是我玩过的几款开罗游戏里最难攒的，而且员工升级之后工资涨到天价，导致不坚持不断地开发游戏就随时可能破产（开发过程还得一直点点点没法跳过，很坐牢

Since I was a child, I've always loved Kairosoft games, though back then I played pirated versions on my phone. Now that I finally have time to play, I took advantage of this anniversary sale and directly purchased the first and second bundles of the Kairosoft collection. It's not that I don't like the third and fourth bundles, or that they aren't good enough—it's simply that I'm still a student and not financially independent, so I could only buy as many as I could afford, in the order they were released. I plan to complete them one by one according to my own preference, and write some simple reviews for fellow Kairosoft fans. As the first title in the first bundle, Game Dev Story has a fairly straightforward premise: you play as the boss of a game company, managing your business with the goal of winning the Game of the Year award. The core gameplay loop is about continuously developing new games. You can choose from successive generations of consoles (which is quite interesting, as it gives you a sense of console evolution). After selecting a game genre, each title is scored across four dimensions—writing, programming, graphics, and music—and these scores depend on your staff's corresponding attributes. So the loop is clear: develop games → sell them to earn money and skill points → train your staff → then use better staff to create higher-quality games. However, this loop starts to feel tedious after about three hours. There isn't much variety in what you can do—you're mostly just developing new games over and over, and the popular genres remain largely the same. Later on, after unlocking hardware engineers, you can develop your own console, reaping both game sales and licensing revenue. Eventually, by repeatedly changing jobs and maxing out all classes, you unlock the hidden "Hacker" class. Along the way, you gradually recruit the legendary eight-member team. Unfortunately, the stat gaps between characters are quite noticeable—my starting character, whom I trained extensively and even maxed out as a Hacker, can still be easily surpassed by Kairo-kun. To win Game of the Year, you need all four stats to reach 800+, which is pretty demanding. It's also wise to invest heavily in promotion and marketing. It's worth noting that in the Chinese localization, many game studios and game titles are clearly parodies of real ones, which will bring a knowing smile to veteran players.
