In terms of technology, how long do we have to wait after you researched it before we can access it? Or must we research the tech ourselves to have access?

@Durandal

Once one person researches the technology, it's available to everyone. The only main "buff" about researching it, besides cosmetic/bragging rights, you can create the first console/game with THAT technology (which is also cosmetic), but since I sent you a devkit, your games can logically be 32-bit.

Plots

Gensokyo: Fairy Stopper Hiela is an Ice Fairy and lives calmly in the Lake within Gensokyo. Though, an evil Fairy named Umbria who is a Fairy of Darkness wishes to enslave all the Fairies and be the master of all and then try to take over Gensokyo! Can Hiela the Ice Fairy stop Umbria from taking over Gensokyo through five tough stages of faries who are enslaved by her or actually loyal to her? Gensokyo: Great Fairy Stopper Hiela has lately been relaxing and freezing frogs as always, but something is wrong. The other fairies are restless and attacking random people, more than normal, anyway. Umbria is not behind this it seems but something else perhaps....this thing is controlling the Fairies as to take over Gensokyo, will Hiela stop this being and save the Fairies?! Gensokyo: Final Fairy Stopper After Hiela befriended Fuega (the only fire she trusts, anything else will make her cry out of fear) and defeated the Dark Angel, just like the Witch did. She found that fairies were being killed and not returning back to life, like all fairies should. It was clear that the cowardly cat, Feca, was stealing the souls of fairies as to use them in gambling matches, she and Fuega have to to try and avenge their comrades (and enemies) and stop the cat! Though, them being fairies they aren't too powerful, and thus have to resort for a certain Witch and/or Shrine Maiden to stop the cat. They are on their hunt as to find them as well as to try and thin down the numbers for them; which explains why there are little to no fairies in their paths. (In Gensokyo II, Fairies only appear in Stage 2) Hiela and Fuega will secretly follow the Witch and the Shrine Maiden as to make sure they are not interrupted by any other of Feca's minions. Gensokyo: Flying Fallen Angels In the magic world of Gensokyo, separated from the outside world thanks to Kurai Arashi, a youkai gifted with the manipulation of boundaries, everything was peaceful as always. The youkai were hunting for food, the humans and kappa chatting, the Oni in Hell. Though, rumours began to circulate in Gensokyo that Angels with black wings or rather with no wings at all began falling out of the sky all over Gensokyo! These Angels soon began to invade Gensokyo and began to kill off innocent humans, though it was also seen that the Fallen Angels fought amongst themselves as if arguing weather they should do such evil deeds or not. A slightly mischievous witch, Ako Yakami, has decided to go investigate this "incident." Meanwhile innocents and Angels alike are being slain and blood is being shed in Gensokyo. Kurai Arashi has to deal with the Angels upfront as to give Ako time to find out the leader of these angels to stop them. Angel Purification System While playing the game, you will come across Fallen Angels, bigger and stronger than the fodder on the screen. If you successfully dodge its patterns and shoot exactly when prompted to, you will purify the angel and send it back up to Heaven, where you get a free bomb, life, or point bonus depending on how well you did. Gensokyo II: Fool Gambler's Good Luck In Gensokyo where myth and fantasy is real, sepereated from the Real World, there lives a cowardly Cat. This cat as known as Feca, Feca is a Cat whom steals people's souls to gamble in poker and mahjong matches. Lately he has been having very good luck, but there is a great match going on which he will gamble thousands of human souls in exchange for all the riches you could imagine! You have a limited amount of time and his match is with a Youkai named Iakoi, a female fox Youkai who has the power of literal Luck. This match WILL kill thousands of humans through-out Gensokyo, so it's up to Ako, and Ako's new friend Rei to stop the cat! And anyone who gets in their way!

The RP has been unpaused, and we are going with Method 1, we are thinking of more mechanical ways to nerf profit gained from consoles. Continue posting. Thank you for bearing with us.

Game Dev Tycoon Roleplay [GDTRP] (Current Year: 1989-1995)

GM NOTICE! RP PAUSED! @DiamondBlizzard and I need to have a talk about some stuff for the RP and I can't seem to contact him. Until he does, I'm using my authority as Co-GM to pause the RP to minimize the damage he's wrought upon my company. EDIT: It seems @DiamondBlizzard has been doing the calculations in a certain manner; I originally wrote the RP rules some time ago, and intended calculations to be done in a different manner. As such, we have a question to ask the players. @Durandal @NoobCW Should calculations be: 1) The combined total of every marketing campaign? (i.e. if you market 5 large marketing campaigns your total sales get a 250% boost?) This has the disadvantage that players who gain a lead will keep that lead, necessitating "cheap" negative GM events to reduce the ridiculous amount of sales. 2) Set up so each region is treated as a separate release of the game with separate advertizing that pools into a global total. This will reduce the effects of advertizing boosts and remove the need for constant game-balancing via GM events, but will increase the complexity of the RP greatly (especially for the GM). Your input is appreciated! Once both of you have weighed in, the system chosen will begin being used. Until then, the RP is paused until further notice.

@SimYouLater

Something to add, if each region counted as a seperate release, say you got 9? Each region would get 150k sales, leading to an even bigger lead in money. At least, that's how I see it. @MR D12

CEO Name: Seamus Jacksons Company Name: TheLastGames Company Logo: Main/Starting HQ:Ireland History how it was founded: It was founded by Seamus' great grandfather, who originally made it as a Tabletop games company. however as the market shifted from tabletop games to video games, the buisness started loosing money. a couple of weeks later Seamus' great grandfather fell ill and passed away. in his will he left the company to Seamus. Seamus moves away from Tabletop games and into the video game industry.

@MR D12

Accepted!

Trip City

Why would I grant you power later in the game if you can already beat up anyone? This game is focused on growth and change. Even if you were age 99 and knew any martial arts I would not accept it. I made this new topic to start fresh with new rules for a reason. I won't apologize for making my own RP and establishing my own rules and aesthetics. If I gave you sci-fi powers later in the game you'd still be beyond anyone here in terms of power level because it would combine with your known skills. I will not continue this conversation further. I will not accept a character from you because 1. you disagree with my views in a world I created, and 2. you are hard to deal with, 3. your character doesn't fit in the world, and I'm not willing to work with you on it. That is final.

@Fleeter

So, under any circumstances what-so-ever, I can't have martial arts because it's too "overpowered." I might as well make my own Slice of Life RP, which I may actually do. Good day. -Tip le fedora-

Trip City

@Fleeter So because of my knowledge of real life martial arts, I'm not allowed to join? Really?

@DiamondBlizzard

It's because of your behavior. You don't want to shorten your character description when I asked. Like I said. It isn't about representing you in real life. It's about balancing the players that exist in the world already. Your character is way too overpowered and is younger than all the people here. Congrats for your real life skill, but it is not what we are looking for in this fictional universe.

@Fleeter

I said I refuse to get rid of the martial arts skills, I don't mind editing it, what would you have suggested I do? And as I suspected, apparently martial arts skill is "overpowered" quite ridiculous in my opinion, and if it's a fictional universe where we get powers and all that, then even more so, how am I OP? I'll be glad to edit my age up a bit, but I'm being perfectly realistic (except for the armed guy bit, which I'll edit out most likely.)
