I've been trying to figure it out how costs are calculated for a game as shown in Game History, but I can't seem to get it. I've kept a log for 10 games created in the beginning of the game. The first game began development in Y1/M1/W2, and had a release date of Y1/M3/W3. It was developed for the PC using 2D graphics (15k total, according to the game, at this point), and at dev stage 3 mono sound was selected (another 5k). So that is a total of 20k. If monthly costs are factored in, there were two instances of 8k for monthly costs (it took M2, 1W to make) that would be an additional 16k, bringing a total of 36k. However the cost came up as a total of 31k in Game History. All 10 games were made using this system, and the only one that was different showed 81, having 50k spent for magazine advertisments.

Am I missing something here? I can't seem to find any information on this wiki, or through google.
