Before I created my own game platform, I was using the same topic all the time，and always chose eyeone(Sometimes choose mature ). And then I got these suitable genre.( Please forgive me for not being very good at English)
The version of this is 1.6:3
First of all, this wiki page is awesome and really helped me with the game.
I noticed that the suggested slider bar positions are not optimal for certain genres in order to get a good T/D ratio. For example, the slider positions suggested for Action would yield a T/D of 1.14 (assuming your employee's T and D are relatively equal), which is not nearly close enough to the "ideal" 1.8.
I've come up with a set of slider positions that yields a better T/D ratio. These numbers are all percentages of the bar at the bottom, NOT slider positions. Format is: "Engine/Gameplay/StoryQuest//Dialogues/LevelDesign/AI//WorldDesign/Graphics/Sound"
Action: 70/20/10//10/20/70//10/70/20
Adventure: 10/40/50//80/10/10//50/20/30
RPG: 10/40/50//50/40/10//50/40/10
Simulation: 70/20/10//10/20/70//10/70/20
Strategy: 70/20/10//10/20/70//20/60/20
Casual: 10/80/10//35/55/10//10/20/70
These should give a much closer to ideal T/D ratio than the ones suggested in this page (and I've tested them out and it's worked out very well). This works on Medium games, but you can't always use it on Large or AAA games and get "Good Management" because some of the percentages are too high for a single person. The following numbers work better for AAA games (but note that Action and Simulation games will NOT yield a good T/D if you have a balanced team, and Strategy will only barely yield a good one):
Action: 50/40/10//10/40/50//10/50/40
Adventure: 10/40/50//50/40/10//50/20/30
RPG: 10/40/50//50/40/10//50/40/10
Simulation: 50/40/10//10/40/50//10/50/40
Strategy: 50/40/10//10/40/50//25/50/25
Casual: 15/50/35//35/50/15//30/20/50
I've added the version tag at the start, because I can now CONFIRM that this is outdated: In-Game data collected from game reports indicates that in 1.4.15, Dev Time Allocations now Vary by Topic/Genre instead of just by Genre.
Many of them at least seem to stick to the old Genre-only allocations, but not all. I've uncovered Rhythm/Casual as having Graphics as a ++ instead of a +++ previously, but now I've found one that seems to have more variances and am currently intensively researching it: Cyberpunk/Action.
My Results for Cyberpunk/Action so far: Engine: (Probably +++, maybe ++), Gameplay: -, Story: (Probably ++, maybe +++). Dialogues: (Unknown, probably ~ or Less), Level Design: +++, Artificial Intelligence: (Probably ++). World Design: (Probably ++), Graphics (Probably +++), Sound: ~
Values not in parens are directly confirmed by game report, values in parens are some degree of Guesswork. A few specific Reasons: Story's high position is based on getting blasted in a review for neglecting it, indicating it's one of the 'over 40%' types. World Design is a Guess based off the fact that the 'normally' ++ sound is a ~ instead, leading me to theorize that it got swapped with World Design. Dialogue: I don't seem to get any penalty for neglecting it.
I just released a Mature Cyberpunk/Action on the PC (which is only a ++ platform for action) using my guesses/research to assign the sliders and got a 9.25 (a second attempt with a Sci-Fi/Strategy inbetween got me an 8.)
I'm going to keep making/researching Cyberpunk/Action in an attempt to clear the picture further, but it's pretty clear that it does NOT conform to the 'normal' Action values.
I'm also somewhat concerned that the T/D Target Ratio may also have been altered, but don't know how to check that.
Hello, I started following these and look at the ratings I got, a 6 and a 7.25, are these that accurate? I never even got a 9 when they were rating it.
Hey Folks,
is it possible to get the Tables (Combinations) as a PDF file?
Could you integrate it in the wiki / set a link to the file on this page?
I'd like to print only the tables or view them on my smartphone while playing.
Greets...
it says that the VenaGear is great with evryone audience... but it says in the game when i made "It seems that the initial sales for -Insert game name here- have fallen way below expected nu,bers. The game received good reviews but it seems that the chosen platform isin't very popular with the target audience." :( explain!
Does anyone have a slot_knowledge that has all the combinations and stuff on it they could upload for other people to download?
The information for Action/Adventure is VERY wrong i got all 1's. And it's not the first time this site gave me VERY wrong info on the slibe bars, am I doing something wrong?
I am getting reports from my Strategy category games that are saying Graphics are not important to game design (-). This is a complete contradiction to what I am seeing on the guide. Can anyone else confirm this information and if so can we get it updated.
So what I have for stage three for strategy games, based on ingame hints from game reports, is World Design (blank, no feedback), Graphics (-), and Sound (++). I am generating a lot of strategy games and running constant reports to try and get more information.
So yeah, I've been using this page a lot and thanks to it I've come a really long way. Now, however, someone who believes themself /selves to be unbelievably funny have removed all the sheets and strategies listed there. While it's no real problem since whoever is in charge of this site, admin or otherwise, will undo the sabotage, but it proves that people who are too stupid to contribute to society in any way instead choose to destroy others hard work. Hopefully whoever did this will be banned from this, and this will stand as another example that people who are useless needs to get attention by ruining for others.
