Taking the insanely popular LEGO franchise and combining it with the insanely popular Harry Potter franchise, we are left with LEGO Harry Potter and a game that covers the first four books/films.
This is a picture story of my best company so far in the iPhone app game dev story

@mjsdabeast thx for the reply!
here is the link to the guide i read about gamedev story (including the part about hackers) diygamer.com/2010/10/game-dev-story-guide/
or google “gamedev story guide” and hit the first link
in the middle of the guide they will mention a few lines about hackers… hope you can confirm this or something cause your waaaay ahead of me in skills and time in gamedev story =D im just courius hehe
@loffe2s I think you should just keep them hackers i have never heard what your talking about. Also, if you really think you need a new employee and you have the money i would go for the special people, but they’re not always as good as just a normal person
nice studio!
i have a question aboute hackers… some people say you should keep them as hackers and some say to change there jobs to writer, graphic, music people. What do you think?
2. When a magazine tells you about someone thats needs a job, should you hire them? like mr X and that teddy-bear
@RootzofEvil ya your going to lose all those but you keep the rank for the both so you’re going to have to train your workers to get them back and you most likely won’t get the same types and genres back or atleast thats what happened to me
wait… how do I get my old genres and types? cuz i only have some and i want to use some of the genres and types but i’m not able to find them
@RootzofEvil No the price to make a game will be the same and really who you choose to work for you is your choice but make sure you have enough money when you upgrade and hire them. Yes, once you have enough money where you won’t ever be in debt, you can make all your employees a hacker except for one. One thing you should try is to save as much money as you can and even if a great console is coming out, you should wait until a console that you absolutely need comes out, that worked for me
@mjsdabeast but isn’t making the games going to be more expensive?
and later in the game, who should my workforce be composed of?
like should i get flora? and should all my workers (except for 1) be hackers? cuz that’s how i got into this
(well i bought the last console but barely had any money before i had to pay my workers salaries
@RootzofEvil I think it’s about time to start a new game. You will have to start out at the very beginning of the game but i believe that you keep the attributes that you earned from the previous games to make it a little bit easier
Ok I’m in a real debt crisis
I’m in the negative zone and I don’t think I can get myself out
Should I start a new game? I already finished my 20 years (on year 28 right now)
what exactly will happen when I start a new game?
@mjsdabeast ok thanks
@frankbbbbb789 To get hardware engineers(which is what i think you mean) u need lots of job change card (6-7). Change a job of a person and upgrade that job to lvl 5. Change that person job again an upgrade to lvl 5 until every job of that person is lvl5. Then you will unlock hardware engineer:)
i need help how do you get a hard dive eng?
i need help how do you get a hard dive eng?
@chelladude by the way he was making a console and to say that i’ve already got the graphic more than 300
@malletbjm Oh and for any one who is wondering the rest of the first one is:
Action|Ninja – Realism, Game world
50 000 000 sales is easy. For every game I made now, it will exceeds 50mil. My highest record is 86mil.
To get hackers u need lots of job change card (6-7). Change a job of a person and upgrade that job to lvl 5. Change that person job again an upgrade to lvl 5 until every job of that person is lvl5. Yes you will unlock hardware engineer. Change job of the person when he is a hardware engineer and a hacker job will be unlocked.
@chelladude you can use those boost items that you can buy from that salesman to get things over 150 and even over 200, or just buy better employees or train them. Consoles do not get that much money i only made two because of that, and for the salaries you just have to wait until you know you are going to be able to pay your employees before you hire them, or just keep making successful games like the second one is over make another. I won the game of the year every time and you win 100,000k
okay, 1 how do you get the fun, graphics etc so high (the highest ive been able to do is about 150 each.
2. ive made a console, and i thought it was just going to get me loads of money and i would be rich then i found out that the staff saleries just make you bankrupt, how do i stop this from happening?
ps. have you won the game of the year award? and when you win the best game of the year award do you actually win 1 million or do you win 100,000k im a bit confused. :$ Please reply…
My “Carl of Duty” series gave me 85,000,000 sales combined
i have already by genre : rpg , simulation, sim rpg, table, action, adventure, shooter, action rpg, racing, online rpg, trivia, life, board, puzzle, music, audio novel, educational
and by type : exploration, sanurai, pirate, animal, robot, historical,movies, ninja, chekers, reversi, golf, marathon, dating
can you tell me some good combinations ??
@shironioblivion Do Hollywood Agent (highest hire option). By doing this, you get the best available employees. My whole team is full of high level hackers/producers which 7 of them are hardware engineer.
@itsjustron88 Yep third upgrade is the highest place you can get.
@mjsdabeast Not all the stats have to be above 150. I had a game with over 500 fun, 100+ graphics and creativity and sound (not above 150) and my game had a 40 review. Plus over 75 million copies sold. Year 18
. First 20 year in my career too.
why do you still have that newb ownerton guy? low power = terrible employee, no matter what the stats
@kingofthelunchtable max out all jobs for a certain employee (career change manual)
I am in some major debt. 15 million dollars in debt with no games out. I have a console out but it is not selling well. I keep doing contract work but it won’t get me out of debt before i have to pay another ten million for salary. I can do any contract but lately the highest price has been 800k. What should i do to get back in the game? And what should i do to make sure i don’t go back into debt?
Ok. So i did hollywood agent and i got a hacker. She also has a level 5 in hardware enj. but when i try to change her to hardware enj it won’t let me. She doesn’t have level 5 in every job but she does in hardware enj. what shiould i do and why can’t i change her? and how many hardware enjineers should i have?
lol… more ??? i heard in game guy that a msked man is asking for jobs… but he never came to me. also why keep one person a non hacker? thx
still not done… lol… ok so if how do i get f1 racing unlocked? and how do i get the special ppl like the monkey and robot?
