I don't like the grid management games either (except for Dungeon Village, which was awesome.) I really liked Pocket League Story, but there is a small training facilities management aspect to it. As far as capturing the feel of Game Dev Story, I would actually recommend two non-Kairosoft games: Fiz and A Story of a Band. I think you could end up spending a lot of time on those if you like the beer brewing or rock band aesthetic. I've heard from the Android games thread that Magazine Mogul, which just came yesterday, feels a lot like GDS, but I haven't had a chance to play it yet. The idea of magazine management doesn't really appeal to me. Mostly it just makes me wish they would port over the manga game, ワクワク！まんが道場 (it'll never happen of course.)

(the 2nd one that "recently" came out). Pretty sure there are some facilities you can upgrade but you have only 4 building slots its mostly a building being used as a passive. The main focus is on building your team and kicking rear end.

Bought Magazine Mogul when I saw the previous post. It reminds me of game dev story a lot. Hire a staff, train them, choose what sort of magazine to make, and make it. There are more details involved than in game dev story though, like picking your audience and choosing advertisers. It looks like a solid kairosoft title to me

vulturesrow posted:Thanks for the tips. Finished my first playthrough of Pocket Harvest and really enjoyed it. Just need to figure out a good way of generating lightbulbs. Might have to go back to PL Story 2 and try to finish out a playthrough.... Some of the tours give a lot of research points if everyone is happy at the end. And you can pick up a bunch by completing the missions for the deli/fruit stand/etc. Though I need to get more to get more tools for the workers. How many bio-engineering buildings do people build? Is it worth surrounding them with lots of different crops or just work on one specific crop? Also debating about creating one section of the farm that's just for tourism and jamming all of the items there. The space they give you seems enormous given the adjacency bonuses that can rack up. I buy new land just to move the new item into my compact farm, maybe this is a bad idea.

I generally only have one or two buildings surrounded by one or two different sorts of crops. I found that the thing that's going to cost you the most is the specialties for your facilities but once they're unlocked, they are still unlocked if you start a new game. Once they're all unlocked, the only thing you're using those points for are making items so you can just focus on tweaking a crop to spit out a whole lot of points for specific items. Like I planted just potatoes and tweaked them to get lots of starch and taste (I think it's taste) so I could make loads of soda to improve my workers' stats.

Using items on plants upgrades their traits. If a trait hits 2.5 (the maximum), it will never decrease. This means that you can eventually max out every trait on a crop at 2.5. Combine that with fast growing crops with large quantities (cherry tomatoes are really really really good at this), and you have a research point generating machine. I think I had three bio engineering building plot areas surrounded by cherry tomatoes at one point.

I really llike Pyraplex so far, although I had never played Megamall. I understand it's basically a remake of it but with pyramids, right? So far, everything's going well, but I have just one question in regards to the "Selling Stones" request: do we have a finite amount of it? Or is there another way to get it once you've gone through your wall?

Or is there another way to get it once you've gone through your wall? The last two sections of wall are infinite, so chop to your heart's content. I have to say I'm a little disappointed in the last few iOS Kairo releases - Pyraplex and Kairobotica and World Cruise... they all felt too damned easy. Maybe I'm getting too used to the formula, but it felt with the earlier ones that if you weren't abusing the gently caress out of synergies and being as efficient as possible, you had no chance of hitting the end game in your first run through. I still haven't figured out how to beat the real bad guy in Ninja Village, and winning the Kairo course in Grand Prix without inheriting a car still feels like a real achievement. Pyraplex? I 5-starred my pyramid in year 10 and haven't found more than 15 Power Points. Not that this will stop me from buying whatever they do next as soon as it's out.

The carry-over car in a new game+ in GP I don't think is all that helpful anyway - if you try to take a higher class car, your low-skill techs can't make a build out of it that's any good for such a long time to come.

I strongly disagree. My car of choice is a Super Car, which has stats around the 400s if upgraded properly (can't be bothered to check right now). With four middling mechanics (i.e. as soon as I upgrade to the next tier) I can get stats in the 200s despite all of the swearing and smoking. That's much better than anything else at that point in the game. As for Ninja Village, throw your army at the training ground every time it becomes available. Either you win and make some money/score some loot, or you lose and your army gets upgraded for free. Also, once you gain the ability to rearrange your village, optimize it for efficiency. Only people with high work scores should be producing stuff, the paths between each step of production should be as short as you can get them, etc. I'll try to take a minute and screencap my village later.

I'm going to assume if I can't read Japanese this isn't going to be fully playable (its a kairosoft it would be pretty easy to fumble your way through most menus regardless). I'll wait for a translation and give Kairosoft more of my money because I'm hopelessly addicted to their game style. I can never really get into replaying them after I put one down but I will get absolutely consumed by one even if its basically the same game with a new skin. Is it more like game dev or magazine? Game dev was better than magazine even though they were the same style, so hoping for something a bit more towards that (Game dev is actually the only one I've been able to replay).

I think the general rule has been a translation to English after a few weeks, then a port to iOS after a few months. It does look like another clone of Game Dev/Magazine Mogul like the guy above said. I think those types are all pretty similar gameplay wise.

Yeesh, that makes 3 games that are out on Android, in Japanese, then. The pirate game, that came out in August. The Social Media Game developer game, that came out last week. And This Anime Studio game, that came out now. I really hope they release some translated ones soon. e: The Anime studio one is the only one of those that isn't Free + IAP, by the looks of it.

My impression of Magazine Mogul is that it's a slightly touched-up reskin of Game Dev Story. I haven't played either; which would I be better off getting if I'm only going to do one in the next year or so?

Magazine is a much better version of game dev story, I bit the bullet and grabbed it because I'm a fool for these games. Magazine has things like target audiences based on advertising affecting sales (though not quite as deep as it sounds) and more things to do/that are required to upgrade things, as well as a three part category system rather than a two part one. For example, Game Dev would have 'Ninja' and 'Action' where Magazine has 'Town Center' 'Student' 'Festival'. It's just a better game IMO, though they share the same basic flaws.
