Game Review: The Dev

Gamer Maker game! :D

So, this is a game made by someone who goes by the name of “Shady Guy” where you’re basically the owner of a game company and you have to choose the right interns, and make games. You can also choose how you want the game formatted by choosing certain Platforms, Genres, and Type of game that it is so you can attract the right customers. Every now-and-then a shady man comes in and you have to choose what to do, each one will effect you in a different way.

For each new product made, you’ll be able to make a game on that platform, and every few sells you get a new genre/platform. You can always choose the name of the game and you can even choose the name of your company (of course).

Just a few teeny flaws huh?

Now don’t let first appearances fool you, this game just wasn’t meant to be professional (Professionalism (in an extreme way) is not meant here, not that it ISN’T professional) so don’t start with the troll-hate comments. Plus, give the guy some credit, it was made in Game Maker and man it’s pretty neat. The graphics are pretty cute, especially the extremely skinny game awards announcer. They’re actually pretty good, like the icons for the “ingredients” (so to say).

As all games, there are bugs of course. Don’t kill yourself if you do get a little bug encounter, it’ll be alright. Just exit out of the game and then come back in and your game will be perfectly fine. The game literally saves itself every few minutes so you don’t need to worry about any missing game progress.

Now the actual gameplay, goodie.

The gameplay had me hooked for a few minutes. One thing, to find out if the game is literally endless (which i hear it is in fact endless). I love that after you make a game and title it, the critics get their opinion of the game and you get a score and everything. Then there’s literally different audiences for the genres. Sometimes it’ll show you what gender/age audience follows you the most, and depending on what games you’ve made, you will have a certain audience (of course I mainly have a female audience XD).

Then! You can have advertisements to up the popularity and it will of course, gradually go up. Though some advertisements will make popularity go down in certain age/gender groups so be careful what you’re doing!

Time for epic bloggery!

Tiara:

Hello people of wordpress, but more importantly, this blog! My name is Tiara :D! My friend Shaun added me to this blog with a great idea: Co-Op Gaming reviews. I just think that it’ll be so fun. I’d mainly review games that I play regularly, free games, MMO’s, and flash games. All reviews will be on this blog and my personal blog under the Links (which you can just click on from this post). My information (Like games I play on a regular basis) with my username on those games will be on my personal blog, and if you ever want to add me, just tell me “Hey, saw your blog, wanted to add you” or something neato like that so I know you’re not some.. random pedobear.

Shaun:

I don’t get around to blogging as often as I would like, so Tiara’s going to be adding her crazy activity to the blog. She’ll be doing all sorts of game reviews. You can still expect some personal stuff from me as well as game reviews. Make her feel welcome, and welcome to trollsandrickrolls!

To celebrate this momentous occasion, the theme and a few other things have changed around the site.
