Yantelope V2 Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 So I bought Game Dev Story off a ten cent sale and got instantly addicted to it and since then I've been playing pretty much all their games on android and they are so addicting. I find myself just playing them for hours. Anyone else got stuck on these games? World Cruise Story in particular had me hooked for quite a while.

deanb Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 I too found GDS to be highly addictive, but after a few days I weaned my self off, and eventually uninstalled it and not had the urge to go back since. The game overall was pretty basic and not much changed apart from the occasional power outage, which by the time they kick in you've got enough resource book things to just power your way through it anyway. Worth the 10p mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yantelope V2 Posted May 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 Yeah, I do wish they'd go back and make some of their games deeper. The seams of the games do start to show by the time you're at the end of them and they're overpriced at $5 but while you're figuring out the mechanics of them they can be very addicting. Pocket League Story was great too, I just wish they had a baseball version of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercurial Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 I just wish there was an endless mode where you can build your empire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yantelope V2 Posted May 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 Don't they let you just keep playing indefinitely after the game is "over" and it gives you a score? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuchikoma Posted May 16, 2012 Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 I got GDS and played through a game and a half of it. It was kinda fun, but didn't work out well for me - I'd copy combinations that sold really well in the real world but the game didn't like them so they'd flop. I was always just barely scraping by and could rarely go to the convention, so eventually I just had to stick with really trite stereotypical game types... which worked the second time around, but... then I'm really not doing much playing IMO. I just set up my employees and tell them to make the same kind of games everyone makes. I got a couple demos, I think for Hot Springs Story and Mega Mall Story, but before getting really into either, I kinda went "naah..." and deleted them. I still have GDS installed though because it's easy to play while distracted. Dean, 10p? In the Canadian store, it's still $3.99! I'd have a way better opinion of them if they were like $0.25!

Google had week long (actually I think 10 day long) sale a fair few months back selling a ton of apps for like 10p each. I was miffed that due to the limitations of the market I couldn't buy minecraft back then due to my current phone sucking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yantelope V2 Posted May 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 I grabbed minecraft for that brief glorious moment. I need to play it now that they've updated it a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though FWIW, in this world, people hate Puzzle Pirates Dean, 10p? In the Canadian store, it's still $3.99! I'd have a way better opinion of them if they were like $0.25!

I was talking about the iPhone price. Does your version have a banner ad, out of curiosity? I've heard it's more common on Android to have in-game ads, at least on cheap or free games (though banners are getting very common on free iOS games now since OS 4.)

Yantelope V2 Posted May 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 No banner ads on the paid apps for android usually. Free apps do have the ads quite commonly though. Again, almost all of the Kairosoft games are $4.99 on the US play store. I got Game Dev Story and Pocket League story on sale and just now World Cruise Story was only $2.50. I still think $4.99 is overpriced for their games but dang are they addictive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
