[Zanzetkuken The Great]

Month 1, Year 1

The war has ended.  The prior totalitarian control over the media and the forced requisition of all companies by the King have been put to an end.  You are one of the few who decided to attempt to start up a gaming empire in the void that currently exists for that industry, as all the more wealthy individuals have their investing in the exploitation of the newly opened television and radio networks.

(Remembered seeing a game where you played as a weapon-designing corporation awhile back.  Decided to apply the concept to gaming company instead.)

Spoiler: Actions (click to show/hide)

Each turn you have a number of actions available for use during the turn.  Any unused actions are lost.  Actions may wind up being tied up in bureaucracy once your company reaches a certain size, or due to outside events.  In order to gain more actions, you need to hire additional employees.  Each employee costs an additional $2500 to maintain.  Non-CEOs can choose to RP as one of the employees.

Spoiler: Game Creation (click to show/hide)

Creating a game requires the usage of 1 action and the declaration of a genre, at a cost of $500.  The game will start out with one basic mechanic for that genre, and then you build on it from that by suggesting a new rule each subsequent turn.  Implementation of that rule is determined by the roll of a die, the lower the number, the more poorly implemented the rule becomes.  Each suggestion requires the use of a single action.  Publishing the game for public consumption costs 1 action and $500, with more actions and money being able to be used to publicize the game in order to bring profits up.  A roll of a dice, with modifications, will determine how well the game in question was received.  The minimum may be increased either temporarily or permanently after different events.  You will also need to set the price of the game which you sell it to retail stores at.

You can build off of a previous game through releasing expansions and the such, though it costs 1 action and $250 to start, and carries the same minimum marketing cost.  However, they will not wind up selling as well.

Spoiler: Genres (click to show/hide)

You can create a genre using two actions and $1000, and declaring its name and listing the basic mechanic of it.  A roll of a die will determine how close the basic mechanic will be to what you wanted.  Creation of a genre implies creation of a game, so include the name.  Until the first game of the genre is released, the genre cannot be used by another company.  The developer of a genre gets a bonus to creating new games in the genre.

Available genres are below:
No Genres Developed

(Additional mechanics (ex. You're currently developing for tabletop, but later on you can design for video game platforms) will be added as time goes on, due to them being superfluous as of the current time.)

[LORD GOAT THE 120524TH]

Name:Jack Martin
Company Name: Snowstorm Games

Jack starts creating the genres called battler  and Co-op for while creating the game Wizard Battler 1. In this game you create a wizard along with 1 or more people and then battle.

[Orange Wizard]

PTW. Might do some RP later on.

[Zanzetkuken The Great]

Name:Jack Martin
Company Name: Snowstorm Games

(You can edit in your initial action as well.)

((Is this a RP? If not, I'll join, if so, I dont have time for that...But here is my application in case it isnt...))

Name:Donald Itsgath
Company Name: Excalibur Industries

(RP would be for fluff purposes, or provide a way for non-CEOs to give idea to CEO players in-character in the case of employees.  Some might even provide inspiration for a new mechanic, as well.)

[LuckyKobold]

Name:Crazy Dave
Company Name: Psychotic Rampage Incorporated.

[Zanzetkuken The Great]

(Don't forget your initial actions, future CEOs.)

Edit: (To those who are making actions alongside their sign-ups but haven't posted.  I can be a bit lenient in terms of the maximum.)

[LuckyKobold]

Crazy Dave begins to develop a genre called Comedy,Comedy games are exclusively based on Torture and Scaring Parents, In the Genre the Players are Clowns.The game he develops alongside is called "The Mushroom Torture".

[Zanzetkuken The Great]

Crazy Dave begins to develop a game called Mushroom Torture. The genre is Comedy.

(Check the 'genres' tab in the main post.  None exist yet, so you need to develop according to the rulings there.)

[LuckyKobold]

I edited my post.

[Zanzetkuken The Great]

(Forgot the core mechanic of the genre you're developing.)

[LuckyKobold]

Reedited.

[Playergamer]

Ooh! Reserve, if there's still space.

Spoiler: Dunician Legion (click to show/hide)

Name: Xaver Runik
Company Name: Dunician Legion

Develop the Shooter genre. The core mechanic of this genre is two or more players playing against each other, and trying to shoot each other with guns.

(Would quote, but phone sucks.)

(Kobold: 'Addictive' isn't a gameplay mechanic.  Roll a d20, players are wizards, line up tiles, etc are.)

(Person who asked about a reserve but whos namI can't check because my phone sucks: there's still room.)

(Just to make sure its clear: tabletop is the only 'platform' you are able to design for right now.  Video games arrive later.)

[LuckyKobold]

Triple Edit.
