The game has a fair share of trail and error, but it's fun discovering the combinations and what does and doesn't work well. My biggest gripe is the sequel system, I'd prefer to be able to put my games into 'series' and have spinoffs that aren't necessarily sequels (and have them grouped as a series on my game overview). The game timeline menu could use an overhaul regardless.","version":"1.6.9","date":"2024-09-13T00:00:00Z","rating":5,"app_id":"com.greenheartgames.gdt","username":"Hu Man","title":"","country":"US","tags":["performance_and_bugs"],"review_id":"98b6c5ec-479c-404c-a5d4-d0f639e09164"},{"content":"I keep coming back, over and over, for at least 6 years with this game.

That being said, the mechanics are refreshing and add a level of difficulty not found in GDS that I very much enjoy. The other improvement is the graphics. which I say are very well done. One of my favorite parts is how if your dev character pauses working from their computer, development stops. Nice attention to detail!
