God, this is like playing a MUCH slower game of game dev tycoon myself while my gamer friends and a small child are both shouting orders at me.

I don't care though. Game dev tycoon is GOAT and I really want to see greenheart games make another game.

The genius of game dev tycoon is that there's no setup phase like most other business simulations, and no real downtime where you're just waiting for money. You either do stuff or you lose. This makes it less deep than many management Sims, but it's also the only one you can play for like 15 minutes a stretch and accomplish something in.
 
Dominic Elliott is hired and did welcome training for him. Landon has finished doing the game report and Zoe has finished researching game tutorials. While waiting for Dominic let's have moves for Zoe and Landon.

Oops, forgot that due to Zoe Quinn researching Casual games we are left with 3 Research Points lol.

Looks like I have to get him to shit himself and do nothing.

Why don't you install the percentager mod? I think you can install it on an existing savegame. It allows you to see exactly what percent of effort is being put into each part of a game instead of estimating. It doesn't otherwise effect gameplay. This is going to be important once we unlock medium games.
 
We unlocked medium contracts now!
