Ok, revenue is down, are stocks aren't trending and some kid told me on the street the games we make are shit. I come to ask you anons of /v/ what is the next big gaming trend we can exploit?
Feminism.
Fishing.
Undertale.
Pixelated indie games. Make every side scroller through smaller puppet companies and laugh
>>322582721
Just make a WoW clone.Is RTS an under-served niche? DK3 and new C&C when?
>>322583571
>Just make a WoW clone
>Expensive to make and maintain
>No guaranteed success
You're fired.
>>322582721
Kids love sandbox games, boss man. Just make an open world game filled with nothing to do but destroy vehicles and go on rampages and shit.
>>322582721
I hear kids love this "bloodborne" game. Lets capture its style and release it exclusively on xbox one, it'll be a real system seller. We'll call it "Boneborne"
Give children access to miniature predator drones that fly over the middle east and the kids can shoot bottle rockets at muslims from their console/pc.
The predators are solar powered so we don;t have to pay for gas and the kids buy bottle rockets instead of expansions or DLC
You're going to trust some little shit on the street?
Anyways, here's what we go.
Reskin a simple game from the 90's like bust a move/Puzzle obble, put it on mobiles with powerup microtransactions, and use someone famous in our ads.

we'll be rolling in furry autism tugboat money in no time, sir
>>322582721
License out an old but well loved IP
Make a new game for this IP, make most of the changes optional or directly better, try your best to make it the game the old fans wanted
Make sure that it's accessible to a broad audience however
>>322582802
This man is right.
We need to appeal to feminists. Make sure not to include any male specific torture scenes or we'll anger them.
>>322582721
you make a good game for once.
anime tiddies games
Make ftp match three with micro transactions, market to women and have Brad Pitt do a commercial
>>322584232
I can feel the desperation in this post anon, what is the name of the series you love that isn't being made?
Open world crafting VR as a bald marine with a gun in a desert shooting browns.
You can ride a horse/tank/jet/jettank/shark
Hire yourself to write the brilliant story
Use a 20 year old engine to make it and save on costs

Open world sandbox pvp multiplayer. I shit you not The Division will spark this.
>>322582721
probably more telltale shit. takes 0 skill, gives you the illusion of choice and gives the "cinematic experience"
Re-release old games and add skin pack DLC.
>>322583376
Make it waifu fishing with shounen powers and i'll give you a raise.
Make a full and complete game and sell that as a marketing point.
>>322583571
>Is RTS an under-served niche?
RTSes such as League of Legends and DotA 2 are quite popular these times, anon.
>>322591582
CDPR almost did that by making all their dlc free for Witcher 3. Hatred kind of tried to do that but the irony was the game was only two hours long and the content therein wasn't that stellar.
We should sue people who don't buy our products
>>322592946
MOBAs are on the up, but old time RTS like age of empires are dead, because multiplayer is autism and singleplayer has too shitty of an AI.
@322593046
thats the joke
>>322593046
>because multiplayer is autism
waah why would you need to press buttons and interact with the computer system in order to play a videogame
>>322582721
>monetizing everything is making it shit, how do we carry on monetizing everything
going the same was as the music 'industry', enjoy COD 50, I ain't giving AAAs ideas.

>we downsize and cut our dev team to 1/4, pump extra revenue into internet viral marketing, take previous best sellers and re-release an HD product and see if the guy in aquisitions can get a good price on key chains to slap as a preorder bonus
>finally take some main stays of previous brand and release a retooled mobile (bejewled, text twist, mafia wars etc) add micro transactions and possible dlc tie-in with hd re-release
other than that i would recommend diversifying and possibly liquidating other assest that are hemorrhaging profits

The last time I payed Hatred it was.
Supporting Indie developers more. Milk the machine. Shooters are overrated. Retro games should make a big comeback to the masses. Super Mario Maker is the step towards the right direction.
>>322600404
My bad. Misread your original post as referring to Witcher.
>>322582721
simple, boss. kids these days can't go 5 seconds without looking at their cell phones. and everyone under the age of 25 is madly in love with pokemon.
so we'll make a pokemon style game where players pick a cell phone and throw it at their opponent. SAMSUNG, I CHOOSE YOU -and russel crowe that shit into his or her rival. also, different cell phone models can be downloaded for some trifling fee so we make money hand over fist.
>>322582721
Alright Mr. CEO here's what you do.
You blow all of your funds on this one project. Make the title something like, "Last Hope", something edgy so whether or not the game succeeds the title meant something.
Make it an RPG. Your main protag is female. The collective cast of the party members MUST include these things:
- A furry
- A big brawler dude who ISN'T black
- A mechanical dude who IS black
- A thick thighs loli
Your story doesn't mean shit, do whatever. Just make these characters memorable. Do some bullshit chapter type story progression or something.
Near the end of the game do a big reveal with female protag,preferably something that involves the female having a dick. I don't care how you do it, just do it.
Ending of the game is a time skip where the protag ends up with the (now OF age) thick thighs girl.
Sprinkle memes and shitty puns in there somewhere.
Guaranteed success. I await my VGA.
>some game dev anon was making a game about shooting breed cats from a tea cup
>said anon liked my ideas and seemed really positive towards putting them in
I have no idea if he'll make said game, but if it does and it becomes a hit I'll be able to say I'm the reason cats terrirized the world. And that's neat.
>>322582721

You had a great idea up to this point I'm seeing a pokemon clone on cellphones.
>>322601263
>- A furry
>- A big brawler dude who ISN'T black

So teen titans then?
>>322601470
Cyborg fits both the brawler and mechanical parts. Invalid.
>>322601346
you should have read the whole thing, then.it'll be released on n64
Here's how we do it. We make a game that's F2P and no microtransactions.
>So, we have lots of DLC planned, right?
Nope! In fact, any DLC will be 100% fee.
>So how do we make money?
You put the game in a meme aspect ratio and fill the letterbox with ads. One and done.
>two months later, Undertale 2 launches and fails miserably because of 2560x480 visibility issues.
>>322582721
Mobile F2P with microtransaction games of all your big IPs.
It's the born mobile generation after all
>>322583896
>invest man-hours and allocate budget toward making a clone of a niche game that didn't win a single award during the 2015 VGAs and was generally disliked by most people
clean your desk and be out of the building in half an hour please, or I'll call security.
>>322601263
>Only black person is dehumanized by needing mechanical parts to be a functional member of the team
>Protag is still a man, slapping all females who could finally identify with the lead and triggering all the trannies
Anon, are you trying to lose your job?
>>322602434
I'm really sorry, when I meant mechanical I meant smart. I wanted him to be a mechanic of sorts, not be half mechanical.
>>322602783
I'm glad we cleared this up, I assume by 'having a dick' you mean that the final chapter is about her last operation and the final boss is the last remnant of oppression on her?
>>322603031
Yes, but don't make it too obvious. Give the final boss and her some really deep backstory or something so that in the end the moral is to do whatever your heart says to do or something cheesy. I'm sure you can nab that off of a blog somewhere.
Monster girls.

Glorious, I knew it was right to call you. You're now project leader, here is a license for the frostbite engine, you have time until October so we can ship for Christmas.
