Line 17:
* [[Arab Oil Sheikh]]: King Ackbar, an unlockable character who got hooked on games and ran away from his kingdom to become a game director.
* [[Arbitrary Headcount Limit]]: You can only fit 4 employees in your office at first, expandable to 6 and then 8. But it looks like you could cram in at least a couple more desks. And there's no real reason you wouldn't/couldn't expand further beyond the fact that they didn't include the option.
* [[Beary Funny]]: Grizzly Bearington, an unlockable character. He is initially introduced as a [[
* [[Bland
* [[Captain Ersatz]]: Many of the developers are based on real life developers or notable individuals.
* [[Caustic Critic]]: In the beginning, you will ''hate'' those critics. Their love and respect can be earned, but it will take years of hard work.
Line 24:
* [[Critical Dissonance]]: In-universe. Just because your game is a critical flop doesn't mean people won't buy it anyway. And conversely, a game can be very good critically but due to various factors, people just won't buy many copies (or you spent too much money on it and it doesn't break even).
* [[Cruelty Is the Only Option]]: There are diminishing returns to training employees. To get ahead, you eventually need to fire mediocre employees to make room for better ones.
* [[
* [[
* [[Executive Meddling]]: The game! The only thing your developers do on their own (other than work) is ask your permission to try something on the current game in development. Everything else, you have total control. What game to make. How to make the game. What job they'll do. Even where they sit. Want to churn out sequel after sequel? Work your staff overtime and burn them out creatively? Go for it.
* [[Guide Dang It]]: Have fun trying to figure out how to get a Hardware Engineer without some help from the Internet. Or how some of the more advanced mechanics work.
Line 32:
* [[New Game Plus]]: Starting a new game after playing through 20 years lets you keep the genres and types you've unlocked along with their levels. You still need to get them by having appropriate people but you don't need to train them.
* [[Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot]]: The genre options that the game lets you mix-and-match (along with the consoles you can make them for) can result in some pretty...bizarre games. Unfortunately, the Ninja, Pirate and Robot genres are mutually exclusive.
* [[Non
* [[Refuge in Audacity]]: It can turn out this way.
** You can have Lady Gaga, Walt Disney, Bill Gates, and Shigeru Miyamoto, Maria Sharapova, a monkey, and a robot working on an Architectural First Person Shooter for the Dreamcast.
** Even better: You can do it on a console with a potato chip that uses punch cards instead of cartridges/discs.
** Did somebody say, "Ninja Formula One Racer for the Wii/Whoops"?
* [[Rich in Dollars, Poor In Sense]]: Once you have some money under your belt, it can be easy to throw money around without really bothering to watch the bottom line.
* [[Ridiculously Human Robots]]: Kairobot, an unlockable character and the mascot of Kairosoft. He can also be hired to appear at the game's equivalent of E3.
* [[Take That]]: The imitator to the Wii in-game is named the "Whoops".
