Ah, this game is so close. I enjoyed it and had a lot of fun, but as total crumpet would say, "a flawed gem." I had several issues with the game lagging really bad (very uncommon problem for this comp) as well as some issues with the controls.
A couple of suggestions.
When picking your team for each project allow that list to be sorted by job type. Then I would be able to quickly compare all my coders at one time instead of scrolling up and down.
Another idea to make it easier to tell how many employees of each type you have would be to make the background art on the workstation match the job. I thought I was clever when I noticed the post it notes, the music, the art, and the quill ... but then I found out that not all artists had the drawing as their background so it was very cumbersome to determine who needed to be turned into what specialties.
Overall great game, 4/5 just due to the minor control and performance issues. I look forward to playing more of your titles.

Neat game! The concept works well for the smaller projects, but handling big groups of employees doesn't work very well with the implemented system. I had fun playing!

@ROWKILLA -- "It's a descent enough game with some clever mechanics, some people might get some enjoyment out of it. Descent programming, acceptable art, mediocre sounds.. Wish I could've taken out a loan, jeesh.. Poured 200G's into the best mid-sized game, four employees with full skill-sets, so all I could afford was 'small' marketing, and of course, the game still didn't bring in enough to make another. Have you even played your own game sir? Maybe a better tutorial, or adjust some variables.. because I am definitely missing something?

There should be difficulty levels. Easy has a lot of income and low salaries, medium has medium income and salaries, and hard has low income and high salaries. Some people think this is hard and some think it's easy. These would really help.
Like if you want the developer to see.

Pathfinding is bugged due to it being based on Watercoolers and Refrigerators. Most of my people are stuck at one or the other and won't do their jobs (just like in real life).
If you want to test it, get rid of all your "Needs" items after they all leave, none show up the next day.

I wish you didn't have to halt the entire pregame meeting for one person to get water or a hot dog or something, or at least have them eat at the table. It's pretty annoying when they don't get anywhere for months because it's constantly on halt for someone.

The next Game Corp should have comments that relate to the game you made, more game genres to choose from, fire workers and also games code, art, sound, and story should be based on who you put to work on the games, not predetermined

I would like to amend my previous comment: after reading through some of the other posts, I went back and rearranged the furniture layout in my studio and work started again. What I discovered - and should have realized - is that the tables where the team sits to plan out a game must be placed so that the entire team can sit together. A small team needs two tables side-by-side, a medium team needs five tables side-by-side, etc. If the tables are not arranged so that they can sit together, they will stay at their desks and sleep. Having figured this out allowed me to continue playing - and enjoying - the game. I would like to have the ability to fire workers as needed, but carefully managed this isn't game breaking. Fun overall, but I would suggest making the furniture arrangement needs more clear. Rating increased to 4/5

Bugs!!!!
I really like this game but this is annoying to see workers stuck outside, unable to get in... frustrating. It could be very cool and funny to play this game without those bugs.

I've read the comments and your replies, but simply waiting for games to make money doesn't work. This is intuitive, because in the real world, if you just twiddle your thumbs while paying employees to sleep over games you made five years ago, you will go bankrupt. Just like in the game. Great concept, but it is missing some key elements for it to really make sense and have an outstanding fun factor.

The game go until 19:58... at that hour, the clock freezes and I don't know how to continue...
If it's a bug, I'm using Ubuntu 12.04, in Chrome

Things you should REALLY think about adding: First of all you need to add more building space bacause you only have 2 blocks of space. Second add better graphics!!! it looks like a three year old drew a picture and you decided to make a game of it! Three Everything is way too expensive lower the cost on everything just a little. Four just a thought but I think you should be able to design the cover of the game you made. Five add more stuff to buy I mean honestly all you have is a plant and a damn statue that looks like crap!You should have stuff that gamers would really want in there like a little videogame set or a computer to work on their projects or wires were they work on their project I think these are pretty good ideas. Six five words BETTER GRAPHICS MORE BUILDING SPACE!!!!!Sorry if this made you feel bad I mean its a fun, addicting game but you need to put more and all this is perfect for adding to your fun game so please do, you wont regret it!

it takes awhile. just keep improving your players specialties. use those specialties for certain games. develope many micro games. then begin with small games here and there. try not to hire alot of workers at the beginning. takes a long time till you see millions. just keep at it. i am not certain if you could go bankrupt. my lowest was -30,000.. im at positive 2 million now.
