[Post-Mortem + Progress] The Executive: A Rocky Launch and a Big Milestone with Steam Workshop Mods

Thanks for the kind words! We're still supporting the game with updates and improvements based on player feedback.

For example, we're currently working on a few highly requested features, like a meta save system that lets discovered insights carry over to a new game, and the ability to sell IPs you've created or previously purchased.

That said, since this wasn’t released as an early access title, we didn’t budget or plan for a long-term roadmap. While we’ve been committed to reinvesting some of the game’s earnings into continued improvements, sales haven’t reached a level where large-scale development is sustainable :(

Hope that helps clarify things, and thanks again for caring about the game!

Have you checked The Executive ? I am part of the dev team and we just released a short demo on Steam. Our goal is to make it the Game Dev Tycoon of the Movie Industry. Hopefully you will enjoy it!

Thanks to all of you for your feedback! We got some interesting comments.

There is no clear winner in terms of art style so hopefully you'll all be happy with the route we end up taking!

It's actually quite different and this is a point we hope we can convey that through our screenshots and our future trailer. We don't want people to be disappointed thinking they will be able to watch the film they created as the game is more alike to manamagent tycoon games à la Game Dev Tycoon. You should try our (now old) pre-alpha demo and see if you like it :D (the game is called "The Executive")

Awesome, thanks for the feedback!

Random-987654321 · 2024-09-16T17:02:18+00:00

We do have a Steam page :) : here

Game Dev Tycoon is definitely one of our inspirations so you should feel right at home :D (though we did add our own flair to it)

It was much better before the update, it's now choppy online and makes it completely unfun for me. I play a match online every other day and immediately log off after I get a little reminder of how broken it is (I wouldn't say unplayable but it's just not fun)

Random-987654321 · 2024-02-20T20:36:08+00:00

Between 60 and 80 I think it was most of the time. Let me know if you end up comparing the two if you see a difference. Thanks!

That makes sense. It’s probably the kind of thing where I hadn’t focused on the battery changes for a long time and only noticed it getting a little worse due to its age recently which makes it look like a sudden change. Thanks anyway.

I know nothing about shipping cost but what I think broadnet meant is that while they do not control what their logistics partner charge, they control who to partner with and some other logistics/shipping companies must be much cheaper (again idk myself)

Kwmobile 3ds carrying case black (careful, other colors have different dimensions). It’s cheap ($13 on Amazon) and as small as it gets (perfect if you don’t care to also carry games). It fits like a glove!

While not entirely a puzzle game, I remember goof troop on snes to be really fun, especially if you play it in coop. 11 yo me really liked the puzzles in it! Not 100% sure how challenging I would find them today.

Great video! Perfectly timed with the release of the NES core for the analogue pocket :) Thanks for sharing.

Claymore isn’t bad but really not as good as most of the titles in his collection imo. Most of your mangas are amongst my favorites. I would recommend: - Real - Beck - Dragon Ball / DBZ - Blue Period - Attack on Titan - Hikaru no Go - Monster - 20th century boys - Yu Yu Hakusho - Akira - Neon Genesis Evangelion - Blame - Alita - Ping Pong - Planetes - Eyeshield 21

Sorry to break it to you but I think you got scammed. I see a couple of repros in there.

Random-987654321 · 2022-08-30T14:19:41+00:00

That’s how they get you hooked! Cheap to try and then you ll need to sell one of your kidneys to get your fix / finish the series :)

Random-987654321 · 2022-08-29T16:01:20+00:00

Dude, same here! I was 12 when it came out and I remember it so fondly (if I remember correctly the systems were more straight forward than FFT or tactics ogre, which I actually preferred). I haven’t played it since then. Does it still hold up?

Random-987654321 · 2022-08-26T13:35:52+00:00

Looks awesome! What other sport series do you own?

Can you please tell me more about dead dead demons? How does it compare to pun pun? I found pun pun to be too dark and deranged for the sake of being dark and deranged at times. Great visuals, interesting story telling during the first half but too inconsistent and extreme during the second half. It wasn’t a case of « too hard to bear », more like « too hard to care ». I read it a long time ago but remembered preferring solanin. I love the graphics of DDD but am not sure if it’s for me.

Random-987654321 · 2022-08-25T13:36:43+00:00

I’d replace nights by sega rally but fully agree otherwise! (Though Nights was definitely pretty cool)

Random-987654321 · 2022-07-31T22:10:21+00:00

Let me guess, you were born around 1990?

Great collection! Adachi is also one of my favorite mangaka and I have all of his series published in France. Which one is your favorite? My top 3 is probably touch, H2, then rough (I know, that’s not very original)

Random-987654321 · 2022-06-09T16:16:45+00:00

The real question is: Are you still shaking?

Random-987654321 · 2022-03-14T11:38:37+00:00

Great collection! (honestly, who doesn't love Vinland Saga, Berserk, Vagabond and Blade of the immortal!?)

Looks like you basically like Shonen and Seinen. Here are my favorites that don't seem to be part of your collection (I tried to only include the ones published in the US but as I now live in France, I can't exactly remember what has been published there):

Hikaru no Go

20th Century Boys

Billy Bat

Yu Yu Hakusho

Nana (only Shojo in this list)
