Love the update, just a few suggestions (not sure what you have planned already of this).
I think the time to make bigger games feels too long, and the ability to research is too short. The nintendo is out and I already have everything researched, just feels a bit early, but I also start a medium sized game and it takes 10 minutes in real time with fastforward on to complete, maybe a faster fastforward could solve this?
Hiring good employees is tedious with no downside for just hiring and firing until you find someone with good stats. It's also not very hard to not need to care about money after one game that you just dump all your money into advertising for.
I think having the notifications pop up instead of needing to click to see when a console comes out would also be effective.
I think it'd be cool if research additions also gave unique bonuses for using them, maybe you can research certain engine tools that will make certain additions take less time to implement.
Overall, I like the changes and look forward to what you have in store.
