Also seems like a weird bug happened where I returned to my game several hours later, and when I hit play, it didn't do anything. Didn't make progress on any games in development. Didn't show any sales for launched games. Didn't even deduct rent or employee salaries when the month rolled over. I cleared it by starting another game. 

I just gotta say. Last night, I accidentally spent 4 hours playing this game. I think it's a lot of fun and it seriously has potential. I would make a few suggestions for improvement. 

1. The researching aspect should get paced a little better. Certain things, let's say 3D graphics or basic fluid dynamics, should only become unlockable when a console to support the feature exists. I basically had everything completed for research well before systems came out to support the features. I would suggest pacing it so you can only research certain things when you have access to consoles that can reasonably support those features. 

2. In the team management menu, is there a way you could sort employees into different sections based on their roles in the company? One section for all your artists, another for programmers, another for directors, etc. After about 20 or so employees, it becomes a bit unmanageable to comb through the list of employees to see how many of each role I have. The team skills above does help a little bit, but when employees can have overlapping skill sets, it can be difficult to tell who is contributing to what specifically. After all, almost any major company has a system to split their team into various departments to track them easier. I got to a point where I was actually looking to fire employees who weren't productive enough and finding them wasn't easy. 

3. Kind of related to that. This is a small quality of life thing, but when you do click on an employee in the team management section, is there a way you could have their stats displayed next to their name instead of always at the top of the screen? My company currently has 130 employees, and it gets frustrating having to constantly scroll up and down on the page to see their stats. 

4. Is there a way to implement even faster fast forwarding? With some of the more complex games, it feels like it takes way too long to make them. I think including another fast forward for even faster progression could help. 

Again, I really do like this game. These are just a few things I would suggest to make the game even better. :)

Very interesting concept for a game!

Very interesting idea for a game! I really liked playing this even though I lost.
