In Game Dev Story the number of people is limited by the size of your office, so in the beginning you can only employ 4 people. At some point I was asked if I wanted to move into a bigger office and I'm now wondering what triggers it.

So, what do I have to do to get a bigger office?

I'm now pretty sure that you get the 3rd office after you win 3 awards for your games. It was triggered for me immediately after the awards ceremony.

  • I'm not sure about this, I don't remember either office offer happening after game awards or other events.

  • I too got it right after an awards ceremony, except I had way over three awards by that time

  • Just to clarify, it's not any 3 awards, but 3 Best Game awards.

I didn't pay attention on my first play-through, but on my second play-through, I noticed the following:

  • Y3, M12, W3, I was offered the 2nd office for 6.5k. It allows for 6 employees.
  • T10, M12, W3, I was offered the 3rd office for 25k. It allows for 8 employees.

    It might be money related... I got the 3rd office well before Y10

I'm pretty sure it's money related...Usually I hit the second office in the second or third year, and the third office between the seventh and eighth. I'm pretty sure its the "overall" amount of money you've made, because I've been in situations where I didn't notice the payment, and where the payment has demanded serious sacrifice.
