In Game Dev Story, sales are boosted when you develop a game with a great Genre/Type combination.

What combinations are considered great? In other words, which ones result in the game informing you that the combination will impact sales in a positive manner?

    I think Game Dev Story was written just to confuse those of us who read gaming.stackexchange.com and gamedev.stackexchange.com!

  • I was about to come and angrily vote to close. I'm trying hard to incorporate birds into the post, but that would be jumping too far. As for doodle, I just can't do it.

  • I have no objection to you making your answers CW, but I would suggest you not start answers out as CW. There have been a number of times I've written answers and made them CW, only to be the sole contributor.

  • +1: Remember, the popularity of the combinations still depend on the randomly assigned "Popularity Rating" so if you make a game from a good (but unpopular) combination you're not going to sell well.

  • @tzenes: That's a good point. I suppose I can always just make things CW in the future either by triggering the edit threshold or marking them when I see tons of comments about alterations.

  • @tzenes: CW-ifying an answer also enables low-rep users to make edits, which is good if you want to encourage collaboration.
