[ENG] Legendary Mode Tutorial [Update: 2016/05/14]

Overview

HEY! YOU!Got problems in legendary difficulty? Read this guide and be enlightened.

Foreword

– Hirelings will take a lot of “Vacation”-Time (Yawning, making pauses/running around)
– A LOT! And mostly then when you need them the most!
– Workload is something you have to pay attention to.
– Below 8 Weeks, Workloads of 1.000 and more, with 2 People will fail
– Your Games suck! Really, even if you use Cheat-Sheets. Why you play a game anyway when you plan to cheat? Figure stuff out on your own, thats part of the challenge.
– I present you just one of multiple ways to get through Legendary
– “I have a better Idea!” Fine, test it. Have fun with it. There are a couple ways to beat legendary. For most you need knowledge and a bit of luck.

Your Character

– Put all your Points into Speed
– Speed is crucial!
– Everything else you get through Contract works, Games, Research and Training

Contract-Works have a broad variety, you cant rely just on programming, because, what if someone wants to have graphical improvements? Guess what, you suck at that! Or what about some music? You suck at this also! But put all your points into Speed you will quick and doing contract works very quick will help you more than anything else.

Contract Works & Workloads

Time & Workload

If you look at the maximum time you have for a contract you see a lot of numbers in a broad variety. Pay attention to those, especially when the game-years passed by already a few times. Because it is nearly impossible for your starter-character to beat Workloads of 1.000 and more in Weeks below 8.

10 Weeks for a workload of 1.000+ is crucial. If you fail, you loose money and in the beginning you need every penny.

Knock knock!
Who’s there?
Tax Authority!
Who?
Tax Authority declaring you bankrupt!

Unlock Research

Guess what: Your first game will suck! Really bad! Dont expect anything above 15%. If you use cheat-sheets and/or are already extremely familiar with the game… Why are you reading this guide? You dont need it.

But well, without a game you wont have the research-room and the research-room is a crucial part of the “beat legendary mode”-strategy.

Researching & Engines

[If you want a Picture, you have to buy the DLC “Guide-Pictures” or buy the Premium-Pack.]
– JK! I will add pictures when i am done being a lazy ♥♥♥♥.

RESEARCH!
– Yes! Do it! Dont you dare to research something else except those Features!
– Get them as soon they are available. Dont be an Idiot and do a 50k Dollar Research when you have 40k Dollars because the Guide told you to do it! Be logical! I cant think for you!

Engines!

Yes, Engines! The plural. Dont jump around on 1 engine and suppose the whole world will kiss your feets. MGT wants you to make for every genre a engine that is specialiced for that genre! You have read it correctly!

Start off with arcade
– Sell it for a buck! Or zero, make it a present to all developers!
– Start with 10% Profit share

Research another genre
– Take either the cheapest one or the one you like. Depends on how much money you make/have
– Make a engine for that genre
– Sell it and keep the profit share on every engine the same

Dont forget to keep all your engines up to date! That means that you have to do all the researches and improve your engine(s). Money will be no problem anymore as soon you have two engines out and keep them the best ones.

If you do a graphical update (4 color, 16 colors and so on) you can put the profit-share 5% higher. At the end 30% will be more than enough because you have for every genre a engine. And NPC-Developer uses yours! Promise! You will have to disable the engine revenue at this point else you have a Stop n’ Go Game.

I make quickly 100 Millions in a couple of Minutes, now i throw out games to make more money (Last game was 99%) and working towards all the achievements. If you beat legendary this way, with this guide, try new ways :3 Make it harder with own challenges.
