This is awesome.

I run a weapon game design simulation, and 2 of my players aren't posting anything, what should their companies do?
Basically they need to decide if they want to improve designs or ship them as is and if they they want to apply for a contractest.
CheckerCon innovations prize: 1 winner, has to appeal to checker players.
Boys Magazine's top 3: 3 ranked winners, no cash prize, but additional publicity.
Essen wahl: 1 winner, has to appeal to big eater's.

Make checker type game.
Research in handheld consoles.
results:
4000C
You made a checkers type game. Everyone seems to love it, until you realise it's just checkers sideways. Oops?
Do you want to try to change game(risking making it less fun) for 1000C or ship it as is and hope no one notices (it is sideways)?

You are 20 years ahead of your time! It seems one of the designers has a friend interested in micro-computers and they agreed to design a fully working handheld gaming system for 10000C. (This is seriously unheard of, you rolled very well, I don't think anyone else will have one of these until they have a bunch more prerequisites)

Spoiler:  "Headshot games" (click to show/hide)

Create a game using chess pieces and black and white circles. You move the circles around a board trying to take one full set of chess pieces. First player to do so wins!
results:
5000C
You design a really good game, all the beta testers seem to like it, and especially praise the part where you move the circles.

kind of a no-brainer with this one, I guess...

Have Nopuns go for the handheld system, you can't turn down an offer of a unique, rare, upgrade ahead of it's time.

Send the Headshot as-is, looks good to me.

They don't have the money Should they take out a loan at 20% APR? Also, they will only be able to design a game based on this next turn.

The advanced system should earn them more than enough money to cover the pay-back, even with a lost turn.

Nopuns: Get the loan and get that handheld!

Headshot: Release the game, maybe after recoloring white and black to red and green/orange and blue. Also, put out corporate-espionage feelers.

I would recommend changing sideways-checkers, Maybe have a mechanic where pieces can 'fall' towards the player, so that if you want to remove a piece, you need to chase it down and make it fall off the edge...

Ooh, I like this idea.

I have a game called The Islands of Misery[/i], where one player is playing a scholar who is hiding behind a boulder. He can see a couple people looting the bodies of a person he killed and a person the corpse killed, as well as a woman who is trying to climb up the building towards a monkey. What will he do?

Engage courtship mode.
...violently.

[GreatWyrmGold]

Engage courtship mode.

Which game and who to court?

[Remuthra]

I did not know there was a second one in progress. Islands of Misery and Doesn't Really Matter.

[Ultimuh]

Keeping an eye on this.
Because who would not want to pass up on the oppurtunity, to meddle in the fate of missing player's characters. :p
