You may only release ONE game in your first Season. You may only release ONE game in your second Season IF you advertised said game in the first season.
There are NO exact dates, because the only two guarantees are that a Season is a period of 3 months and that the "first come, first serve" posting order allows unlimited posts, so we need to assume that all posts on a given real day took place before the end of the last month in a Season, And please remember, stick to the technology of the time!
Now, Orange Otter Studios and Deitarius Wall Development get 5,500,000 to release consoles!

It is the year 1985. New Coke is terrible, Reagan is the President, and the video game industry is 20 years old!
Home computing is finally a reality, and PCs and Arcade cabinets are highly successful gaming platforms.
On top of all this is Goliath Games, who have just recently released a new console...
Presenting the GameTron!
Featuring astounding 8-bit graphics, two controller ports, a bundled 4-directional d-pad controller and a ROM cartridge game loading system, the GameTron is the future of the video games! Now available in stores!
Buyers of the GameTron have discovered a pleasant surprise upon opening the console's packaging... It comes with a free Demo Cartridge! The Demo Cartridge has a free trivia game on it to keep kids busy until more games arrive for the platform.
But rumors are about that two competing consoles are on their way... Perhaps Goliath is about to meet its David?

It is the year 2050. Mankind is running low on land thanks to increasing urbanization and agriculture combined with the needs to sustain the environment. So we turn to the sea...
In Aquatopia, you are in charge of the underfunded Canadian Oceanic Colonization project (or the Mexican equivalent in the spanish translations). Your job is to colonize an area of the sea floor, dealing with food, desalinated water, air, electricity, money, public support and government support, all while building up the colony.
The goal is to get the highest peak amount of cash over your entire game, which is outputted as your high score when you inevitably fail; the game is very much a survival run. The game will have a range of difficulty settings, but high score tables are separate for each run. Achievements will be included in this game as well, with a full 50 different ones to unlock!
Features
*Mine resources for extra cash!
*Unlock advanced buildings like geothermal power plants, submarine hotels and underwater superhighways!
*Random events! Find a sunken ship? Make it a tourist attraction for continuous cash flow, sell it to a museum for a modest amount of money and an increase in public support, or sell the salvaged artifacts on the black market for big bucks at the cost of public support! And watch out for undersea volcanos, landslides and earthquakes! You may even find a lost underwater city...
More details on Aquatopia will follow soon.
