Inspired by the Create games that have spawned recently, I decided to tackle a subject that I know very, very well. Ladies and gentlemen, this is Create a Video Game Company!
But first, some...
Ground Rules
Just like with Create a Label and Create a TV Channel, the idea is that you get a set amount of coins and then bid in auctions to gain items for your company.
Unlike with those other games, you're not bidding for a single entity, but an entire FRANCHISE of games (unless there was only one game in a certain franchise...in which case, you are bidding for a single entity). That means that, when Mario pops up, you're not bidding for, say, Super Mario World or New Super Mario Bros. You're bidding for the ENTIRE Mario franchise of games. (Note: I am differentiating Mario Kart, Mario Party, etc. as being separate franchises due to the vast difference in core games.)
Unless I get a co-host that can do auctions at times when I'm not available, there's a good chance that there will be some down time. I can't promise you that this game will go on 24/7. What I CAN promise you is that I will put as much effort as possible into ensuring that you have the time of your life while playing this game. I can also promise that, when I'm around, there will be at least an hour to bid on each franchise, and that I will try to save the best franchises for universally acceptable times (3pm Eastern, 4pm Eastern, whichever time fits all of your schedules). Please let me know what the best times for you would be.
You will all receive 125 game dollars when you create your company. You will use this money, at the start, to bid on franchises, but, eventually, you will be able to use this money to promote your game (on a web site, or in a magazine, or, if you're feeling particularly bold, with a corporation such as McDonald's) or even to improve the game in an area where it needs to improve.
You have the option of donating some of your dollars to another company (up to 25), and you may also have the option of buying shows from other companies for a price or trading franchises with other companies.
As with the previous "Create" games, there will also be Bonus Rounds where you will have the ability to gain dollars for your company. There will also be special Bonus Rounds where your prize is much greater. These will be announced in advance, so that everyone has an equal chance to gain these prizes.
Oh, and up to 20 companies will be able to participate, so make sure to sign up early!
