The fact that you can no longer develop a sequel of a game you developed previously if the score of the latest installment you made is less than 32 points really annoys some players as it punishes Sequelitis, sometimes unintentionally.

This was later patched so you can get longer titles onward. It's rather harmless at first, but becomes annoying if you want longer titles.

Prior an update, you cannot input any name beyond the 14 character limit.

This bug existed in every build of the game and hasn't been patched since, so abuse it to your hearts content! The solution? You can simply cancel out then redo the development progress again to make it so that the game treats it as if you never choose them in the first place. Good Bad Bugs: Whenever you get to develop a new game and you had to choose which one gets to write scenario/design the graphics/make soundtrack of, using the same writer/graphic designer/sound engineer will slowly fatigue them and get less progression points from doing so in repeat attempt.

Suddenly getting perfect scores are not much of a sweat. points you spend for activating it once is piddly small for what you going to get in return. points to motivate up to 3 employees and rack up to hundreds of progression points. Once you have yourself employees with high stat and stamina pool, you can spend a measly 30 dev. The ever-so-humble Self-Help Book you can get as early as the first merchant visit is a powerful Magikarp Power in the right hands.Not bad for basically the first secret unit and supposedly the weakest. He's also one of the cheapest late game viable unit you can train and even comparable to some late game recruits, ensuring a good return investment. Sure that his base statline is low, but with the abusible training and leveling up mechanics he can easily reach hundreds with enough resource and save scumming to get super parameter increase.

He's one of the best employees you can get as early as the first time you move on to the Studio 2 and develop a game there and he has the largest stamina pool available so far, where most of the other employees won't have his amount. Mix that with some training and you've got a (very expensive) Game Breaker character that's better than the most expensive 'specialists' you can hire. If you start them as a Level 1 coder with average stats, you'll have leveled them up 19 times by the time they can become a hardware developer.

Whichever character you make into a Hardware Developer.

Making your own game console can be this as well since you'll likely have a decent percent of the market, no real licensing costs to speak of, and unlike non-player consoles, your console can actually gain market share and provide you with a trickle flow of cash.

Anything RPG, Sim or Life related is pretty much guaranteed to work. Certain genres of games will match almost any theme.
