Development team size

[suksas]

What is advisable size to development team per game in later game?

I don't think there's a real answer, but I go with at minimum 20+

For the moment, i go bigger and bigger each time i move to a new office, i came up to 30/35 max. And i had also a quality control team of the same size. I found for quality control that if you want a "perferct" game you have to engage as many employees as for development.

It's been a while since I've achieved the late game because I haven't been playing as much. I think the answer probably depends on your difficulty setting and your own level of patience. I prefer small studios, so on Normal difficulty, I usually aim for a Dev team of about 3 people in the first building (space limitations), 5 for the next building after that, and then I go for about 10 - 15 as the building and game sizes increase. Note, that doesn't include the number of people that I use to support my dev team by doing bug fixes, game balances, research, marketing, and customer support.
