I've made some research myself and think about sharing it. I will keep uploading some when i got free time after work.

UPDATE 08 MARCH 2019 : Due to surprisingly overwhelming amount of real life work i do have, i can't keep up with this guide. Feel free to continue my work on another guide; and i was very happy to help some of you. Take care!

Tips and Tricks
1. Mitigate Team Level ( Design, Developpement, Polish )

2. Do not buy early others company, you can stole them worker, the goal is to stole the worker with the maximum potential ( The max stars he can have, not what he do have at the time you're watching it.)

3. Only 1 worker is required to cross-platform game, so a good idea is to have 1 up to 15 additionnal studio with only one worker in to Cross-platform at maximum and earn the best money.

4. The % efficiency from items are stackable. For a studio designed for a "Big" Games ( 10Desk ) i put 15 desk and the entire room is stacked up with print & coffee machine wich able me to reach 400-600% efficiency.

5. Always perform Post-Mortem task, it is with that task you will be able to see what score is required in each part of a game type.

6. Check your game history Often, a big game score will attract more people if you do a sequel some years after, with a bigger studio or a bigger engine.

7. In Normal ++ if you know the RPG spec, do not release RPG over RPG over RPG, people will get bored and even with perfect stat the game won't be good.

8. The Upcost of Online Server is very High, be carrefull if you are planning to do it.

9. When you purchase a company, you purchase All the fan, All the Worker, All the building ( You can sell them for between 20Million to 250 Million )

10. Always go bigger team than required for a team. Ex : Big Game require 10 worker, i use 15, AAA require 25, i use up to 60, etc etc.

11. When discovering a game with Post-Mortem Task, use the Indie game team, its faster, and remember, indie can be done alone, so if you follow my advice and have 5+ cross-platform solo studio, you can do 6 Indie Game in one time, wich mean you will discover 100% of the score required for that game type.

12. Use and Abuse Marketing only if your game is above 75. This will make you rich in no times.

Conclusion
As a developper of the game said some days ago, there is 2 way to experience this game.

1. Casually playing it for fun wich i call RNG.
2. Nerdly calculate everythings wich i call TryHard.

Choose your way, this guide with will updated every day or two day as a try harder. I just scratch the insane amount of work i will have to put to get the correct math for every aspect of the games. But it is my way to having fun.

I am Head of Security in a society and Bouncer the week-end.. I work at Night, Day, Morning, it changes every week so excuse me if there is no regular update, but they will be updated since this game give me something i'm looking for : A goal to follow in video game.

I hope theese information will help you, i will compile, edit, make them all cleaner and nicer when the times come.

My expectation is that by the end of March this guide will be complete.

Can you describe how to do solo studios on cross-platforms?

max efficiency right now is capped at 200%, but spamming coffee and printer still boosts the speed

the values that are listed here are correct as far as i can tell - i tried some a couple days ago. but some of the genres don't exist anymore. the other guide isn't up to date either but it is more or less complete

other stuff: if you know a theme genre match and/or its a sequel, you get prepod points in all phases and in the des.phase too
and i think the 90-100 score points range is really sensitive, small things can hurt it
camatonos was a test i did where i didnt sent them on holidays by my self, instead they decided it, on went on holiday when they were out of energy, so holidays can really mess up youre score.

i think i got the perfect slider setting for rpg
info: studio 70 devs all full stars, +600% prod
before you develop sent them on holiday
near the end of des-phase sent them on holiday again, perhaps you need to push the sliders in des-phase a bit to get 5 free weeks in this phase so they can work full on the next 2 phases. additional if you know the points they get in des.-phase you can cheese the next phases too with holidays if they get over the calculated points in dev and pol phases
the game erehida, i pushed the desphase a bit too much, so they worked on it again after holidays....
