That's a lucky draw to start with a rare Developer. That will help your game rankings a bit, I think. I'm stuck in 3.7/10 range, which usually results in 30% losses on the development of each titles (2 completed titles, when in payout now, but looking to lose money again). It takes forever to level up developers, so I'm at a loss what to do next unless I want to try for a rare Developer.
