Some notes for GrandPrize route:
* Not 4, but 5 Career Manuals are needed, so Max Torque is the second person who can be trained to hacker (George Marlin is still more preferable due to stats)
* When you hire Max Torque or George Marlin, you'll have around 400 Research Data. Use it to level up them to lvl 5 Coder + Writer + Snd Eng + Designer + Initial Career. Best moment is right after salary at Y3 M3 W4

Tricks and Glitches

**Hiring reroll**
Save the game manually after starting the employee search (best timing is the same week for Office 1 and next week for Office 2 or 3). If you don't like the set of candidates offered, close the game (through the menu or close the application in system, exit through the "Home" button will not work!), launch the game again and load your save, the set of candidates will change.
Where can be used:
* Searching Directors/Producers in Office 1
* Searching George Marlin and Max Torque in Office 2
* Searching Hackers in Office 3

There is a chance that saveload might reload other RNG-based things. As per performed tests:
* Stats for Scenario, Graphics and Soundtrack can be slightly changed. Don't expect 60+ stats from Office 1 Writer, but if Hacker made ~ 8 stats OST, you can give a try
* Game Award results are not affected. You will have same awards for same games
* Skipping random events. We've turned one released game from 8.75/10 to 9.75/10 by saveloading during the marathon and dodging "equipment failure" event! Obviously, this doesn't work with all events. If you are not making new games for a while, don't expect fans not getting upset
**Rehiring glitch**
Normally you are not able to hire new employee if you don't have enough money. But if you already have full staff (4/6/8 persons for Office 1/2/3), you will have a screen to choose who you want to fire and you will hire required employee. You balance is going negative.
* Useful for hiring in Office 2/3 to replace Office 1 employees
* Be careful! There is no bankruptcy mechanic, but you will have to work on contracts only to get out of negative balance. Normally, for Office 2 and 3 games production brings much more money so use this glitch to hire "one more person"
**Removing "Prev." sign**
If you are using the same employees for scenario/art/ost, they are getting "Prev." sign, starting complaining with "another soundtrack?" phrases and their performance becomes lower in average. But there is an option to remove that sign for every new game development:
* Go through new game (or sequel) menu as usual till the screen when you have to choose a screenwriter
* Press back
* Go through menu once again. 
* Now nobody will have "Prev." sign and any negative effect for all the development milestones including art and ost
