====Understanding the levels====
There are 11 levels, each represented by a half star, starting from 0 stars. To achieve the next level, the studio must attain a certain amount of points, see table below. Unfortunately, there's no way to check the exact amount of points in-game.

====How To Generate Points====
There are several ways to get points:
*Receiving an award
*Completing a contract work
*Releasing a console
*Releasing a game
=====Award and Contract work=====
Awards and contract work give a fixed point amount, see table below.
Award and Contract points
Source 	Points
Any contract work 	1
Best Sound Award 	40
Best Graphics Award 	40
Best Game Award 	75
Best Studio Award 	100
Best Publisher Award	100
=====Console=====
Releasing a console awards 5 times the achieved console rating, rounding to the closest integer and to the closest even in case of a split (.5)
E.G. If your console scores 8.7 out of 10, you will receive 8.7 * 5 = 43.5, which will round to 44.
=====Game Release=====
Releasing a game is the best source of points, but not all games are created equal. The amount of points awarded is based on the game type and the review score it achieves.
Base point by game type
Type 	Points
New Game/ Sequel / Spinoff 	1
Remaster 	0.5
Port 	0.2
Publishing Offer 	0.2
Addon / Standalone Addon / MMO Addon 	0.1
Budget / Bundle / Bundle Addon / GOTY	0.05
The above base point is then multiplied by a review weight.
Review Weights
Review 	Weight	Review 	Weight
0 to 9 	1 	60 to 69	10
10 to 19	1 	70 to 79	12
20 to 29	2 	80 to 89	15
30 to 39	4 	90 to 94	18
40 to 49	6 	95 to 99	25
50 to 59	8 	100 	50
Studio Points awarded for games per game type, per review score
Review Score	New Game	Remaster	Addon	Budget	Port	Publishing Offer
0 to 9 	1 	0 	0 	0 	0 	0
10 to 19 	2 	1 	0 	0 	0 	0
20 to 29 	4 	2 	0 	0 	1 	1
30 to 39 	8 	4 	1 	0 	2 	2
40 to 49 	14 	7 	1 	1 	3 	3
50 to 59 	22 	11 	2 	1 	4 	4
60 to 69 	32 	16 	3 	2 	6 	6
70 to 79 	44 	22 	4 	2 	9 	9
80 to 89 	59 	30 	6 	3 	12 	12
90 to 94 	77 	38 	8 	4 	15 	15
95 to 99 	102 	51 	10 	5 	20 	20
100 	152 	76 	15 	8 	30 	30
The above table show the total points awarded for a given game type when achieving a certain score. Each cell value is the result of the review weight multiplied by the game type base points, plus a sum of all the cells before it, rounded to the nearest integer, and nearest even on a split (0.5).
(ReviewWeight + BasePoints) + PreviousTierPoints
E.G. A new game has a base value of 1, a 10 to 19 review has a weight of 1, so: (1 * 1) + 1 = 2
