I guarantee that this is not an exhaustive list, but it's a start. Feel free to edit if you find any more bonuses to add.

New Topic - Create a game using a topic you haven't used previously

New Combo - Create a game using a topic/ genre combo you haven't used previously

Great Combo - Create a game with a topic/ genre combo that is "great" (common sense combinations like Fantasy/RPG)

Trend Match - Create a game that matches the random "market trend" event. These suggest you to develop a game that meets a certain criterion (genre, topic, audience, etc.)

Good Management - When you are developing a medium or large project (by yourself or with the help of a publisher), you have to assign employees to different parts of the game (engine, AI, graphics, etc). If you don't push any employees beyond 100% effort, you will earn this bonus.
