Unity Completed Company Man [v2.1.1] [Selectacorp]

[DownTheDrain]

Hello everyone. Yeah, the author of the game has "talent".... to make a game with almost 9 gigabytes in which there is nothing. One stupid grind and 2-4 shots of porn. It feels like the game was conceived as a corporate manager, and that at least some interest was added to the images of famous porn stars. There is no development of the relationship between the main character and the environment, no love line, stupidly enslave everyone and that's it. And that was done frankly shitty. The author needs to look at old text games like CoC ( Part 1. CoC 2 does not consider the puke similarity of part 1 to be a game at all ), where there is more history and development content in 14 kb than there is in 9 gigabytes here. As a corporate manager, it will do. Like a game with porn content about nothing.

Selectacorp games are usually more about the gameplay loop and the power fantasy than the porn.
Of course in 90% of their projects the gameplay loop is a convoluted mess or entirely broken, so this game being mostly playable (with soft locks) is kind of a big step forward.

As for your complaints about lacking relationship developments or romance, that's what Selectacorp does and what their customers expect. All their shit is about misogyny, female inferiority or degradation.
If that's killing your mood you're not part of the target audience.

You can have all of that and a coherent story with good writing, in fact those things make misogyny, female degradation etc all the better.

everytime i load an old save and activate new content it causes the screen to freeze and not allow me to continue

I'd argue that the writing is pretty decent, at least for the genre, and the story is well above average compared to the vast majority of maledom real porn games. Most of the competition reads like some teenager's revenge fanfic, if you can make sense of the broken English at all.

If you don't like the plot or the lack of choice that's a different argument.
Personally, I hate that I'm forced to play pimp more and more the further I progress, but that's more of a design issue than a writing one.

Is there a special way that we are supposed to run this? When I open the Company Man EXE is uses up a ton of memory and has beens stuck on "Not Responding' for minutes. Granted my laptop is older than dirt but don't have issues with other EXE filesE

Not really, i have decent computer and it takes while to load and it goes to NOT RESPODING for minute or two. Older computers might have problems to run this game, sadly.

I would like to write a comment since I see that this game, despite being released for years, is still updated but in my opinion despite some improvements made it still has some obvious defects, I will limit myself to reporting three:
1) too much grind vs too few videos.
2) totally frustrating resource system, 5 different resources: culture, spreadshits, patents, branding and revenues whose acquisition is not always clear and sometimes to get one you have to sacrifice another, added to ego and funds which, as there are no timed missions, and since they can be obtained with downtime they lead to spending a few minutes doing nothing but clicking on it and unfair random chances, as in travel section, that should be removed or made it easyer as 25% in reality become 1/8-10 try.
3) some of the departments (ex. International dep. which in every game I have played remains among the most difficult to control) are not clear how they can be conquered, often leading the player to end up in dead ends which are not always easy to solve.

I find it a shame because the foundations of the game are solid, the story is intriguing and it is one of the few games with a large amount of content (even if unbalanced on the textual part).

Is there a point in reading the diary, since it doesn't have text and all the pages seem to give the exactly same animation and nothing more?

- The last pages of diary are missing by the way and get you stuck.
- Also it would be nice to be able to send the two easy girls from the beginning to the dollhouse or secretary pool instead of selling them to the humpy alley.
- It would also be nice to be able to do something with the sec-pool girls and to be able to send them to dollhouse and vice versa.
- Why is there no option that doesn't include sending the COO away to continue the story? Same with the other girls, there preferably always should be option to send them to dollhouse or sec-pool instead of letting them get away... And get them back if you made that mistake.
- The world map should be button on the UI and not the default starting view, since it gives one extra click for no reason when loading or save-scumming. It is quite empty anyways most of the game.
- Why does the secretary gain pride points after breaking and even 1-2 points stop you being able to bang her? On the loveboat scene, simply because I did the two non-bang options first her pride rise high enough that I wasn't able to do the bang scene anymore, even tho she promised on the breaking not to be such a prude anymore... :/
- Why can't I break and bang all the girls before the other cocks join the scene?
- Why must I pay 20k to a professor I helped to bang the daughter of the wife I got her? On that note, how the hell does he even know it was me who banged her in the first place? Why would she tell him who her first was and if the guy isn't a doctor, how exactly does he even notice the difference and have time to do a study when his goal is to bang some teen chick and frankly what does he even care whether she bleeds on the first time or not? This scene (among others) totally makes no sense.
- The girl you recruit from the "pussy palace" stripclub to dollhouse doesn't have any actions or scenes there.
- It would be nice for the girls who move to another location to retain the option for spycam when you have planted them, to not just make your investment disappear and to retain the way to get fast ego points.
- The four turn timelock is also frustrating and makes no sense in the "search room"-option and "diary", as well as using the purchasing service. How long does it take to fetch a t-shirt in Singapore?
- Allison Clark in Vixen has permanent alert flag on after I bought all the available gifts for Debbie, without any further options available (bug).
- Back-button without time consumption on the Debbies daily tasks would be nice, instead of wasting time on the "do nothing" option. Also the effects (especially the negative trait increases) would be nice to see after the first use.
- I was hoping more of the bring your daughter to the slaughter-day. Why not allow to band&hire all of the daughters in the game?
- The last promotion for Debbie clothes from Vixen are bugged. Their return buttons show directly under Debbies options, instead of in the submenu of the submenu of "Daily tasks".
- Generally I think it would be nicer to be able to enable and disable the clothes dress by dress than simply return the whole set. Also seeing what you are actually disabling would be nice.

You can always use text editor or CheatEngine to get more money and other stuff.

I generally can't live without CE anymore exactly because it is instant cure for "too much boring grinding" in most games.

Carole Fontaine-Tyson in HR always gets stuck for me at 2 Ambition remaining, and I can't find anything to reduce it. Anyone have a solution? 've taken over Consulting, Compliance, Planning, Purchasing, International, Legal, Marketing, Technology and Research. I'm a member of the Metropolitan Club etc, but I can't finish HR!

I assume this is holding me up elsewhere, as I have Noriko in finance at 0 ambition but can't progress, and Cynthia in sales is at 0 ambition but I can't progress.

I've seen all the movies in the cinema house, and all the food in the Golden Palace in case either had something that could reduce her ambition by a few points, and I have over 450 power.

I also have a permanent "!" over Vixxxens, and when I go into the location the "!" is on Allison, but when I talk to her there is nothing there.

If anyone has any tips, I'd appreciate it. Thanks.

Found a potential solution for any Mac users that may be having issue creating a save game/starting the game for the first time. I'm pasting the post from the selectacorp message board below, and can confirm that by moving the game app to my user folder on the boot drive, and executing the command, that I was able to play the game properly on mac on my personal machine. Personally I think that the problem may have more to do with file permissions than the "quarantine" function in Mac OS for downloaded apps, but in any case, I do have it working now.

Didn't see this elsewhere in the thread, so I apologize if this is duplicate info.

Company Man - Mac Version: Download + Workaround Instructions
10-18-2022, 05:17 AM

OK, I'm sorry this took so long to get to you all.

Why Mac had issues:

For those who are curious, the reason why the Mac builds never worked is because, since we were an unknown, zipped application being downloaded from the web, Apple didn't trust is. So when you unzipped the app they silently put a quarantine program on the game, preventing it from reading/writing files. Normally this wouldn't matter except that we read/write files when we save and load games. (We only read/write files from within the application obviously, we don't look at anything outside the main game folder.)

This inability to properly save/load caused the cascading issues which you are all familiar with.

The Workaround:

1. First, download the game as usual and extract it to your Documents Folder:
   You must be registered to see the links
2. Make sure to name it "Game.app"
3. Open a Terminal window (instructions for those who don't know:
   You must be registered to see the links
   )
4. In the Terminal go to your Documents folder. To do this type cd /Users/{yourusername}/Documents and hit Enter
   • So I would type cd /Users/AdmiralThrawn/Documents
   • If your username has a space in it you may need to include quotation marks around "/Users/Admiral Thrawn/Documents"
5. Now type this command to remove the quarantine from the game: xattr -r -d com.apple.quarantine Game.app

With luck, this should solve your problems. We've tested with some people and it has worked for them. However, if you run into trouble or if some of the instructions are unclear, I'll be around to provide assistance.

Thanks again for your patience, and sorry for how long this took to figure out.

-Thrawn

Open your save file from "Company Man v1.8.1 WIN\Company Man_Data\StreamingAssets\Saves" on Notepad++ and search ""Ambition":2.0" and change it to "0.0". You can probably find just one, but if there are more than one, then compare the ""Pride":X.0" value the person has to the values in the save. Then just save the file on N++ and load it on the game.

I also have a permanent "!" over Vixxxens, and when I go into the location the "!" is on Allison, but when I talk to her there is nothing there.

Same problem. It's a bug and can't do anything about it before it is fixed, so just check the place at times and don't bother about it.

How to get Artemis IPO? I am suck, could use any help.

Cheating is always a way but it would be better if game devs think on a sustainable resource system, for example in this game you can add a fixed weekly income for resource once you gain control of the respective department, this should be easy to code and it would greatly improve playability.

is there any mtf content or simillar?
