What game is the pic from?
What game is the pic from?
thanks works perfectlySince I see so many people kicking themselves for not enabling cheat mode when starting a game and then getting stuck or bankrupted, I guess I should tell ya'll you can actually enable/disable cheat mode at any time.
It's as simple as opening your save in notepad++, searching for cheat and then changing the "null" it shows after cheat_mode between the @@ to 1.
And on this forum, almost everybody cheat cause game is too grindy, I think dev doesnt really focus on the main issue right now.Ideally, all ways of making money should be viable IF you specialize into them.
To be fair, i'm playing this game for quite a while, and the balance change a LOT of times. For exemple consistency came on the last update. Before that photo studio was really too strong, and websites got buffed on the last couple updates. The dev took a break so obviously the problem stayed for a while, but he always adress those problems on updates. The goal of making the late game more satisfying is planned for a while. It's just a type of game which you play for 20 or 30h per save, not for quick fap.To be honest, when I read that, I have the feeling dev is talking about a total different game.
I understand the fact he want to dev rival companies and it could be a good idea. I like the idea of having different ways to play it.
But I think this game would be unbalance for a LONG time if dev just focus on developping new features and not to fix balance. I understand you balance your game at the end, but when I read :

If you want your game works with a lot of features, it should work with less features first.
But I like the ambition of dev for his game and it could be a really good management game when finished !!!
I don't think the game is that grindy. but I do agree that balance changes are required.And on this forum, almost everybody cheat cause game is too grindy, I think dev doesnt really focus on the main issue right now.

Photostudio is bonkers. Imho the most profitable venue (relative to the investment)I think its pretty well balanc between camgirl, sites, carwash (dont know for photostudio).
This is a bug and it applies to all agency models. I believe there is a cancellation fee, like with rival girls, but the game fails to display it.And I found what I think is a bug. When you make a contract with a guy, contract cost... 3 times whats written. Maybe more. I play on easy diffculty and I took no mods at beginning
I mean thats the part that make you play more and more at the game, trying to find some "perfect" models. For me thats the main thing to do during "mid game", or its just so boring to just plan scenes again and again every week.3) What is unnecessarily grindy is looking for models. No way to add stats past the potential level and no way to add or remove traits. Basically if a model spawns without good traits - it's useless. With bad traits? Useless. With low potential and poor stat? Useless again. Keep rolling the dice. You need a petite model? Try again. Oh and you might lose this characteristic after surgery - which only adds up to 20 beauty anyway, so if the model is ugly to begin with? Yea, try again.
I understand that it would completely change the game, but then again, some even expensive and/or rarely available options would be welcome.
Oh, and contracts that should give extra stats and traits don't give those rewards (at least, photoshoots don't).
I mean, there is Talent Search and you can throw parties - both helping you find some high quality models that vaguely fit your requirements. Vaguely, that's the problem. Also, for the "play more and more" - it's kinda pointless. Just let me train the girls properly!I totally agree with what you wrote, except this :

Just one feature is missing : the way to pay a lot of money to find a perfect girl. You would need to pay a headhunter, looking for specific stats (potential > 90, that kind of traits, this part of the world,...) and after few weeks, he would come back with the girl that fit.
Im still comparing it to "Free Cities" game (play it if you didnt and if you like the gameplay of Porn Empire ; its just a text based game, but maybe the best management game here). In Free Cities at the end, you could pay a lot of money to find the girl who fit your taste.
The only problem is, its grindy to find girls cause of lvl 3 of fame when rivals steal yours.
And about other issue (taxes, contracts,...) I think its pretty simple to fix in first time to make game more playable then dev could focus to add more features !!!
1) it should be based on profit, not income. i've changed that some time ago(pretty sure based on your feedback).I don't think the game is that grindy. but I do agree that balance changes are required.
Imho three main problems are
1) Taxes - calculated based on your income, not profit; not only is it not realistic and intuitive, it also greatly hampers any attempts at expanding business (as you can't write off costs), it makes it difficult to start shooting in studios (crew costs quite a lot, but again, you can't write it off) etc.
What's even worse, tutorial would make one believe it IS based on profit. LOL nope.
2) Contracts are way overpriced, but are mandatory if you want a high level model to stay with you. In other words, you have to invest a lot of money to turn them into superstars, then you have to invest even more - otherwise rivals with infinite money will steal them nigh instantly.
Oh, and not to mention contracts are heavily bugged. And they should not block everything that's not in a contract (model could just charge usual fee for it, or something)
3) What is unnecessarily grindy is looking for models. No way to add stats past the potential level and no way to add or remove traits. Basically if a model spawns without good traits - it's useless. With bad traits? Useless. With low potential and poor stat? Useless again. Keep rolling the dice. You need a petite model? Try again.

Furthermore,
4) Imho the game needs more ways to raise depravity, especially past 40.
Yea, you can just stuff them with all possible drugs, but it's way better and easier to find a model with high depravity to begin with. And that's despite my concern #3.
5) Photostudio requirement "models that have not shot porn" should only count published scenes.

didnt want to spend time on balancing the game before introducing rival companies, let's say the last big feature before 1.0To be honest, when I read that, I have the feeling dev is talking about a total different game.

Really nice that you are offering choice to us.didnt want to spend time on balancing the game before introducing rival companies, let's say the last big feature before 1.0
ideally i want almost all the side shit to be viable in some sense, so you can start there and not feel like you've fucked up.
like focusing on photo contracts, strip club, carwash, cams, low budget porn with whores, ... but you'll never be great in them unless you focus on them and specialize with policies.
Then perhaps it's just Stats screen that's bugged?1) it should be based on profit, not income. i've changed that some time ago(pretty sure based on your feedback).
i have to check, maybe i fucked up when merging the changes.
also tax% is variable and lower at the start.
Makes sense and it fixes my biggest concern, so I'm definitely looking to it.2) well at least you'll be able to adjust contracts now, so you can start with only few clauses and add more as their depravity rise.
Yooo, I love you! Though the word "certain" makes me a bit less excited about this change (and probably will be more realistic than unlimited removals)3) you'll be able to remove certain bad traits, thats the role of all those unfinished doctors.
Perhaps tie it to relationship and corruption like with staff members?4) maybe yeah. have to find some non retarded way to do that. dungeon is whatever, why would low depravity chick agree to go there in the first place.
Oh yea, Photostudio is too good. Please don't nerf it too hard!5) was adjusted a bit in the latest dev. it's still too good lol
Yup, I definitely agree with this. It's definitely not hard if you know what to do and what to expect.could be said for every game ever, but once you figure it out it's super easy.
I love this ideaHow to get PERFECT models & staff (without cheating):
Check the mall if you can access the jewelery store, if you can she's there on weekdays.The special character in the hotel lobby doesn't show up anymore,
