mbmb Could you update the files for modding on your blog (pornempire.space) to allow easier work on piercings? I tried to convert some old odeas to 0.9, but it is a tidious process without having a proper breast / nipple template for bigger / huge boobs.

And for the folks longing for a proper choker, I added a zip. Files go into

I agree that the grammar is bad.

However, you have a habit of making incorrect assumptions.

I think it was more than fair to ask you to clarify your issue in an attempt to understand what the problem was but you sort of took offense to it. I was on your side and wanted to see this issue fixed. But then you brushed me aside and declared me a new player.

Judging from your exchange with mbmb and what I'm seeing from my end in the current build, your issue has not been addressed at all. My attempts to help you, have quite frankly, been thrown back in my face.

So now, I will argue against showing all likes and dislikes during the dialogue phase. Afterall, it's unfair since recruiting models off the street involves RNG and many unknown factors until after the recruitment phase, it should be the same for staff street recruitment. For the sake of balance and to elevate the importance of the job center, which staff candidates would normally have something akin to a resume/linkedin/profile that details all their experiences and job preferences.

It's a true shame because we kind of wanted the same thing. I had long advocated for a refresh button at the job center so that paying a price of $5000 would renew the list of staff candidates to new candidates because I also only hire female workers.
It's not just bad, I'm arguing that it's a bug. But you're free to disagree.

Not trying to be rude here, but why should I, or anybody for that matter, have to clarify what's already been stated? If my original comment was unclear I'd understand, but that does not appear to be what you're saying. Correct me if I'm wrong, and I could be, but you're saying I should've "clarified" my post because you didn't want to go back and look to see what I was talking about? That's bad forum etiquette in my personal opinion. If a post is referring to something dozens of pages back, sure, maybe quote the post or something if you're making a generalized comment about it. But I literally said my initial comment to mbmb a few posts, not pages, back.

Moreover, I specifically tagged mbmb, as in I was specifically talking to him, and he responded. At that point we had personal discourse going and I didn't NEED you to fix anything. Also, you couldn't fix the issue because it's a coding issue so you literally could not help. I knew this, but I still took the time to "clarify" the issue, which was not directed at you nor did you need to or where you asked to interject yourself into. Your original misunderstanding is what gave me the impression that you were a new player since had you seen the op you would've had the proper reference to understand the next post. So yes, I made an incorrect assumption based on the information I had at the time. It happens. My bad. But if you're going to jump in somebodies conversation, at least have the courtesy to go back and see what was said before you ask people to re-explain shit. But that's my forum etiquette, I can't expect others to have the same.

You're more than welcome to argue for or against whatever changes you wish. I genuinely do not care. So by all means, advocate for any changes you like. I'm sure mbmb would appreciate the passion. While you're at it, support him over on Patreon too!

I don't know if we want the same thing but again, advocate away!

"Judging from your exchange with mbmb and what I'm seeing from my end in the current build, your issue has not been addressed at all. My attempts to help you, have quite frankly, been thrown back in my face."

This one sentence encapsulates the whole issue though.
First, you don't pay attention. We're both using the same version, so if you have the same issue then obviously it hasn't been addressed yet. That would require a patch or a new version.

Second, we don't know if the issue has been fixed yet as mbmb hasn't clarified if "works fine for me" means the image I shared is as it should be or if it displays the "proper" information in the most up to date version that he's working on.

Third, I was talking to mbmb specifically about a coding issue that you couldn't help with. But you feel a certain type of way about it because you misunderstood the situation and wanted me to correct your misunderstanding for some shit that had nothing to do with you and you couldn't help with anyway. I did that though, but by doing so I'm throwing your help back in your face?

Friend. In this situation, you could've NEVER helped me.

Can someone tell me what the Alt tag does? I know there is a different tag for alt hair, which is just unnatural hair color. But I don't know what clicking alt or preferring alt during character creation does. Seems to do nothing.

alright so with the slower build-up. how much cash do you guys have before you open a company? And I should go for the photo studio first right?

IMO you should harvest at least 20k money, a low level webadmin, at least half dozen cam oriented model and go for the camshows to get stable daily income. After that collect at least a pair of market specialist to boost publising and camshows, and optionally a PA for production to start camshow boosting. If you had spare 5k money you could buy the first studio what needs a director and equipment to be functional. Start this expansion when you have enough fan base and at early in the month to avoid bills and wages as long as possible. I think photostudio is not worth at early in the game because needs a decent staff to complish anything with that, so isn't profitable for a low budget.

Though I'm a patreon, it seems that dev is more active in here.

If the porn empire would be a life sim in the future, I wish there will be other kind of relationship such as friend, for retired models or staffs who is close enough with MC.
And if possible, random chance of death for characters who are 60+ years old.
And a heir system, which is the players could designate a heir when their PC is died... among his, or her own children.

Actually I'm not developer, Idk how long will it take and how how hard will it be, or even is it possible to make with the Godot engine.
All of those are literally my wish, I don't care even nothing would be possible.
I love your game, thank you for your hard work.

How do the camshows work? I thought happiness was linked to fame and cut but models with similar fame will have different satisfaction. I even have one that is annoyed at 99% cut, her happiness slowly went into the 20s as she's never happy. What actually has an effect on income and happiness amounts.

I'm cheating the happiness so it's not the biggest deal but how would you keep them satisfied with their income without it?

Giving them the "Just for fun" trait makes them happier and cheaper to work with in my games.

I expect a strange thing. I'm at end of september and a second model appear on my list from nowhere. The strange part is that the meet column says 1-Jan, so likely she is hid somewhere :) She isn't agency model and they lvl is twice my models average.
Anyone meet with this 'anomaly'?

(p.s. Maybe someone shceduled on scene who is retired before she did and replaced from the nothing, because can't see cancelled shoot at that time)

Also I'm getting frustrated about this version changes. It's nightmare playing without cheating money either on easy difficulty, and it seems a very long grinding in this way. Very thin profit margin, very stricted development, and sometimes disastrous random events. Now I classify it as a survival game ;)

the new balance brought me to my knees, with all the maximum stats, with all the traits, on easy difficulty I spent six months of gaming time to get 1 star with almost no profit. I'm afraid this won't be possible in a normal game...

...and if you make a company the scenes goes unprofitable because the production costs. I think the profit margin locked to the reputation and/or the fanbase (category?) number . And while you don't start the company (or just buy the first office building) then your rep stands at max 1 star (because your reputation restricted to the total scenes volume).

First, I apologize, because I exploited camgirls mbmb over compensated and ended up making camgirls more difficult to handle. Also note, you're playing a leaking dev build and what you see here isn't the final numbers yet and are being still tweaked. But it not impossible to still make profit. Happiness is not linked to fame necessarily. As a camgirl the most important stat is fame and happiness, fame is a major determinate of how much income the model makes, and happiness is the determinate of how often the model will stream. Setting your cut to 99% will make her hate your guts. If you hover over the model's happiness stat it will show a breakdown of what she's upset or happy about. One main way of keeping her happy is sending her to the spa and massage for a total of +5 happiness per day, the spa visits and such should only come out to costing about $250 per week per model, so if shes making you $2500 per day, you're still coming out on top.

If you sign a contrat with the model she will also stream more often, often times almost 5 days a week. If you're strapped for money, sign a monthly contract with her. You will roughlt be charged $4000 per month but if she makes you $2000 per scene you make your money back long before the end of month.
my reputation tuck on 0 i have realeased about 20 videos already is this a bug or am i doing something wrong
Rep is a whole another beast now, it's much more difficult to raise and you can normally expect to be rep 0 or 1 for a long time. rep is now broken up and spread among many factors. image_2023-11-15_171128429.png

It is possible that she is a rival's model. In this build, when a rival's model's contract expires, she can show up in your freelancer pool. Check your emails, there will be a email notification telling you ahead of time before this happens.

I personally enjoy the increased difficulty, but rest assure, the stable version will have the difficulty reduced.

For the most part it is random, except location plays a factor. For example, whore spots like the alley, docks, and strip club will spawn very low lvl models, but other areas like the cafeteria, beach, etc will spawn decent to good models. Once you have unlocked the night club, it is the best place to spawn high tier models with max stats or almost max stats. The only other place that spawns better models is throwing a party or going to a convention.

Camgirls, even though it's been nerfed to hell and back, are still the best passive income. Going the studio route is also a very viable strategy because it bypasses the -10% amateur penalty. But you gotta choose, you can't do both right away, this will over extend your resources and is the #1 reason most people go bankrupt.

I personally save up $10k before opening a company, and I wait several months before doing so too.

I am somehow staying afloat with contracts. No clue how to save up enough money to get a house though, do I put it in the Bank? also all my models hate the camshows but I have their marketing maxed out... do I just have to give them breaks from the office menu?
