The Income system in this game is completely fuck up, especially the passive income, the carwash dosent make barely any money and the montly expenses are way to high, and the only way to make more passive income with the carwash is spending even more money that you dont have, same with the strip club exept that you have to spend 66.000 to open it in the first place. And the cherry on top is that the moment you open the bussines all the pasive income is lost, 0 , nothing. There's no reason to do anythin else than secret filming with a phone and edit with a laptop.
Car wash, stripper club, and night club are all long term investments. You need to slowly build up their popularity. In my play through, it took almost 4-6 months before they started turning a profit or throw away money into service quality until popularity is 100. However, once they did become popular the car wash was bringing in $100K, and the others were making $250k each.

Also, these stats are relevant to which models you should put in each place:

You didn't hear this from me, but I heard mbmb was gonna tweak the car wash so it gains popularity faster since it's supposed to be the early game investment property.

Camgirls are a pain in the ass unless you specialize towards them.

You can manually give them breaks, but that would be a chore to micromanage 30 camgirls.

To optimize camgirls more:
  1. Assign a marketer to each one so their fame rises faster, the more fame the higher their income.
  2. Assign each model merchandise (for now there's no cost to use this and it gives free fame)
  3. Assign marketers to camshows in the marketing tab to 100% (you can also increase spending, sometimes it's better to spend $5k on weekly spending than to spend $5k on hiring another marketer for example), if it's not at near 100% you aren't making the full income you would be making
  4. Hire production PA and use boost camshow earning policy
  5. Hire financial PA and use 33% cheaper maintenance
  6. Besides fame, the other most important stat that directly increase a camgirl's income is beauty. I personally never assign a model with less than 80 beauty. Nobody wants to watch an ugly camgirl, just like in real life. I mostly use models with 100+ beauty even if her other stats aren't that great.
  7. Only use models with good traits if you can. Any model with Blueballs, Idol, and/or Virgin trait should automatically be assigned as a camgirl, they will become your top earners. If you can't find any, look for traits like attractive, cute, passionate, etc that give scene revenue modifiers, these are all stacking multipliers.
  8. I can't stress enough how important it is to send your camgirls to the spa and massage and sign a contract with them, this will give them a daily total happiness boost of +8. The happier camgirls are, the more often they stream. If you just throw a model into camshow and expect her to earn free money, it won't work out so well.
  9. If you're loaded with money, in the late game, paying $200,000 monthly investment will give all models a +5 happiness. It sounds crazy but it pays back major dividends. And when I'm making $50k per day with camgirls, $200k a month is nothing.
  10. Personally, I still hover around 50% cut for my camgirls, it seems to be the sweet spot with the current balancing. You can get away with taking a 70% for some girls.
  11. Keep web admin efficiency at 100%
There's some unknown factors mbmb put in that makes some girls more adverse to this and unhappy for unknown reasons (at least he hasn't told me yet the details). I still don't understand why some models have a -9 daily unhappiness and some have a -22 daily unhappiness and others a +5 daily happiness. I suspect it is they lose happiness with each scene and once they hit 0 happpiness, their daily unhappiness resets to +5 daily happiness.​
Again, I apologize, because he saw that I was doing too well with camgirls and he may have overcorrected the numbers to bring my success back in line with everyone else's struggling poverty gameplay.​
Andrew got it all figured out. :oops:

In the current build, the jump from lvl 1 to lvl 2 is actually quite steep, especially since lvl 1 have low stats. Low stats give negative multipliers to base directing skill. You need to train the relevant stats (int and sex) up because they add a positive multiplier, once high enough, to the base directing skill. For example, a 50% multiplier of 5 base directing skill is just 7.5 but a 50% multiplier of 40 (lvl 4) is 60 (becomes lvl 6). Once you break that lvl 2 mark, it becomes easier to gain levels. For these reasons, I highly recommend training your staff, especially if they're low level or low stats.

Also since skill ups are based on % chance, it's possible you just had really bad RNG. And the director is being held back due to low stats like int and sex which would turn a base directing skill of 16 into an effective 7.

In my expereiences, a staff with 75 potential, once fully trained, can still reach lvl10. Anything less than that will struggle.
This actually makes a lot of sense. If there is really a negative multiplier, that would explain everything.
Most directors I hire simply exist to remove the 10% penalty on films, and I hire them based on their preference, meaning they were all helpers etc. before being directors. Them being level 1 and not costing me a bunch of money isn't the worst thing for me, I just thought it was strange that they were stuck at level 1 the whole time...
Thanks for the intel

-depravity wont rise over 50 when assigned to some place, after that it's porn
-it does. it's slower, coz the game is slower. i had problems coz girls lvled up too fast and their rates increased. theres 2 training related pa policies to make it pretty viable.
as for director, idk. it shouldnt be that slow. but theres also a pa policy to make it faster.
-contract: if you dont enable she wont shoot those scene types, depravity doesnt matter in that case.
-increase service quality as the popularity of the place increases. if you want faster progression put some marketers on it.
You know what? You're a pretty cool cat. Thanks for the response!
I take it you already knew about the bug during male interviews?

I made it to 3 stars but then fell back and I am now stuck at 2 stars. I guess flooding the camshows was a bad idea lol.

Seems like something is terribly broken with earnings in the current version uploaded.

Playing as a female, I am pushing out videos that average ~500 chemistry and ~2500 popularity at around $800 production cost, but they only generate around $20-30 dollars total.

only thing that really matters for scene profits is % buffs

do the following:

1. get 20-50k capital before opening a company - easy to do with GeoAnon, and other requests just shooting with hookers
* right after opening a company
2. get max publishing marketing, with marketers staff NOT by raising marketing cost
3. get PA lvl 10 production and select "top production"
4. get PA lvl 10 publisher and select less piracy
5. get PA lvl 10 analytics and try to only shoot for trends

FFFM and FFM are the best categories, focus on traits that add % on actors

very clunky menus.. they had so much time to polish this game out but everything is so clunky. The gameplay itself is fine i suppose. The studio management is the worst. It says "no director" yeah ok then let me assign it but the buttons are greyed out despite me already having hired a director.. what bs

0.84 was definitely better. There's 2 big downsides or cons that ruined my overall gameplay, there might be more along the way but I won't list future ones or it'll look more like a complaint.

1st is that modded models you make no longer work all that well, they relocate to different countries after you meet them even if you edited them be U.S.A. girls.

2nd is the editors taking all night and possibly all morning editing videos now, I fired a few so far and just made my char do the editing.
