Is the level of the girl you find dependent on anything or completely random?
random across the city

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
AppData\Roaming\Godot\app_userdata\Porn Empire\mods\sprites\female\necklaces

these should work. you only need 3 sprites for nipple piercings. for left and right tit and backside.

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.
imagine suicide girls ->
tats and issues

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.

I personally save up $10k before opening a company, and I wait several months before doing so too. The reason is I rush websites and camgirls asap, but for websites to be profitable, you needs a large fanbase already. 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 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?

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.​

about camgirls
they will ALWAYS lose happiness. your job is to insure they work long enough until their eventual break.
i've made a mistake of showing their ACTUAL happiness instead of shifting it a bit so the player sees that they're happy even though they still lose happiness.

thats why i dont like dev versions being public. they're like test builds. you have to play with cheats.
but worry not, dev2 is easier.

guess I gotta work out getting them more happiness then. I keep getting the level 6 and above girls spawning but cannot afford to use them so they just get sent to the camshowzone
