Weird, cause I tried to load my save and the screen automatically closes
Sorry, to clarify I've been able to launch old versions for old saves - I title my saves "v.76 1, v.76 2, etc", launch v.76 and play. If launching the new version they won't load. My apologies for the incorrect information.

Ok. Thanks.

What's with the mis-classification of girls/staff? Latinas are supposed to be named such because they come from Latin America, not say, Israel or Sweden right?
I also wish there was a way to mass set variables like salary and such, or do it in groups at a time.

I'm not sure if anyone else is having this problem but I can't get my studios to automatically go into production. I cheated money so I've got the studios and I've got equipment/staff for them as well. I have PAs for Analytics, Production, Publishing and event talent search but the studio no longer shoots anything... I did some further testing and I think the check box that says Prioritize stats was the problem, because I unchecked that and now we're producing scenes again.

Game freezes for me sometimes at the beginning of a shoot.
It does it with some models all the time. Not sure why though... Shot like 5 scenes with a model, on 6th scene with the same model it freezes no matter what I do ;/

P.S. Game doesn't crash, I think its just GUI that stops responding, music is still playing and you can undress/redress actors by pressing 1 or 2 on the keyboard, but you can't click on anything.

Unfortunately this game gets way too complicated to figure out once you become a professional company with a studio.

do NOT use old saves. while it may work for a while, sooner or later wierd shit will start to happen like unresponsive UI, models statuses freezing or in many cases just crash to desktop.
if you started a new game and the crash is still there please msg me your save file. it helps identifying the bug almost immediately.
saves are:
On Windows: %APPDATA%\Godot\app_userdata\Porn Empire\Saves
On GNU/Linux: home/user/.local/share/godot/app_userdata/Porn Empire/Saves

to answer some questions
-you'll get insta heal cheat
-i'll make pregnancy with other dudes optional
-you have to buy a nightclub. buying properties unlocks with progressing with delia.
-it would take so much time to gather local names for 100+ countries. so for now there are just random. can't even group them by region. even more hate when japanese gets chinese name.

tell where you're lost so i can write a tutorial or change the pacing. maybe introducing new things more slowly.
i can imagine new players getting overwhelmed with million options after opening a company. it's just autopilot for me.

Lot of fun, but after spending some time building up the business, would be just as happy to play with the employees and leave behind the micromanagement. Maybe add business manager type to potential staff (gated behind levels of progress)? Then you could just review their decisions for the week/month and not micromanage every day. Correct me if that already exists and I haven't passed that gate yet.

Other than that, I guess my only real complaint is that this crashes like a motherfucker. You really need to save often. I'm sure that will get ironed out, but maybe the dev could add an autosave after resting or at 8am? That would be helpful so that even if it gets fixed there will be a safety feature if the same issues crops up in future versions.

Edit: Just saw comments above, so I see the dev is actually here and is addressing crashing. That's cool. Really can't look at this as a pirate site anymore, since so many devs use this as a proving ground and place to redirect punters to their patreon.

expand a little on that staff business manager. what do you mean exactly?
autosaves really slowdown the game. all the calculations are pretty fast, but saving to disk takes forever. i tried doing it in parallel but it was a fucking nightmare lol. when i have more time testing i'll try again.

i sure wont make my own forum anytime soon. nobody has time dealing with moderating, updating and making sure everything works. i think majority of players are here so i treat this thread as official along with patreon comments. much better functionality than patreon tho.

Yeah, it was just an idle thought. Thinking about it more seriously, I see it could get overly complicated pretty fast. But I imagined something along the lines of someone(s) you could hire and say "here's the budget for the week/month divided into x categories. Assign scenes based on x trend, don't hire performers above/below x level, etc." Kind of like the PAs already do for some functions, only moreso. Basically, it was cool with a photo studio and a couple film studios, but as the business expanded it became less fun with so many things to personally deal with. Trying to keep all the studios working, rotating through various contractors and freelance employees, etc...I've been leadership irl and you really want at least one competent number two. Someone that allows you to act as a CEO instead of a manager or troubleshooter.
Is that even understandable? I'm not sure I'm making myself understood and it's probably more trouble than it's worth anyway.
