it's intentional. i've mentioned this in the changelog, maybe even patreon post i dont remember. not in the game tho, my mistake.

staff actually lose happiness now when they're working (-13 per shoot is a base value).
overworking them, like 6 days a week, will get them really unhappy. 6*-13 = -78, not counting
girl's traits (obnixious, crazy..). this also affects the mood, probably too much as of now.
some manager perks can give some hap back. it's +5 hap per day for now, might bump that to +10.

staff happiness is restored a bit on sundays (+40) and
they also get some happiness back during the night. entirely based on their salary. so if you overpay you can get easily get away with 6 day workweeks. if you pay 10% more than requested, you'll get +5 hap per day. if you pay 50% more it's +25.
i'll need to limit that i guess. or maybe not. once you have 50 people, overpaying them all will make a dent.


i do need to balance things perfectly so that managers are super useful and "bad" chicks dont fucking destroy your whole production, but do have an effect.
it may also be a bug or two in this whole system as of now. on first glance i think bad chicks have the opposite effect lol.

staff also don't leave right away. when they reach 0 happiness, you'll have a 1 week period to sort shit out. raise the pay or give them a break from shooting (have to make a shortcut).
in the future i may add staff buildings and all that to help with that.

so thats that. this should be in the game from the start, i just didnt make it and have no reason why.
Cool, that makes sense, but then the logic for me would be that for $5,000 a month any cameraman would be willing and happy to hold a camera 6 times a week filming people fucking.

This overworking logic makes sense only if you raise the 100% happiness very rapidly, if there is only for example 1 shoot a week. But right now you'd need literally to pay everyone including helpers between $6,000 and $7,000 a month to make them happy with a full week's work, which financially will lead you to bankrupcy.

So a director would reach full happiness with $1,000 a month to start with, but then if you want to make him/her work Mo-Sa, you're gonna have to cough up more.

Perhaps make these variables more explicit, by adding (even ;)) more functions such as working contracts stating numbers of working days, which would show for each kind of working frequency (1 day/week, 3/week, 6/week, etc.) the required level of salary to reach maximum happiness?...

So since modding is a thing now, I tried it out. You shouldn't use more than 4 traits, some seem to be crashing the game if taken with other combinations. "Player's Bunny" and "Prodigy" do not work for me properly. Piercings need to be readjusted by changing the clothing set.

Cherie Cherbourg is made via the custom template, no changes there. Originally French, but will adjust to your spawn settings. Only got make-up artist by hiring her as staff - but who would hire a game breaking char as staff, anyway? To pick her up, go to the bar 0700-2300. It is an alpha version char, so take those 5 traits not for granted. The "attractive" trait e.g. only gives +10 beauty atm?!? (or maybe I need to give her just -4- traits...)

Where the files need to be placed, see in the main menu under "Mod tools". Depends on your OS.

How can you mod and how can you mod specific traits?

I would imagine that cameraman that you raised to level 10 through training would immediately seek a position at a company that was on par with their skills. Maybe the problem here isn't that they're overworked but that you're running a company that's equivalent to a level 5 or 6, and they feel like they deserve better. That's what the in-game mechanic represents to me.

There is.
The very first screen when you set up a scene to shoot has a drop-down menu for the type of said scene.

Repeat: Photostudio is now a passive income building for girls with the Photomodel trait. Works just like the Camgirls, but doesn't require a website.

No way, it's the complexity that elevates this game above all the glorified animation posers out there. There's an actual game along with the sex scenes here - it's a rare treat around here.
well im sorry but i dont feel like i ihave to have masters degree in business accounting to keep up with what imo is all the nonsense financial stuff analytics this that and whatever...the idea is to hunt for your models train them shoot them profit i dont need to know if they farted for breakfast or not

in addition ,, charisma should be the most important skill in the game and it has 0 meaning you can max out your charisma try to charm the panties off a hoe and sh e will shut your ass down repeatedly.. yes it should be hard to find a perfect girl but not this damn hard .. you meet the girl shes at 0 motivation you share a common interest and her mot changes to 2 percent with 100 charisma..

very uncool and if you get them to agree to an interview cus very rarely do you get sex, they turn you down in the interview but now you have to promise each and every hoe the moon.. having to do tasks for a game is fun but the sheer amount of what you have to do is insane makeup script lighting wardrobe set design .. i mean seriously?

it's the only way game can compete with others.
there's no art, no story, only thing this game have is some gameplay. if i abandon that nobody gonna play it.
game could use some tweaking here and there thats for sure. better explaining some mechanics, gradually introducing new shit and so on.

it will only get more complex with time, but i'll try to make it so you can ignore the micromanagment if you want.
even now you can employ PAs to handle production, publishing and casting and you can just focus on getting new talent. even that can be automated.
it's a nice journey to get there lol, especially if you're new to the game.

---

i've also made some small adjustments when calculating the favor chance. not by much tho.
theres also a starting perk that greatly increases the chance of getting the chick. +30%. i suggest you take it.
when picking up chicks:
perk: 30%
charisma: 0% to 25%
level difference: -40% to 20%. that's to make it hard to pick up lvl 10 chicks as lvl 1
likes and characteristics match: 0% to 40%. it's usually somewhere around the middle

there are no random lvl 10 chicks around so you always get (at least) an extra 10% just for being high level

so at high level, on average, you get initial score of around 60%, 90% with perk.
and then the easiest 2 clicks of your life, what do you like (smart guys) and they you act smart for an extra 25%
AND you can get additional 20% to recruit her if you pick the right options based on her traits.
it's hard to fail at high level. you have to really try.

-------
on casting interview the equation is a little bit different
reputation: 0% to 33%
casting pa: 0% to 30%
perk: 20%
charisma:0% to 15%

at high level, without the perk you're sitting at 75% initial score
at the beginning it's a bit harder thats true. that's why PAs are important and i'll make them even more valuable as we go on.

money offer: -30% to 20%. with perk you can without much worry go for the lowest wage, coz you can offset that with some simple promises like pool use or vip night club card.

thats that. it's harder in the begining, but late game it's almost impossible to fail.
