why not use talent search. you can get what you want in few weeks

This is not a critique of your game, because I have a hell of a lot of fun playing it and it's evolved a lot over the years. But I use talent search, on the most basic requirements, just male model, ebony, and no other refinements. It tells me that it will take about two weeks to find a model like that. Two weeks comes and goes, and another few weeks, and even more time. In all my playtime over many different versions, I've just found that talent search doesn't seem to work as advertised for me. Finding ebony male models is the biggest challenge in my games. I've gone over my settings to make sure I haven't limited nationalities or chosen a perk that prevents me from hiring them. I don't know why it is, I frankly don't know anything about programming so I can't dig into the code to investigate.
Still a great game, despite the challenge to my particular playstyle.

weird. dont know where to even begin. maybe some FPS problem. some graphics card settings override game's 60FPS and is usually causing problems

thats surely a bug then

I'll try again asking..

Hello everyone!
I'm having an annoying problem when trying to launch the .exe.
The error code I get is 0xc0000018.
I did played the game a while back and everything worked perfectly so I really don't know what's wrong this time.

Did someone had the same problem? (couldn't find anyone with the search bar)
Can someone help me perhaps?

if you google the error theres quite a few results
something something registry corruption

here's how to fix it. make sure you know what you're doing

You must be registered to see the links

seems like a weird place to crash since not a lot is happening there
do you have a save?

There should be easier ways to recruit male models IMHO. The selling points of the movies are the girls and that is adequately reflected in the popularity score that is generated for each scene. The talent recruitment via PA is fine on the principle that you want the best models that money can buy. But when it comes to male models you don't want the best models money can buy- you want just about anybody who can do 'the job'. Getting guys to fuck girls should be the easy part.

*A advertisement mechanic could be added where a week after it is posted you are inundated with say ~30 applicants matching the demographic requirement. The game could generate the stats only if they are chosen otherwise they get dumped. These should more often than not be lower level guys (mostly 1s and 2s). They should have training disabled by default so that you can't upgrade them as you go along. A financial penalty could be added for casting these guys in the pornos though since they blow their load too soon/ can't get it up when required etc. in shooting time, editing costs and time (time will be easier to do I guess. Say each film takes twice as long to edit.) Staff happiness penalty, female co-satr happiness and chemistry penalties could also be very high. This could incentivise people to use the talent search mechanic in the later game at high reputation.

*Another interesting mechanic would be chemistry increase mechanic. If you have a model appear alongside another multiple times in enough number of commercially successful pornos they should start getting their chemistry artificially boosted. If the BF/GF mech is reworked then maybe you could have them turn 'exclusive' (in the porno sense ofc) where they will only participate as a couple and that too only in MF, FFM, FFFM. Selecting either of the two automatically selects the other. Maybe the girl could continue to do FF and solo but MMF and GBs are off the table. If you want to make it even more complex, their could be different levels of exclusiveness- leave the porno business and get married, only MF with each other, MF/FFM/ FFFM with M=BF and one of the Fs= GF always, BF can shoot whatever but GF will shoot only with BF, same as previous but MMF and GBs are okay for GF with one of the M= BF, everything on the table. I think out of all of these 4 should be the most common state.

I added these a while ago:

Couple of recommendations:

Can there be an option to create scene types/tags with the stats already in the game? Like for eg. there are niche fetishes like old man-teen girl or pretty girl- ugly guy that are maybe too specific a fetish to hardcode into the game but it can be accomplishe fairly easily with a little bit of arithmetic and the present statistics. I guess the challenge will be to make it work with the chemistry/ popularity system.

There can be another business aspect to the studio. Maybe we can alter the studios shooting style to reflect the demographic we wish to attract? Say male or female. There will be little to no competition in catering to female audience since there are so few studios that do serve them but the max fans cap could be low and the build up would be slow. While on the other hand, male audiences will have fast initial buildup, plateau out due to high competition and rise again if you continue to pump out decent scenes. Maybe the studios could have a 'tenderness' slider. The more tender the scene, the more it is geared towards a female audience.

The old man thingy is kind of achieved by the 'daddy issues' trait but it is a character trait and not a genre.

To expand on your ideas; it'd be great if somehow the "you fucked my girl" mechanic/encounter was included. When an angry boyfriend turns up player has opportunity to recruit (based on charisma). The male recruited would then have high likeness/chemistry with "his girl".
I'd like a "real couples" dynamic (GF only shoots with BF/GF) or/and an option to recruit "couples" to film real couples scenes.

This is pretty much how the porn industry operated in the '70s and '80s. And then they would break up, often violently or involving drug overdoses. But I like this idea.

Violent breakups would be a cool dynamic too. Player would have to manage relationships (e.g not over working couples, avoid using them with others etc) to avoid issues such as property damage, bad reputation, injury (unavability) addictions, models leaving etc.
Could play out along lines of;
Meet couple at location (sunbathing at beach, socializing at bar, shopping in store, walk in park etc)

1. Option to recruit female only; reliant on charisma (persuade male to leave so can attempt to recruit female as normal). Fitness maybe a factor incase of fight. Potential of trouble later on with "hey you fucked my girl".
2. Option to recruit both; also reliant on charisma, but results in "picky" male and female (indicating BF/GF). Potential problems due to happiness drops caused by factors mentioned above.

Potential for a "real couples" style of site or one dedicated to a couple similar to how dedicated model sites work (one or both would have to appear in scene for it to be uploaded to site). Could be implemented with option on male model to add to site (similar to "create site" for female). Can only add one male per site, but both male and female can shoot with others and have it uploaded to site.
Maybe over complicated, but I think it would add an extra bit of fun to the game. I like the idea of sexuality playing a factor too. Special trait for bisexual, lesbian resulting in high chemistry (plus bonus) for related scenes, but low chemistry (penality) for others; i.e lesbian isn't going to want to fuck a guy, but a bi female would love girl/girl, FFM and other scenes involving a girl. This allows for recruitment of a male with a bisexual girlfriend, so he's okay with her shooting with other females but gradual happiness overtime if he's not appearing in scenes.

Can you recruit the girls from the bondage convention somehow in your studio too?

With difficulty; yes.
The only way I've found is to upload a secretly recorded video of them and then rely on getting caught, confronted and then offer them a job.
Chances of getting caught seem to increase if you have a high number of fans in matching attributes (hair colour, race, age).

Ah thanks for the answer, i unfortunately prefer to play as female MC, so it is limited to male players currently.

i can get you 1 yes .. its not a big deal appreciate the thought

 

[Tearria]

I try moving on to the next day and I just end up crashing my game and I have no idea why. Where can I locate my save files and crash reports?

 

[DrLizardman]

Anyone have an idea whats in the next update? or even when it might be? always curious to see where this game goes next.

 

[Dimitry1094]

What I need to do If I want to shoot porn scenes with actors/actress. I have an a photo studio, I've reached 5th level of reputaion, I've bought pool, club and beauty salon; I have 5 web admins and 5 PA. But I can't find a way to start shooting actors with actress.

 

[stauffi]

You just need a normal studio, not the photo studio and have camera/lights + a director assigned to it. Then you can start shooting scenes.

 

[mskills]

The win32 v0797c porn empire version I downloaded is pretty annoying. The girls are always incomplete until you engage them on a conversation and the game gets crashes at times while talking to them. The sex scenes are not viewable. What is really wrong with this game guys.
Why should I always need to visit the main menu before I could save a game. I loved it when I played it long ago but now these issues piss me off.
Please I do I go pass these issues guys?

How can I open normal studio? Where it can buy? I haven't bottons. I only can expand photo studio.

How can I open normal studio? Where it can buy? I haven't bottons. I only can expand photo studio.

While you can buy a photo studio under the "properties" tab, you buy the film studio in another section.

To open a studio and shoot scenes:

Click on the camera icon ("Studio"), located on the far left on the screen.
Click on the "Buy" button (the stack of gold coins) on the bottom left of the screen
Buy a studio
A building will appear on your screen. Click on it.
Click on staff. You will need to go to the job center and hire a director, cameraman, and lighting technician. When you have hired them, go back to this screen and assign them to their roles.
Click on equipment. You'll need to buy a camera and lighting. You can get these at the shopping mall in town. Once you have them, assign them on this screen.
Now your studio is set to film.

Click on "Production" (the camera, just below the "buy" button with the gold coins)
Click on the icon in the top left corner ("Create a new scene")
From here, you can schedule a scene. You'll choose a scene type, the date it will be filmed, and who is in it.
Note: Male talent is hard to come by! You'll have to use yourself, or use the "Model Agencies" under the "Overview" tab (Put points in the "BOC" Company as it has Male models only) to specifically hire men.
To actually watch/participate in the scene: If you schedule it on a day, you need to wait until it is that day in the game. I believe shooting starts at around 14:00 that day. At that time, you can go click on the studio, and there will be a button that lets you watch/participate in the scene
