Even though you could have asked a nicer way:
on the map click the upper right corner (west side), there is the carwash to proceed with a special character.
Ah, I see you found the real Cosplay Convention!after I saw your message I am consuming shrooms non-stop lol. awesome
she does, as far as i saw her story ends by recruiting her - although i only got her that far once and dont know the triggers
the new version gives me a hard time w/o cheating; i.e. i secretly recorded up to 250k and as soon as i open a company i am lost;
one thing is just by clicking open-a-company there are immediately breakins that cost you say 3k day by day unless you get 100% security from day one; even if i have zero money so the thiefs seem to find stuff on advance and i have say -3k then

I play this game until Dreamy went bankrupt. But after i sign all their stars, Annabelle Leaks immediately give child birth and unavailable and no where to be found. Turn out 4 of the Dreamy stars went missing from my list.
so you open a company *click*
now you need immediately security guards or level 100 unless you want breakins and messages day by day
my reason to company is that i am tired of manually shooting and editing by myself and want it automated-
so, besides the security, i need at least two personal assistants, an editor, and... wait: i have to upgrade the office first
now i need director, equipment and a photostudio. Remember even if you buy a studio it isnt a big help now since few models have enough deprave for regular shootings
the carwash is more like a running gag right now since you need a car plus expensive mansion upgrades, so talking about rising deprave you probably want to go with the pgotostudio
now you spent some 5 digit amount plus the staff for say at least 10k per month and speaking for myself have a hard time keeping up to make the monthly expenses so more or less i am doing the same as before except before i was making money now i am happy to not have a loss
alright, the rivals. I feel it is still too fast - so if you have a nice model you better contract her immediately right after the interview. I understand if i made some shoots and they get some popularity that a rival might show interest; but please they are no prophets and not lingering around when you make your very first interviews
now if you have the financial background what may take a whole while and talking rival models into your company, you find out that they are all contracted and you only can buy them out by your financial PA for a 6digit amount PLUS you then have to contract them for say 50k and that immediately or they will be with your rival again tomorrow- often enough i was looking for them in the girls list just to find out they are in the retired section, oh boy
yeah another thing: trying by chearing money i bought every top star from the rivals and wonder how they and how long they can make it without them - there seems to be no difference except they are out of top models. So i suggest that should make a harsg difference
another suggestion, to make it fair, give the player the opportunity to gat your hands on their uncontracted models as they do, and/or let them buy out your contracted (and ready for retirement, hrhr) models for a horrific sum
again, it seems it got too tough

this was a bug i already fixed in recent dev versions. at least i hope i did.
here are her triggers
shoot 2 scenes, increase reputation level to 1, open company, shoot a home scene (skip the sex if she doesnt appear), hire financial pa, earn some money(i think it's 1mil)
some changes i've made since stable
security scales with you repuation level, so when you open a company it shouldnt be that nasty
photostudio made as an early game depravity booster. it's way cheaper, can assign anyone, need just a director and simple equipment.
for rivals, theres like 30 days period when they first notice a model and when they sign her. you also get emails warning you about it.
rivals retiring after their rival contract is over wont happen again
theres no uncontracted models for them, they only exist for you.
i did think about it in the past to make definitive pool of pornstars available, but meh, dont remember why i dropped the idea.
i personally would prefer the interaction with the chars such as the retitement dialogue- this way you cant miss it that easy and immediately know what model is meant without searching through the lists, same with the contracts running out and unhappy staff. if not too complicated some kind of filter opportunity may be nice, so i can switch what info i need to see and/or if i want an interaction or not. the more you advance and the fuller your lists get it may be annoying having say 5 popups every day
so thanks for the planned changes so far and for caring for the community. i like this

Not sure what people are struggling with, I found money pretty easy to come by without using guides, but I play a lot of tycoon/management games, maybe that helped. All of the below has been tried on 0.80 and 0.81-dev2.
Optimise the time you use. One hour of rest recovers 12.5 Energy. Try not to rest more than you need to. You can recruit until morning on the street, and until 5 a.m. at the club, which produces better actresses than the street. You should recruit until it's so late that resting until 8 a.m. gets you to exactly 100 Energy, at least in the early-game.
Keep in mind that recruiting girls doesn't cost you any money yet. Having a large pool of uncontracted girls is extremely useful. Many of them will be unvailable most of the time, so a large pool ensures someone is always available for spontaneous amateur shoots, and you only pay them when they actually work. The STD threat has never triggered anything for me, and the weekly medical check-ups are a lot cheaper than the game says they are.
Photostudio can be a trap. When you're lucky with contracts (boosting them with your "right hand" PA helps), it can be a good source of income. But the depravity boosts you get are laughable. If you want a girl with 0 depravity to be able to to solo shots, you need to keep her there for 100 days, over 3 months. Instead you could just pay for a contract that allows her to do that, and even more, immediately. For low-depravity girls, it's usually not even that expensive and they can start shooting scenes the next day, which further increase their depravity, along with a spot on the camshows, both of which also make you reliable money in the process.
When you go pro, just keep everything at 100% capacity. Don't let your studio(s) idle. Have an eye on employee happiness, your director might need a salary boost to make that possible, they get depressed fast. Sell mostly to a distributor to get more money. Get PAs for finances (lower taxes) and when you have $10k set him to boost camshow earnings. If camgirls make more money, you can take a bigger cut without making them angry. Get marketers to reach 100% camshow marketing for the same purpose. Of course only do that once you actually have camshows unlocked.
Prioritise movies with multiple actresses. They're worth much more and if you are constantly recruiting during your free time, you should have enough to regularly pump out FFM titles after a while.
Keep doing amateur movies. Your main character should also work at 100% capacity. Happiness can be refreshed in the salon at the mall. Or, if you don't want to waste time: have sex with a Happy girl, she'll drain less Happiness. If you're the Harem Master, sex doesn't drain Happiness at all, which I found fun. I might always play as Harem Master in the future. The drawback is no male actors other than yourself, meaning no MMF and no gangbangs.
Not sure if I forgot anything beyond what others have said. Make sure to keep security high. Keep enough money in your pocket when the month ends so taxes don't bankrupt you. You can check current tax debt in the "Stats" tab (scroll down to "monthly bills").

i think bad design from me is allowing player to open a company at rep lvl 1, which is like 10 minutes into the game
immediately you get taxed, bad events start to happen and it's all downhill from there if you dont know what you're doing
oh yea another change i forgot to mention earlier, depravity gain from being assigned to a place is doubled

If you couldn't open a company at rep lvl 1, female main characters would be fucked even more than they already are. The popularity penalty would be applied to every single scene you make since you can't make a video not featuring the MC without a studio.
Female MC start is hard as fuck as it is, no need to completely cripple it.

yeah it's harder than male
i did introduce working in a strip club to sorta give you a way to earn some change early on. it helps a bit, you wont make a fortune tho
Hi mbmb,
First of all, thank you for this game, which is incredibely fun. One of the best I know.
I have some suggestions, I hope won't be unsollicited, I only intend to help.
The management of the models' activities is somehow confusing for me, especially training, leading to unexpected results and constraints.
Maybe it would be more simple to "flatten" this management :
- Girls can have a daily job (cam, car, photo, etc., even training)
- Daily jobs do not interfer with availability, which only depends on physical and mental health
- Each activity boosts a set of traits, like depravity but also intelligence, beauty, etc.
- Training might also be completely merged into this system, either by being completely removed as a particular action, or by having a dedicated place and job (for instance, the ranch).
- Maybe, every property should be used as a job opportunity (for instance the salon to improve beauty, the hotel for cam), and every job should have a dedicated place.
- PAs can also be aligned to this system, by having one PA and associated bonus per place/job (more like a departement director).
- Every actions concerning one job should be on one only place/page (for instance, programming the shootings should be on the studio page only, and not distributed amongst studio, models and PA).
Well... To summarize, I think that a more basic and systematic approach can help to simplify the game mechanisms, and maybe its developement.
I might be wrong, of course, and I can't know the amount of work it would represent (I suspect a lot, and for that I apologize).
Also, I think that secret recording should be always available, and that employees should be conviceable to fully become models, because why not? But that are only details.
All the best!

once assigned to a place it is their daily job so to speak. you can still shoot porn with them if you want but they wont be auto scheduled by PA to not fuck up your plans with them.
did have in mind for certain places to have attribute boosting effects. military camp is an obvious one. you'll also be able to remove some bad traits by sending them there.
PAs acting as managers for places was suggested before and i'm going in that direction. like running the club and other buyable properties.
- Every actions concerning one job should be on one only place/page (for instance, programming the shootings should be on the studio page only, and not distributed amongst studio, models and PA).
maybe it's late or im just retarded, i dont understand what you mean
when are secret recordings not avaialble apart from special characters and cosplay stuff?
you can already convince staff members to become pornstars, but it's a process. have to first earn their trust then the convo options unlocks.
