i mean at best, with every bonus imaginable and long term, contracted chicks should cost the same(or maybe a bit less) as freelancers.
you're paying for exclusivity, you have to secure the good ones.
big stars affect company rep, fans and market share(v0.9), so it's not only about profitability but public image.
you're quietly seething that you have to pay these bitches so much money, but you just have to if you wanna be a 5 star company.
I agree with that. But I think it could be better than low lvl models (<lvl 5 for ex) have to cost less than high lvl, with a significant difference. I think lvl 3-4 models should cost something like 20k for solo, girl-girl, boy-girl scene for 3 months and 9 scenes. Right now, its 30k.
-people really starving for clubbing, so you'll get more cash from night club
Yeah to have an idea, right now, both my strip and night club have same stats (100% fame, 100% security and 60% girls) and I earn almost the same for both (150k per month) when I have to pay 35k per month for strip club, and 90k for night club. When you have to pay 300k to buy night club, its pretty bad !!!
2. progression curve. it's the hardest thing to do for me. i want game to be open ended from day 1 so making this right has been a real struggle.
i did make rep lvl gated content in the past, but in the end i didnt like it. based on the feedback many also didnt.
so i've been slowly removing the requirements. i know that means dwarf fortress lite for new players, but fuck it, you cant make everyone happy.
at least you have some freedom. i hate playing games exactly how dev wants you too, everything else is impossible or nonviable.
as for the earnings, in the past when you got things rolling you've made countless millions. theres no real money sinks so whats there to do.
if you always keep struggling with money, i agree it's also not the best but you know...
In fact, having to pay a lot of money t unlock certain content, is a good way to have some content for early-mid game and others for end game.
My problem is : the content of "end game" cost a lot of money to earn less that some investments in some early content. And even if you put the maximum in end game content you cant earn more than some early content.
As I said, if some guy want to buy some end game content, I need to earn a lot of money if he put time and money on it, as for early content.
And about general difficulty, you want players to play grindy gameplay or easier one, but right now, imo, normal difficulty should be the hard difficulty, easy should be a normal difficulty and you should create a new easy difficulty when you earn 50% more money for ex. Thats my thoughts, dont know if Im the only one thinking difficulty lvl shoud rework ???
maybe the ultimate goal would be to keep 5 star company and having access to top chicks. maybe chicks should be "uglier" until really top lvls, so at least your dick is pushing you forward if you dont want to fuck busted up crackwhores.
Maybe. Or have place (like private jet, private beach,...) where you can find girls with more and better traits for ex. Another way to "reward" player that unlock stuff in game.
I got another idea like that, its to have some hidden features, like that some specific traits should appear more oftent, depending of place you find a girl (photography, strike a pose at beach, blue balls at university,...)
3. i do agree something should be happening, but i personally fucking hate random events. the likes of "the studio burned down" pls rebuild.
i like when bad shit is happening as a consequence of you neglecting certain aspects of the game.
i have a lot of security breach events that scale with you not having enough of them. well the problem is that it's not really hard to not have 100% security.
sorta related (and unrealistic), i think lower staff limit would make the game better but not many would agree with me. at least you'd have to employ enough people if you want to run every property or 9 studios shitting out scenes or massive web network or fame producing company... coz you wont be able to cover fucking everything.
I personnaly like when there are some good events, specially when you are just farming and doing the same exact shit since 30h with no changes at all. But it has to be well designed and thought. If it just here to "fill the hole", so I agree its useless.
