you have that part right. only profit is taxed, which is why the main goal for most companies is to have as many (real or fake) expenses that profit is around 0.
i've just simplified whole thing coz with special chars and pa you can bring it down to 1%. but you have to be a veteran or a dev to know these things coz they're not explained lmao.

i might change it to be more realistic. plenty of people complained in the last few months.
might even fit nicely in the gameplay when you franticly try to buy shit at the end of the month just so you dont have to pay taxes.


over the years i've added a lot of mechanics, small factors that all influence the earnings. there's a lot to watch for and if you're new it's hard to notice certain things.
and it's never explained. either you have enough autism to notice the small number changes or just go with the flow hoping for the best.
things like condoms negatively affecting earnings and other small shit like that. even i forget about all of them.

anyways, websites are (or can be) the main income source later on. it's a long term investment.
you need some fans in the category you're about to open a website. if you have none, there will be no subs.
also niche sites (blonde teen or whatever) are better at the start than general (boy-girl) sites. subscriber growth on high niche sites is fast but obviously the ceiling is low and the other way for general sites.

work orders are randomly generated and sometimes you get wild shit. i did tweak it a bit so at the start you get easier contracts, but still theres a wild one here and there coz you never know. maybe you do happen to have blonde asian with massive tits, easy 40k + repuation.

at the start you just have to use street whores or agency models. both with downsides.
you may pick up some good looking chick, but then she's not depraved enough to even do porn and you can only wait.

otherwise hire some marketing people, asign them to publishing roles and publish scenes on tubes.
also check the stats tab where the most expenses are coming from and try to solve it. or post it here and we'll do it.

Thanks for the answer. I "survived" the early game and the 25% on sales dont hurt quite as much as in the early game.
I think one great method of handeling this would be to kind of have 10% tax when Rep lvl 2 and 25% for rep level 3.

This way you'd make early game enjoyable, still balance mid game, you'd "simulate" how real companies work (SME usually pay less taxes than big companies) AND you can get in one more scene with that sexy financing lady that is all about taxes and be like: Yo.. you gotta pay more now and smthg

Ok for the newbies here... there was this legend on here called mecha_froggy who used to make quite detailed guides for the earlier versions. I have linked their tips below




I must add that camgirls have been severely nerfed since these versions. And I think the new depravity mechanic was also added after this but for a beginner this should be quite the goldmine. The earnings of camgirls who have done porn is also nerfed. So, once a camgirl crosses that bridge her destiny will probably lie in the wilderness of the hardcore.

Also, first time out always play with cheats on. You never know when you might need a 'bail out'. Games are meant to be fun.
Remember contracts are OP in the mid game. If you find yourself casting a girl quite often. It might be best to just give them a contract.

appreciate the guide, but its not like I am a newbie

PE was my very very first h-game to play back in 2019, finding it on Patreon back in the day and was the game that brought me to F95 and a whole new world...

Its just that I do not at all remember ever having such dificulties in the realy game at all

the scene where the jewelery girl wants to suck you of in the shop is bugged:

Spoiler: no sucking

so when exactly does it crash? i've assigned some camgirls and it seems everything works fine.
but as a tip, you're not really ready for camshows. admin efficiency very low, absolutetly no marketing... you're going to have bunch of angry camgirls and no money.
hire a financial PA, to lower your tax rate a bit and pump out scenes.

I am confused I am using 32bit version on window 10 not the 64bit version but the file still crashes when assign the camshow. So my question is which version did you ran the save file on so that I can clear up my confusion.

my latest dev one, but i've also tested it on latest stable (v0.8b)
now the question arises, which one are you using?

Playing on v.80 and Production PA seems to not work how I want her to. I have specific actresses and actors set to a group and have all 6 of my studios set to only allow siad group. Max scenes per week is set to 6 for everyone in the group and each of the studios is set to shoot all possible days as well. However, when Monday comes around, only one room and sets of actors is scheduled? Unsure on what the issue might be here.

hard to say. send the save and i'll check.

The version on my system is pornempire_win32_v08, file version 3.4.0.0, product version 3.4.stable.official

Have you ever come across a situation where you clicked 4 times and wondered why the fuck do you have do that if it could be done better. Or asked yourself why is this data not shown here? Why do I have to click away? Please list this kind of annoyances so I can make our life easier.

Two further issues where I think in the current build 0.8b a few mouse clicks less would improve the game.

At "Scenes" -> "Ready to Publish" I do not understand the order or sorting of the scenes ready to be published. It seems to be a combination from "Type" and "Shooting day" and X.



While I am able to change the sorting of the scenes by clicking on "Title", this new sorting will only last until I have published a chosen scene, after that the sorting goes automatically back to default. At other screens (like "Girls") a new sorting (e.g. by "HAP") stays until I close the screen or I choose another sorting. If this sorting automatism or standard can be used at "Ready to Publish" it would help the manual publishing of scenes as well.

- - -

Depending on the character traits (my guess) some staff members cannot be kept happy (especially while levelling them up or after that) and are leaving the company. Via mobile phone I am informed (which is imho enough) about their leaving and I have to check for new staff. By the mobile phone message I can see what has been their position and can hire a new one.

But finding the studio where the former staff member has left is always in combination with a few unneccessary clicks because after going to the "Studio" screen and moving to "Room 1" and further on to "Staff" (where the whole staff is can be seen), I move to "Room 2" where I am automatically moved to the "Overview" screen and I click "Staff" again and so on.



In my screenshots the missing staff has already been in "Room 2", but when you have several studios it would be nice if the game can "save" the further chosen tab view, so that after looking at "Staff" in "Room 1" I just have to click at "Room 2" and so on and I am already/still in "Staff" tab.

no idea whats wrong honestly. works for me.
cant tell you anything better other than wait for new version

How do you recruit the tax woman Sabine? Seen it mentioned here before but she tells me open a company and she'll be back in a few weeks and then she never appears again.

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)

for the second one i'll just include the studio name in emails. it's a temporary solution coz otherwise id have to redo that screen

Appreciate you taking a look.

yeah

Appreciate you taking a look.

mc is the only available guy and the only allowed scene type is boygirl.
so mc is scheduled monday till saturday in studio 1 and this is it. you can only shoot 1 studio scene per day. so no one left for other studios.
if you put other male actors in the group and they're from agency you have to enable it so agency actors are casted.

Hi, I must say the game, after some rough start and bankrupts forcing me to load earlier saves again, is quite fun actually. Thanks for this!

I think I am now owning a quite healthy company (rep level 4, photo studio, sports car, car wash and some goodies) and all my staff is level 9 or 10. I did not use any cheats afaik.

But sadly, you have to find out everything the hard way. For example, is there a difference if you let your girls work on car wash or photo studio when it comes to increasing depravity? Both do, but slooooowly. And I still did not figure out how to increase the "Staff" factor wrt/ scene quality (it's always 0 for me -- regardless how many directors, writers, sound techs or helpers I employ).

Is there a way to move a girl from being an actress/model to a staff position? I mean, you can corrupt any staff member to become an actress eventually, but what I would find really hot is a staff member that *sometimes* does HC scenes, be it out of financial reasons, love, or maybe even blackmailing... So, is there really no way back?

did you level up or train your staff to get 100% must be at level 10 staff and must buy best camera and equipment, photo studio, car wash, cam shows, or nightclub would increase overtime depravity

you can move pornstar to staff after she retires.
now if i think about it, i cannot remember if i made any restrictions of "corrupting" her again and she goes to back to porn
and then back to staff lmao
a neverending cycle

but i could make a mechanic like this. occasional pornscene but in the end she's still part of the staff.

did you check it for every studio?

 

[Asdf969688]

did you check it for every studio?

Yeah checked it for every studio as well. Actually, immediately after checking it on Sunday I skipped to Monday to see if it worked and no one ended up being scheduled. Fast forward to the next week and the first 3 studios were scheduled only.
