The game is not working for me, it worked before but now only the "Create Game" button is working and even then when the game gets created, I am unable to release it because that button too is not working.
It shows 500 Internal Error after the game gets created
Hi, that's an interesting bug. It's probably not the game but the underlying tooling that causes it. I'm guessing you played the game before v0.2.0? If you are playing the browser version, try changing your browser to see if it fixes the problem.
Hey thanks, that worked. I also have a question, are you able to effext the console sales of a platform? For example if you make games for another platform can that cause the sales of that particular platform to increase?
Remaking the whole game! That must be a lot of work but still patches and stuff will probably come soon. I'm guessing 0.3 will also (finally) let you make your own devices
Yes, v0.3.0 is planned to launch with Linux support. Do you use a specific Linux distro and version? Knowing the exact distro version will help a lot with playtesting.
Wait, I have an idea for the PC. What if you added a feature where different components can become the criteria. For example, a PC's minimum requirement is 200 PP or 400 GP or 9 MB of RAM, etc. So you will have the minimum requirement to be a Pentium 4, don't focus on extending the game, focus of increasing the quality of the set time the game is.
No you can still play old games on a computer and thus it could play a simple game. right now it only takes about an hour to get through to the end so I think more content should be better for now(Of course better quality content will eventually be better than more content).
It's a good idea, but it's only applicable for PC and single platform. what if we target multiple platform? different systems have vastly different power, and they are not comparable. I tried to simplify it by using PP and GP as a way to measure their power but in real life if you optimize a game it can run on any platform. It's a problem I don't have a solution for yet.
It's weird, right? I know the overall feedback here has been positive, but if you hate the game let me know, it's ok to criticize the game. Leave a comment and share your thoughts.
Maybe the game is more broken than I thought just look and you'll see basically I use the marketing trick where I do one super expensive one in the international and then like 30 of the same in local and it just gives me a bunch of hype super broken like how did that even slip by broken I'm going to see if I can get to 100%. And this was with only 60% originally for racing with 80 I'm afraid it might break past 100% and get to like a hundred and something%
Ok I'm starting to get afraid I might have to leave until the game is fixed because this is maximum maximum priority like if one of these hyper broken saves gets in to version 0.2.1 then I think the whole game could just lose interest except for like the people who have figured this out and they're just enjoying their quadrillion dollars or whatever
Jan 4 1979 I don't think humanity is going to recover from this they're just going to be stuck playing the game the first time a game developer is just like please stop playing our game you're going to lead us to a future where we can't get anything done except beating levels in my game
I don't even know what to say anymore but this is absurd maybe just keep it so YouTubers can have some fun you know they can afford to spend hours playing the game seriously if you are a YouTuber reading this and you do gaming please make a video real quick doesn't have to be the best of quality but some attention would be really nice less bugs at least (yes I'm looking at you djaro games of you're still here!)
Yeah I did actually get one with 80% but sadly it went bankrupt with -4,000 man I wish there was a way to continue if it's more than -10,000 make more than 10,000 in one day remove the 10,000 from the bank and you're good
Do same thing I did please but just with more games I only made around 20 doing five every once in a while so do somewhere around 10 maybe each time and make in total well just as many as you can! (Also I bought three offices in the beginning instead of my normal strategy of two ((try doing AA (((or even AAA)I only did large))
Feel free to share it with the community. I'm okay with players exploiting bugs. If you have time, please report it on Discord, there is a bug report channel.
I know, but that's intentional. I will increase the speed a little bit, but not by much. The game feels slow because there isn't much to do on a daily basis, that's what I think.
rebellium can you make it so that you can make anything simple enough like buying a company making a cheap beta so i dont go bankrupt at 99 things like that
wow, rebellion. Thank shortout for Processor tycoon. i am finally play new cpu tycoon replacement. NO offense for hardware tycoon. I been playing hardware tycoon for awfully long time
Much better than any modern text-based management game out there. It may turned me down for the "corporatism" design, ykyk, but i'm not expecting it to be this good and much more immersive content! Great work devs!
this game is awesome I originally thought hardware tycoon was the best device game note can you add the abblity to update your games also abblity to put game on multiple devices
Hey, Rebellium? Could you please include difficulty levels? I love the game, but I’m HORRIBLE at achieving success in this new version. I mean, absolutely AWFUL. Usually I go bankrupt between 1979-1985. So, could you please include an easy mode (EGS for features: You have a larger selection of technologies in the beginning, employees work for dirt cheap, everything is far less expensive, ETC) for us novices, and a hard mode (EGS for features: You have no technologies available to you at the start, you now have to CONVINCE employees to join your company, you need to worry about fitting in with trends, ETC) for the experts? Maybe a tutorial for the noviciest novices? Thanks!
i love it, its super fun and simple BUT its super easy to break or loose all of your progress, i was playing, decided to go to the menu to export my save because i struggle with pc crashing, and after like doing this 4 times all my saves broke so uh
downloaded the game, and yes its my pc crashing but its not the reason, its the reason i do backups but doing many backups broke all my saves, even the ones i did no backups on, i first lost like 1 hour of progress after my pc crashed, then i lost like 30min of progress when my new save broke, i do love the game tho but i just wish the backup stuff didnt break the saves
Uhhhhh rebellium self-publishing is broken you can sell games easily at a million dollars and if you bring it down to zero you can still make money too and then you just dominate the video game market
Yeah but I went bankrupt because of my way of getting a bunch of units XD currently at: 93% (in 1981) I wouldn't be surprised if the whole video game market just turned to this one gold standard Plus it would probably also be the only one to ever surface after you know 1978
Oh yeah also if you have any ideas of extending the discontinued state of the console by how much it sold I would not recommend it because of this thing only working with self-publishing enabled consoles okay if I sold I mean how many games for that console it sold since it's basically like that already if it's just the amount of the console sold
Second run two achievements less than 1% for every other category and on top of that 95%. Mayhaps even 96% we'll see yeah I did proof because I feel like I need it new question can a category of game go completely extinct the lowest I've seen is 0.04% I've somehow reached 97% let me just say that again 97% WHAT but also how do you fix a game strategy like seriously of course yes this is wildly broken but still
Yeah that's a weak point after all there's only three and those are at the very beginning of the game (there might be a fourth later I can't quite remember after all my saves did get deleted)
Now that I'm thinking about it why don't we have like the PlayStation the Xbox like once you start making video game consoles yourself it could have another pop up like what kind of console do you want to create for your first and this won't be changeable until you unlock it and research which is only unlocked after three researches for that and these are like 100,000 research yes I know it sounds crazy but you already have two for 20,000
And don't forget to add things like toasters and cetera here's just some things that can be listed off ovens microwaves blenders those are for the kitchen of course TVs game consoles obviously
For some reason, on my Ipad (Browser), there isn’t a way to access the actual game. It’s just the title screen. No matter what I click - nothing happens. There’s no start button, no clicking on the title, nothing. Can someone please help me? Or worst case scenario, can Rebellium please fix this bug?
Just got finished with 1997and it seems like the end of the game...game(?) since everything is discontinued but I think we could maybe continue it with imaginary future consoles. oh and in the beginning I like the idea that you will be able to choose your location location could be the difficulty setting that everybody's been asking for where you start normally that's easy mode I mean it is quite easy or normal mode it's pretty hard I guess and then hard mode could be Europe everything that sells there is reduced by let's say a factor of 1.5 but can be changed like could be 1.2 or maybe actually just 2 and then like extreme mode would be Africa like what video games are there in Africa not to be mean but they're pretty underdeveloped there and I guess : Factor definitely 2 with your beginning cash decreased plus maybe some other arbitrary reductions. easy could be Japan where you start or everything's like normal but Japan and you start in 1983 because that's when Nintendo released the famicon (for some reason Google thinks I'm spelling this wrong even though Google thinks ((in speech to text)) yeah this is a word 🤷) AKA Nintendo entertainment system sorry for the giant block of text which is just what I think could be expanding the game
Great idea! I will probably expand the game into Europe and Japan first. I will try to fill in the gaps with more platforms between the 1970s and 2030s. It made me think, why not have more things happen after 2030? I won’t focus on that because it’s more speculative, but it’s an interesting idea.
you should look into the discord once, i think you would like to see al the ideas we have spun up in there (this beeing one of them just with a bit more detail. it would give quality changes in the products, change in what is liked in the country, change in the price for houses and way more.)
the link to the post with all the countrie related ideas listed on discord :
when i click play, load, or mods, nothing happens, in console it says
0.DmAhf8Dp.js:1 Uncaught (in promise) TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'apply') at console.debug (0.DmAhf8Dp.js:1:1407) at detectFunc (injection-tss.js?non…2kowkffw5q66:1:1048) at t.<computed> [as pushState] (injection-tss.js?non…l2kowkffw5q66:1:371) at Y (entry.k-kwZ1fo.js:1:18583)
im on a windows and on google chrome. can anyone help me fix this?
That’s an old and unused part of the game. For it to run, some other part of the game must have called console.debug. The thing is, it can never happen. There could be an extension that has injected some code, or Chrome might have done something weird. I tested it on Windows Chrome, and it was working on my side.
So, is there a fix for this? I’m sorry, but I don’t think there is. Your best bet is to disable extensions or try the Windows version.
I made 80% of the video game market text-based racing games now I'm just going to make the ultimate game also racing. soon the video game market is just going to be me making racing games
Ok so I dont want to sound dumb, but i'm struggling to make any money what so ever, anyone have any tips to getting started? I played before the last major update and found it easier then, but yeah im suddenly really bad and have no idea how to play :)
Try making really small games at first, crank the graphics to the lowest they will go and then add as many other features as you can, then spend ALL your money on marketing. Good luck, and God speed
(Also continue spending lots of money on marketing after the game has been out for a while, I made a game from 1978 earn 80 million dollars in 1994 by spending lots of money on marketing),
Edit: The game got updated apparently, maybe this isn't the ultimate guide then, I have not played the new update yet. whoops
I love this update! Things I would like seen added or changed:
Loans, this game has became a bit harder than versions prior, so if maybe you could take out a loan (up to a million for example), then if you are not able to pay it back in like 6 months, you’ll lose like double the amount you took out.
If you go bankrupt, you can go back maybe a week before you got bankrupt if the hardness of the game stays
Extra superspeeding the game up while you’re not making games or researching
Longer time that ads stay up
I’m not exactly sure what you can do, but if you can fix the bug where on safari you can’t play the game
Maybe you can negotiate with a publisher to be able to take a game off sale if you’re not making any money from it but the publisher is still keeping it up
And finally, if your game is put up by a publisher, then you could maybe negotiate changing prices or royalties
There isn’t any way to cancel the license, but you only get charged annually if the platform is still on the market. When the platform discontinues, nothing will be charged.
Does hiring employee while already working on game have an effect on development speed? I'm really not sure, because researches were faster, but game development...
Research queue not quite intuitive, sometimes when you start new one, they apper after existing ones, and sometimes they take priority. Maybe it should be just in "First in-first out" order?
Hiring more employees should boost the development or research speed. Also, there is not any priority, it really depends on which project or research comes before the other one in memory.
idk if your planning on this or if in the game Bc I have not played to far in
But what if later on in the tech tree you could unlock the ability to do multiple genres at once, like for the first upgrade you would unlock two at once and then the second one could be 3 at once. once you have multiple genres you can select the amount that you have unlocked (2-3)
and a slider would pop up and would chose how to evenly divide 100% into the genres you selected.
I agree with requests to have a "make time go even faster than the fast button" button, and theorange4's comments about revamping the employee screen.
After I click the button to hire a new employee, I'd like to have the new hire's stats show up in a popup window or smth with "Keep or Axe" buttons since right now I have to click on them (after scrolling down a long list if I have a bunch of employees) and decide whether they're worthy. If you think it would help add a strategy element, maybe you could have a finite labor pool and if you Axe someone they're gone for good, so players can't just reject anyone with less than 20 stat points. With new potential hires gradually trickling in over time if you exhaust the labor pool.
I'd like to be able to ditch a project or a research track if it's becoming clear it will take forever, or the console gets discontinued, or just because I feel like it.
I also ran into the bug where if I go back to the main menu and then continue a game, time doesn't start until I go to a submenu (make a new game, research, or smth) and then come back to the top level gameplay screen.
In the plots of game sales on the top level screen, I'd like to see numbers for current monthly revenue and units sold (not just plots without y-axis scale indicators).
Also, in this game I made a gamejam game in 2 days with text-only graphics at lowest possible quality and no advertising and it was a multimillion dollar smash. I want to find the place this game world is based on.
I will consider your suggestion for the next update. The game needs another revamp, some players find it super easy to make millions, while others ask me to lower the difficulty. I have fixed that bug, although it will be some time before the next version is out.
I agree with everything that 3p0ch said. But personally, I think that the game is too easy, I am at 1.08B right now, and have only released 6 games and all my games have more than 25 million units sold, one of them has 135 million units sold. Also, the research page is a little annoying because unless you hover over the item, you don't know if you have researched it already, there should be some sort of overlay or sprite that shows you it has been unlocked.
the news section is also not very clear, there should be notifications that well tell you important news
there also should be achievements, so the player gets a better sense of progression and achievement.
Well I have some with 10 billion that means some people had to buy it twice there's only 8 billion people in the world not even counting that I'm in the year 200_
Ha, you're assuming that every person on earth has one of the consoles that can play the game. But the most units of one console sold (That I have seen) Is about 25 million, so if you get the amount of games you sold to that console (10 Billion) and divide it by the amount of consoles (25 million) then you get about 400 copies of the game per console.... I guess its a pretty good game if each person buys it about 400 times.
Yes but I was being extra generous but just imagine "why are you buying your 400th copy like you have 399 like come on you spent almost $1,000 on these!"
I’m not exactly sure if I’m doing something wrong or if this is intentional, but being a Mac user, I cannot download this to play on my computer, or play this on web, as when I open up the game, the only things that show up is the name of the game, audio, full screen, and language buttons, there is no start or play button so I can play. If you can possibly fix that, that would be great!
That’s not intentional; it’s definitely a bug. Unfortunately, I don’t own a Mac to test it on Safari. It could be something with the WebKit browser engine. I will try to fix it somehow. However, if you are able to, I would love to see some screenshots or peek around the developer tools of the browser to check if the buttons are actually there but fall outside of the view or are hidden.

Do any more things happen after the nes discontinues? My game is in 1997 with 2 billion dollars and I'm just waiting for something else to come out
No, nothing else happens after that.
Have you decided to port the game to our country's gaming platform? The webmaster consents to portability
And please send your email address to contact you.
Hi, I was busy working on the new version, and unfortunately, I did not have time to follow up.
The game is not working for me, it worked before but now only the "Create Game" button is working and even then when the game gets created, I am unable to release it because that button too is not working.
It shows 500 Internal Error after the game gets created
Hi, that's an interesting bug. It's probably not the game but the underlying tooling that causes it. I'm guessing you played the game before v0.2.0? If you are playing the browser version, try changing your browser to see if it fixes the problem.
Hey thanks, that worked. I also have a question, are you able to effext the console sales of a platform? For example if you make games for another platform can that cause the sales of that particular platform to increase?
My memory is rusty, but I believe you can't affect the sales of platforms.
trying to not be rude but when 0.3.0 released
I think in the next 6 months v0.3.0 will be ready. I have been remaking the whole game, it's going to take a while.
Remaking the whole game! That must be a lot of work but still patches and stuff will probably come soon. I'm guessing 0.3 will also (finally) let you make your own devices
Will you ever port your game to Linux by chance?
Yes, v0.3.0 is planned to launch with Linux support. Do you use a specific Linux distro and version? Knowing the exact distro version will help a lot with playtesting.
Can you add the SNES or in this case, the SYES?
Yes, I will. Thanks for playing the game.
Wait, I have an idea for the PC. What if you added a feature where different components can become the criteria. For example, a PC's minimum requirement is 200 PP or 400 GP or 9 MB of RAM, etc. So you will have the minimum requirement to be a Pentium 4, don't focus on extending the game, focus of increasing the quality of the set time the game is.
No you can still play old games on a computer and thus it could play a simple game. right now it only takes about an hour to get through to the end so I think more content should be better for now(Of course better quality content will eventually be better than more content).

I tried to simplify it by using PP and GP as a way to measure their power but in real life if you optimize a game it can run on any platform. It's a problem I don't have a solution for yet.
Add a few research options to optimize. I've seen modded versions of Valorant run on a calculator.
Yeah, I think it's a good idea to have optimization option, I will try to add that.
Maybe add an option to make fonts based on graphics. I've seen a few games do it and it did pretty well.
Do you mean text based? I think it's in the game.
Finally someone who commented 16 days later that's absurd for how popular the game seems to be
It's weird, right?
I know the overall feedback here has been positive, but if you hate the game let me know, it's ok to criticize the game. Leave a comment and share your thoughts.
Maybe it's just because it's been 74 days since version 2.0 released, still I can't wait for 2.1!
Yeah, Maybe.
Ok I'm starting to get afraid I might have to leave until the game is fixed because this is maximum maximum priority like if one of these hyper broken saves gets in to version 0.2.1 then I think the whole game could just lose interest except for like the people who have figured this out and they're just enjoying their quadrillion dollars or whatever
Jan 4 1979 I don't think humanity is going to recover from this they're just going to be stuck playing the game the first time a game developer is just like please stop playing our game you're going to lead us to a future where we can't get anything done except beating levels in my game
I don't even know what to say anymore but this is absurd maybe just keep it so YouTubers can have some fun you know they can afford to spend hours playing the game seriously if you are a YouTuber reading this and you do gaming please make a video real quick doesn't have to be the best of quality but some attention would be really nice less bugs at least (yes I'm looking at you djaro games of you're still here!)
99.81% Wow, that's a new record!
Yeah I did actually get one with 80% but sadly it went bankrupt with -4,000 man I wish there was a way to continue if it's more than -10,000 make more than 10,000 in one day remove the 10,000 from the bank and you're good
Do same thing I did please but just with more games I only made around 20 doing five every once in a while so do somewhere around 10 maybe each time and make in total well just as many as you can! (Also I bought three offices in the beginning instead of my normal strategy of two ((try doing AA (((or even AAA)I only did large))
Rebellium, I found a trick that you can get your game 1st ranks with 500k budget
Feel free to share it with the community. I'm okay with players exploiting bugs. If you have time, please report it on Discord, there is a bug report channel.
the gameplay is too slow. Make the ticks faster or something
I know, but that's intentional. I will increase the speed a little bit, but not by much. The game feels slow because there isn't much to do on a daily basis, that's what I think.
also you should add some sense of competition like in hardwere tycoon where you can see the market share of publishers and stuff
You basically can the only thing that matters isn't your company market share but it's actually the genre surprising right
rebellium can you make it so that you can make anything simple enough like buying a company making a cheap beta so i dont go bankrupt at 99 things like that
Yes, sure. Thanks for the feedback.
hi
wow, rebellion. Thank shortout for Processor tycoon. i am finally play new cpu tycoon replacement. NO offense for hardware tycoon. I been playing hardware tycoon for awfully long time
I couldn't stop playing pocessor tycoon. i played on my Chromebook in my school and even playing my home laptops on the house
same
Much better than any modern text-based management game out there. It may turned me down for the "corporatism" design, ykyk, but i'm not expecting it to be this good and much more immersive content! Great work devs!
The game has so much potential, really good. But if it was faster it would be even better
A mod for faster speed would be great
Uhhhhhhh⬇️
has anyone made a 5x speed mod?
You would run out of stuff quite quickly so you should probably wait until the game is bigger and isn't just everything is discontinued
How do i play? it says i need to pick the type of graphics but i need resesarch or something like that im confused
After picking a platform, you will need to choose a graphics type. The graphics section is collapsed, click on it to open it.
Thanks :)
this game is awesome I originally thought hardware tycoon was the best device game note can you add the abblity to update your games also abblity to put game on multiple devices
Yes, I can. I’m glad you enjoyed it. I played Hardware Tycoon, and it’s sad to see Haxor not being able to continue working on it.
Hey, Rebellium? Could you please include difficulty levels? I love the game, but I’m HORRIBLE at achieving success in this new version. I mean, absolutely AWFUL. Usually I go bankrupt between 1979-1985.

Maybe a tutorial for the noviciest novices? Thanks!
Hi, I will try to get the difficulty levels ready for the next version. No promises though. Thanks for the feedback.
Thank you!
Ironically, the decision to include difficulty levels is basic game design.
While you wait you should probably check the market in the beginning it makes a big difference (sorry I can't disable bold)
i love it, its super fun and simple BUT its super easy to break or loose all of your progress, i was playing, decided to go to the menu to export my save because i struggle with pc crashing, and after like doing this 4 times all my saves broke so uh
Oh, that’s not good. Do you play in the browser? Does the game crash, or is it your PC crashing?
downloaded the game, and yes its my pc crashing but its not the reason, its the reason i do backups but doing many backups broke all my saves, even the ones i did no backups on, i first lost like 1 hour of progress after my pc crashed, then i lost like 30min of progress when my new save broke, i do love the game tho but i just wish the backup stuff didnt break the saves
I know saves and backups are bad at the moment. I will try to make them better in the next version. Thanks for sharing your experience.
What!? Definitely a bug. Thanks for reporting it.
Yeah but I went bankrupt because of my way of getting a bunch of units XD currently at: 93% (in 1981) I wouldn't be surprised if the whole video game market just turned to this one gold standard Plus it would probably also be the only one to ever surface after you know 1978
Oh yeah also if you have any ideas of extending the discontinued state of the console by how much it sold I would not recommend it because of this thing only working with self-publishing enabled consoles okay if I sold I mean how many games for that console it sold since it's basically like that already if it's just the amount of the console sold
Going to do a couple more saves so there's going to be maybe around 10 replies
Okay okay I'm now at 97.5% I don't even get how there are still people trying to make different kinds of games it's just over for them
Hi! I want to see a feature implemented where PCs are one platform that gets better overtime.
Hi, I put it on my todo list.
Yeah that's a weak point after all there's only three and those are at the very beginning of the game (there might be a fourth later I can't quite remember after all my saves did get deleted)
Now that I'm thinking about it why don't we have like the PlayStation the Xbox like once you start making video game consoles yourself it could have another pop up like what kind of console do you want to create for your first and this won't be changeable until you unlock it and research which is only unlocked after three researches for that and these are like 100,000 research yes I know it sounds crazy but you already have two for 20,000
And don't forget to add things like toasters and cetera here's just some things that can be listed off ovens microwaves blenders those are for the kitchen of course TVs game consoles obviously
All my saves are gone after disabling (or maybe enabling?) the German mod for some reason it was enabled and now all my progress is gone
It’s probably the browser thinking there is not enough storage space, so I will delete the saves to make some. That’s my guess.
Considering that there were 15 I think saves that's honestly a good call lol
Dude, I was like, he is so pissed right now because the saves are gone. But 15 saves!
Well most of them were just bankrupt saves make them Auto delete if they're bankrupt at least I handled it petty well
It’s still a problem. I will try to fix it. At the very least, it should notify you that there is no more storage space before nuking the saves.
Happened again because of all my testing XD
For some reason, on my Ipad (Browser), there isn’t a way to access the actual game. It’s just the title screen. No matter what I click - nothing happens. There’s no start button, no clicking on the title, nothing. Can someone please help me? Or worst case scenario, can Rebellium please fix this bug?
Use Google Chrome it was developed for that one I'm sure Safari support is going to come eventually though
Alright. Thank you!
yes, safari, espcially on the ipad its really bad.
i have used it before a lot in version 1.3
i think it should get fixed, i will still test it on my ipad tomorrow.
you could probably try to use a different browser on the ipad.
i personally reccomend brave since it also has a strong adblocker.
Loans would sound good
Just got finished with 1997 and it seems like the end of the game...game(?) since everything is discontinued but I think we could maybe continue it with imaginary future consoles. oh and in the beginning I like the idea that you will be able to choose your location location could be the difficulty setting that everybody's been asking for where you start normally that's easy mode I mean it is quite easy or normal mode it's pretty hard I guess and then hard mode could be Europe everything that sells there is reduced by let's say a factor of 1.5 but can be changed like could be 1.2 or maybe actually just 2 and then like extreme mode would be Africa like what video games are there in Africa not to be mean but they're pretty underdeveloped there and I guess : Factor definitely 2 with your beginning cash decreased plus maybe some other arbitrary reductions. easy could be Japan where you start or everything's like normal but Japan and you start in 1983 because that's when Nintendo released the famicon (for some reason Google thinks I'm spelling this wrong even though Google thinks ((in speech to text)) yeah this is a word 🤷) AKA Nintendo entertainment system sorry for the giant block of text which is just what I think could be expanding the game
Great idea! I will probably expand the game into Europe and Japan first. I will try to fill in the gaps with more platforms between the 1970s and 2030s. It made me think, why not have more things happen after 2030? I won’t focus on that because it’s more speculative, but it’s an interesting idea.
you should look into the discord once, i think you would like to see al the ideas we have spun up in there (this beeing one of them just with a bit more detail. it would give quality changes in the products, change in what is liked in the country, change in the price for houses and way more.)

when i click play, load, or mods, nothing happens, in console it says
0.DmAhf8Dp.js:1 Uncaught (in promise) TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'apply') at console.debug (0.DmAhf8Dp.js:1:1407) at detectFunc (injection-tss.js?non…2kowkffw5q66:1:1048) at t.<computed> [as pushState] (injection-tss.js?non…l2kowkffw5q66:1:371) at Y (entry.k-kwZ1fo.js:1:18583)
im on a windows and on google chrome. can anyone help me fix this?
That’s an old and unused part of the game. For it to run, some other part of the game must have called console.debug. The thing is, it can never happen. There could be an extension that has injected some code, or Chrome might have done something weird. I tested it on Windows Chrome, and it was working on my side.
So, is there a fix for this? I’m sorry, but I don’t think there is. Your best bet is to disable extensions or try the Windows version.
after disabling a few extensions. i managed to find out that it was my malwarebytes browser guard extension that was the cause. thanks!
I made 80% of the video game market text-based racing games now I'm just going to make the ultimate game also racing. soon the video game market is just going to be me making racing games
Rq, small suggestion, make it save when you press exit to main menu
Ok so I dont want to sound dumb, but i'm struggling to make any money what so ever, anyone have any tips to getting started? I played before the last major update and found it easier then, but yeah im suddenly really bad and have no idea how to play :)
Try making really small games at first, crank the graphics to the lowest they will go and then add as many other features as you can, then spend ALL your money on marketing. Good luck, and God speed
(Also continue spending lots of money on marketing after the game has been out for a while, I made a game from 1978 earn 80 million dollars in 1994 by spending lots of money on marketing),
Edit: The game got updated apparently, maybe this isn't the ultimate guide then, I have not played the new update yet. whoops
The game let me continue a game where I went bankrupt with $4,000 in the bank when I'm pretty sure I would have negative money
The game lets you continue if you have money, But going bankrupt when you have $4,000?! Well that's a bug.
Well we know it's going bankrupt with a positive amount because it continues on to the next day
I love this update! Things I would like seen added or changed:
is there a way to cancel license does it end when they stop making it or does it charge you infinitely ??
There isn’t any way to cancel the license, but you only get charged annually if the platform is still on the market. When the platform discontinues, nothing will be charged.
Does hiring employee while already working on game have an effect on development speed? I'm really not sure, because researches were faster, but game development...
Research queue not quite intuitive, sometimes when you start new one, they apper after existing ones, and sometimes they take priority. Maybe it should be just in "First in-first out" order?
Hiring more employees should boost the development or research speed. Also, there is not any priority, it really depends on which project or research comes before the other one in memory.
Idea:
idk if your planning on this or if in the game Bc I have not played to far in
But what if later on in the tech tree you could unlock the ability to do multiple genres at once, like for the first upgrade you would unlock two at once and then the second one could be 3 at once. once you have multiple genres you can select the amount that you have unlocked (2-3)
and a slider would pop up and would chose how to evenly divide 100% into the genres you selected.
EXMP (50%ROLE PLAY-50%ACTION)
or (35% Adventure-35% Puzzle-30 Racing)
-Also more genres
It’s planned for the next major update.
Lets Go, Keep working hard your game is great! :)
btw statistics page so I can check like total money made and lost and stuff like that would be to show of to friends.
OMG NEW UPDATE LETS GOOOOOOO!
I like the game so far and have suggestions:
I agree with requests to have a "make time go even faster than the fast button" button, and theorange4's comments about revamping the employee screen.
After I click the button to hire a new employee, I'd like to have the new hire's stats show up in a popup window or smth with "Keep or Axe" buttons since right now I have to click on them (after scrolling down a long list if I have a bunch of employees) and decide whether they're worthy. If you think it would help add a strategy element, maybe you could have a finite labor pool and if you Axe someone they're gone for good, so players can't just reject anyone with less than 20 stat points. With new potential hires gradually trickling in over time if you exhaust the labor pool.
I'd like to be able to ditch a project or a research track if it's becoming clear it will take forever, or the console gets discontinued, or just because I feel like it.
I also ran into the bug where if I go back to the main menu and then continue a game, time doesn't start until I go to a submenu (make a new game, research, or smth) and then come back to the top level gameplay screen.
In the plots of game sales on the top level screen, I'd like to see numbers for current monthly revenue and units sold (not just plots without y-axis scale indicators).
Also, in this game I made a gamejam game in 2 days with text-only graphics at lowest possible quality and no advertising and it was a multimillion dollar smash. I want to find the place this game world is based on.
I will consider your suggestion for the next update. The game needs another revamp, some players find it super easy to make millions, while others ask me to lower the difficulty. I have fixed that bug, although it will be some time before the next version is out.
I agree with everything that 3p0ch said. But personally, I think that the game is too easy, I am at 1.08B right now, and have only released 6 games and all my games have more than 25 million units sold, one of them has 135 million units sold. Also, the research page is a little annoying because unless you hover over the item, you don't know if you have researched it already, there should be some sort of overlay or sprite that shows you it has been unlocked.
the news section is also not very clear, there should be notifications that well tell you important news
there also should be achievements, so the player gets a better sense of progression and achievement.
Well I have some with 10 billion that means some people had to buy it twice there's only 8 billion people in the world not even counting that I'm in the year 200_
Ha, you're assuming that every person on earth has one of the consoles that can play the game. But the most units of one console sold (That I have seen) Is about 25 million, so if you get the amount of games you sold to that console (10 Billion) and divide it by the amount of consoles (25 million) then you get about 400 copies of the game per console.... I guess its a pretty good game if each person buys it about 400 times.
Yes but I was being extra generous but just imagine "why are you buying your 400th copy like you have 399 like come on you spent almost $1,000 on these!"
Can you make it so that you can update your game?
Sure, sequels and franchises are planned. Maybe in the next major update?
Can you make this a little easier? Or atleast add a difficulty level?
I highly recommend starting with smaller games, otherwise, your first playthrough will probably end in bankruptcy.
Thanks!
I’m not exactly sure if I’m doing something wrong or if this is intentional, but being a Mac user, I cannot download this to play on my computer, or play this on web, as when I open up the game, the only things that show up is the name of the game, audio, full screen, and language buttons, there is no start or play button so I can play. If you can possibly fix that, that would be great!
That’s not intentional; it’s definitely a bug. Unfortunately, I don’t own a Mac to test it on Safari. It could be something with the WebKit browser engine. I will try to fix it somehow. However, if you are able to, I would love to see some screenshots or peek around the developer tools of the browser to check if the buttons are actually there but fall outside of the view or are hidden.
Use google chrome. I am on a Mac, I had the same problem, then I changed to chrome, and now it works.
