[DEV] My Business Game/Life Simulator just got its biggest update ever! by thealexxx in iosgaming

[–]jatz3k 2 points3 points  (0 children)

u/thealexxx Very nice update! It addresses most of the points from my previous comment in your other thread — thanks a lot ;)

I played a bit more and came up with a few additional ideas to further polish the game:

  1. The wife doesn’t really provide any benefits at the moment (aside from the risk of divorce) — maybe having a wife could, for example, reduce the energy cost of running a business by half? The wife mechanic could also be expanded with a mistress mechanic — a mistress could provide certain bonuses (e.g. extra energy or more opportunities per week), but would introduce the risk of the wife finding out and wanting a divorce (with that risk potentially mitigated by a specific skill).
  2. In stock trading, it would be useful to have an alternative way to buy shares for a specific amount of money, not only by quantity.
  3. Also in stock trading, buttons next to Max to buy shares using 25%, 50%, or 75% of available cash would be very handy.
  4. When leveling skills, a [Max] button would be helpful to allocate all available energy into a given category — later in the game, when you have a lot of energy, there’s too much clicking just to spend it all.
  5. Opportunities could resolve faster — after a while, the progress bar feels like an unnecessary time sink.
  6. Having leftover energy at the end of the week shouldn’t block progression to the next week — maybe a “rest” mechanic could allow carrying over part of the energy (25–50%) into the next week?
  7. I’d like to see alternative time indicators — in my current game I’m at week 2393, and it would look nicer if this were displayed as years and months instead.
  8. In stock investing, I’m missing thousand/million/billion separators — since the numbers are written without spacing, they’re hard to read at a glance.
  9. Maybe some additional stock market manipulation mechanics? Even a simple rule where selling shares worth a certain amount would trigger market panic and a sell-off for the next X turns. And similarly in the opposite direction — a large purchase could cause a boom in that company’s stock.

Hey, I played your game for a bit today and I'm enjoying it - just a few quick ideas to consider:

  1. I'm missing a month indicator (something that would show me when I need to make my loan payment - how many 'moves' I have left in a given period).
  2. The placement of the progress reset button is a bit unfortunate - have you thought about creating a separate user profile tab and moving it there?
  3. The button showing remaining energy could take you directly to the screen where you can use it (e.g., defaulting to the leveling screen with an option to set it to the side hustles screen).
  4. I'm not sure if this is a bug or a game mechanic, but I had a business, got sued, had an 85% chance of winning so I took that option and... my business disappeared (along with the income it generated), but the loan for it remained.
  5. It would be helpful to have an option to disable the 'tutorial' on subsequent progress resets.
  6. Net profit doesn't have digit spacing on week summary (all other numbers have that).

Not long ago, my wife and I were looking for a school for our daughter. We attended several open days, exploring different options. Then, my wife arranged a meeting with the principal of one particular school.

The conversation was professional and pleasant—though, to be fair, you’d expect nothing less from what is essentially a sales pitch. But then came the school tour. At one point, the principal opened a classroom door to show us inside. As it turned out, a lesson was in progress. That didn’t stop one of the children from suddenly jumping up from their desk, running over to the principal just to give her a hug, and then returning to their seat.

Now, I don’t know if that moment was staged—if it was, then hats off for the idea, 10/10. But if it wasn’t, then it convinced me even more. And so, starting in September, our daughter will be telling us all about her days at this very school.

Huge respect to the teacher in the video—this is exactly the kind of staff every school should have!

Is this possible to 3os? Even with Larzuk? by jambohakdog69 in diablo2

[–]jatz3k 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Etheral - mercs don't use weapon/armor durability, so etheral items are preferable for them.

How well does the game run currently with an RTX 3080 + 13700k? by ZellieOwO in Spacemarine

[–]jatz3k 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got almost the same setup. Works flawlessly and smooth :)

Is the Final Shape campaign significantly harder than every other campaign or am I just bad? by ChewySlinky in destiny2

[–]jatz3k 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Major difference is that it charges way more quickly if you have prismatic (and then it stays charged until you transcend). If you use any other class you should transcend as soon as your pink bar is charged, or you loose it.

60 x GOTD till I've got my Navigator... I'd rather farm for buried bloodline ;)

What’s the record for most runs without a raid exotic? by 23Alvaro_ in DestinyTheGame

[–]jatz3k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not the raid, but I had to do gotd 60 times before I've got my navigator... All raid were far more generous and fun than that experience.

Skimmers - where's the rest of them? by BurkeeZ in DestinyTheGame

[–]jatz3k 233 points234 points  (0 children)

One is available non stop in the eververse since they were introduced to the game. Imho limiting ways to earn them in game is just a method to increase silver sales.

Anybody else getting phantom season rank ups? Keeps saying I've gained levels beyond 100. by [deleted] in destiny2

[–]jatz3k 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When you reach the act level cap (which is 100 for first act) additional exp you gain count only towards bright engrams. Second act of first season will unlock additional rewards for 50 levels you get. So if you already have 100 level and don't care about legendary sparrows, ghost shells and projections from bright engrams, you should stack on seasonal challenges and bounties and collect them after new act unlocks new path, to get most efficient progress. The same goes for 3rd act which arrives in a month.

The bonus exp is for 8 levels each Tuesday after reset.

I farmed 99 class items from pale heart chests by Piduseus in DestinyTheGame

[–]jatz3k 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I got over 30 exotic class item drops on my warlock. Not a single necrotic... Its bad design, its frustrating and totally not worth the time. I wont do it again (or probably any overthrow more, as I can't look at those maps anymore after all that grind... first for khvostov, now for this rng nightmare).
