Thanks!

My vision is: 

There'd be a "Default release behaviour" selector in the ingame "Options" menu, with the options "automatic" and "manual"

There'd also be a "Override release behaviour" selector in the "CPU Design" menu, which is set to the value of "Default release behaviour" by default, but the player can change it so that they can choose which products they want to release later. 

If release behaviour is manual, a player who wants to release a completed product would go to a new "Unreleased" tab of the "Products" menu and click the "Release" button on the product tile. 

If release behaviour is automatic, then the product will release automatically once it's finished (this is the current behaviour of the game). 

Here is my concept for a few updates:

1. New! R&D labs. Has some extra money lying around? Spend some money on an R&D lab, they can generate many more research points than an office can, so there great for researching. They can be very expensive (Up to 5M) but they are worth it!

Other ideas:

Skill tree. Change research so it’s not just picking the best one, but instead you gotta decide what you want to prioritize.

Binning: Manufacturing isn’t perfect, so turn the defects into cheaper products.

Increasing costs based on inflation (Brownian motion with a random but sensible boom-bust cycle (linear) and changes based on tax changes).

Other products:

CPU:

New! Boost clock

New! Contracts from GPU makers for iGPUs (based on what the company’s doing)

Research technologies (Overclocking, etc)

New! Multithreaded

BASIC LOGIC:

Transistors

Block based drag’n’drop building. (Blocks made from transistors or smaller blocks)

RAM:

DRAM or SRAM

Memory chips and sets.

2 sided RAM research.

Start with SRAM, then research DRAM

Standards: For ex. DDR4

ROM:

Different types.

Singular chips.

Also, I would love it if you extended the campaign another 10 or 15 years or so including an option to start the company at basic logic IC’s or ROM in 1960, later unlocking RAM (DRAM and SRAM) (in 1965).

I hope this helps!

Maybe save the last design that was aborted because the window is closed, If I close the design window, it is mostly because I don't have the funds and either have to wait for money or get money from the bank, then I will create the same CPU.

Maybe also add some stats and maybe even descriptions to the research, that way it is easier for people who a new to the game to understand what that pieces of research will do, and it should allow players to plan better.
For example, show the stat of what the max possible clock for the dip is in a description.
It allows people to better plan their research and explains the point of researching this item for new players.

It would also be nice to see the stats of the competitor's products, while this is not really that important, considering the news are good, it would be nice to see the stats of their CPU's

Thank you for taking the time to read this!

I wish you great success!

Here is my concept for an update:

1. New! Offices. (No office management please keep it simple) You can now buy offices and hire people in those offices to work on your products

When you want to hire you to choose 2 things. Qualifications, and budget. The qualifications you can choose are.  Low Budget (Best with low end), price to performance (Good with medium), and Enterprise (Good with high). There may be others like ARM (For arm chips), etc. Then you pick your budget (Up to 1M). Then you get shown the best matches. It shows skill level with each qualification (Higher skill in all the higher the budget). The qualification you choose will show up first (for example: if you pick enterprise you will get people that are good with enterprise, and maybe some other things). You will also get years of experience, and their rating (1 to 5 stars) shows how quickly they work. Higher stars means faster.

When you have a lot of people of similar talent on a team they can create low/medium/high end products in their category quicker.

2. New! Teams. You create a team by combing offices together so they can work together on a project. example: Low-End CPU team. You can always assign only one office to a job, but a team can combine offices to do things faster

3. New! Create multiple products at once, each team can work on one at a time.

4. New! R&D labs. Has some extra money lying around? Spend some money on an R&D lab, they can generate much more research points than an office can, so there great for researching. They can be very expensive (Up to 5M) but they are worth it!

5. New! Pick what the CPU is aimed at, low end, medium end, and high end. 

Other ideas:

Stocks. Put your company on the stock market. Sell shares for extra profit, and get your value higher and higher.

Skill tree. Change research so it's not just picking the best one, but instead you gotta decide what you want to prioritize. 

Manufacturing. When your CPU is done you can pay another company to manufacture, or when you start to become rich you can buy your own manufacturing facility. This will allow you to cut down costs

Profit margin. On the create CPU page in between the cost to make and the selling price put a little profit margin, that tells you your profit margin.

Other products:

CPU:

New! Boost clock

New! Integrated graphics

Research technologies (Overclocking, etc)

New! Multithreaded   

GPU:

Research speed, memory, size (ex: 10nm), and technology (RTX, VR, etc)

RAM:

Research speed, size, and type (ex DDR4)

HDD:

Research speed, and size

PSU:

Research power, and quality

MOBO:

Research ports, and technologies

LAPTOPS:

Put your own (much cheaper) or others parts together (more expensive but a lot easier) to make your own laptop. Research size, trackpad, features (Backlit, touch bar, touchscreen) screen specs, battery, and speakers.

Laptop tycoon is a good game that may help give you inspiration

PREBUILTS:

Make your own prebuilts. 

Put your own (much cheaper) or others parts together (more expensive but a lot easier) to make your own prebuilt pc.

Research fans, and case.

Also, I would love it if you extended the campaign another 10 or 15 years or so.

Hopes this helps!

:)

One thing I would like to see is the ability to develop multiple CPUs at once. An example is when you go to create a CPU, you have an option to make a single or multiple CPUs and sell it as a "Series", with each CPU making their own sales.

}

Yes, the library hasn't been created yet, but it would be interesting to see this in the mod tool itself!
(this could be added in 0.3 :eyes:)

Anyways, cheers!

2- GPUs and memory type.

3- mobile phones and PC compnents. ( check out samsung they have their own fabs )

4- supercomputers and mainframes.

lastly can you put details in the tech tree maybe the history and technical detail. I hope I am not asking for a lot but thanks for all your hard work.

Total monopoly on tech industry.

+Add in the next version finally quad core and 1ghz and more.

+How about making graphic cards too ? Integraded and normal one too that would be awesome and adding a new side to the game.

+Opinions from the outside world not just from that one reviewer, you know like you can see what other people think so that means getting a reputation bar

And welcome to:

Ninedays suggestions!

Let's begin with the Suggestions!

You should be able to make technologies like Cores, Clock speed, set the "multiplier" for them, and you can put them in the R&D Bar "The thing where you can research stuff" And the Year, what comes before, RP needed, XP Needed, Competitors, Better Socket making.

Edit:

You should also be able to set "multipliers" on the main game stuff, like taxes, sales, research.

I just wanna make small stuff, more stuff inside of smaller stuff, and so on.

But also i don't want my character to be standing doing nothing. It would be cool if when you research something you could see your character searching on the computer but also taking notes or when you create a cpu your character has a toolbox and some sort of "tries" to modify a cpu.

Another fun thing to add would be to be able to choose your company's main color. Because when you go into the market you can choose what the color of your company will be like. I don't always want to stick with red.

- Save the latest parameters for CPU build and Marketing
- Pay the taxes for each product produced and sold
and just say at the end of the year how much was spent in taxes instead of "KABOUM TAXES!!"
- There is at the moment no interest in using different Brand names
- The purpose to produce a kind of chip rather than another is not pushed forward, especially when we have 100% of the market

BugFix :

- CPU Clock number is restored but not the unit. And when we switch to MHz it changes the number to 0.
- Popularity can go over 100%
- Even if we sell no products at all, the market can be empty from opponents

Functionalities :

- Allow us to sell multiple products at the same time
- Allow us to see the history of Market in a chart (X=time, Y=%ofMarket, various lines for each Product or Brand)
- Have more uses for current banking
- Unlock more products in research as the time goes on
- Making a huge mistake does not reduce the popularity (like selling a shitty processor after selling only decent ones over a decade)
- Show the market on the left side of the screen, to avoid always going to market and missing big events
- Have a "News" tab on the upper part to be informed right away when something important happens - new products, concurrent stopping

Comments :

- There is a lack of final objective, it sounds like an infinite game, but after some time the game ends since there is no more research to do and no battle for concurrent

.Second make a difference between clock speed and turbo speed

.Third add ram type support and mother board chip support

.Fourth add different data path types like 32bit and 64bit

.Fifth add threads

.Sixth add integrated graphics

.Seventh add bundle like coolers 

.Eighth add overclock support

I had more ideas but those are the ones i currently remember, i know this is a lot and will be hard but a few f these would still be good :)

1. Cache memory. Pretty much explains it.

2. 8/16/32/64 bit data paths.

3. TDP for thermals and power consumption.

Yes, I know, it's a very stupid suggestion in general, but I wanted to be of some help and ironically, this was the best way I could find a way to help.

RAM, GPU, Motherboard and ARM CPUs

Thank You
