  • 1, 2, 3: time speed
  • Spacebar: pause/resume
  • Right mouse button: close/open side tab
  • Middle mouse button: open next side tab
  • M : mute the music

The beta also includes some debugging tools that are essentialy "cheats". Full list of shortcuts:

Press F7 five times to unlock cheats

  • ~ (Tilde key) : trigger a dialog (some dialogues require a certain number of idols or staffers)
  • Z : trigger an audition (local)
  • X : trigger an audition (regional)
  • C : trigger an audition (worldwide)
  • Y: add ¥1M
  • F : add 100 fans
  • P : add 1000 research points of each type
  • U : unlock all genres for producing singles

How do we trigger dialogue on a Mac keyboard (that does not have a Tilde key)?

Developer

For me it works when I press the " [ ] ~ ' " key next to the left shift. If you don't have it then I'm not sure, I'll add some other key in the next update.

is there a new updated now right now?

Hmmm triggering a dialogue doesnt work for me with the Tilde Key.

idk if it should be reported here or in bugs but whenever I use the U key it makes it so i cant produce singles.

  • U : unlock all genres for producing singles

Hello everybody! i don't know if the dev will aprove or not but you can change some value inside your save files!

For example you can change your Idols Name, spec, stamina, you can even change her apparence! (i think it's a start for apparence mods)

You can even change single title, revenue for a contract and many more! i'll gladly help if someone is interested!

(+1)

I would definitely be interested in how to change the appearance of the idols!  The ones I get with the good stats are always the ones that don't look that great

Developer(+4)

Okay, first you need to open your save file with a text editor. Save files are here:
Win: C:\Users\*username*\AppData\LocalLow\Glitch Pitch\Idol Manager\data
Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/Glitch Pitch/Idol Manager/data/

Find your idol in data_girls__Girls and find her "textureAssets". You can change her appearance by editing "asset_id" parameters. You can get IDs from this folder: *game_folder*\IM_Data\StreamingAssets\Textures\IdolPortraits

"textureAssets": [
                {
                    "type": 0,  <- Body
                    "asset_id": "0 5 0"
                },
                {
                    "type": 1, <- Hair
                    "asset_id": "1 5 1" <- First number = same as "type". Second number = Body ID. Third number = Asset ID.
                },
                {
                    "type": 2, <- Face
                    "asset_id": "2 5 1"
                },
                {
                    "type": 3, <- Accessory
                    "asset_id": "3 5 0"
                }
            ],

Thank you so much for the quick response, Sadambober!

Can I do this on the fly? Or I have to kill the game before editing save files?

Developer

Yep, you can (except for auto_save.json)

Any way to heal the idols? I dont know if its a bug, but they are suddenly all mentaly at 0 even tho things are going well. Cant survive for half a year like that :D

Developer(+2)

You can try editing your save file

Open it with a text editor and find "data_girls__Girls". In "parameters" of each girl find "type":"8" (phys stamina) and "type":"9" (mental stamina) and set their "_val" to "100".

Save files are here:
Win: C:\Users\*username*\AppData\LocalLow\Glitch Pitch\Idol Manager\data
Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/Glitch Pitch/Idol Manager/data/

Is it Permeant?   

I'm super Dyslexic. I spent 3 mins staring at you comment trying figure out....
"What does he mean is it Pregnant?"
If you don't know what Dyslexia is. google it. Its a reading/writing thing.

Nono DerpTime, he means Permanent.


I don't think it's permanent but I sure will try, gonna edit my message then.

Edit: Answer is no, it's not Permanent

Hopefully these will survive into the finished game...   I just now have my first profitable agency, in a large part because I played several "cheaty" games and learned how the game works.  (Not that you can cheat in a single player game anyhow.)

Is there any new cheats?

Is there a cheat that gives you more than 1m? I need a lot more money and pressing y over and over again gets annoying 😭

Developer

You can just edit your save file. Save files are the .json files here:

  • Windows: C:\Users\*username*\AppData\LocalLow\Glitch Pitch\Idol Manager\data\
  • Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/Glitch Pitch/Idol Manager/data/

Open the file with a text editor (notepad or whatever), in the beginning of the file there should be something like "resources__Resources":[ {"Type":"0", "Val":"5000000"}

You can change the value here and save the file.

Hi sadambober,

I am currently unable to find the save files in this address as you instructed:

  • Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/Glitch Pitch/Idol Manager/data/

I would like to edit my save file but can't seem to find it anywhere.

P.S. btw I think that there should also be a shortcut button for stamina increase and a way to skip a few weeks ahead ahaha 

Developer

Do you not have this folder at all or are there no files inside? You should at least have auto_save.json

>a way to skip a few weeks

You can press E to speed up the game, you can press it multiple times to make it really fast, there's no limit

I do not have this folder in library at all...

I checked the contents of the icon itself but no files there remotely appear like a save file. Strange because I actually have two saves available as we speak while I play. I just don't know where the game put it

I’ve changed it but it’s not working for me

(+2)

I just found new keyboards:

S : increase idol fame.

B : randomly increase or decrease your relationship ( friendship, love, influence) with a random girl

anymore?

(+1)

is there a cheat so I  can level up my staff?

f3

what about for mac?

Try using Fn+F7 5x to activate the cheats.

I tried it, it doesn’t work for me 😭

Do you hear a sound effect when you press those keys 5 times in a row? Do you have the latest build of the game installed? (Beta 20, Version 48)

yes I have the latest update

The dev probably won't approve this but is there a way to increase your chances of getting a platinum idol via game files?

(+1)

I am trying to compile a comprehensive list of debug/ cheat  keys, but I seem to be missing a few, hope someone can answer my question.

Press F7 five times to unlock cheats

  • ~ (Tilde key) : trigger a dialog (some dialogues require a certain number of idols or staffers)
  • Z : trigger an audition (local)
  • X : trigger an audition (regional)
  • C : trigger an audition (worldwide)
  • Y: add ¥1M
  • F : add 100 fans
  • P : add 1000 research points of each type
  • U : unlock all genres for producing singles
  • S: Increase all idols' fame level
  • B: Random  relationship buff and debuff for random idol (Careful not to lose all your affinity levels with the idols when using this)
  • F1: ?
  • F2: ?
  • F3:  Resetting the idols' stamina
  • F4: ?
  • F9: Not exactly a cheat, but the assets on the game seem to refresh, not sure what else does it do to impact the game in anyway
Developer
  • F1 - It used to trigger elections, but probably doesn't work right now
  • F2 - Reset special events cooldowns
  • F4 - Remove all scandal points
  • F5/F9 - Quick save/load

will it work for mac?

Developer

Yeah, for mac it should be press Fn+F7 five times, then Fn+F2 etc instead of just F2

F9 could be used if you're testing texture mods and don't want to restart the game? :O

Need a cheat to cancel graduation 

can anyone post a list of traits available in the game... also the sexy and cool stats seems to max out depending on age and averages out along your other stats

Here's a pastebin with the content of traits.json, including all 39 traits' names and descriptions.
