And can we get more ways to rise the hype, im not sure how... oh! maybe we could promote the new song and realese teaser and pics, that would be really cool! Im sorry for all the recommendations im making, i just love this game soooo much!(^3^)
Idol Manager is a business sim about conquering the entertainment industry using any means you deem necessary. · By
I have not been playing the game for a few months now.
Is the auto toggle still a checkbox with that weird UI (refer to https://itch.io/post/608381)?
If yes, can I suggest using switch instead of checkbox? like this image below
Some suggestions I have:
- Other people have mentioned this but facilities/trainers are realllly expensive and you need them for singles so you pretty much have to cheat in the beginning, and I think for a new idol group singles would be the most important thing?
- A cool mechanic down the road would possibly be music videos, maybe with a little minigame like concerts? Possibly picking the theme of the video to match the song or something like that.
- Debuts for new idols/subgroups would be nice
- More fan interaction, like fan clubs, stans for each of your popular idols, having them try to raise views on music videos/getting more people to buy singles...
- I tentatively want a bit of a boost in how much a stat increases based on the level of the trainer, possibly also scaled to how high the stat is on the idol. This could easily be really unbalanced though which is why I'm tentative, maybe down the road when you have more stuff for idols to do/train in it could work. However I think it would tie into how if you took some girl from a backwater town and gave her world class dance and vocal training she would improve pretty quickly.
I think you should be able to demolish a room that you no longer use. If someone made a room in a spot they didn't want or it didn't fit
within their budget, it would be very useful. Should able to do this at no extra cost (you lose the money you spent on building the room though) or
maybe even recover 25-50% of what you spent on it.
Being able to move you rooms around freely would be cool but it's probably a bit over the top cos that's very unrealistic and a little too convenient but it's an idea.
Oh, something else that I thought might be cool is the concept of "preferred positions". You can currently choose where they stand on stage and I think it's quite detailed already but adding something like stat boosts if you put them at their preferred position would be cool (e.g their preferred position is to the left of the center)
Following the concept of "preferred positions", there could also be like "roles", e.g main vocal, main dancer. If they are the "main vocal", their "vocals" stat has more weight on the success of the single/performance and for "main dancer", dance stat has more weighting. The 'leader" role could be done based on age/experience, the more suited they are to it, the better overall performance the group would give. The roles should be optional but if you do choose to use them, the idols who are the "main vocal" or "main dancer" should get more exposure and the others should get less.
I've been playing a lot the last few days and have been enjoying the game quite a bit. Looking forward to new updates! Even more excited for the switch version :P, keep up the great work!
I think it would be really useful to prioritize which actions your idols take. A lot of times I see idols doing auto-styling, when it would really be better for them to be recovering stamina at a doctor.
I want to rank activity priority like:
1. Recover stamina
2. Practice dance/singing
3. Styling
More precise control following this type of logic would be even better:
If under 50 physical stamina: Always recover physical stamina
If under 50 mental stamina: Always recover mental stamina
If over 50 stamina of either type: Practice dance/singing, if those are maxed then styling
This game doesn't have a tutorial for the first timer player. When the idol have many stars, the stamina got down very fast and the doctor was only reducing the idol's stamina in some moment. Also, there is a bug that when i went to bankrupt, my money got added 100 million and the game still continue with not the ability to make media show.
Overall, the game is good. Good luck with the release in Steam.
Right now our only options for controlling trainers are either completely random, or completely manual. Manual is a particular PITA in the case of stylists... hitting that tiny square where dropping the idol will get the proper styling is frustrating.
I'd like to see a "max training level" setting, which would allow you to concentrate your trainers on the girls with the lowest stats (and bring everyone to an equal minimum standard).
I really love playing this game and sink a lot of time into a group and think I can do this better and restart.
This may have been suggested before, but I would like the ability to choose whether my group is male or female or maybe even mixed. I know that this is a J Pop SIM, but with how big BTS is I think that having the ability to make a boy group would be great.
QoL Suggestions
1. Doctors, Auto Stamina Recovery, split that between physical health and mental health. I don't want my physical health doctor working with mental patients and vice versa.
2. Doctors, Auto Injury/Depression Treatment, split that between injury and depression. I don't want my physical health doctor working with depression patients and vice versa.
3. Auto Production. This would be great to have so I don't have to pay attention to getting individual productions completed and focus on other things.
4. Wish Fulfillment. Seeing the this info during business proposal is great. It'd be awesome if this was extended to media, concerts, singles and elections.
5. Media, being able to check who the cast are.
I really wish there would be an option, to choose between managing a boy group, and a female group in the base game some day. Of course there's already a person that is kind enough to make a mod for that (really appreciated), but I kinda wish that wouldn't just be an option obtained through mods. I don't think you guys have to think about that now (as there's probably a lot of things that are in a much higher priority), but I really hope that it is feature you would consider adding to the game some day
Hi im just here to tell you something i personally want but i dont know if everyone would want it
I kinda hoped there would be a trainee stage thats in between being casted and debuting
and with that, mentoring would make a bit more sense- and ive wanting to name my label as well.
and this is random but if we can take control of their hiatus time too , itd be more storyline for us to work with.
and I agree about the international idol's traits because right now there isnt anything in the game to differentiate
them from the local idols, maybe a change in looks for the international would be great too- nothing too drastic
but like change in eye color or hair color would be fun
I think that had like when you are in a concert or single, when you are in formation and you choose a character, you can see a little descrpition of him, it would be nice to had in the description his will ( for me it's boring to see on my character list where my character want to be for claim his wishes ), and i think that it should pretty easy to add . I think that when a a girl from office LVL up her competence DEALS , she should have like a better chance for negotiations because it's boring when she is LVL max for this competence, and she failed ( didn't need to be like at 100 % LVL max but i think that every LVL up, she have a 2,5 % bonus for negotiations to be accepted, so if it's 55 % for 2 stars, for 10 stars / LVL max then it's 75 % . It's not cheated, but this is legit :p ) . And also keep up your excellent work :-)
