Idol Manager is a business sim about conquering the entertainment industry using any means you deem necessary. · By
There is a Aavatar mismatch between the menu list avatar and the Audition/Salary avatar
There seems to be a dupe glitch for idols. When setting them into formation, you can click rapidly on a face and it will replace the spot with another idol even though that idol has already been selected. It seems that the stats also apply to the song as well, per idol you have duped. I only have six idols hired at this moment.
There's a bug in loans:
- Go to Loans - Bank, type in the maximum amount
- Go to Fujimoto and you can lend the bank's maximum (10x more) from Fujimoto at 0% intrest rate.
The idols that you are "pushing" disappeared when you close the game and then continue the same game save
When you choose three new idols to push, the old three idols you have pushed before you close the game cannot be selected. (The following picture shown that only Momona and Anju's name card can be selected be cause they are either not being pushed now, or not being pushed before the game is saved and closed. The other idols name card is slightly darker and cannot be selected)
I can not advance beyond the concert level even though I have held multiple concerts. I reached multiple milestones beyond that but I can not move past the concert objective that is still greyed out. The bug might also apply to world tours, since I have had one of those as well.
If an idol is currently practicing vocals or dance, they sometimes can't be added to a concert lineup (neither songs nor talk breaks work). Not sure what triggers it, it doesn't seem to happen consistently.
Edit: This also happens when adding idols to lineups for media (internet, tv, radio shows). Exact same problem, idols currently practicing can't be selected.
Does time progress in your game? Like, do days change in the bottom left? It could be a bug
You should get research points when a staffer is assigned to a room and they don't have any tasks (like training or producing singles)
Maybe you can't hire anyone because you don't have enough money, you can take a loan by clicking on your office (or there's a cheat - press Y to get 1M)
Aha! It wasn't intuitive for me (perhaps it was me). I thought that "HIRE" was more of a title not a button.
Two things
1: I exceeded the 2.147b mark for revenue at a concert, causing it to turn into a negative and give me a 2.3b loss instead of profit. It still came up green on "revenue" as if it didn't realise.
2: I got this event (picture below) but none of the options worked when I clicked on them and I was forced to close the game.
First of all, there's a known bug in this version that breaks the game for users in some regions, setting your date format to English might help: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Dvv-hiBXQAE_JU5.jpg
But generally, this is how you make singles:
1. Click the play button in the bottom left. If days don't change, then it's definitely a bug.
2. Build rooms, hire staff, drag and drop them into the rooms
3. Wait until they earn enough research points. Unlock a genre, etc in the Research tab
4. In the singles tab, click the green button at the top "New Single". Enter single's title. Select genre, choreography, lyrics and marketing options. If it's not a digital single, enter number of copies
5. Drag and drop idols into formation
6. Drag and drop the single into rooms with staffers (make sure they're not busy with training idols or something else)
7. After all 4 staffers are done, click Release. If you don't have enough money to release the single, you can take a loan by clicking on your Producer and selecting "Loan"
Both my producer and managers research points are in the negative.
