Hi, I just got that werid situation, when less than a month after the start of the game, all my Idols suddenly had five stars fame (it happened once before but it was to ten stars) and as you may guess it, in the beginning it's almost impossible to sustain the cost of such renowned idols ... (and I didn't release a single yet.)

Wishes and requirements are not fulfilling. I have released new singles that should fulfill wishes and they still haven't also. I also fulfilled the requirement to get a new loan and I still cannot get it (I have a loan amount available).

When you complete a wish you have to click on it in the tasks section to complete it, same with loan requirements

Yeah I ended up figuring it out haha. Thanks

I just got the game and I encountered a bug when I would drag an idol to socialize and it just says "Planning a date"

That is the text that shows when the socialize event is processing

I can't open the game. Every time I do it goes to the graphic settings and when I press play it says that Idol Manager is not responding. This happens every time I try to play. Any Ideas why? (Happens with both the 32 and 64 bit. I have tried every graphic setting too. And sometimes it starts but it takes a long time and even if I get to the title screen it will still freeze and say not responding. I waited a long time for it to respond but it never did

Do you still have this issue after the update? Have you ever played the game before or is it your first time?

If it worked before you can try deleting (or renaming) the save folder C:\Users\*username*\AppData\LocalLow\Glitch Pitch\Idol Manager, apparently this helped someone

fyi you can always contact itch.io support to get a refund: https://itch.io/support

Ok that worked. Thank you so much

I made a new save file for the new story mode. I closed the game during an event (specifically the start of the local gameshow event), but now when I reopen my save file i can't continue the story in the tasks. It's like it has changed my save file into freeplay mode. I also tried to revert it back to when I started the save file, but I still can't continue the story mode.

The exact same thing happened to me, If you discover how to fix it, let me know :)

I had the same issue, but I had to fiddle around inside my save file to fix it.

In my case, I had to open up my save file,  scroll down to "data_dialogues_Data," find the last story event listed there, and deleted that off of my file. I made a backup in case something went wrong, loaded up the new file, and used the cheat (~) to manually start up the event, and it worked.

I dunno if this'll work for you guys, but it worked for me. I did end up a few story events back from where I actually was, but everything seemed to play out as it was supposed to. I think I ended up sidestepping the issue by allowing an older story chapter to trigger instead, so this probably isn't an actual fix, so if anyone could find a better solution, that'd be much appreciated.

Developer

I think you could also do F7 -> "story_chapter_0_15" and it should continue normally

(1 edit)

i tried the "F7" but only loads the background of the event nothing else loads :/
I'll try editing my safe and let you know what happend ;)

same happened to me too. In case of that lot of sidequests n new stuff to explore, i had bout 5 hours of gameplay until i saw the "storymode" wasnt available anymore :)

In the dating mechanism, after getting to about the 4th level it prompted an event where the idol confronted the player about going private or something along those lines. Instead of having the idol who was at the 4th dating level, it pulled some random idol who I hadn't talked to. The only similarity was that they had the same shirt. Sorry I can't give any other details, I was just so confused  as to what in the world was happening.

Great work though, it's an awesome and unique game. Thanks for sticking with it!

had a dating issue too, after having 3 dates working well ( the initial -restaurant- one, the aquarium and the game area ) the 3rd one i tried ( i think it was the libary one ) it just didnt show up any action/dialog/window and did stay in management mode. After loading older savegames, even the dates which did work before, didnt work anymore. After clicking "invite on a date" it just hits me back on management screen without something happening.

but so far, i love it :D hope its getting fixed soon =)

My idols aren't posting on SNS or Streaming. I was wondering if thats a bug or if it should be working. I have my settings set to controlled streams and monitored posts but there hasn't been any actions? Do i need to get to a certain fame level or something else?

(+1)

it doesn't tell you when they post but you can get passive income from streaming.

I can't seem to use cheat anymore.  :(

How do I enable cheat I tried using f3 and it won't work.

Guess all my idol going to suffer from  depression and   injury.

Developer

You now need to press F7 five times to unlock cheats

Thank you you save my entire career 😢

On story mode in May I click on click here to continue the story and nothing happens even tho it's a green button. No story further. I went to load so I could go to the story again and click on that button (because after I loaded button was there again) and the same thing happened. No story at all. I had to make a new group after that I started a new story and this didn't happen again. Just with one of my saved files this happened, which is sad because I liked that group better I had better members in thag group.

Hello, 

I am having trouble with the story progression. I just got to the part where my rival told me he recommended me for this show. When that part was done, I got a task letting me when the next part of the story was. I clicked on it and nothing happened? It was June when this happened and now it's September. 

Developer

1. You will need to update the game to the newest version

2. After that you either need to load a previous save file where you still have a story task (if you didn't save manually, you still should have an auto save file at the start of the chapter. Click "Chapter 2" in the loading menu)

Or you can trigger the event manually: press F7 five times to unlock cheats. Then press F7 again and select "story_chapter_1_25", this should restart the story from the rival dialogue.

So, I have checked to make sure I have the latest update. And I tried step 2 and triggering the event manually. The event  never triggered when I did step two. When I tried to do it manually....the game decided there were no longer any characters in the story and I got this blank scene for about three minutes XD I did this several times and got the same thing.

Hello,

I got to the part in the story where you had to choose whether to pull out of Nation of Idols, or stay in. I chose to pull out, and the story progressed as I assumed it would. I then got to the ramen shop scene with my rival talking to me, and they began saying dialogue as if I had stayed in the show, and talked about how I got an hour of broadcast time. I had just gotten out of a chat where an idol talked about how none of the groups had showed up, so I'm not sure what was supposed to happen. This is on build 20 and I didn't use cheats to activate it.

Edit: I can confirm that I had the "Thanks for pulling out [Your Name]" from one of my idols, except now the entire story has changed and the idol that was thankful for me pulling out is resigning because we "showed up to the event". 

Developer

Yeah, I'm pretty sure this part is bugged, I'll post an update tomorrow

Developer (1 edit) (+2)

Actually, if you don't want to wait, you can just replace this file

*game_folder*\IM_Data\StreamingAssets\Languages\en\JSON\Events\dialogues.json

with this https://drive.google.com/file/d/1st5zec8elt8Zgrbb1dDzK97i3qE0yWTy/view?usp=shari...

(You'll have to either load a save before the ramen dialogue, or use cheats to trigger "story_chapter_2_28")

This isn't a bug that affects gameplay too much, but it's absolutely baffling for story continuity: an idol had the wish to center a political single, but as I was producing the single, I got an event with her where she told me she didn't want to center political singles because she didn't want to get involved with controversy. I realise that some kind of system to make sure idol wishes and story events don't contradict is likely not high on the priority list and might be more trouble than it's worth, but getting that particular combo was super bewildering.

This happen ed to me as well.

I ran into 2 bugs while playing the newest build (Windows x64, beta 20):

1. I can't seem to fire the trainer, either using scandals or cash. The conversation will trigger but after the conversation the game locks, not a single button will work until I restart the game. The blackmails or cash demand from the trainer will still apply but the scandal points or compensation cash won't be consumed, and trainer just won't leave. I encountered this issue during late game, story mode (300k fans, ¥1B cash).

2. During game play the mouse cursor flickers constantly. Does not flicker in other apps or desktop if I switch out of the game. But will still flicker in game if I switch back. This happens constantly.

Love the new dating system and stories though. Keep up the great work.

Bug number 1 keeps happening to me as well.

>2. During game play the mouse cursor flickers constantly. Does not flicker in other apps or desktop if I switch out of the game. But will still flicker in game if I switch back. This happens constantly.

Did you have this in older builds too or is it a new thing?

I didn't play this game very frequently but I do not recall having this issue prior.

First off, this update is amazing.  I am loving the story elements, they are fantastic.  I have encountered what I believe is a bug however.  In chapter 3, I have the rival task of "watch all the Phantasm Facade events," however I have completed all the events that have appeared and I still cannot complete the rival task.  Additionally, once I completed "story_chapter_3_event_6," the background music and interface switched back to their state in chapter 2 and I don't seem to be able to progress any further in the rival's story.  I've tried manually re-triggering story_chapter_3_event_6, and the event plays with the idols, but the rival's task still cannot be completed.  I don't know if this is a bug or if I am missing some requirement to trigger the remaining masked group events and rival events.   

Regardless, the game is still amazing.  Thanks for all the exceptionally hard work.

Thanks, I see what might've caused this

For now to fix this you can just F7 -> "Complete all tasks"

If you have other tasks that you don't want to complete, you can delete this variable from your save file and trigger story_chapter_3_event_6 again

Thank you for the incredibly fast response!  I really appreciate it.  I'm downloading the latest update tonight, if I run back into this issue, I'll give this a try!

hello i am new to the game and one of my idols is bullying a girl and it won’t let me influence her to stop even though I have maxed out her influence. It says “Influence Cost: Lvl 2” even tho I got her to level 5 it still won’t let me 

In a similar vein, I tried to influence an idol to dump her boyfriend.  Didn't want any scandals.  

She agreed, but her profile still shows as having a boyfriend.  

I don't know if this is a bug, but I'm in chapter 5 (IV) and am not progressing in the main story after completing some events.  The objective to watch all Phantom Façade events appeared 3-ish months ago in game and even though I completed all other side story's none of the Phantom cutscenes show up. I've already seen 2 cutscenes of the phantoms, but no others have appeared after it. Is this just part of the story, or did I miss an objective?

Developer

Yeah, this part can get bugged. You can try this https://itch.io/post/2372198 (press F7 5 times to unlock the debug menu), or wait for a patch (probably in a day or so)

Thanks!! Have a great day!

Hi! Loving the update! The story is really fun so far, I got to about the end of Chapter 2. A few bugs I encountered:

1) During the 2nd Award ceremony where the Rival gives a speech at the beginning, it gave their speech and then cut out without showing the award show at all, so I had no way of knowing what I won. I know that I won something since I got the Fujimoto dialogue that happens when you give him credit, but outside of that nothing.

2) Sometimes it will show the same idol in 2 different rooms at the same time (when the room are of the same type, like 2 dance rooms). Cancelling in one room doesn't cancel in the other, but autopractice picked up the same idol again so the problem popped back up.

3) Sometimes when releasing singles or shows, white boxes will appear instead of the idols at the part where the fame gain is shown.

4) In one save, a random dialogue with an idol came up (the one about zucchini bread) and right after it was done I released a concert that was tied to an election. The concert went as usual but after instead of the election up popped up the prior idol (I'm assuming to give a follow up to the zucchini bread thing). The game was frozen at this point, so I force quit then booted it back up and the idol was gone but the election still didn't happen. I let it run for a few days and nothing.

That's it for now but I'll update it if I see any other bugs!

Sorry that I'm posting again so soon, but I may have encountered another one of the same type of bugs I posted about earlier. It's after the summer Olympics, and it introduced me to chapter 7(? I think, maybe 8) I have no tasks and it's September 13. Is there an event that's coming up, or did I glitch it out?

Developer

If you've seen the credits then it just means that you've completed the story and can just continue playing if you want. Or load an earlier save (there's an auto save at the start of every chapter) to see other endings.

Oh! Thank you, sorry for the misunderstanding on my part.
