Not really ideas but something which may improve the user experience:
1. During business proposals the dialog displays 3 girls to select. But there doesn't appear to be any way to view what current contracts are in place for those said idols. As our roster increases it becomes difficult to identify each girl and what contracts she has going on. There have been numerous times where I have accidently given the same idol -47pts jobs resulting in...well hiatus and broken contracts due to injury only because I couldn't remember an idol still has a contract running. So either give players access to the contract button at the bottom or some kind of counter on the idol's card to indicate how many contracts they have.
2. When releasing a single as the main group and selecting the formation. There needs to be more information when I hover over the idol about what group she is assigned to. In order to manage stamina effectively I don't really like putting idols in sister groups into the main group at times. At some point you are managing far too many idols to remember who is in what. It becomes a bit cumbersome selecting the drop down menu of each sister group just to remind yourself who is in what group. I should be able to hover over an idol and just see what group she is assigned to. Maybe each group can have some sort of icon (emoji xD dunno) when you first create a sister group that way if I see that icon on the corner of each idol's card when you hover over an idol it will let me know what group she is in .
3. I should be able to change the style of outfits of each idol. (Plays into 2). The outfits will help brand groups and make them more identifiable to the player. I get faces should not be customisable but the outfit and hair should.
4. During the election, I should be able to see tasks or some kind of indication what idol's wish to be ranked. The election happens every 6 month so it really is a missed opportunity as I am unable to remember what idols want to rank.
Here are some ideas I had:
1. It would be nice if all the graduated idols that work for you don't all become Sales Managers. I'd like to keep them all if I could but I don't need 10 Sales Managers. Maybe they can become other things? Music Producer, choreographer, stylist etc depending on their stats/fame/fans will determine their star level but a choice to select which one will be nice not randomised. Also i'd like to know what their potential starting star level will be before I employ them?
2. Graduated idols that work for you/are fired should still appear under the graduated tab in idols. Maybe it can say "Working as a Sales Manager for [insert your name]" obviously if they get fired then it can just be randomly updated. But the small detail will be nice to give homage to the past idols.
3. An option to negotiating with an idol who wants to graduate to perhaps convince her to stay? Or maybe idols graduating way before their time can threaten to leave unless so and so is fulfilled (Salary bump, Center single with x amount of sales). I've had idols graduate within a year of being with the group and I don't really understand why.
4. Someone else who can be a producer and write lyrics and do the the tasks the manager can ? with over 10 girls it becomes harder to bond with each idol and find out what they wish or who is dating who. Especially if you have singles/concerts to manage. This will be a good potential job for the graduated idols?
5. Solo acts
Anywho, that's it. Keep up the good work. I've been really enjoying the game thus far and can't wait for it to be released officially.
