Hi I am a new purchaser here
Loving the game so far! Lots of good potential and fun.
I have beta 19 feedback (directly dealing with this version's concerns) after playing for almost a solid day now:
- The interface that notifies us that the idol stamina is a bit tiny... it'd be cool if you have some sort of key or feature that allows us to quickly see the detailed status of the idols that are important to us (especially since some of them are quite needy)
- Better notification system would be super beneficial since it is easy to forget the tasks that are done when playing in a super productive manner (a suggestion I have is to use a notification dot system i.e. red dot for things that are done, yellow dot for things that need our reply such as when managers land deals etc)
- It gets confusing when trying to choose the stylist in terms of which skill they are best at... can we have some sort of way to customize it for example a sexy/cool stylist can be designated <insert> color? It would also be beneficial for the other roles too so we don't confuse between production and coaching
- Speaking of coaching, wouldn't it be good to have rooms for education? That way idols can improve their smart and funny stats similar to how they can improve their vocal and dance skills
- To expand on the above, it could be pretty cool if they also have better chances of getting bonus stars during world tours if they have a higher stat... because so far getting 5 stars in any country is pretty darn hard or at the very least super unclear
- Currently it is extremely difficult to get any single promotion for the employees... perhaps it is okay to make the growth rate of the employees a bit faster?
- Some of the achievements are quite troublesome to achieve especially the 6 maxed out stats because idols lose stats as they age and the training time to get some of those back to 100 is tough
- I think that the manager should have an option of focusing on landing certain types of deals (sexy/cute/pretty/cool) because sometimes, trying to land a specific gig takes years... it also makes sense if we are intending to focus on a specific market but to not have control of this is kind of strange
- It can be hard to earn money in this game without the Y button haha would it be a good idea to create a merchandise section in the building (similar to how companies do it in real life) in order to have a section that is providing constant base income (I mean we are providing a salary, but there is no constant stream of cash despite making a portfolio)?
- It would be a very attractive feature to be able to allow us to change the portrait styles of an idol in game (as in, we can change their hair color and type etc) like a simple version of sims when visiting the stylist... people love customization and it isn't going to hurt to have different new skins and styles as DLC content on steam in the future (rather than finding the save file to change stuff up)
Should I make another post on things not related to version 19 but still ideas on the game overall?
