*Logs on to the game* *Does double take at new AI's and bankroll* "Did I benefit from some weird update bug?" *Looks at achievements, sees a bunch of new ones already gotten* "Huzzah for income calculations that apply as soon as the update goes live!"
This will almost certainly not get implemented, but I'd love to see a few cheesy, over-the-top little cutscenes played whenever you sacrifice angel investors. Maybe some creepy stone altars, dollar-sign shaped candles atop human skulls, people in robes made of hundred dollar bills saying chants to Lord Smith, as a dump truck full of angels backs up and pours all the poor investors into a lake full of molten gold. Should be toggleable, so it doesn't have to play or be skipped if people don't want to see it.
@Super274: Bill Gates is a multi-billionaire. The entire US GDP is valued at under 16 trillion. One decillion is way, way more than the total net worth of all human products on the planet.
Anyone else figure out that the figure talking to you was probably an Ancient Evil fairly early, but still helped because you wanted to see what the Ancient Evil would do / if you could be the Evil Second?
Complaint (archetype): I have n angel investors and still can't get the achievements for m of all buildings in less than x time. Game is broken, plz fix, kthxbye.
Also, newspapers cost more than oil rig, so game doesn't match my expectations, which is broken. plz fix reality so it doesn't surprise me.
To anyone downvoting people who ask about the price scheme: I agree it's irritating, but it's really not helpful. It likely turns people off of the game, and if you like the game, then it's best to have as many people as possible playing it. More people playing = more dev incentive to continue to work on it = better game. We should encourage people when they're confused, not discourage them. (Also, more people = more likely to get badges.)
Anyone else seriously irritated with the balloons? It seems like they hinder more than help. Burning all my fuel takes long enough that there's a very high chance that I'll hit one, especially given how small the viewbox is, and how long the curl animation takes. Maybe a viewbox upgrade? Increasing the size 3-4x would be fantastic.
Given that every business I own brings in more than the entire world's GDP, as well as costing many more times that, I must wonder: Who am I selling all my stuff to? And who am I purchasing the new businesses from? Do I now own an interstellar corporate empire?
I don't know whether I feel sorry or excited for you!
