Under rating threshold (show) As of right now the last 4 upgrades are completely out of reach. I haven't done the math but I don't think there is any way to purchase them in a reasonable amount of time.

Developer response from CHARLESing

I've gotten a bunch of recruit suggestions lately, so I'll be sure to have their costs fall into the President and Idle Player range! EDIT: Just lowered the prices, enjoy!

Under rating threshold (show) there's two gold diggers, "gold digger" and "golddigger"

+ - !

Developer response from CHARLESing

Yeah... that's a mistake :p

Under rating threshold (show) Well its bit short game. Just buy the the most expensive thing you can get in 2min of idling, you got most expensive thing bought, all skills, all hats in like 30min... It takes longer to unlock everything than to buy other stuff. Costs 2 Billion and it gives 20 Billion/sec, so unbalanced.

+ - !

Developer response from CHARLESing

Added level progression. It probably won't affect you, but for newer players it should lock the expensive recruits until you reach a certain output threshold.

Under rating threshold (show) Right now I'm trying to get all of my recruits to rank 20. I must admit it would be nice to be able to go up by 10 ranks at a time. This is going to take at least 2 hours due to the volume of recruits.

+ - !

(1)

Developer response from CHARLESing

I think I can get this up by tomorrow.

Under rating threshold (show) I saw we could guess name only after I had already bought all the stuff... and I think it was faster that way

+ - !

Developer response from CHARLESing

I'm working on adding more recruits so you can start guessing then :)

Under rating threshold (show) needs a button to buy as much as possible from a recruit

+ - !

(-1)

Developer response from CHARLESing

Instead maybe just multiple ranks per purchase?

Under rating threshold (show) It would also be nice to be able to extend the period between autosaves. It makes the game lag every 3 seconds.

+ - !

(-1)

Developer response from CHARLESing

I'll consider this too!

RemiM4

Oct. 05, 2014

Under rating threshold (show) After a certain point, it would be helpful to be able to buy rank in bulk. Getting the whole gang up to 20 rank takes longer than the guessing part of the game.

+ - !

Developer response from CHARLESing

I'll consider it!

Under rating threshold (show) it would be cool to have a hat that gives 0.3, and you wore that hat. it would give x10! 3+ multiplier.

+ - !

(2)

Developer response from CHARLESing

I don't really follow haha do you mean like the hat equipped give you bonus multiplier?

Under rating threshold (show) This is fun, but realllly laggy.

Developer response from CHARLESing

I'm working on optimizing the code, stay tuned!

Under rating threshold (show) dude wtf , 760 different jobs ? ? ? who wrote this ?

Developer response from CHARLESing

Mostly myself, and a multitude of Kongregate users! I'm taking suggestions for new recruit names if you have any!

+ - !

(-3)

Developer response from CHARLESing

I think that that's what's supposed to happen, because the speed increases, but the total revenue should stay the same. If you look at the revenue/s, it should update accordingly.

Under rating threshold (show) Please add an "Autorefresh" to the list example: if u only list all Locked recruits, and u unlock 1, the unlocked one stays on the list, even if unlocked recruits arent supposed to show

Dang nice job! It's kinda cool to see the game on youtube :)

Oct. 05, 2014

Under rating threshold (show) I would also like to point out that the mouse cursor is very difficult to see. Maybe you could put in an upgrade for it that allows for lower costs of things and changes it's appearance. Or just flat out change it.

+ - !

(1)

Developer response from CHARLESing

I could make it darker, and probably have a way to disable it too. And for the upgrades, I think I can do something that lowers cost :)

sirwoofy

Oct. 05, 2014

Under rating threshold (show) Uhm. So I closed this last night and went to sleep but when I logged in this morning is said I was away for 3 seconds and the gold gained reflected that. Is that supposed to happen because it doesn't seem right? I play on google chrome if that matters.

+ - !

(2)

Developer response from CHARLESing

I'll look into it, sorry about that.

IronRope

Oct. 05, 2014

Under rating threshold (show) If I may ask, it would be nice if maxed upgrades were always at the bottom of the list, or at least while "Lowest cost" was activated.

+ - !

Developer response from CHARLESing

Noted! You can also hide your maxed recruits by clicking "Showing maxed"

Under rating threshold (show) Love the concept of unlocking features by guessing the right name. First game i experience something like this. Lot's of fun and i hope the dev keeps updating the game. Good job so far *thumbs up*

Developer response from CHARLESing

Thanks! I plan to update the game daily!

Oct. 05, 2014

Under rating threshold (show) hat prices inflates too much. (bug?) if I refresh, the prices go back to normal. // how to get a rank: reach level 1000 on one of your jobs and click one more time to rebirth(?). getting a rank will make that job level 1 so be careful

+ - !

Developer response from CHARLESing

I'm working on fixing the hat bug, and rank warning pop-up!

Under rating threshold (show) how do you get Rank?????

+ - !

(4)

Developer response from CHARLESing

You can increase ranks when your recruit reaches the max level (1000) and you essentially reset the recruit for additional multiplier. But, this means that the recruit's level will go back to level 1!

Under rating threshold (show) Tip: Reveal expensive recruits first because they give you more income. The cheap ones are just a waste of hints and effort

+ - !

(2)

Developer response from CHARLESing

Yup, I might have to do an unlocking feature where you can't purchase an expensive recruit until you unlock some of the lower recruits first...

TigerLova

Oct. 05, 2014

Under rating threshold (show) how about an auto purchase of the lowest prices? i've played an idle game with that and i felt like "ohh finally!! a game with auto-buying!!" xD because so i don't have to come check all the smallest prices because i buy from smallest to biggest but usually in the upgrade part... in this idle game though we pretty feel the need to 1st unlock each jobs then we feel like purchasing them.. but i don't know yet how buying from cheapest to most expensive works but tan option for that too could work :p

+ - !

(3)

Developer response from CHARLESing

I'm working on a buy all on page button, I might use your idea too!

Oct. 05, 2014

Under rating threshold (show) Massive bug: If you type a recruit-guess and get it right, when it isn't displaying all the recruits, it stops displaying any. If you then change the sort, you only get the new one you found, and a small number of ones you don't yet know

Under rating threshold (show) also, how do hat makers, entrepreneurs, presidents, and masons get more cash than the leader of the greek gods? and no hypnos, morpheus, eros, thanatos, chaos? no norse love, egyptian, hindu, chinese myth beast, japanese deities? though japanese deities could take some time.

+ - !

(2)

Developer response from CHARLESing

Yeah, I was trying to balance out the games by making the prices of the newer recruits more expensive. And you can suggest your own recruits in the suggestions tab at the top!

leeman27534

Oct. 05, 2014

Under rating threshold (show) there's a major dead end at president, you can't even get close to the last four for like a week. also, why is rank 999 so much more money than rank 1, level 1?shouldn't rank 1, level 1 be like level 1001? i've been upgrading to just before ranking up for more money gathering... except for lower ones, i get to rank 23-26 first.

+ - !

(1)

Developer response from CHARLESing

Working on balancing, stay tuned!

TjStorm88

Oct. 05, 2014

Under rating threshold (show) This really is quite nice and different. Love that you can suggest recruits. One of my suggestions would be that when you select a sort options, it continually updates. So on lowest cost, after buying 1000, it gets moved down the list automatically. Thanks TjStorm

+ - !

Developer response from CHARLESing

I had this feature already in place, but I took it out because I thought it got distracting, whoops. I guess I can put it back into a settings screen or somewhere :)

Under rating threshold (show) Why does mall cop cost so much?

Developer response from CHARLESing

Honestly, I just randomly filled out some of the prices :)

uberman77

Oct. 05, 2014

Under rating threshold (show) Balance is off. Too many low level jobs, you can just skip over most of them. Higher level jobs pay off too much. So, for example, making your first million my take a while, but once you have it you can buy a job that costs a million and you'll make your next million in a matter of seconds. Then you just wait a couple of minutes for your first billion, and step up from there. The only jobs that take any time to earn are the top tier on the final screen (idle player and up).

I'm working on balancing right now!

Under rating threshold (show) Here's a hint for unlocking more recuits: Anyone can work anywhere. Name this, name that, look around what's happening in the city. What is that one person's job in that store?

Developer response from CHARLESing

Yup, that's basically how I made the recruit names :)

Under rating threshold (show) @Scriboergosum Once you have the maximum number of hints, there will be a message underneath the hint count that lets you sell them. I don't think you can sell hints until you have the maximum number (which you can raise in the upgrade tab).

Under rating threshold (show) Help: Just happening now, maybe I hit a hidden keyboard shortcut?, when I guess a job right damn thats so fun :D) the game switches from "Show all" to a random category and I have to click a felt 100 times through the categories to go to all and see my new found job.

Developer response from CHARLESing

The game kinda got really big, really fast. You can search recruits by typing in its name again, but I'm working on a better way to do this.

Oct. 05, 2014

Under rating threshold (show) I like the game, but how much time do i have to wait to get last few recruits? Like a month? I know these are the last 4 recruits but still it is way too much.

Yeah, I'm working on balancing the game right now. Stay tuned!
