JTPearl - No I think the Zealots at HolyDay just took the weekend off. Now they're back to work voting down as fast as possible. Trying to undo the truth of the masses.

So I see now people speaking out against the few who complain abut the market are now getting negative vote when, just a day ago, was getting the positive votes. Guess it took time for the trolls to make new accounts to vote with.

Great game, but i'd recommend not telling people about pay options beforehand. Kind of makes allot of people wait for nothing.

Totally agree with DimitraB, i gave 50kred to support, i wait to get paid so i can give another 50kred. Someone has to pay their rent to keep developing. They restored my Save file (cause i am an idiot and didn't export it) 2 times. It wasn't their obligation, they are just the best developers around.

@ askoelpi , i agree with you, show us your game that has more content. No advertisments cause its boring and no Kreds because some negative people like yourself complain. Whats wrong with you ? Do you want developers to make games or not? In order to make games they have to work, and work needs to get paid. I bought the 200kred package to support these devs. I play this game for 40 days. If i did anything else it would cost me more money. I am proud to support those who deserve it !!!!

Game doesn't seem worth playing anymore, as said before, the game past a certain point just devolves into the same upgrade/office pattern. I'm not a fan of the holybars, but they're not P2W as the game just stops at certain points until the devs add in more managers/content which means this game needs to be updated constantly as there is no unlimited/diminishing return rebirth point system. Also, just because you add "4 new towns" doesn't mean that it's content, it's just a "All profit X3" in another form which needs starting EXP to unlock as just buying facilities and production gives meaningless population past a certain point.

Quick vote: Do you want to change the position of the counters in the top ? To place Scale Economy first instead of last in order to be aligned with the businesses. Like for yes, dislike for no.

Great game, but one thing hits me, all the cities etc feel the same. What about adding an active skill with cooldown on each of them. Just to get some character to each of them :)

@ sebo1989 Seriously? They've been updating almost weekly and you're going to change the rating to a one because of a feature you don't have to even use?
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
That hype created around a pay to win feature and the fact that it took a month to develop made me lose hope in this game. Changed my rating from 5 stars to 1 star until I see that actual content is being added. An idle game is only as good as its updates.

I played this on and off for about a week and a half, then it froze up on me. I tried to close out of Firefox, the system crashed, and all my save data was lost. It was a fun game, but I don't think I have it in me to wait through it again.

We want to thank everyone for his/her passion and support for Holyday City. Today thanks to you, we climbed on the "Most Played Games" of Kongregate front page. We cant describe how excited we are. We will work faster to bring the next update as soon as possible !!!!! Thanks again !!!
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
I was a bit sad to see that the new feature was a pay feature because i was looking for new stuff but i do understand the need for the dev and i will donate once im sure it is account saved and not file saved. As most ppl around i hope this wont become AdCap Moon. If it does i will just do the same as i did on AdCap, stop playing because when it takes 2 weeks to get 1 damn upgrade that is really not Worth playing at all. BTW Dev, i hope you guys will get some $ from it because i believe you owned it. Continue your good work and thx again for a good game. P.S: Still miss the storage feature from the start :P
Hello Gotoxy, we get feedback from Kongregate for every purchase. Even if you lose your save file we can restore it any time. Its 100% safe :) We miss the warehouse too, but you know, democracy above everything :)

one click to make it pay to win? u son of a m****f****** b****. ive been playing since weeks and now it is pay to win! f*** ur game

I got no offline progress overnight, the only thing i did different though was i refreshed the browser while it was loading....I dunno if that wiped out my progress from last night.
If you did refresh then it probably had already calculated the offline gains before you press the button, so the next time it was loaded it showed you like 5 seconds (the time it needed to refresh). For further explanations email us at holydaystudios@gmail.com :)

Ok, so I have been doing all the past levels for at least 3 days... and then there are guys who get from lvl 16 to lvl 20 during the update day.
Are they all cheaters or am I missing something here?

I knot takes time to test. But was not the long wait that i had problemwith. My problem was the hipe that you guys created, about something that not every player will use. You gays could have warned us that the new feature is a "suport developers system".
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
My problem with the market was just the long wait for the "surprise feature" sinse 26/04/2015 (update tab) and its a thing that every other good game has.
Pay real money for multiplayers, really a BIG SURPRISE. I understand that putting some hipe on new updates keeps the playar in the game longer and I like that marketing style of yours, but I think that this tipe of update doen't need to be previously anticipated like this "coming soon" button. That was my frustration with the game and the developers.
Hello ChristianZ5, everything needs time. Before you publish something that includes real money there is a lot of Testing to make sure that everything is working fine, no bugs no funny things. After we finished our testings Kongregate had to test it too in order to give you the best available gaming experience. Sorry that you had to wait so long, but security comes first :) Stay tuned for the Airport that will be a huge thing :)

Holyday the market makes me nervous. Not cause you don't deserve the money but because so many idles that add in this aspect start to slide towards requiring it. I see that you keep saying you will balance it around free players and this gets my hopes up but please be very careful since it can be a slippery slope. All it takes is that one time that you give in to the temptation to add a wall just to try and "extend play time."

Hello Holiday City.
Let's react to the new Market option:
"we want to reassure everyone that the Holyday Market is here to enhance the game and not make it pay to win"
Since when does adding an option for players to pay for having extra multipliers ingame is "ehancing" something ? Never.
What you've done with this option is typically what we call pay to win : give extra advantage to some player versus money that regular ones will not have.
What it does is just unbalancing the game and of course giving you some real cash.
In my opinion you made there a really bad choice and i guess the rate of your game is going to change with that.
Yes i think you deserve some real cash for your good work on this game but not this way OR AT LEAST assume your pay to win choice.
If we can finance ourselves we will keep improving the game, we intend to add more content, improve the UI and even save things on the cloud on the not distant future. All these things need real money and support. So the market is really enhancing the game while at the same time the game stays the same for non paying users. We made a promise and we intend to keep it !!!

Hello Everyone ! First of all we want to thank you for your support these 50 days that the game is live on Kongregate. Second, we want to reassure everyone that the Holyday Market is here to enhance the game and not make it pay to win. The balance on the game is made for the free users and it will stay like that.

People hate it because it's a very slippery slope. There's another idle game in particular which has been having a mass exodus because what started as small "Support the developer" upgrades started being pushed everywhere and the walls became longer and longer to attempt to convince people to buy multipliers.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
So this is to everyone whining option to pay for multipliers. Your argument is mostly that it should be free, because that is what people want. --- Well, how about you stop getting paid to do whatever job you do? Your employers don't want to pay you, so why should they? Your customers (direct or indirect) don't want to pay you, so why should they? Everything you do from now on will earn you 0$, because that is what people want. Enjoy your life.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Why do people hate the paying function of these games? It's not as if it's actually a competitive game... Just don't pay if you don't want to pay. The usual features are still available to you.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
also what's funny is that it holds most of the player base wants and wishes such as the 5X boost instead of the 3. etc. but yeah go ahead and complain, and maybe stop next time and think " is this really what i want, or will i just complain when i get it "
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
I don't understand why people down vote positive comments for a game that is still free to play. Oh well you can pay to get a multiplier in a game that even still takes so long to get to end game what are you complaining about. The game is free isn't it? The game is not multi-player so your not versing people. You down vote the good comments about people thanking the devs for adding an option to donate to their cause which guess what? It keeps the f*cking game free for you peeps out there down voting. If you want a completely free game go play the game that you get when installing your operating system because the people that added those game already got money off of you buying their computers. Devs have to make money and programming and is a hard job. It takes intelligence to produce a good game and I feel people that down vote because they are greedy should not play it. Holyday studios should make the game 5 dollars a month to play just so a**holes like you can get your rocks off!

i actually like the fact that there's a market, i probably won't use it but at least it's not glaring you in the face. it's packed tidly into the top right corner, and you can use it if you want, but you don't need to. the only main benifit apart from it helping you is helping some of the best devs that i've ever come across. they take time to listen to every single person that plays this game, and that's a lot of people. ( sorry for my grammar, punctuation, and spelling ) your right it is an idler game, but to me it's an idler game with a difference and if i had the coin to spare i would happily give the excess to the devs. simple as that.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Sad how many people are happy to play a game for free but get so angry when the developer adds an optional way to donate to them.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Adding a pay to win option really hurt this game (after waiting so long for a 'new and exciting feature' only to find out it was going to be adding the same element every other game has). These games are ad driven as it is. Not to mention I was pleased to donate to begin with. I understand you have to make money and such. I get that better than most. But when high score menus turn in to 'who can spend the most' menus, the game loses a fair bit of luster in my opinion.

lol all these downvote from ignorant. wanna know what is a work deserving money? test astrox from momoguru, a real 3d space game with deep content, totally free for monthes and finally buyable if you want (no paytoplay, u buy to support or play free end of debate), dev responding and patching on the minute! just look the coms on his game, THIS is work you pay for ignorant. now downvote this and continue to feed the cashmachine driving to zero the quality of actual games.
Hello goterus !! Its not required to pay to play in Holyday City, its just something extra. The game is build for free users. We didnt change any upgrade or manager to need Holybars and we keep balancing the upcoming content for the free users. :)
