AdVenture Capitalist

You’ve been waiting. Saving up your Mega Bucks. Looking toward to the future. Now the time has come.

Welcome. To the Mega Update. Dun dun dun!!

As you may or may not have guessed, this update contains the long anticipated Mega Bucks Upgrades!

Now you can turn your hard earned Mega Bucks into Bling and profit!

Here’s how it works:

- Mission Control has been turned into the “AdVentures” tab. You’ll still find Mission Control and space content here, but also new stuff! SHINY new stuff!

- In addition to the Currency Exchange tab, you’ll find a tab for “Mega Boosts”. Here you can buy Mega Tickets – which can be used to “gild” your investments. Gilding an investment permanently boosts its profits by 777%, and also turns it into its shiny gold form. Wow!

- Once you’ve bought your tickets, just click on the Mega Ticket icon on the main screen to apply them. They’re awesome.

These are just the first things you’ll be able to buy with your hard-earned Mega Bucks. We’ve got more plans for the future, and we’d also love to hear from you about the other kinds of things you’d like to be able to spend them on. So don’t be shy.

Thanks for reading, and for your continued interest in Capitalism.

Hey Capitalists! The 1.1.2 Update is here and ready for your discerning palettes!

As usual, there’s a combination of bug fixes and some new stuff – we’ve included a handy dandy list below. Check it out!

• Quik Buy on the Moon – you’ve asked for it! We’ve added it! ‘Cause we like ya a lot!

• Mission Control bar/button has been permanently added to the main screen UI. Originally this bar wouldn’t appear until you had saved up a decillion dollars, and then spent it to unlock Mission Control.

The reason we changed this is pretty straight forward – we plan on having stuff going on in Mission Control in the near future that we want everyone to have access to. So – tweaked!

• We also fixed the progress bars on the Moon – which were starting to twitch out due to the speed rates they were tending to settle on. The progress bars reach their “flow-y” state faster now, which should calm them down.

• Last but not least, we added a counter for the Flux Capitaler in the Gold Upgrades menu on the Moon. Again, nothing too revolutionary here – just making things easier to parse for everyone.

That covers just about everything. Let us know if you run into issues with the latest update, or if you have any suggestions for more improvements.

Thanks for reading, and your continued interest in Capitalism.

Hey Capitalists! We’ve got some updates fresh from the factory for you, so buckle up, saddle up, lock and load and put the pedal to the metal!

Here’s what we’ve added, tweaked, changed or updated:

• More Moon stuff! – We’ve also added some new achievements, upgrades, and managers for your businesses! You may notice there’s quite a few upgrades/that the new managers have the same price. This is intentional! The choice of which to upgrade is yours to make!

• New achievements for Earth – you knew it was coming! The Earth endgame has been extended, and we’re very very sorry if you were close to the end before. Progress!

• Moon modifications – we’ve adjusted a bunch of the values for the Moon, and changed how the Mid to Late game flows. All of our changes were to make things go faster, but not TOO much faster. The Moon remains a tough nut to crack, but it shouldn’t feel like a soggy slug slog. Speaking of the Moon…

• Orange Dot – we fixed the way the Orange Dots work. They used to tell you whenever you had something new to buy, and wouldn’t shut up about it until you bought it. This was a mistake. NOW they tell you when you have something new, and go away once you’ve looked at what it is. Useful and cathartic for you OCD types!

• End Game celebration – we added some confetti and stuff for players that reach the end. Good job! Escape while you can! D:

• Angel Reset suggestions – there’s more info now about when to reset, which is mostly to help new players get the hang of it. If Louis Fitui shows up and starts talking about resetting for angels, or if you notice the Orange Dot flashing when you can double your angels, that’s the ticket.

That’s it for now. We’ve got some more info on this and the previous update located at http://www.kongregate.com/forums/4722-developer/topics/501631-developer-notes-1-1-0-1-1-1

Thanks for your continued interest in Capitalism!

Good day Capitalists!

We have a few updates for you guys today, including some info for a beta build we’ve put up, so take a gander!

On the main game, here’s the stuff we’ve tweaked or fixed:
Import / Export now works again! Horray!
We’ve done some UI fixes and switches – Mission Control is resized, we’ve added Gold purchases to some of the submenus, and fixed some small issues
A bunch of general bug fixes and performance issues – this stuff is always ongoing, so please let us know whenever your game is having issues.
The Flux Capitalor now functions offline properly. We also changed its price, because we tweaked how it stacks (it’s now MUCH more effective), so apologies for the switch.

We’ve also launched a new Beta build that contains some additions and rebalancing to both Earth and the Moon. If you’ve got a bit of time, we’d love to hear what you think of it (it’s open to everyone!)

http://www.kongregate.com/games/HyperHippoGames/beta-adventure-capitalist

Since the Moon launch a few weeks ago, we’ve received a lot of messages from players who weren’t enjoying the slow speed of the Moon’s progress. We originally aimed at this balancing because there will be additional factors that affect its progress to take into account (upcoming Mega-Bucks purchases for example), and we didn’t want to make it easy.

However – lots of folks just weren’t having fun with it, so we’re tweaking it. Please check out the Beta for more info, play it, and let us know what you think.

Cheers!
