Normally i might agree with the "pay to win" comment because that's pretty much what it is... but at the same time, the x3, x6, x9, etc. are relatively negligible and there isn't any competition here... so there's no real "winning"...
I actually agree too! I HATE pay-to-win - it's a diseased design choice. However - given the solo nature of the game, and the fact that the boost is subtle, we felt it was alright to offer it. (I hate all the "buy turns to play" or "buy actions" to take moves. AdCap is just about profits, and how fast you earn them.)

Since the update my screen updates ridiculously slow. after tabbing out for about 5 minutes and coming back I had around 4.XXX Quadrillion, I refreshed my browser and had 13 Quintillion. Other than that, no issues so far!

dammit i was making 30x what im making now after this reset with 5x the angel investors, wish i new about the balancing before i reset :(
Sorry for the slow down - the profits have been spread out a little more, so Lemonade Stands would stop making Oil Rigs completely obsolete too quickly.

yep, overall income was nerfed down A FREAING LOT. glad i made all the quadrillion angel investors today. tomorrow is black friday for all internet capitalists.
The Lemonade stands were slowed down, and their potential profits shifted to the other investments, on a slightly longer progression. This was due to how easy it was to get Lemonade stands up to their highest potential. Now they compete with Oil Rigs for best investment.

I see point in caithness comment. My 1200 lemonade stands earning more then 700 hockey team for ONE iteration! I dunno how much faster lemonade stands are working

My income is now a 1000 times slower than before the last update. I'm now earning tredecillions as fast as I was earning quattordecillions before.
This was due to a shift in how quickly investment profits were growing. We did this shift so that Oil Rigs wouldn't become redundant. Apologies for the shift - we wouldn't have touched it if we didn't feel it was necessary. (Check the newspaper achievements - they now also boost investments on the right side of the screen).

Hi great game you guys made here.
Would it be possible to get the base numbers for the different activities?
Original speed, and income.

after some time the shrimp boat costs more than the newspaper stand :P never thought something like that would happen XD

I still have no clue how much money my assets earn... if you want this to be a strategic game rather than a "let's random buy something to unlock achievements" game we need infos.

add another "Angel Investor All Profits xx" upgrade... the 1 Trillion worth Angel Investor is not enough at higher level achievements..
Isn't that funny! We got a LOT of feedback from players wondering what we were on about with that upgrade, but it really is useful in the long term. :)

Alright I'm out, I was willing to try for 500 each, but now you've doubled the dang amount and are making it pay to win. I'm out.
Well, the game will continue to grow, so we might even double it again. Also - the purchases we added DO boost your game, but it's a very solo experience right now. When we go implement multiplayer / competitive mode and leaderboards, they won't be influenced by the purchased multipliers. I don't view this as a negative addition.

That 0.8 seconds/tick on the oil station was a bad idea. I mean my other building make up to 10 times more than 1 oil tick in that interval. It should cover more ground as it's the last building

775 is tought, but might make the 800 doable. After that it looks like running it in day long stints as a few quadrillion angels won't make much difference. I think this is going to take many quadrillion angels if not at least quintillions of angels to get through.
I gave myself 1 sextillion investors during testing, and couldn't reach the 900 of Everything Achievement in under an hour, so hopefully the journey to 900 is full but fun!

You know that feeling you get when some awesome game you really like lets you restart from the beginning after you finish it with all your upgraded elite gear and loot? Angel investors give me that same feeling here with every reset! That first nonillion used to be sooooo hard...

There's a bug where your offline income doesn't come up right? Well, you did say you wanted a way to reward being online... I'm kidding, of course. Good luck on making a fix.
Wha? This is VERY strange. Did you receive a recovery code from us at some point? It might have been a faulty code. PM me, and we'll try to get you sorted.

And suddenly the tables have turned, with my 600 Oil Company pulling a meager 40 Oct every 5 seconds, compared to my 1000 Lemonade Stands pulling 28 Sep every microsecond.

I suggest a "Buy all" button for upgrades. Or atleast in Tiers, like everyone ,up to profit for all. I'm Rushing through them and it's tricky to get all, because the slider is kinda small.
Anyways, GREAT GAME. Loving this shit :D

Before I receive any more condescending pms, I would like to acknowledge the fact that I posted about a known bug. I saw the devs update about the bug only after i had voiced my concern about it. Keep up the great work devs! Definitely one of my favorite idle games.
Heh heh! True story: the iOS guys rejected our app this week because they couldn't figure out how to play it. We're doing an instructional video for them. Game development is always interesting!

For those having problems with the Angel Investor purchases, here's a little something that may help.
1: Remember that the upgrades are NOT PERMANENT, but the angel investors paid are lost, so keep an eye out for how many AI's you have before purchasing.
2: I have noticed that if your total AI count is 50x the cost of the upgrade, it is safe to purchase. I personally wouldn't try purchasing unless you have at less than 20x, just to be safe (and so you can quickly regain the lost AI's).
3: The "+10" and "+50" upgrades increases the total number of that shop. It is easy to confuse them with profit multipliers. They can be useful for when you are close to the next achievement level, but just can't seem to get the cash fast enough. They are ONE TIME ONLY purchases per reset.
I hope that helps.

I have a suggestion for the middle/late game. Add an AUTO BUY button next to the +1/+10. Have it unlock only when a player has 1 billion or 1 trillion angel investors at the start of a game. This will auto purchase the cheapest building when funds are available. I will speed up restarts so people that have already played thru many rounds wont have to click all the buildings back up to where they were.
Also for people that leave the game running, it can keep your buildings upgraded so you dont have to sit at one income rate while you IDLE. It will build for you. You can make it only work while online. Disabled when offline.
And if you want to get crazy, Auto buy button at the top of the upgrades tab for those with over 2 trillion investors at the start of a game :-) Thanks for the great game. keep up the good work.

I have a suggestion: general achievements. acheivements that wouldnt go away when you reset the game. like the nº of angel investors or a huge amount of investments. they would make a permanent effect to the game. like 10billion angels would make from now on 3x profit on all investments.

I have an idea for future updates. Hopefully this will eliminate more bugs before release, but also give the players an idea of where you stand on updates. Since you have your own website, I had the idea of opening a testing server for AdVenture Capitalist. This way you can upload the the update and not have to worry about possibly throwing the game into bugland for a few days. It also can help to prevent the need for data removals and resets as such was a possible solution in this previous update. It also allows players who want a "sneak peek" at future updates to get them and give you feedback before official release of the update. I hope this is a decent solution to this problem. Please, enjoy your day!

As with everything in the game when you have some of them the price increases. So does the money we have to earn for angel investors. So when we buy stuff with our angel investors do the ''price'' go down? or does it stand the same so we have to be aware of how much we are going to use?

here is something odd... not that I am complaining!! but... I just got bank and Oil Rig to 300 each... next upgrade for bank is 22.884 quintillian per , and the next upgrade for oil is 16.885 quintillian per... not sure if this was intended or not..
It's definitely odd! We balanced it that way on purpose, though for a while people thought it was a bug and left LOTS of comments about it (which is why, I believe, you got downvoted). We appreciate the heads up though - anything that might be a bug should be reported to us!
