OMG People stop whining about the scales of the prices... I think makes getting to the "DREAM" (all achivements unlocked) soo much harder... the fact is at later times getting 400 in oil is easy but getting 400 in all of them to increase the speed of the oil (your main money maker) should take alot longer then it would seem so having to get a un godly amount of angel investors to get to 500 in all stands is the reason I like this game.

You might want to force companies to update money slower to compensate for numbers flying to reduce lag. If every 10 seconds you gain the average of your predicted growth of 10 x 1 x growth/second, it could slowly update to the next greatest average as you upgrade things simply every 1 to 5 seconds and then shoot you a lump sum every 10 seconds.
Making payment every 10 seconds slows down the game initially, but if the game had added business to own this would reduce a whole lot of lag with less numbers flying. what do you think?

you are going to run out of space to slow down digits and the games going to crash on old computers when they get deep in.
You might want to add a 10x 100x etc dollar amount option to the game for how you hold on t your currency, so big numbers can be stored with less counting. So like if i have 1,000,000,000 dollars and i select 1,000 dollar bills I had 1x 1,000,000,000 dollar bills, now it displays a tighter number of 1000x 1,000,000 which = 1x 1,000,000
This would allow you to add pages past the oil rig of businesses to own without flooding the system with too much text to load.

The current amount of money I am making at my newspaper sales would take me almost 160 years, by itself, to buy the next level. Whereas, the oil rigs would only take about 6 minutes. This doesn't make sense to me. Could you please explain this? Still love the game BTW!
Thanks for saying so! It was a bit shocking just how many things went wrong though. At the very least, it's made us more cautious and thorough in our testing, so it definitely wasn't all bad. :)

You need to make the game check the sound settings BEFORE it starts to play the music. Every time I load the game, I get a few bars of the music before it realizes I turned it off and shuts up. >_>

achievments should give bonus money modifier because stuff like the lemonade stand dont make anything near what it costs to make them

HyperHippoGames has said: We’ve received a LOT of feedback regarding the inverted price balancing in the mid-game (newspaper become WAY more expensive than oil rigs). This is actually intentional! We’ve flagged this issue for better in-game communication and conveyance, and we’re also hoping to introduce some strategic elements that alter the prices of investments. We just want everyone to know for now that it’s not a bug, and we’ve got plans to clarify and make it a deeper part of the game.

One feature I'd like to see is (possibly as a buyable upgrade?) a money per second readout, and possibly also something to tell you just how much buying the next lemonade stand, newspaper stand, etc will improve your money per second.

Hey man, we need more mangers XD why not add managers that make you win more money or speed up production. this option of the game should be more explored too.

Liked It before but since the update there's no offline and my game resets (back to 0 investors as well) if I leave it offline for too long. For an idle game this is something of a dealbreaker.

Minus the lemonade stands, the ones on the left end up costing more than they are making. This is a great game, but that doesn't make any sense. A businessman would not buy or invest in businesses that cost more than they make. Even over time, the left side doesn't make the money back that we've spent on them. I know you said you did this by design but there is no logical or business sense behind this.
Supply and Demand. Your weaker investments become your loss leaders for promoting your viable investments. Soon you'll use your overwhelming control of media and adventising to control the economy further. This is the idea at least. The new End Game we're working on should help explain and justify the balancing.

I keep asking myself: How can this idle be addictive? But here i am playing and playing everyday! Thank you HyperHippoGames!

about the newspaper/oil issue: A. oil is a 'natural' resource, newspapers are NOT. B. newspapers REQUIRE oil for production and thus have more overhead. C. It might become cheaper by buying a forest/lumber-company (solving the other resource supply issue).
Let the game hang for a long time - it usually does the trick (like seriously, mine took around 75 seconds once). We're working on this issue right now.

or at least 2 modes of play:
A. non-scoring
B. Scoring
this should reduce the need to cheat AND allow us to keep our current games

Just a thought for an update (or perhaps an AdVenture Capitalist 2). What about zones? Like you start in the USA/Canada (or just North America) and after you have $x or X number of "spare" angel investors, you can purchase the ability to open up some businesses in say South America. The businesses in South America would have a South American flare to them (Torta Street vendors, etc) and would start out cheap just like in North America and add to your total investment money, until soon you become an international mogul, with businesses around the world.

As a group of gamers, we really appreciate your constant attentiveness to our comments. Seeing dev replies within minutes/hours of a post is always reassuring :) keep it up! Terrific idle game.

When I have the 300 oil companies and 300 newspapers, why does it cost way more to buy a newspaper? Is this going to be fixed?

Sorry for the multiple posts, but checking back, I thought that 1 quadrillion was supposed to be 1,000,000,000,000, instead of 1,000,000,000,000,000. My bad.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Actually, I think it's an issue once your total current money go past 1,000,000,000,000. The game registers as 1.000 quadrillion. However, when you earn 1 quadrillion, your current balance registers as 1.001 quadrillion, when it should be 2.000 quadrillion instead.

I think something is wrong with the values. It seems like the game actually registers less one zero for every zeros that shows up in your earning.
I.e. Game shows that I am earning 2,000,000. However, everytime that I earn that 2,000,000, the current money that I have increase by only 200,000.

idk what happened but it seems i make more in a couple hours online than i do with 2 days offline. maybe it was just a bug that arose after updating teh game but now it seems impossible for me to doanything unless im all day staring at the screen to ensure my money actually comes in. so annoying

I think there is something wrong with the High Scores, it tells me i have 199 lemonade stands, but i have over 500 of them. My AI's are not even counted :(

When you click on Buy x10 it should change the price to how much for 10 not the single price. Makes it easier to see how much you need for 10 of each investment.

It looks as if every reset I do it takes more money per angel investor is this true? i figured about 20 trillion on the 2nd reset and around 45-47 trillion after the third reset. Is this an intended feature of the game?
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
@Stichlasser: you get 'potential' angel investors based on your income. Basically the more you play (considering you upgrade continously) the more investors you will get. BUT, the angel investors will be effective when you reset your game, so you start over but your income is boosted by the angel investors (starting with +1% per angel). So next time you will have higher income, you will get more angels .. etc. ps. every time you reset the new angels are added to the original investors, you will not loose the ones you earned previously.

Ireally don't see the point of price growth. at level 400 as egzample car wash prise is 41 septilion on the other hand oil company is like 15 sextilion its insane with now logic and newspapers are at 100 septilion. this really pisses me off. but the game is still addicting and cool. :D Great job on improving it. Thanks. Good luck. :)
