If it's not too much to ask, maybe instead of having just 1x, 10x, etc., why not just have Qty and let the player choose how many they want of a certain item?

Theres a max buy button coming! Hallelujah! Right now i'm just trying to cut down the lag time between restart and 400 of everything and 500 lemons and oil. its about a minute and half but it could probably be under 45 seconds with max buy, and in this game time is money with every second rolling in several almost 100 sextillion dollars, thats a lot of money.
Do you even have a ballpark idea for when new upgrade updates are coming? Im not rushing, but consider it an enthusiastic inquiry...
Max buy will probably come next week, or the week after. We want to tie it to a new Manager feature. If it looks like it things are delayed though, we'll just whip it up and add it.

I highly approve of the angel investor decimals. As a dev myself, I appreciate your feedback to the community. My first update to my Programmer RPG game totally wrecked the game, and I had to take it down for 3 days. Luckily I was able to fix it, and I talked to the community and got it back up, so I totally understand how frustrating it can be. Keep up the good work.
Holy smokes, that first update was terrifying. So many negative comments - I almost rolled into a ball and hid. But that is definitely not the Capitalist spirit - so back into the fray we go! (Thanks for the comment, btw. I'm going to check out your game. :) )

Thank you for the clarification on AI decimals!!! It has been a while since i have had any bugs to report, now its just polish and new content stuff I look forward to seeing improve. You guys might also benefit from hosting some sort of voting mechanism for what content we as players want next. I know its your game and you are doing a great job of improving it. Letting the fan base pick our improvement priorities might speed up the process and help keep you guys at #1 in dev activity.
On a side note, I commend your transparency about owning when things went south, and your commitment to continually improving the game. You didn't hide or blame anything. I will be a dedicated follower of this game for as long as you guy maintain it in this light! Kudos!
Thanks for your comment! Very, really, sincerely, thanks! It's VERY tempting to delegate blame when we mess up, but we're aspiring to be as approachable and accountable as possible. In the end we're gamers too, so we want to support and communicate with the community the way we would hope other studios would with us. We appreciate loyal Capitalists who are patient, and have stuck with us, through some of these bumps. Here's to a fun and well-balanced future!

We’re considering locking the buy buttons if you can’t afford the full 10 – let us know what you think!
I don't like it. i use the 10x button to buy 3-4 at a time cause i'm to lazy to click 1x button
See, this is exactly how WE use the button. But we're hearing enough responses that we want to pose it to the community. We'll probably change the way it works when we incorporate the "MAX" buy button.

I know there has been a lot of talks about stats. Specifically I would really love to know when the profit of an item exceeds the total amount that has been spent on it so far! Thanks for considering!

@ ace case:
It does take forever early on, but keep buying more & more. Once you have 25 of something, it pays out twice as fast. When you've got 25 of everything it pays out twice as fast again. That takes the ~10 1/2 hour oil rig time down to ~2hr. Once you get everything to 400 (and oil up to 500) it only takes less than 5 seconds for the oil rigs to pay out.

Ace_Case, It takes you a while to start up but eventually you'll manage to get things up and running. Just keep clicking and buying anything you can, make sure you have all of your managers and then use upgrades to help increase revenue. Eventually, you'll wind up noticing that you've racked up some Angel Investors. Once things get slow and it takes you about 30 seconds before you can upgrade anything, reset your game with the Angel Investors and you'll notice that it's a lot faster to get to that amount of money this time around ;) I personally don't reset after that until I achieve 3x my initial Angel Investors. Hope this helped, don't give up on this amazing game!

I believe there may be an issue with the Movie Studio not getting the 3x bonus from the Monopoly upgrade. really don't feel like resetting to verify atm.

i was just thinking. I wondered if my investments ,in let's say newspapers, were making a profit yet after counting up purchase prices. Just an idea but maybe make little block or icon of some kind that is either red or black to let us know if we are making pure profit yet in each investment.
That first 25 Oil rigs is tricky. Generally, it takes an over-night session to really get the game moving. But that's exactly why we made it that your investments continue, even when you're offline!

Suggestions: A click to view for the angel investors, I know I have more than a billion, but it would be nice to see the number on occasion, as 1 billion could mean 1.5 billion or 950 million. Rather than have all the upgrades listed, have them be upgraded, then they could scale still, but we wouldn't have to try to scroll to figure out which ones we have or don't have plus you could then have the upgrades scale like the lemonade stand. A buy max option would be nice too, basically buys as many of that unit as you have money to buy. Some permanent upgrades or achievements would be nice, like have 1000 of each unit, all times are reduced by 10% or 10% more income for x resource.

After the June3 Update the displayed costs are wrong. It sais something about 2 nonillions for my 485 donus and I'd be able to buy it with my measly 1.2 nonillions.
This is due to the x10 button - it shows you how much buying ten investments will be, but if oyu can't afford ten, it still allows you to buy as many as you can. :)

"Could we have some more decimal points for Angel Investors."
I agree with this comment, however instead of decimaled billions, perhaps just millions could be used (1 billion = 1000 million, etc.). I like the non-decimal look, and long before you get close to a trillion, you've already got 500+ in each upgrade.

@andrew2019: Report it as a game bug. It SHOULD be working without moving your mouse (at least it has for me since I first started playing this game a month ago.)

I know people have already said similar, but I'd just like to let you know how awesome you are :) You are so good at responding to requests and you put so much effort into what could have been just a simple game that you put up and forgot, just to get some views and ratings. Was a 4/5 , but your impressive commitment to making this a great game makes this a definite 5/5 :)

Could we have some more decimal points for Angel Investors. Just saying that if I do a Reset Game I get 3 billion Angel Investors doesn't help much when I can have anywhere from 3,000,000,000 to 3,999,999,999. Other than that, no problems with the update here. Good job.

i love reading the devs comments back they can be funny and they always seem to respond to me great game looking forward to the future of capitalism maybe a feature to buy out all companies in the world (evil villian laugh)
Oh man, please let us know why! We don't mind the down votes, but if we don't know what happened, we can't fix it. Was it taking down the leaderboards? Did you lose your progress (because we can help you recover it!)? Let us know - even if you leave the 1/5 standing, we'd be happy to jump on any problems you're having.

I know that it's really the least important part of the game, but I find it rather odd that the avatar doesn't update after the monocle. Also, why is the monocle last? I would think the moon base would be last, but that's just me.
Indeed! Actually, we're planning an overhaul of the items - making them purchasable and having them grant bonuses. Thanks for the suggestion though - it's helpful to hear that players would like to see more!

ahhh - You fixed the unmentioned glitch about importing the data onto your hyperhippo website game page for x3 x5 x9 & x11 upgrades - shame!!!
I like the new words for the angels - but would be nice maybe to see the number as well. So I know I have 1 trillion angels to gain - but can also how many billions as well!!
We're fixing this today (the angel investors thing)! As for the version on our website - I can neither confirm nor deny that we kind of forgot to update it. Next question please. ;)

Hopefully next update bring something new...
I mean it's really appreciated that you guys release update to fix bugs, but it's really disapponting to see new update and think new stuff are added in the game, just to see almost just bugs fix was in that update.

I had to change my rating from a 4 to a solid 5. Love the fixes, the UI updates, and the general making-everything-funner!

@Gurplex When you get a bunch of money and stuff up to a trillion or so, check settings and reset your game. It'll give you angel investors.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
It may have been hard to read the number of angel investors before but this is worse. We can't see the number earned going up and our total doesn't tell us if resetting at 500M will give us another billion or not. Commas would be a lot better. I know it would be harder but if you keep the variables going up then you could have a routine that converts it to a string with commas and refreshes every few seconds rather than constantly going up.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Please put the angel investors back as they where. It's really awkward to actually see how many you have now, and considering us top players are only even hitting 12 digits anyway, theres no reason to really shorten it.

On the developer's website the game has cheaper upgrades that offer better multiples (3x,5x,7x,9x,11x; compared to only 3x here). Thanks to the import/export function, you can exploit this.

I also get to a point that at 300 of each, the order of price seems to go crazy. 300 Oil is 16.85 quin, bank 22.884, movies 30.282 and so on and we are north of 60 quin for 300 newspaers. Is this linked to the "* 10" purchase? It seems to go up exponentially for the last few, much above the normal rate. Eg 296 pizza 44.435, 297 50.212, 298 56.75, 299 64.116 300 72.41. This happened today after the upgrade and I reset, and its happened for the second time too. This is running at 13% compound. Oil 300 I get 16.855, 18.035 at 301, ie 7%. needs a look at.

After the latest update - there seems to be some sort of bug causing the amount needed for next purchase to be out of sync with the number displayed on the screen.

I actually like the chaning picture of "me" while me wealth grows and grows... but unfortunately I practically only get to see it at the beginning and when it is finished. I would like it if this picture were somewhere where I can see it change of time.

Would it be possible to change the buttons so that they only light up if you can afford the full 10 when you're in the "Buy X10" mode? It's nothing major, I've just found it to be a bit inconvenient the few times that I try to buy, say, 10 Newspapers and it only gives me 7 because I didn't realize that I didn't have the full amount of money for the 10 due to the button.

still so many glitches in your game. oil company not being sped up by the correct amount. cheaper buildings become more expensive when you have around 250 units. this has been like this for over a week..
We'll take a look into the Oil Rig speed thing. The price structure is intentional though (it just might not make sense at the moment)! This week we were focused on some major bug fixes - we'll be working on the next batch now. Cheers!
