Under rating threshold (show) it would be cool if somehow, like, when you changed how many of each thing you want to buy (1x, 10x) then the prices changed too to show you if you had enough. i don't know why but i get really embarrassed when i mean to buy 10 and instead buy 9.

This is coming! Probably tomorrow! We got a lot of feedback for it, so we're making it happen!

Under rating threshold (show) Why does nobody notice at the 100 mark Lemonade costs about 3 thousand and News 70 million (23 thousand times as much) and Car wash is 353 million (about 5 times as much as News. Then at the 200 mark Lemonade costs about 2 million and News is 82 trillion ! (41 million times as much as Lemonade) and Car wash is about 173 trillion (barely over 2 times as much as News). This game is about numbers. Sometimes it's worth buying just a few of a business, to bring in more money per cycle (if the time to finish is short enough) Sometimes it's worth "losing money" (where it costs more than the business produces) if it gains a milestone & speed bonus especially when it affects the others. Mindlessly clicking a hundred at a time down the list is just poor business strategy. Learning when to "level up" each business & when to reset to gain more investors is key.

Thanks for the heads up! This is a display issue we're working on right now. It'll be fixed in the next update.

Under rating threshold (show) I think people would accept the "inverted pricing" more if they understood why. The only reasons I can think of right now are that 1. it creates a tradeoff between upgrading just the good stuff to get money and upgrading the overpriced stuff too so you can get the bonus for having 300 of everything, and 2. It offsets that the upgrades for newspaper are cheaper Number 2 isn't a very good reason, though.

Under rating threshold (show) To the Developer, i applaud your perseverance on the inverted pricing structure from newspapers to oil rigs. However you are fighting a losing battle. People are down rating the game for it. What is your pride worth?

+ - !

(12)

Developer response from HyperHippoGames

I think we see these matters quite differently. It's not that I have a personal attachment to the way it is, it's just that I have a particular design in mind. Down voting is certainly not something to fear - it's the voice YOU guys have to let us know when you don't like what you see. ALWAYS vote your opinion. But I'd really rather try to make the game the way I imagine, than switch gears too drastically. But I hope you believe me when I say it's not a matter of pride. My only goal is to make a game that you guys enjoy. Truth be told - one reason I'm stoked for the design I have is that it's different from other idle games. I'm really trying to embrace those differences. Naturally, your mileage may vary.

Under rating threshold (show) I have been playing this game and enjoying it so far but I haven't one major complaint. My computer has been getting some BSoDs lately (unrelated to this game) and so my computer restarts automatically. If it does this and I try to restore the game from Google Chrome it always resets my game to 0 dollars. If I restart the game by going to Kong and then selecting the game I get back to where I was. Please try to find a fix to this somehow!! This has happened at least 3 times now before I figured out the cause. I want to play but can't keep going through this heartache!

+ - !

Developer response from HyperHippoGames

We're trying to figure out another means to save progress. Unfortunately, it doesn't appear to be possible with the Kongregate API. We're exploring other options as well. Right now, crashes and unexpected restarts are like the plague to AdVenture Capitalist. For now (until we can work out a fix) I highly recommend backing up your games with the export feature. Truly sorry for your inconvenience.

Under rating threshold (show) all the upgrades for me are "X3" i think is a bug

+ - !

(-2)

Developer response from HyperHippoGames

Nope! That's how it is. We emergency patched those numbers when we thought they were ruining the game, but it turns out the issue was bug related. However - I don't want to do anymore last minute balancing, so those numbers are going to stay, and we're going to implement more upgrades and features that make up the short fall.

Under rating threshold (show) The lemonade stands become pretty obsolete after 500 (for the 500 of everything achievement). Maybe in the next update we could get a permanent achievement for getting the lemonade stand up to 1000 (perhaps +1% angel investor).

+ - !

Developer response from HyperHippoGames

Secretly, my goal is that by the end of the End Game, Lemonade Stands will be as powerful as Oil Rigs. They should shine as a symbol of your wealth and power. Those upgrades are coming soon-ish.

We'll be incorporating new upgrades soon that make the journey to 500 easier. We'll also be putting in some new End Game stuff soon!

Under rating threshold (show) Not sure if it's a bug or random; but if it's a design choice, I find it odd that I earned the moon base before the yacht. For that matter, iirc I got the base before the car. I guess they must be constructed of unobtanium.

If our new End Game stuff winds up a flop, we'll quickly switch to a more predictable model. Though I kinda like how different it makes AdVenture Capitalist from other idle games.

Under rating threshold (show) It would be nice if there was some sort of $ per second you could see once the progress bars stop moving because they are instant. It makes it impossible to judge the value of 2 different businesses if you have no idea how much money its making per second.

Under rating threshold (show) why do I need unity to play an idle game...

+ - !

(0)

Developer response from HyperHippoGames

Yeah... a good question. In all honesty - it was developed in Unity for very unrelated reasons, and then it took off like crazy (like, completely out of the blue). We're figuring out our long term plans, but the final ultimate version is not likely to be in Unity.

Thanks for saying so - obviously I don't want to encourage anyone to give up their hard earned progress, but the game runs not too bad from scratch. In any case - I'm just glad people are playing it!

Does your Soft Reset button say "and earn 0 Angel Investors"? This is a very unusual problem.

Under rating threshold (show) Commas or something like that in the number of investors both current and to be earned by restarting would help us compare what we are getting to what we have. I don't know if anyone else does it that way but that is a big factor on me choosing to reset or not.

That listing was for the wrong prices on certain managers. The inverted pricing scale is intentional!
