You've really got to be impressed by the game, and especially the ongoing dev input/management! Cheers! Red Porsches all round!

you are the best. take your time with the recoding of the game. as long as it comes out better in some way shape or form we will be fine. very curious as to what this weeks update is going to be(twists??) and im hoping you get everything you want out of the rework of the game. good luck!

I had a question....when I first started playing way before the 500 count update and only 1 upgrade available everything was X3, then after the update the other upgrades would grade X6, X9, and X11...when I did a hard reset it stayed at X3; is there a reason that happened, and would it be possible to still get that multiplier?

Little bit of a follow-up on the other math post, If angel investor diminishing returns are implemented based on how many you currently have it would probably just change the second part of the equation to a 2^(y/n) where y is some co-efficient of current angel investors and n is a constant. I havent done a reset to test this and base the numbers again to see what math i can figure out based on the different numbers, like going from 110 bill AI to 200 bill ai would cause the 5 sextillion to jump up to like 8 sextillion. If after my next reset, I notice a change in the trend, ill say something. Lets get this equation cracked before the dev's show any source code or reveal anything else!

I'll start by repeating what many have already said, that you're some of the best developers on here. Your love of and dedication to this game is really impressive. Your desire to "get it right," regardless of how many updates are needed, still adding features that make us continue playing this game is truly great. It's no surprise that the game took off the way it did.
In terms of this overhaul that you have planned, I don't mind it - and I'm sure most others who love this game don't either. You goal is to make this the best experience it can be and to give your audience what it wants out of this game. If it takes a couple weeks to rebuild the game, so be it. Can't wait to see what you have in store for us :)

just bumped the game up to 5 stars from 4 stars (it was once 3 stars) primarily because of the continued support of the staff and because it was the first game by the original maker, keep it coming hyperhippo, great job

EVERYONE WHO DOESN'T LIKE MATH, JUST IGNORE THIS POST.
I did some calculations on my thought about how the angel investors work, just an idea
So, at 110 bill angel investors and pretty fast income,about 1 angel investor to every $5 sextillion assuming the diminishing returns are done. Early on it seems that 1 angel investor is ~= to every 30 billion. So assuming the diminishing returns increment doubles the requirement for an angel investor it would implement itself about 37 times to increase the total cost 137,438,953,472 times the original, it seems to implement the same way, originally starting at about 1 trillion dollars and multiplying about 12 times each time, so going 1 trillion 12 trillion 144 trillion and so on. So the equation for angel investors should looks like
AI= 30,000,000X - 2^(X/1649267441664).
Where X = All time cash earned. This causes the left side to = 0 early on but cause it to gain meaning later on, but there must a limit on the power of the X at the right

Reading the latest update (July 8th, 2014), as with any other update, I feel more indebted to the game because it is an ongoing project that is being taken on by a person who wants to do more. Anyway, my rambling comes down to this: I like reading the updates and I like the game. Great job so far.

I noticed that in late-game increasement of AA is falling down. When I was about 450-500 lvl of Oli Company AA increasement was about 60k-70k per one Oil cycle. Now, at lvl 595, it is about 40k-45k AA per cycle.

so my game has started rolling back as 5 hours ago i had half my stuff at 500 now i come back and its just over 400 strange

looks like theres a bug on the oil invest achieve at 400 units, it doesnt actually double the speed. it stays at 18sec for me

So, I bought 300 Oil Companies then started buying 300 of each of the lower stores in order and now the Oil companies are less expensive than everything else. It seems like the stuff I buy first is less expensive then the stuff I buy later. Is this normal?

I have been playing this game for well over a month now, and SOMEHOW I a full reset on me tonight, losing my billions of investors?
Forget this game... I am done.
We definitely don't want to waste your time! However, if you would like to continue from where you were, please send us a bug report with what happened, and how much progress you lost. We'll get you back on your feet in no time. Sincerest apologies - we are currently working on a much better save structure to prevent mishaps like this in the future.

The earth's total population is roughly 7 billion, so since you can get over 7B angel investors I'm going to assume that your investors are literally angels who are investing in your company. That puts the maximum number of angel investors at 107 billion (number of people that have ever lived, assuming everybody goes to heaven). After that we will need to start gathering investments from the spirits of dead aliens (I guess the creators of this game are scientologists).

this game is by far the best idle game i have ever played. I love how you have angel investors so you don't get bored and there is a reason to reset you put so much effort into it and keep making it better :D keep up the good work

Repeating question about AI gain. Devs stated that there is some kind of diminishing returns involved, but it's not very noticeable in the short term, but did anyone manage to somehow calculate that? I assumed the AI number is related to total money earned, but every reset it's becoming slower and slower (atm I have 18 billion investors total, with 14 nonillion dollars, and on current run I already hit 18 nonillion dollars with only 8.7 billion AI to be gained upon reset, even though I reset every time to get exactly double the income I previously had).
Eventually we'll release the formula, but right now our plan is to tie it into an in-game upgrade or manager. I apologize for not answering your question more thoroughly - I'm not dodging it for the sake of being obtuse, I just want to keep the audience guessing for now (unless, of course, someone cracks the equation).

I am just curious to know how angel investors are earned is it from spending, earning, time played, or all of them combined?

Weird, played last night, came here to play again, and game didn't move at all, I have the same money and investors I had, like if the offline system didn't work. Now tried again closing it and it did work. Pretty weird but now I think of it, it isn't the first time it happens in almost completed games for me :/
It's due to "suspending" your game, instead of closing it! We discovered this in our mobile testing (and from other dedicated Capitalists). We'll fix this - but for now, your game has to be closed or opened to gain money - suspending it (like closing a laptop) messes with the offline feature.

Quite a lot of fun, and idle games usually bore me. I think the upgrading paths are what are fascinating, as is the idea of making so much moola. I wish there were a few other clicks to take advantage of while waiting for money to accumulate (or to speed it up a little!)

WTF!!!! Second time this shyt crashed on me and started me back at the beginning. What a huge waste of time. Good game turned sour with big problems like this.
Yikes! If you'd like to continue, send us a bug report and mention in it (again) how much progress you lost. We'll get you back on track - sorry for your inconvenience!

I think once you get to super expensive assets (like 250+ octillion for oil well, this is at 600+) it's better to restart daily as those angel investors increase your income more than the few assets you can afford. Starting to track my AI earned per day, and so far it is 1.92 billion day 1, 1.98b day 2, despite them getting more expensive.

why does the bank make money faster than movie studio if movie studio is before bank? is this that achievement glitch, i think it is.
It might depend on how many of each you have - but if you experience any bugs, try to do an export / hard reset / and re-import. That should solve the issue.

I love that I'm making more from selling Lemonade that then entire world's GDP for a year.... several times every second. Capitalism rules!

Ryan got it all squared away and i got my angel investors back. You guys did a fantastic job! Time to get ALL the capitalism complete! Also, note to everyone else, once you export you can open up a word document and create a backup of the code incase your power surges and you lose your save.
