Intrusive Messages

Any plans to make the notifications less intrusive? I’ve been playing for a few days now and all I can say is damn it’s annoying. It seems like every 15 - 20 seconds something is flying up in my face. Why not make them appear in the lower right corner of the screen and remove the need to interact with them?

Also what is up with the little dudes just quitting while working on something, usually during contracts? The little bubbles will just quit flying and they just sit there while time runs out.

*edit - also it would be nice to see what technology you used when you look in your game history.

Are you remembering to send your workers on vacation? They don’t like working when they’re tired.

oh yea, as soon as the little bar appears i send them unless they’re doing a game. it seems to just pause and it lasts for like a week and then they’ll go back to working at the regular pace.

That would be the head scratching. I think its supposed to represent them being stuck on a problem.

ahh ok. thought they were just doing nothing. seems brilliant to know they’ve hit a wall and you’re screwed. cool little game though if it had more depth they would have something really awesome.

I agree, specially the visitor counter for the game booth at the convention is really annoying and disruptive (even when passing it fast), but at the same time I enjoy it because it gives me a feeling of achievement.

Unless you name your character Steve Jobs hehe… I would also like to get a whip implemented lol

Maybe it could be a hidden easter egg if you call your company “Electronic Arts” that you can’t send your workers on holiday xD

I believe if you train your workers, the less they will scratch their heads.

yea I only noticed it in the early stages of the game. i thought it was a bug is why I brought it up. now if I could just find some easy to digest info on how the sliders/percentages work in the later stages for mid-large development. found a wiki article on it but either it’s poorly written or rocket science - either way it’s so confusing i can’t make heads or tails of it.
