[WIP] CompetitorMod by kristof1104 & DzjengisKhan

Hey @kristof1104 Thank you for designing this mod! Sadly I will not be able to play until Sunday night or Monday but downloading your mod will be the 1st thing I do!

I just have a few suggestions to further expand this mod. breathes in Alright here we go!

  1. Publishing License
    a. Unlockable at level 2
    b. Enables you to create your own game contract work for other development companies to creat your games.
    c. This will be used greatly for promoting your new game system.
    d. Able to choose the Topic and Genre’s as well as the devices.
    e. Instead of someone picking up the job immediately, there will be a searching bar just like when you look to hire someone. You’ll be met with the similar screen but with different companies and their overall design/tech and speed as well as their own counter-offers. The better the company, the higher their price and royalties.
    d. Marketing will be soley on you and not them. - Click on the tag with their name and select “Marketing” and the same thing applies.
    e. If G3 occurrs during game development, hype boost will effect the games hype.

I know your mod kind of defeats the purpose of this, but with this, you won’t obtain maximum profit and even when you are established, you could still send out these contracts if you are trying to send out a few games at once.

Suggestion #2:
I’m not sure if your mod does this but for the bought companies to have their own budgets.
If they go bankrupt, you lose the company and a great deal of fans. Not only the fans that came from that company but fans of the main company as well for poor management.
This would also effect console and game sales for a short peroid of time.

I’ll stop there just in case anything else I suggest is already in this mod.
Once I get to play your mod, I will come back and continue suggestions and feedback!

Some UI issue with one of my employees possibly because of my poor resolution size… Any way to add a “minimize” button to those charts?

I’m also having an issue knowing what the price of the company will be. I tried buying Ubicroft and I was charged 800M which landed me bankrupt. Good thing I saved before that!

Well, cost of buying company is equal to its money.
Its not really profitable, until they will have - money.

Okay… So I have to somehow get more money than them or hope they fail since the sabatoge isn’t available yet.

@MrRain Haxor is right, Currently you need to pay the amount of money the competitor has!

Did you find the competitors money status realistic?

Update:
I’m currently working on Custom Publisher deals.
After that I’ll do some UI tweaking.

The money status is alright. Ya either have to make a ton of good games or get to stage 3 though and build a console so it is challenging.

Can’t wait to see the publishing portion!

I tried your mod and as far as I could see the Ai behaved itself, especially in the begining where the three ai companies had different success, but remained in the fight. I have posted some screenshoots if you need further data, if not disregard (sorry about picture size - quality is good tough so if you zoom in their reedable). And also AWESOME MOD - GREAT WORK !_!







And one from another game session

Kristof, just a suggestion: If you have a console, the other comapnies sometimes ask you for a license so that they can use the platform for their game! That would be awsome :slight_smile:

That’s pretty much the whole idea of the Pubishing Contracts he’s working on at the moment. :wink:

Well, it took a while but I was just able to catch up with MinniSoft and buy them out! I’m sure you can buff the companies a little more once you include the Sabotage feature.

When will you launch the next update?

You need to do that can not be seen after buying BUY COMPANY and have better options to invest in bought Suppose produce or distribute its way through

I hate how I can’t sell them Minnisoft and Sienna just went bankrupt after their 6th game! But proud little Ubicroft did okay earning up to 3 Mil also plz allow to change or minimize the interface because i can’t see two of my workers on the last stage i found a little tiny space to click them but anyways can’t wait to see what you do with this wonderful mod!

okay so i found a glitch i thought they just went bankrupt or maybe they were suppose to stop making games but i loaded the game up again and they started making games again and they both made 9 games and made up to 2 mil and was not bankrupt anymore

@MrTheMikoliny Thx ,Yeah thats no glitch, bankruptcy wasn’t implemented in this alpha.
@supersamuel The next update will take a while have some stuff I have to deal with at home first.

I’m glad to announce that I have continued work on this mod.

  • UI can now be collapsed to make room for clicking on your staff.
  • Currently I’m working on Custom Publishing deals, this is almost done (85% done).

After that I’ll make a few changes and I’ll release another alpha version of the mod.
Should not take to long, about 1 week or so…
