I really agree with merch! As a long time wota, I owe my being broke to idol merch. and on that note, and I just started the game so if this is already a thing, I'm sorry, but member colors!! or the option of having member colors! with bonuses where girls desire a certain color as a wish, or get a small bonus from having their favorite colors... colors giving small stat buffs (pink being cute, yellow energetic, blue being cool etc) 
and if there is a generation system implemented, new members looking up to their senpai or wanting to inherit their color!

loving the game so far!!

A randomize function for creating main character & company names  at the start of a new game would be appreciated.

YES THIS I was really upset there wasn't a random button and that I had to think of a name

I want to flirt with my loli idols T_T

I don't think Steam would let that slide xD

Do you have plans for mod support?

It'd be great if you could start planning a date with an idol without interrupting their current activity. Balance-wise this changes nothing since you can just pause the game, cancel the activity, start planning, and reassign the idol, but it'd be a big QoL improvement.

The character's talent is more fun to keep secret for a few months.

If check immediately at the time of audition, use Research Points.


It's a good idea, but I think it should be decided by options or difficulty settings.

I don't want to hire people with negative traits, even in the platinum class.

I think that a good producer can detect the characteristics from a little word and action without any special investigation. (Actually, the idol's comment at the time of joining is determined by the characteristics)

SPOILERS:



After nation of idols my idol that I had max relationship with was not happy and just insta left it feels kind of of out of context, being that she did not say anything about our relationship. There should be a way to at least make her stay with influence since you can do that with regular graduating idols.

Other then that so far I enjoy the game.

i think it would be pretty cool if we had an option to add makeup to our idols, just like how we can choose their outfits.

Gonna throw my hat in as opposing this one. I think it's relevant to the current day. That said, it's something that almost certainly needs to go for German sales to be a thing (sigh), and I'm sure an option somewhere to turn these sorts of things off may be appreciated by some.

I think child fans can be added to the demographics in the game since there are some idols that are 12 (or under if you make your own) and here’s how you can get them!

1. Performing at kid’s concerts( casual or hardcore)

2. Promoting products for kids such as toys( can either be male or female and casual)

3. Modeling for children’s clothes(casual but mostly female)

4. Children’s music can be a new song genre(not talking about nursery rhymes!) But you can make song covers from anime for kids such as Yume wo kanaete  Doraemon, theme songs from the Pretty Cure franchise and more

5. Have them be featured in anime or manga for the kiddos

6. In the cafe, you can serve food for kids or a kids menu

And that is all have!


Fun fact: IRL some idols have kids for fans, for example, During Prizmmy’s final concert one of their pictures feature them with there fans (with most being children and teens)

Prizmmy has a younger demographic

Is there a way to make an event unlock a body/face/accessory ? I've seen a post speak about a ignore.json but I see no reference to it in the Idol Manager Editor and I've seen no example of it in the workshop mods; so I was wondering if we maybe make it ignore say 0.png from a given folder if variable != x or y ( then modify say variable in the event Effect.

Not possible right now, but I'll try to think of a way to implement this

Thanks, that would be amazing. ^_^

1. i think it's a good QoL improvement to add a full screen view mode to the idol tab.

2. there should be an option in auto practice and styling to not continue train/style idol on their maxed potential stat, or make it so we can set minimum/maximum practice/style requirement for each idol. (on a sidenote, i can't tick which visual parameter for each idol to focus on, is this a bug or there's something im missing?)

3. each tab should be able to keybinded for ease of use.

4. the spinning wheel in the concert should be skippable or fast forwarded,  it gets really repetitive after a while.

5. idols stats as a staff if you recruit them after graduating should be based off their stats(semi randomized) or each idol should have a hidden staff skill parameter.

6. maybe not necessary, but i think in the late game there should be more of a challenge even in normal mode, especially in the leaderboard, there's certainly a point where the game feels finished and its kinda pointless to keep going because no one can challenge you anymore, ofc this disrupts the "power fantasy" so this might not be a 100% good change for all players.

great game, definitely have potential to be awesome! do you guys intend to add full mod support in the future?

Item #2 is already a thing. There are three policies you can apply to your group to limit auto-training based on minimum attribute value, maximum attribute value and idol stamina.

(1 edit)

Unfortunately no, #2 isn't yet a thing; the policies allow you to set arbitrary global cap at 20, 50 or 80 points, but there's no option to stop training given idol once she hits her specific potential in given skill. Which would be useful to have, as training beyond the potential takes 10x longer.

Can you guys add a method to get alot of fans. Something like marketing campaigns where you can pay high amounts of cash to get some fans. Really would make the late game more enjoyable. Btw nerf concerts and the mental health is kinda buggy, you can give the idols 1 yen per week and they still work like they normal do.

Hi, from playing the game for 22 hours this week there are some things I think should be added or changed or added.

  • The dialogue with the idols can get kinda stale like the gossip and rumours stay the same for a really long time it would be nice if there was a little more to it?

  • MORE OUTFITS. It would be cool if the girls got more outfit choices the higher their cool, cute, smart, sexy, and pretty scores were. Like some girls only have one accessory and the lack of customization just makes them all look too similar. So it would be nice to diversify. 


  • It would be cool to have male idols as well but I understand that is a lot harder to implement since the game has already been released. Maybe a DLC idea for the future?


  • Something I find really annoying is in the cafe it splits up the group menus. I feel like the menus overall should be shared so it is easier to navigate because I can't list menu items from one group on some days and then the other group on other days if that makes sense. Also, it says that the second group can be part of the main group in activities and songs and stuff so why not in the cafe/ menu. 


  • Maybe displaying the picture of idols that have graduated just cause its nice to see what they used to look like and stuff. 


  • Other ways to gain stamina back? I usually have to put girls on hiatus because their stamina drains a lot and the spa isn't good enough. I also have a break room and doctor but it still takes ages. I think in the later game another building or something could be added maybe?


1. The profits from the concert are so good. 

In difficult difficulty level, it would be good to debuff the profits.

I think it would be good to set a narrow ticket price range.


2. Underground idols rely on performance revenue. I hope to maintain management with minimum performance revenue.

AD or Photograph is a big event for underground idols. Maybe it's an opportunity to escape an underground idol.

So I think it would be good to reduce the business offer a little


3. Overall, the difficulty level is also too easy. I hope there is a much more difficult level than now.

Otherwise, the current mode manager cannot modify the concert or performance effect.

 I think it would be good to upload a new version of the enhanced mode manager. Then the users will create a very hardcore mode.

Hi,

First of, I bought this game after watching a French streamer (JDG) play, I didn't know if I would like it, and can't stop playing since. So good job!

Now I do have a (well 2) problem with the theater.

1. There is no stamina management for the theater, so I had to destroy it because it was killing my idols. Maybe doing like for the café would be a good idea.

2. It seems like the streaming revenue in the theater aren't shown in the income/outcome panel at the bottom of the screen.

Oh and I might have another suggestion about the theater. EVERTYTHING in the game is based on weekly revenue, except the theater. Why? Making it all weekly would make it easier to read and manage.

- Add the ability to automatically assign all girls in a unit the same uniform (or a predefined set for each individual girl that is similar in shape and color), so you can easily differentiate between units.

- When a girl's skill reaches its potential, it would be really convenient to see that value displayed in the girl's tab in the main screen with a different color, so as to possibly manually prevent her from continuing to train that skill with a great deal of time and resources.

You can press F7 five times to enable debug mode and launch any event from there

Hello,

Some suggestions :

  1. Add idol graduation date in their profile, when you have a lot of idol it's hard to remember
  2. Add possibility to filter songs when selecting song for a concert
  3. Add possibility to sort singles by date, fan satisfaction etc
(+3)

Adding to #1, it'd be nice if graduated idols were moved to some sort of "hall of fame" where you could view their profiles, or something along these lines. As a bonus, this could open up a possibility to (still) interact with them in some manner.

Also, maybe an option to set a concert as a "graduation ceremony" for an idol that's about to leave soon? It could make the fan base of that particular idol more likely to attend, or smth.

Something about idol contract. The managing idol of the game is good and all but I think this is what is lacking. The idol I manage seem to like doing scandalous thing and I am the one who has to clear it with no penalty to the idol. Also, some of the more orthodox IRL companies have a contract that's quite complex with hefty penalties for breaking it and some about the term of contract like maybe four years.

(+1)

I don't know if someone suggested this already but it would be really nice if you could have a "pre-sorting" group where the idols are listed as "trainees," and you can choose to dispose of them before you finalize them for debut. I like to think of my idols realistically where big idol entertainment companies enlist newbies to train before debuting. And then once debuting it makes sense that you can't switch them around after a year. My issue is that once I create new groups, I can't move idols already under a sister group even though their demographics make much more sense in the new group. I have to wait a whole year before that. If they were listed as trainees and not confirmed for debut then moving them around with be so much easier T_T Idk if that made sense, I just want to be able to switch them around more fluidly. In the meantime I'm just using their outfits to distinguish which group they are a part of.

And it would be kind of cool to be able to do plastic surgery >u< cuz of how realistic that is... but I get that it wouldn't make much sense in the game cuz of the current structure as well as the art.

Also I would love to see male idols :3

overall I LOVE this game. I am thoroughly addicted and my work/school is suffering ;_; (jk not really) but keep in mind I'm not the type of person to play ALOT of games so this says a lot! Great work.
