    Hey! First off thanks for making this game, it’s really very good. I’ve been putting way too much time into it.

    A couple of questions though-

    I’ve gotten to the point where I have a lot of money sitting around and the new contracts aren’t coming fast enough. I hired a second Account Manager when my first AM was 9 days out from a new deal, figuring that I could get a new deal every 9 days instead of every 18.

    However as soon as I hired him they synced their schedules and they were both getting only one new deal between them on the same day. As it is there’s no reason to have more than one Account Manager.

    Is this intentional, or a bug? It makes growing the business very slow at this point.

    Also, the game allows you to buy more than 3 coffee machines for each bathroom/restaurant/etc and they just stack over the previous ones. Do mood bonuses continue to stack indefinitely or is this a waste of money?

    Finally, it’d be nice to be able to zoom out at least twice as far.

    Sorry for the long ass comment! Nice work on this game dude.

      Hey! Glad you like the game!

      About the Account Managers. All AM’s you hire after the first one is only helping the first one with new contracts. That means that the contracts will be larger, and come through a bit quicker. Now, “a bit quicker” is not double speed. If you want double speed on the contracts then you need to hire 12 account managers. Then you also get about 10 times more work on the new contracts as well. After the update goes through, you’ll only need 6-7 AM’s to double the speed of getting new contracts.

      Replacing a coffee machine with another coffee machine is a waste of money, however replacing a flower with a coffee machine is not.

      I’ll think about the zoom, i’ve been asked this before.

    Love the game! Got it with indie gala 9 and haven’t stopped playing yet! Still not too good but I’ll get there :P

    My question is, how does one go about obtaining updates/patches for this game?

      Hey, glad you like it! It usually takes a couple of tries before you nail the perfect strategy. =)
      Updates and patches to the game will be made available through Indiegala when they come out. Is there anything in particular you were thinking about?

        Not really, was just wondering, good to hear IndieGala will be getting the updated files, keep up the fantastic work!

        Might just have to pick it up through Desura, and hopefully Steam when it passes greenlight :)
