It's a decent management game, but it seems to have gotten harder than when I first tried it. On the lowest difficulty setting, you cannot get off the ground with your own creations, you have to use franchises. It still needs a lot of polishing too, the most annoying bug is when you load a save, it re-sets the publishing/printing contract to the one you started with, so you gotta re-negotiate the contract (and pay a signing bonus) every time you start. It also crashes on me a lot. It didn't at first, but something is making it worse over time. I had it loaded on 3 different computers, and they all did the same thing... the longer the same game goes on, the more prone it is to crashing. Start a new game, and it works fine for a while. Which brings up another point, no cloud saves! Which means if you play the game on a different device, you have to start all over again. It could use some more features too, like a simple spreadsheet to show who's working on what. When you open an em...

User Reviews
I can not recommend this game for now. On the very beginning, you MUST create a comic after a comic. You usually don't have a time to make enough comics in time before you go bankrupt. Especially, when someone has only one hand :D That balance patch made it probably worse before it was. I don't want any money back as I trust this enough, that might be a great project, worth of waiting. Dev, if you need any help, reach out to me. //EDIT: It is getting better and better. Just few days after the sale and I feel like I am making the game! Great job DEV! Info for everyone else out there: I would recommend to buy this game as the Dev is working on it day by day. Your input will be most appreciate.as you will be heard out! Let's buy it, create a great community and support Dev! If players dies, the game as well. Don't be so wasteful! //UPDATE 2024 Unfortunatelly, there are no more updates form Dev since Sep23 and this is a dead project. It was a good try though.
At the time being you can only hire employees to "create comics," just to guess what the sliders mean from reviews trying to find a sweet spot. It works. It's just barebones. Edit: But lots of updates.
It's REALLY clunky right now, but the idea is awesome and I can just tell it's gonna be great in the future.
Got rich selling Dracula Hentai 10/10
I bought this game partially because I want to see more from this dev, possibly a sequel of this game in the future— and partially because the game has a strong premise. It's a little rough around the edges (many bugs), a lot of the core systems are bare bones. However, it makes up for it with an abundance of systems. There is a strong foundation here, and I hope to this improved on, if there is any sequel.
I really like the idea and the logic of the game. It needs more refinement, but is a really good start. A 6.5 on 10 for now, but it definitely can improve a lot with only some small modifications.
