FLX 0.8 early access!
🕑 Added 2024-06-26 20:45:14 +0000 UTCHello everyone! First, we want to apologize! Last month, we decided not to update FLX to give us extra time and room to develop what we wanted to do for it. Although that's not great, we could do much work on it, adding one of the essential gameplay modules that the game needed.
The concert module adds to the much-needed game loop, not just by adding new ways to earn money and spend money (on upgrades!) but also by making training more meaningful and impactful, and finally making some of those secondary stats (like security, trending, etc.) relevant too.
This also required huge changes and rebalances in the current systems while also making a few others more precise (i.e. changing "Wages" to"Efficiency")
If you have already played the game, you are familiar enough with it not to worry about it, but even if you are new, we added new tutorials and a way to see them again in case you are lost!
CHANGELOG
New gameplay module: The concert! Every week, on Sunday, your idol group will perform a show for live audiences in their own club!
Many new upgrades (to improve their training or mood), and others for other facilities (their quality, etc.)
Changed training assignment: Now it's available from the start (although the scenes still unlock later on) and costs money, but you can train any of the idol's stars here.
3 new sketches for a Haigure Dance!
You can personally train the idols, too, to speed up their progress. This is free, but excessive training will reduce their mood.
Branding, security, and trending have been reworked a bit. Now, they impact how many people attend the show. During the early game, it is fine for these numbers to be low; we will add new upgrades in the future.
Added a new currency, IDX or Idol Credits. These are used to purchase special upgrades and are more scarce than regular money. You can get up to 10 a week for now, but we might rebalance it later.
Adjusted the caps for branding, security, and trend from their assignments.
Changed marketing assignment: Now it costs money, but increases trend more.
Changed "wages" for "efficiency," increasing the benefits of overexploiting them.
Now you can find Placeholder at the lab, to rewatch tutorials. We might give him more uses in the future!
There might be a few other changes and adjustments and a few bug fixes (not getting enough branding, etc.), but overall, this summarizes the important changes.
With this said, we want to thank you all for your support and invite you to join our Discord! There, we can answer questions, receive feedback and suggestions, and also give you a sneak peek of what's about to come! Again, thank you very much for your support, and see you soon!
