I mentioned the other day in my money guide that I had thought there was a drop in money for more cameras. I think that the MAIN thing for making money is that MAX is in a camera room when the HOUR changes. Yes, if there are more people than Max (Alice movie/Tv watching) the amount increases. The problem is that more cameras seems to make ALL amounts go DOWN. So as I said in my guide, do NOT buy cameras unless you NEED them (or you have INSANE money). :)

TY for the tests, I'm to LAZY to bother. :) I don't know if I want the camera and money to be fixed, because I worry that the early game BIG money will disappear.

Just a thought.

P.S. We MUST all unite beneath the PRO Chocolate Chip Cookie Banner and SAVE the world. :)

Yeah I think there's probably two issues with the way it works right now. One is that I think you're right that it puts too much weight on whether Max is in the room or not. Most people who might pay for these cams would be guys. They want to see the girls, not Max. The second issue is that I think you're right about them reducing the amount that all cameras can make every time you buy an additional one. That makes no sense at all.

IMO whether Max is in the room or not should have almost no impact on the money. What should matter is whether there are girls in the room and whether they're doing anything hot. So the bathroom should earn more than it does now since the girls are naked in there. The bedrooms should earn more than they do now for similar reasons. The lounge should earn a lot less than it does now except when there's something good happening like Anne doing something with Eric or Max doing something with Alice or Kira, etc.

IMO income should go up, not down when you buy more cams but that means that initial lounge cam should make a lot less than it does currently. I think the new loan option takes care of the issue of not having enough money early in the game. It's pretty easy to grab at least $1000 worth of loans as soon as it becomes available if you have a little bit saved up to pay off the first one and just get a new one immediately. In fact the play testing I was doing yesterday I was able to get the $5000 loan that first day.

As I said before.. I'm to LAZY to do tests, but I think that the drop in money is more about the viewers you have. Because of this, when MAX is not in a room the viewer count (and money) drops. With extra cameras the viewers are spread out and DROP in areas that Max is NOT more quickly than you gain them in the room that Max IS. Because of this you end up with fewer TOTAL viewers at the end of the day, plus I think that NO viewers get added during SLEEP.

I don't know how this might be fixed. Also, I fear that any fix could mess up the early single camera benefit. Thus I say that if someone WANTS a second camera they should put it in the POOL area. This gives the best viewer count because you can spend time with one of the ladies for a boost (Alice during the day, Lisa in the afternoon, and Kira (when she arrives) in the early morning). After the second camera choosing where to place the third (and later others) gets more tricky. I recommend the LAST cameras be placed in the BATHROOM then the PATIO(eating area). Those to seem to be the worst paying cameras (at this time). The Bedrooms don't get a lot of use right now, but hopefully will be better later in the game.

So, I recommend NOT buying cameras until you NEED them, then get the pool camera followed by ONLY the cameras for rooms that you need for events/paths/opportunities.

Hope this helps. :)

P.S. I ALSO recommend supporting Chocolate Chip Cookies and FIGHTING against EVIL Oatmeal Raisin Cookies. :)

does the update come tomorrow or not? I think Aleksey is very careless. when it comes to admitting his paying customers to where they have paid.

They do not stop giving dates, it is better not to ask when you see the update that day will be the date
