Thank you all for the suggestions! I have heard a few times that the game was not balanced or really fun at the start of the game where you don't have enough money to get apartments. There were not enough employees to fill the roles that are needed, making you wait on police heat and gang heat to go down.
Here is what I changed and what I added.
Please note, that it was added fast as game balance, it might not be very pretty.
- The Gang Heat and Police Heat timer is now ticking down a bit faster. Meaning, that those 2 stats will go down faster.
- Jobs now give a bit more money as a reward. The first job generates less police heat.
- The Hideout
The story behind the hideout is in the game, feel free to read it if you want to.
The important part is, that you can now have a max of 8 employees instead of only 2. You still start the game with 2, then upgrade max 6 times to get up to 8. The upgrades are cheap and should be affordable with 1-2 jobs.
Since you now have 8 people working, you can assign some more to lawyers and thugs and get the police heat and gang heat down even faster.
For the future I want to rework the jobs and police/gang heat with minigames, but that would take more time. This is just a quick fix of the problem.
Hope you enjoy! And hope I have not created new bugs with this update, should not... the game launch was pretty much bug free till now.ːlunar2019deadpanpigː
