I don't undertand exactly how interested people comes in play when i play with that sort of "wheel of fortune". I don't think either if the theme fits exactly here, because you can become a monster, but the theme is that you are already a monster.\rBut It's very impresive what you accomplished in the time. Great work!!"},{"author_name":"DevastationTea","author_uid":"55606","time":"Aug 25, 2015 @ 8:06pm","epoch":1440532860,"text":"Cool cool.

I wish it was longer and had more variety of events and different types of upgrades. The idea is pretty cool, it has a lot of potential.\r\rHowever I feel that the concept requires exceptional writing to keep the player curious and interested. I understand that English is not your native language, but the game experience would be much improved if the writing was more clear and interesting.\r\rAlso, it seems that the initial viewer interests are randomized each time you start a new game. The first time I played most of the categories were very low. Then the first event came and reduced everything by -15% leaving everything at 0% interest.\r\rStill, I enjoyed it a lot. Great work! I'd like to see an improved post-jam version :)"},{"author_name":"Cake_Catastrophe","author_uid":"5901","time":"Aug 25, 2015 @ 8:44pm","epoch":1440535140,"text":"Nice game, I enjoyed watching my ratings and demographics grow. Everything seemed rather difficult until a certain point on about days 3\/4 when suddenly my income went from ~500 per day to ~10000+ and suddenly I could buy everything (incidentally, I found that if you tried to buy more staff than the maximum, a console appeared on screen with a null ref error).\r\rAfter that point, it was pretty easy, even if I said no to all the dodgy deals. Also, the slider minigame thing seemed a little out of place, although it did add some excitement."},{"author_name":"Grhyll","author_uid":"55071","time":"Aug 27, 2015 @ 9:23am","epoch":1440667080,"text":"Nice polished game!\rAfter loosing on day 1 on my two first attemps, I waited a little longer to buy upgrades, and finally everything went a lot smoother ^^\rAs Cake_Catastrophe said, there is a pike in the game where you go from some hundred dollars to hundreds of thousands, it makes everything a lot easier!\rThe musics are great, by the way, and the mini game is amusing."},{"author_name":"goodbadokay","author_uid":"47147","time":"Aug 27, 2015 @ 6:01pm","epoch":1440698160,"text":"Perfect game, i like it, i won it.:)"},{"author_name":"KaiseanGames","author_uid":"44370","time":"Aug 30, 2015 @ 12:18pm","epoch":1440936780,"text":"Interesting.

I especially liked the music.\rLots and lots of content! I'm impressed that you managed to write all this in such a short time.\rTo fit the theme a little more, you should make the "bad choices" good for popularity. I felt like every immoral decision had bad consequences, so I had no interest to become a monster.\rI think the game needs more balancing as I earned more than 40'000$ the second day and managed to buy all the upgrades at once. On top of that, I managed to have more employees than the "max". In the end, adding one more employee would cost 2 millions (a little too much maybe?).\rAnyway, that's great enjoyable work here! Good job!"},{"author_name":"sorlok","author_uid":"28370","time":"Sep 10, 2015 @ 3:52am","epoch":1441856820,"text":"Very cool concept; not sure how the theme applies.
