Update 1.1.4.2 City hype, less annoying random events

Rock God Tycoon · published 25 Apr 2017, 09:40 UTC

All eventsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

Quality of life


You can now toggle between the normal cursor and the Windows default cursor. F3 to toggle between the two options.

Cancelling events via the dateboxes shown at the top of the main hub has been around for a while but it wasn't really explained anywhere so there is now a tooltip for it.

City hype


In an attempt to make the mid to late game more exciting we have added city hype. What this means is that certain cities that you are popular in will reach out to you and offer to pay more to see you perform at one of their local venues. This makes the world feel more active and rewards players for sticking to cities early on. Hopefully this change makes some of the early challenges a little less difficult.

Event redundancy system


Seeing the same random events hundreds of times can get annoying. To fix this we can either add a lot more events (which would involve a lot of writing and programming) or we can extend the life time of the ones we already have. When I wrote the event system originally it did not store any information about the message after it had passed. The new system can track how many times you've seen a message and what choices you have made.

I'm slowly working my way through all the previously created events to allow for a more dynamic and less repetitive experience. An example of this is shown when getting the "dropped money" event. Instead of always saying, "You found $100!", it will instead (upon its second occurence) say, "You must be a money magnet because you found another $50!". This way it feels a little different and makes starting a new game all the more refreshing.

Changelog 1.1.4.2


New Stuff

  • Message redundancy system implemented
  • Added two new message events, (31, 32)
  • Added two new character descriptions
  • City hype, if you have at least 25% of a city population as fans, there is a chance they'll get hyped to see you perform and pay extra at venues for a limited time
  • Cursor can now be toggled between ingame and Windows default with F3
  • Event cancellation tooltip now displayed when hovering over dateboxes


Minor Changes

  • Reduced random event occurrence by about 18%
  • Flipping man, fan dream, satanic accusations, and dropped money events have redundancy message modifications


Bug fixes

  • Fixed bug with "Fan dream" message event that would give player $100 after clicking OK
  • Fixed rent displaying as "Rent divided by 12"

Rock God TycoonCommunity13 Apr 2019Duke of Defense Is Now Available!Hey everyone, Seabass here! You may have noticed that I went silent for a while... I spent about a year working on a new game that I feel is my greatest work and one that I am actually very proud of. I poured my soul into this game and really wanted to create a passion fueled experience. The soundtrack is HUGE , there is a LOT of content, and of course a healthy dose of my silly Seabass humor.…Rock God TycoonCommunity22 Jun 2018The Dev Journey (50% off for Summer sale!)Hey rockstars and washed-up-has-been rockstars! Today we would like to take a moment to celebrate/discuss how far this game has come. Tycoon games have always been held to a pretty high standard in regards to balance and pacing. The truth to it is that no game will be perfect for everyone and Rock God Tycoon is no exception. We've read reviews praising the game for being the very best tycoon ga…Rock God TycoonGame update15 Mar 2018Small fix for missing backgrounds!Missing backgrounds We've made a small change that hopefully will resolve the issue where the apartment backgrounds won't load correctly. This won't resolve the issue with intel integrated graphics as that is out of our control. Seabass's Twitter (programmer) Panos's Twitter (artist) Keep rockin' on! :RockSign:
