Popularity Levels

[PrincessMolestia]

Been on the grind to 100% all the achievements before the DLC comes out. Don't know what "The thresholds for popularity levels have been significantly lowered across the board" whatever the percentage is but before the patch I played for 1 hour and gained 3% towards level 10 popularity.
Just played for an hour and felt like it was 3-4%. Don't know how that's a significant number but it sure doesn't feel any faster after the patch.

I would just wait for the DLC, hopefully it will just boost the popularity enough so that it wont be such a grind. I am also on Pop 9 currently but I dropped the game when I saw the announcement and just waiting for the DLC at the moment.

Yes. it sounded like there will be 9 new levels in the DLC, bringing the max to 19? But I have a feeling I have misunderstood that...

The Popularity metric is horrid... Just spent 2 hours playing and went from Level 8 10% to Level 8 14%... 2% an hour with max cleanliness and me servicing Tills and Fuel for max tips etc etc is awful.

Popularity was never intended to be easily maxed, it's just something for people who play extendedly after the full storyline to have another way of progress/achievement hunters/for bragging rights.

We're open to adjusting further - and to the feedback, of course.

We're actively producing stuff for the game and working on further optimizations, quality of life changes, and bugfixes.

Are you guys going to be extending the map? or adding new businesses to build or anything like that? I've maxed out on almost everything and I really do like the game but am kind of getting over it with the repetitiveness'. Just wondering if there is more to look forward to. Absolutely love the game though, I had a lot of fun playing it. Lost a whole day to it lol

Hey! Currently we're working on additional free DLC to the game – Drive-In Cinema DLC. Apart from that, there is still Shady Deals DLC in the works, and that's all I can say for now. Hope it helps, and stay tuned for more information!
