What is left?

[Fluffy Milk Horse]

What is there to do after buying a vehicle and the properties? Not being ♥♥♥♥♥♥ I just really don't know. I'm already bored of manufacturing and automating in this game isn't really appealing to me. Does the game just become super repetitive when you reach this point?

Nothing. Shelve it until it is updated/completed.

[terminalinsanity]

its an early access game thats still being actively developed. New things are added frequently but the game isn't in its final state at all. I suspect a lot of the mechanics will change before release.

Right now you're kinda beta testing it. You're helping figure out what mechanics and systems work, figure out the balance of those systems, etc.

Gotcha. I was really hoping the rival dealers they mentioned earlier in the game would become a thing lol. Got a good bit of gameplay out of it, somehow I doubt they're going to do much with the game. They made their money.

This opinion is based on what? Certainly not based on the roadmap that you clearly didn't read nor is it based on the regular videos that the dev has put out where you can see him working on the game and he discusses his plans for the game.

"They" being the single man who's made this while also doing university, you mean?

Exactly. Why do people think as soon as some money has been made everyone packs up and goes home?

McDonald's made their money too, but they still serve burgers. Elon Mush and Bill Mates still go to work every day. My doctor drives a Mercedes and owns a mansion, he still shows up to check my pulse.

So much cynicism on Steam - a platform meant for fun, games and discretionary spending.

Lmao Elon spends so much of his time on Twitter that he's leaving his position in most of his companies, maybe not the best example

Cry baby gets an answer and still doesn't get it, oh well , let him make his mind up based off nothing but his own lack of information gathering and ability to listen to others. Im kingpin lvl 30 with a net worth of 4.3m im not yet bored as im always finding different ways to produce product in the given properties we have so far (rearranging). Think big not small and you'll understand waiting for updates and being patient like most reasonable ppl would pay off like a drug itself. Its Beta days.

[Hyphen]

have you seriously just forgotten all the fun you had up to that point???? I'm kind of tired of automating, manufacturing, and just restocking now too and can't wait to be back in that cozy little grow room in the bungalow on my next play through just growing weed by myself like I used to do in real life

[Berternee]

I am really enjoying just being my neighborhood dealer, lol. I mix random things because I really enjoy the different animations for the different effects. It makes me chuckle when I see all my neighbors glowing, or on fire, while they are farting on the ground! The animations are so funny, and you know what they bought just by seeing em.

I did the run thru where I tried everything, and the maxing out all the money, etc. But I found I really like the relaxing part of mixing for fun effects, instead of profit. After a few days, you have plenty of money to just have fun, and do the parts you enjoy. I even like spending random times of picking up trash.

That is why I love games like this, you can do whatever you want. No hard timelines, or rushing thru it. You don't have to play like other people, you can play your own game, and not get penalized for it. Looking forward to any updates, but i have enough to keep me busy till then.

[Bleep]

... i solved the op's problem for myself (boring and repetitive) by starting a complete new playthrough armed with the information i gathered in the previous one. i'm now at the 6th playthrough (i've reached $1 mil, never kingpin, though). until the 4th dealer comes unlocked, i'll continue to rinse and repeat. 255 hours and still loving the game. but, i do understand the "what else is there" view.

[Calruin]

Well, you can always go play another game until this one is updated with content that interests you again. From the road map i saw, the game should be a lot of fun when it's finished.

Guessing you've been burned by Early Access games in the past? I know the feeling all to well sadly. Early access is a crap shot, either we're lucky and the dev's finish the game, or at least leave it in a state it can be played in that is still fun, or they do a rush job, screw the game over and/or walk away with the money.

Because of things like this, i've stopped buying early access and putting them onto my wish list so i can check them out another time. Unless i'm either sure the game will be finished, or think there is enough content to be worth buying into. I've got a good feeling about this game, and it has enough content to be worth the price as is, even with the bugs.

[This PC]

it's okay to be tired of an early access game and come back later when there's new content. V Rising been in early access for like 3 years, and now has been out for a bit, and it's the third time I return to it, still having a lot of fun with it. In a sense, you get more value out of games like this because of the incentive to replay them. :P

I'm an ex Xer so have no idea what it he does, but I added Billy Mates just in case
