Publisher Marketing bugged?

[Reddichpflanzer]

Hi,
for my first software (Office) I have a publisher for marketing. The Software is "good"... less bugs... release is the publisher release date.

The software only get 150 followsers.

I sell 78 copies

Is the marketing with publisher bugged?

Nope, it is hard to get followers when you start out. That since you especially have nobody knowing you at all. Getting 150 followers with the first product ist actually very good. This way you will start to raise your market reputation and fan amount, which will then make your future products gain more fans.
There are a ton of different reasons why you don't sell well in the end. This goes from quality of product, amount of bugs, market reputation, company reputation, software that is currently on the market from other companies, how your software compares to those, time of release.. etc etc.

Keep going and you will succeed for sure :-)

I had the same problem. it was one of the mods that I used to start the game in 1970 which I didn't even used. it was a starter mod of some soft. Turn all mods off first and try again. You have to start a new game at that point in order to take affect.

Do you have another start options mod?

[Fluffy The Destroyer]

unfortunately no, I would say remove both and see if it works. then al lthe x-perience if that one works

And again the more start options mod is causing another case of low-to-zero sales. Deactivate it and your sales should be in the normal ranges again. I also explained the problematic behavior of that mod in the X-Perience FAQ weeks ago.

X-Perience alone is working without any problems.

It tried (1 day/1 month) X-Perience and the following mod. In a first run it looks good (no zero sell bug).

Thanks for the info. I never used that Start Options Mod, but it seems to be more safe than the other ones.
