Fast Money Farming and Progress Wipes questions.

[Guardian_Angel]

Good Evening.
My first Question will be short:
Are there going to be progress wipes throughout the Early Access Updates? Can I start earning money now or wait until the game is actually finished?

And now about the money earning.

Ratio between The Average Price for item and the amount of money I can get per Hour is rather one-sided in my opinion.
Personally, I'm receiving about 2200 credits per hour, completing 2 full golf matches. The Price for Curved TV is 50k, so it will take me aprxmtly 22 hours to buy it. And the condo is quite big, therefore multiple TVs will be needed. And that's not mentioning all the other stuff like furniture, character clothes, gadgets, pets, etc.

So here's the question:
Will the money farming get faster and easier with time? Feels like grinding right now.

I'm sure that this is not the Real Life Simulator 2016, but devs might have taken that way too seriously.

Thanks.

2k per hour? wtf.
Play Garden minigolf you will get way more than that lol

I'm getting ~2000 on all mini-golf maps with 75% of Pars, 10% of birdies, 10% of bogeys, 5% of Hole in One and Eagle.

Around 1400 in Ball Race.

Around 500 in Planet Panic.

Around 300 in Virus.

You see? It's too random, moreover, it still takes nearly an hour to complete the whole level set.

Getting additional 300 credits for 100% pars or 450 credits for 100% Birdies still doesn't make it anywhere to normal speed, it will take a quite big while until you get the required sum even with that surcharge.

Progression wipe is quite unlikely however you can feel free to take my words with a grain of salt.

Oh and yeah, guess we're on the same page 'bout the credits part.

Perhaps we are.

Now-Now, I want to know why devs did actually make this Shop and Money thingy. I just don't get the goal they want to achieve, because they could've made some items free at the start, maybe even everything. The game has no microtransactions after all, and it's not that type of game there the only thing that keeps you playing is progression.
I do enjoy customizing my virtual character, apartment and everything, but as it is right now, the only way to get this content is to grind through 4 mini-games. It's boring and will take lot's of hours, so...

I did a little bit of quick math with the route I've been taking in earning money in Ball Race. I've been doing solo rounds of Ball Race on Paradise. I've gotten to the point where I can run the entire course without dying and getting back to the main menu in about 7 to 7 and a half minutes (I could probably get this time down by about 30 seconds if I tried really hard but 7 minutes is my time going at a casual pace and not going for too many shortcuts). The completion of a stage without dying nets you $125. Doing this for each of the 12 stage (forgetting about the arbitrary bonus stage) gets you $1525 per completion of an entire course. This means that playing Ball Race over and over again can net you about $205 per minute or $12,300 an hour. This means that you could get that curved TV in a little over 4 hours of continuous play.

Let it be noted that you can earn more money for getting 1st/2nd/3rd place in an online game of Ball Race. However, I find it the most quickest and most reliable to just run through the game on my own. Also, you do not recieve any additional money for picking up melons at this time.

TL;DR - My route on Ball Race Paradise gives me $205 per minute.

Does anyone have any better/more efficient routes of earning money? Because everyone knows that farming is better than actually playing the game like it's supposed to be played.

Honestly the whole thing I felt with GMT was that the farming didn't neccesarily get faster, just a little easier to deal with. Since there's so few maps, and sometimes there's no virus or planet panic servers, that just kind of leaves minigolf and ballrace. So it gets kind of boring to farm the same 2 games over and over.

Once they add trivia and more gamemodes and maps and inlobby stuff it'll become a lot less boring to farm because it won't be as repetitive.
