Thanks very much. Yes we will be including other doors at some point in the future, such as glass / sliding doors.

Doors must be 2 squares wide, so any single door would have to be the same size as the one we have just implemented. This is because people need 2 squares to walk in. At the moment the characters are quite slim but when we implement new cartoony-style characters we intend to make the models a bit more wider.

Thanks! Yes, doors are on the way!

Hi, I have now replied to your message. Sorry for the delay!

Thanks!

Hi

Yes credit cards are not implemented in the game yet; they were only there for testing / development. Credit cards will be removed from the next pre-alpha coming out before the end of the month. We may at some point re-introduce credit cards, but it will likely be when the game is quite mature.

Hi there

Thanks for downloading the game and apologies for the lack of documentation so far; we are working on our first “How-To-Play” video at the moment and will upload it in the next few days. We just wanted to get our website and IndieDB page up and running first of all.

The problem probably is that the interest rate for your personal loan is too high, so customers will not want to take out loans with you. Go to the competitor tab of the product page and check what the competitor rates are. They will be roughly spread around some number, so you will need to estimate what this is. Then adjust your rate so it is say 3-5% lower than your competitors. People should now start to come to the desk and ask for loans with you.

The key to the game is setting the rates correctly; if not many people are borrowing from you, your rates may be a bit too high, similarly if too many people are borrowing from you they may be too low. The interest rates your competitors set will also change over time (and each time you start a new game) so you will need to update the rate periodically to keep the balance correct.

The reputation of your bank will also affect the willingness of people to borrow from you. At the start of the game the reputation is quite low; this is why you will need to set your rates much lower than your competitors to attract customers. As your reputation increases you will find people more willing to borrow from you (and also deposit money with you) so you can increase the rate for loans and make more money.

I hope this helps, sorry for the long reply!
