January 28 Update (Patreon)

I have an update with another important question for the next TLS release, but first indulge me in a report about this week.

Reasons why Sierra is exhausted:

1) Overly ambitious goals: 20%

2) Too many projects at once: 5%

3) Community management: 3%

4) Realizing she forgot something from the previous post: 3%

5) Human beings exist and she has to deal with them: 68%

6) Making sure the fake percentages don't come out to any 69s: 1%

Optimizers, casual players, and doomrunners alike: how are you feeling about total ProN vs total investments as of Megail's final income statement? This is one of the things that has varied most from original designs, due both to new additions and more aggressive investment plans than I modeled.

As with the entire game, my hope is that players will need to make strategic decisions about how to invest. People who have been relentless about optimization should be rewarded by not having to make too painful of decisions, but I don't want it to be possible to just buy everything. How does your save match up to these goals?

EDIT: To be clear, I am not revisiting the entire game's balance at this time. I'm interested in how people feel about the amount of ProN they have left at endgame versus remaining investments.

Depending on overall responses, I may add or tweak some final investments. But after the upcoming update, no more investments, only consequences of those decisions.
