Very good to hear that they help :) If you have any other questions about the game or how it is, feel free to ask me more :) You can also become a member of our Discord server (link in description of video) where myself and many others will gladly answer your questions and show you more of the game if you want to! Did you already make up your mind about whether you want to buy the game?
10:23 RIP headphone users xD But all kidding aside, good to see you uploading again. Not really any useful info for me, but heck, why would I be your friend, the BackSeatGamer?
Haha I totally missed that in editing.. Normally I decrease the volume of the endscene a bit, but this time I accidentally increased it instead of decreasing it. Sorry.. xD Good to see you back in the comment section ;)
Very happy to hear that the video helped you! The game can be a bit frustrating sometimes, but what I found is that a lot of people do not dare to just try things out and see what happens. I mentioned this in a lot of my SI videos, so dare to try and analyze! :) It's part of the fun!

Sorry, I don't have a video on that and tutorials are also not really my thing. I do explain my thoughts a lot during gameplay videos as well. I'm not sure if marketing is more difficult in Beta 1, but it seems to me that it is always about timing and momentum. Start marketing too early and you will be in a downward spiral with fan interest when you are ready to release. Start too late and you might miss out on potential fans. There is also not one general tactic to it imo, since it revolves around a few things. Do you already have a fanbase in that sector? How good is the product? What are the product timelines? Is it a sequel or not? How capable is your development team (and therefore how certain are you that the product will be good enough and up to your standards)? And of course, how capable is your marketing team? I honestly use marketing as just a tool to gain bonuses in sales or fans, but I do not see it as a prerequisite to be successfull in the game. I'm 100% sure you can make a huge profit in the game without ever touching marketing, but of course doing good marketing will increate that profit and your fanbase quicker. Hopefully that helps a little bit, but like I always say: a lot of the fun in SI (I think at least) is in figuring things out for yourself as well and the game does a good job in making multiple options plausible. So if you're not sure about something, save the game in a different save file and just try it out, see what happens ;)
@@Trifler500 It happens yes. Just keep making the great products and they will start selling ;) what difficulty are you playing on? That can have a big effect as well
If you mean the stars: you can "spend" these when a person is ready for education. If you open the employees window and open up all the details (state & skill) there will be a row that is about education. If a person hits 100% in that row that means that he/she is ready to be educated. Click on them and on the educate button and you will see that they can be educated in some skilltrees. You can then select the specialisation that you want to educate them in (for example 2nd star System programming). I hope this helps!
AS someone who thinking of buying this game, these give me a look into what to expect.

Even now, this explanation is useful... but DAMN that game is detailed!

Do you have a video on marketing in Beta 1? It seems more difficult than I remember.

@@Hipbone Thanks. I'm just trying to do a better job of getting started, since my first product barely sells despite having Great quality in Beta 1.
@@Trifler500 It happens yes. Just keep making the great products and they will start selling ;) what difficulty are you playing on? That can have a big effect as well
@@Hipbone Just easy for now
@@Trifler500 Then I would not worry ;) just continue with the great products and before too long you will make huge profits!
So.. how do i spend these points?
