6/26/2023 0 Comments Urban empire sweats couponeither try adding them slower or taxing to meet the increased expense. if your services are making you go broke. that is where all your income comes from. you can easily get hit with a bad economy like someone else says and for years be going down but come back higher after. you should be able to keep on building districts without service and gain a lot of money. i taxed high right away but when i started making a profit that was high i lowered tax for my residants to lower then it started out. i have 100m in the bank and am making a really good profit. in my latest playthrough i have only built one grammer school and a bunch of districts. Services in the beggining era can put a damper on your income. These are previews of certain edicts (which you can enact without selecting the event choice), so to gain MORE BONUSES never select an option that has one of the edict pop ups, cause you're essentially sacrificing a +1 life wheel bonus (that's what they usually are) for nothing. Some of them when you hover over the options bring up an additional dialogue. You've probably noticed most technologies have an event midway or at completion. There's also something fishy with the technology events. Edicts are really powerful, alot of them create money out of nowhere, or do global buffs for a small price (your income will increase from enacting them). Institutions, services, and edicts are all essential to get the 10 happiness and therefore the moneys. Still wish there was a proper balance sheet with an economic breakdown ingame. Manual definitely helped me a little bit (right click on Urban Empire in library to get to it). Quality (QUANTITY!) is the amount they actually sell (though i've seen this higher than efficiency so.? Mind you it would make sense if they were doing some sort of mass production versus brand loyalty thing, but there's no mention of it). ![]() Efficiency is the maximum amount of goods/service that can be provided by the business. The manual also mentioned that by raising the tax rate businesses are required to meet a higher efficiency or quality (pretty sure that's a typo meant to be quantity), which is also explained. This is one reason not to over expand, it's best to let your districts fill up first. High tax rates seem to stagnate the influx of new buildings (including increase in density). ![]() With regards to commerce, and any RCI increasing in density, I think tax rate is a big issue here. I then figured out (manual helped a little) that commercial (don't think industry does) acts like governemnt services and get quite a buff from residents living inside their circular arua (finally makes sense why it automatically fills the center of districts with commerce now). With regards to businesses going bankrupt, I too was confused since raising the tax (i've had it as high as 50% lol) indicates banruptcy but lowering wasn't fixing it for me. Once you get some institutions with city buffs, expand til your heart's content. Don't be overzealous filling up the map with districts, just get your efficient 4/5 residential districts (80/20 R/C) and put the budget up on your services to go for 10/10 on life wheel. I checked the manual prior to this playthrough which explains briefly (though the tutorial doesn't mention it at all) that happiness skyrockets your economy because all the workers then go and buff their workplaces income. I've tried a few different things, but on my current playthrough i'm era 2 with 500K income (after I reduced my tax a little approx.15%). I'm assuming industry gets staffed automatically, there's no traffic/etc or proximity factors needed. That way I'm not wasting any services on industry, and the industry debuffs are kept away from residents. In the south i made long skinny districts that were ~80%-90% residential, rest commercial. So! I decided to just make 100% pure industry and set those on the northern border. But they don't care about gas street lights. Some industry for example benefits from gas pipes. Now, this is probably most important: how to be efficient in providing services. So, start the game and just make lots of low density districts. ![]() I didn't see any high density buildings afaik but i didn't check exhaustively. I think I provided too many services so my growth was somewhat slow. Just because you set the district to medium doesn't mean everything upgrades to medium. The density you set is only maximum allowed density. The worker happiness somehow affects commercial/industrial efficiency. Say you need 55 health, you provide 55 health, you'll get a 10 health score. My game is at 1985 but it's too laggy to continue.įirst, the happiness ratings you see in wheel of life goes up to 10. 6/26/2023 0 Comments Dru hill tell meThey just need to take the chance to come down and check it out. 527 likes, 37 comments - Radio Big Mack (radiobigmack) on Instagram on October 6, 2022: When tryna do the Dru Hill Tell Me dance but cant agree on how.

Listen closely to such songs as "Satisfied," "Never Make a Promise" or "Love's Train." What you'll hear in the group's sophisticated harmonies and polished interplay is a sound that evokes the likes of the O'Jays, Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes, and Stevie Wonder.Īlthough there wasn't any conscious effort to imitate those older groups, Nokio points out that each of the quartet's members was well-schooled in music before joining the group. Despite the group's youth, the sound proffered by Dru Hill's debut has a decided old school slant. 6/26/2023 0 Comments Tidy up room![]() So: Does the old blanket need a patch?

I turned it back on for a half hour or so yesterday and had another major crash. I then tried closing various apps that I have open all the time – Chrome, Stickies, iBiz, etc. After 3 of these within a few hours I was starting to think I had a hardware problem. Kind of thing where the whole screen gets crazy pixelated and nothing works, not even a mouse. A few days ago my computer starting crashing randomly throughout the day. Kal, not sure if you’re still around but after restarting the app nap trick did work and time tracking was again accurate. You helped us make a great product and I apologize for the inconvenience this news might cause. I want to extend a personal thanks to all of the iBiz customers we’ve had through the years. For now we need to focus on our iBank suite we just announced iBank for iPad 2.0 and we have some great announcements coming soon. There are iPhones, iPads, “the cloud” has matured, people run their businesses with different tools. ![]() In a lot of ways, it’s a perfect fit for what we do already, but that space has changed a lot since iBiz. The SOHO (small office/home office) space is something that is definitely on our radar. (We’ve also decided to stop selling our utility iPaste and it will no longer receive updates, but we can continue to help customers troubleshoot it for another year.) But we won’t be releasing any more updates and it will no longer be for sale. We will still continue to provide technical support for our existing customers for another year. We’ve thought about this for a long time and once we finally decided on what we needed to do, we wanted to let all of you know ASAP. It doesn’t run on Mavericks and the work to make it play nice would be a huge undertaking. We are officially ceasing development of iBiz. And so it is not with a light heart that I say, it is time to say goodbye. It’s been fun iBiz, you’ve helped many, including all of our internal team who keep track of their hours with it. However, it is clear now, we don’t have the resources to give it the attention it deserves. iBiz continued to receive fixes for a few bugs and to ensure it worked with the latest Mac OS. We kept updating iBiz and even released iBiz 4.0 in 2009. IBiz 2 (formerly known as iWork) circa 2008.ĭuring the next 7 or so years, iBank continued to grow, went through several very important re-writes and eventually became our flagship product. iBiz continued to be the bread and butter for the company, and I hired my first employee who is still with us today :-). I worked endlessly on iWork and iBank iWork eventually changed to iBiz. At this point I moved to Vermont to settle down and get serious about software. ![]() After one year as a post-doc, I took the leap of faith: I left academia to form and work on IGG full-time. But I was still a one-man shop trying to juggle a lot of work. Skip ahead a few years and by the time I was graduated and working on a post-doc, iWork and iBank were making a significant contribution to my monthly income. And although it was pretty simple at this point, especially compared to iBiz today, it still had some neat features for its time, such as 1-click emailing of invoices and an idle timer. iWork was a big success and continued to grow in popularity. I developed it to version 3.0 and then the next iteration was a complete re-write, called iWork. However, I still continued to chase my other little passion, to make AtWork better and better. I continued to make a few bucks a day, but certainly not enough to consider “going indie.” Besides, I was happy plugging away on my dissertation and chasing rare plants around southern California. I continually updated and improved upon AtWork and pushed new builds to my file server. I could hardly believe it! In a lot of ways, selling this first app marks the very beginning of IGG. The first day I posted it, I sold one copy. I found the app quite useful so I decided I would put it up on the internet and charge $6 for it. You probably get where this story is going and alas, AtWork was born. ![]() As an early OS X adopter (early as in, I installed the first beta) I was frustrated that there wasn’t an app to track the time I was spending writing reports - time I ultimately needed to bill back to the client. The fun part of the job was hiking around botanizing, the not so fun part was writing a report back at home. Occasionally on the weekends and between classes I would survey for rare plants as a side gig. Over a decade ago I was a graduate student studying biology and plant population modeling. The story of iBiz is really the story of how IGG started. 6/26/2023 0 Comments Claire agena![]() It is said to give hard-heartedness, an inclination to vengeance, love of arms, strong passion, and an energetic nature.
