Ultimate Difficulty

설명
No matter how hard CoreDumping will try, Impossible will never be a great enough challenge. That's where Ultimate Difficulty comes in! You start out 30k in debt and half to crawl your way to your first product without the help of a publisher, without any contracts or deals. Stocks aren't an option either at the start, so you have to be careful with your choices!



What does this mod do?

This mod adds a new difficulty called "Ultimate," and it makes the game a lot harder. Here's what it changes:
  • You start with -30k in debt and have a 120k loan automatically applied
  • Founders start at 40 years old
  • Founders have 65% skill in the character creation screen*
  • Founders get half the specialization stars*
  • Half the alpha phase bonus*
  • Half the employee skill gain bonus*
  • Half the press release hype deadline*
  • Double the importance of creativity*
  • Double the rent cost*
  • A tenth of the product reputation factor*
  • Double the AI company intelligence*
  • 20% more founder dividends*
  • Limited the start date to 1980
  • Founders are limited to 50% creativity
  • Disabled OS development for players until they reach 100k fans
  • Tax rate is increased to 75%
*Compared to the vanilla impossible difficulty

In all, this mod definitely brings a tough challenge to the game. It might take you many tries to be successful at the start, so we wrote a tutorial down below to help you understand the best tactics to employ with this mod.



Backstory

1976: The year that our company was destroyed by an antitrust lawsuit. Once a behemoth of the software industry, it now remains as a shadow of its former glory. However, you, starting off as an intern 10 or so odd years ago, now stand alone as the only remaining employee. The public drown when they hear your company's name, and the government has done anything in its power to prevent you from making a monopoly again. But you're planning for the long-run, and you're thinking waiting for everyone to forget about the past so you can make a massive comeback. Regardless, there's still lots of debt to be paid, and you can't sit there and wait, so go and make some money!



Notes
  • Avoid enabling this difficulty mid-game through the options menu, as you may encounter many bugs.
  • This mod is definitely work-in-progress, so please report any bugs you encounter in the GitHub[github.com]
  • If you want to see a feature added to this mod, feel free to write a suggestion here[github.com]

Nvm I'm just a dumbass, it was enabled in my properties but wasn't in the mods menu in the game itself

@Hap did you confirm that the mod is enabled? I did update the mod a few weeks ago due to an update from SINC

Strange, doesn't appear in the difficulty dropdown when starting new games anymore

As the number one streamer of the super impossible mode playthrough (SIMP) challenge where i rock a 96% tax rate and max employee benefits day 1, I am intrigued by your mod. I am going to try this out and stream it.

I haven't tried it recently but I don't think any game updates have changed anything that this mod adds on to :brownchicken:

Hey @TajemnikTV glad you like it! Yeah, balancing is maybe a little off, but if you want to help me balance it more tell me. OS is a possibility if you have 100k fans iirc, publishing etc is disabled as it is Impossible+, means everything you cant do in impossible, you cant do in this mod, but I will probably make an options menu where you can tweak those settings.
Can you write your ideas down here: https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/workshop/filedetails/discussion/3166322043/4303823318962428262/
that would help alot!

Thanks anyways for the kind words :steamhappy:

Yassss, go for it CF, don't hold back at all.

What haunts me the most is the tax rate which is I feel too high. My overall idea is to go somewhat "realistic" with all the settings. But also age of the founder, press releases and that freaking creativity which I absolutely hate lol Maybe OS creation could be a possibility, but if it ain't great it's deemed to fail (which with these settings shouldn't be hard to achieveXD) And maybe setting the starting date to 1975? I think these are the ones I'd be keen on changing. Also not sure about disabling publishing deals/contracts/deals...

Thanks for yelling at me.
What settings do you want @TajemnikTV? I did disable the custom configurations, because the values change and if you change them once, you wouldn't be able to revert them until changing the difficulty again.
But if more people want that, we can for sure add it to the list. :cozybethesda:

I will yell at daRedLoCo until he readds custom settings. Thanks

Ayo, looks incredible - I was wondering whether it would be possible for it to be configurable? Most settings are fine with me, but would love for it to be customizable, cheers
