Overview
In FLX, you take control of a group of idols and brainwash them to make them the most popular and trending topic in a dystopic city. Make them your personal harem, or let others use their bodies to spread your influence.
This trainer game allows you to access new venues and content as you corrupt them, with updates available to facilitate your life and spice things up. Your objective is to guide, train, and, more importantly, corrupt them, exploring themes of control and influence within a sci-fi setting.
Changelog:v0.8a- New gameplay module: The concert! Every week, on Sunday, your idol group will perform a show for live audiences in their own club!
- Many new upgrades (to improve their training or mood), and others for other facilities (their quality, etc.)
- Changed training assignment: Now it's available from the start (although the scenes still unlock later on) and costs money, but you can train any of the idol's stars here.
- 3 new sketches for a Haigure Dance!
- You can personally train the idols, too, to speed up their progress. This is free, but excessive training will reduce their mood.
- Branding, security, and trending have been reworked a bit. Now, they impact how many people attend the show. During the early game, it is fine for these numbers to be low; we will add new upgrades in the future.
- Added a new currency, IDX or Idol Credits. These are used to purchase special upgrades and are more scarce than regular money. You can get up to 10 a week for now, but we might rebalance it later.
- Adjusted the caps for branding, security, and trend from their assignments.
- Changed marketing assignment: Now it costs money, but increases trend more.
- Changed "wages" for "efficiency," increasing the benefits of overexploiting them.
- Now you can find Placeholder at the lab, to rewatch tutorials. We might give him more uses in the future!
v0.7- New assignment, Marketing! This one is now available since you start the game and provides a boost on trend and some money. It's the assignment that reduces the least amount of mood.
- 9 new marketing scenes for Joy, 3 per level of corruption.
- 9 new marketing scenes for Leona.
- 9 new marketing scenes for Tomoe.
- QoL changes: Now, the big portrait and the button in the training menu are dynamic, showing their current outfit and a proper expression according to their mood.
- Engine update: We moved from Renpy 7.4 to 8.2. We tested all the new content on it and haven't found any problem, but if you do, please report it!
- Hopefully, the engine update will fix some people's problems with the Android version! Please let us know if your issues still need to be fixed!
- Adjustments: We made changes in the daily calculations, changing how much trends, security, etc., you get each day, mostly buffs, though!
- Bugfix: Not every assignment gave the right amount of trend, security, etc., so we fixed this, too. We also improved the code in this section to make future adjustments easier.
Developer Notes:Right now, we are in the early phase of development, with about 2 hours of content, but regular updates will expand the amount of art and content we currently have.
If you want to follow the game development, the best place to do so is our discord server, but we will do new public releases here and in itch.io, too!
