Well, the change was stupidly easy, and the issue was reported more then two years ago, I just finally committed to doing something. I'm only human after all.

I'm a little shocked that this mod is still updated, but I greatly appreciate it. It's such a wonderful addition when I just want to play a simple and easy play-through.

@waterdragon, you can still do Game Reports regardless, and they still give research points. The incentive to do reports to get feedback on genre-matches and such is lost, but it still has a function in gameplay. I always do game reports to generate those extra research points.

As much this mod works very great and is very helpfull, it creates one problem that later in game is noticable.

You no longer need to make game reports, which are basicly a good source for research points and the further you progress in game you get behind with researches due this lose, which then result in more bad reviews because the games doesn't offer better techniques and become weak games.

Commented out line 22 and 23 in code.js and now everything is working flawlessly. They were responsible for unlocking both sequels and the casual genre at the start of the game.

Mod still works. Just follow the instructions in the description, then to be safe, start a new game from the main menu. Remember to be wary that Target audience knowledge won't show up until it is researched. If anything doesn't work, disable and enable the hints in the settings menu, and that could fix it.

I have Steam Cloud saves turned off for this game, that may or may not have something to do with it working and not, though I'm just grasping at this point. I'm also on PC.

Thank you for the mod, Vova!

Downloaded this for the first time, and all appears to be working fine. Just started a new game and all hints are there, except for Target Audience which isn't unlocked yet. Only problem is that Casual games are unlocked from the very start. Playing on v1.7.6, tried with and without the mod API, and the 2 other mods I was using.

You have no obligation to update it ofcourse, but if you do decide to give it a crack some time then hopefully that information would be useful. Though it is weird how others report it not working at all.

@Vova they even copied the description, how lame can one be?
I reported them too, maybe it will change if there are enough reports?

@zip
I will take a look at it, when I'll find some time for this.

@DracoDruid
Yeah, tried reporting them, didn't help. They are iirc 1:1 copies, nothing is changed in these.

Are those just 6 trolls that have copied your mod?
(Search for "hint" on the workshop and see for yourself)

This mod unlocks the "develop sequel" feature after the first game release. Can you fix it?

I just tested it and it works perfectly

@Newgel
to be honest, i don't know, try it out lol

does this work with mods that add new topics and platforms

This is awesome thank you so much

7/10 too many hints

nice

This mod does not provide 11/10 games, it just provides the ingame hints that you normaly would get from the research, nothing more.

(out of 10)

not entirely sure why but the information it provides for your games will get you 3-5 star ratings (usually)

Great mod its very helpful for people who are starting out and might need a little help

Great mod!!! Thank you for uploading it here.
