You can now create multiple idol groups! The "sister groups" feature unlocks once you've hired 10 idols, and each 10 idols you hire will allow you to create a new sister group. "Unfair" difficulty: when an idol graduates, 50% of her scandal points will be re-assigned to the group as a whole.

IDOL MANAGER SCANDAL UPDATE
The latest update for Idol Manager's beta is now live, bringing several a long-awaited new feature: the ability to create multiple idol groups! If you joined the beta program by backing the game or buying the game on itch.io, to manually update you can head over to the game's itch.io page to download the latest version. Idol Manager beta update #13: Sister groups! Your feedback, suggestions, and bug reports are what allow us to keep improving Idol Manager, so thanks to the many of you who post in the forum to share your thoughts with us!

We look forward to hearing what you think about the new features we've added in the beta community forum. Fixed: Staff tooltip could disappear after firing a staffer.Fixed: Game freeze after firing a staffer when the staffer list is in compact view.Fixed: Conflict events can only happen to idols from the same group.You can choose which demographic to target with each performance, which will make certain kinds of fans more or less likely to buy a ticket for a live performance, or start/cancel an online subscription. If your theater decides to take too many days off, some fans may decide to cancel their subscription. Subscribers expect to get a good value for their monthly subscription fee. (Increasing the subscription price may also cause some fans to cancel their subscription.) You can set (and change) the subscription fee: much like ticket prices, low subscription fees will entice new subscribers to join, while hiking up subscription fees will make new subscribers less likely to join. To unlock the ability to stream performances, you'll need to do research (spend office manager research points) and purchase equipment (spend money). You can also set up theater performances to be streamed online: fans can pay a monthly subscription fee to get access to a livestream and VODs of all theater performances. If your theater is hitting maximum capacity, you can probably get away with charging more! The more fans your group has, the higher you can set the price without hurting attendance. Setting the ticket price too high will make fans more reluctant to show up. Setting a low ticket price will entice more fans to show up. You have control over the price of theater tickets and can change it at any time.
