It is apparent the offline version of GM Records has been an enormous success with 1000s of downloads, because of this I will be utilising the API and implementing an online version!!! So here it is, I will need as many suggestions for what YOU want to see in it. On top of this I will need a number of beta testers, so if you like being a Guinea pig and want an account for FREE!!! please leave your suggestions below. The owners of the best suggestion put forward will be given the opportunity to gain a free account.
I'm looking forward to your suggestions!!!

k I would like to see the following things
a person being able to put his company id and then the API bringing all the information from the game, you being able to adjust price of RM, you being able to adjust wellness/salary/skill of worker. You being able to see the profit you will make from each worker. What salary should you pay a person and with the current salary, skill and wellness and price you are selling at how much profit you are making 🙂
That's what he already has! But in the off-line version...
To make things easier, allow to identify dead workers. Suppose you have a dead worker, with 0 health and 5 skill. If you can identify him as dead citizen, you could make the profits easier to calculate.
I want a few things if its online.
First of all I want to see the cheapest price for each product for the past 24 hours.
I want to see what kinda wages my competitors are putting up on the market.
I want to see auto update of worker wellness, as well as their skill with a mere click of a button.
I think another good thing is to add some kind of a feature for optional deals your make with your employees. EG, if your in the weapon business and your worker agree to have a lower wage for weapons. You just need to do a minus 5 from their productivity and then follow it by a wage change.
This idea can also work for food or gifting, or anything really.
Also, for the recommended wages thingo on the side, I think it is not a bad idea if you add a function so that we can change the number of employees we have, as well as what q they are working in.
Thats all I can think of atm, half of it probably doesnt make sense 🙁.
hello corny. if it's possible i want to be a betatester too. and here's the idea.
as i mentioned for the offline version. i want more specific sections for the employees. i want to mark that how many days in a month does he work and want to see it in a chart. and also there must be a cumulative cell that shows how many days does he work from the beginning. and also the gift cell can show how much do we pay for him.
Something that would be cool would be automatic wage update, based on a formula.
If it could sell the products too, running a company could be 2 clicks. 😃
CORNY IS BACK!!!!!
I wouldn't mind becoming a tester, I use GM sheet for hours each day, working out pays and profits 😃
I'd like to see if create a table of workers- how often they've worked in the past week would be GREAT! Also if it's possible seeing their average productivity over that period of time.
Also a nice function showing the time frame required to earn back the cost of upgrading would be awesome! As in, if it costs me 20gold to go from Q1 to Q2, then assuming Q2 has a bigger profit margin (or at least bigger profit($AUD) per item) then how long would it take me to earn that 20gold back... this would make decisions on whether to upgrade or not much easier for a lot of players!!
My little idea to improve on it is you find out region your workers are if you hover mouse over them, then you know if they have access to a hospital. Small but can be important if low wellness
Looking forward to the new GM records online.. 😃
PS: I'm willing to beta test the new GM records.
BTW srg91. You should download the firefox addon ereplus, it shows wellness ect as you view workers in the company.
The most important thing is the wellness and skill of employees to be updated automatically.
The rest of the sheet can stay the same as it was in v4.0.
It seems that this is not possible the wages and selling price to be automatically updated.
I would like to be a beta tester.
tim09 😛, I got it 😛
I'd love to be a beta tester! Suggestions: having an option where you can click 'worked' for a worker, and it records the daily whether the worker had worked. That way, you can keep track of your consistent workers and reward them for it. Or, the program could give you an alert when a worker has worked 7 days in a row so that you can PM them to thank them.
Also, if there was a graph showing the changes in wellness of a worker, that'd be helpful as well.
Having a quick table showing the cheapest prices and comparable wages (eg same quality companies) will be helpful. Viewing other countries' cheapest prices will be good too!
corny have a look at Kumnaa's API for his version of GM records online. Its very user friendly with basic setup only, but it doesn't have the features yours has. If you could implement his techniques into your format and stats I would sure as hell pay for it.
Hey Corny!!
What would i like to see?
Just the wellness for each employee, maybe a bar on how much you can earn in a week or month, employee profile links, and just all the stuff on your offline GM records.

I'd be interested to beta-test also. I'm only a new GM so not sure what else I need but I'll have a think... ouch!
I'll be a beta tester...
Having a Reward System, like Karma on Proboards, Cookies in other games-- MAKE THEMS MUFFINS.
Just out of curiosity, you've stated that beta testers will get a Free account.
I guess this suggests that the release will cost in some way?
If so, how will it be paid, how much, what with?
I'd love to be a beta tester, my suggestion is perhaps having a graph for raw materials in australia over the past week or month to see whether it is wise to buy it at that period of time.
if you still need beta testers, PM me 😉
it's been said before but it'd be great to see how long an employee has been working for you (and how many days he's missed).
@ Ollie - I have been told a number of times that I'm crazy not charging for my previous releases, however I believe that all GM's should be able to get their hands on such a tool.
With the release of the online version its going to cost a mint to host as its going to have a lot of activity. So I have come to the conclusion that charging gold for the online version will be viable considering that I'm learning a new programming language and the RL cost of maintaining it. However I'm still in the process of working out a pricing scheme (it will be a once off fee). I'm planning on not having it crazy high, but something like 1g per company or 5g for an org 😃
I know the wage feed is only available if the org account is logged in. Is it possible to have the option of accessing and updating wages through GM Records if you happen to be logged in to erepublik already? Aside from that? automatically updating skill and wellness, that would save so much fiddling around. Thanks for asking 🙂 -Oh and I'm interested in being a beta tester too 😃
