Debt

''"The last thing I need right now is you knocking us into debt." ''-Kyu

Debt is an optional yet seemingly unavoidable game mechanic in HunieCam Studio. If The Player lacks the required funds to pay their girls when the payroll is automatically processed at midnight, the Cam Studio's available funds will sink into a red, negative number, rendering The Player unable to use money until the studio's bank account balance has returned to a positive value.

As insufficient payroll funds is the only possible way to fall into debt, The Player may purchase advertisements and investments without fear of those factors alone putting them into debt - however, expending all funds before the payroll processes at midnight will increase difficulty in paying debt back in a timely manner.

Should The Player remain in debt for a consistent twenty-four hour timespan, the studio will go Bankrupt and their employment will be terminated by Kyu.

The Player is granted a reasonable amount of time after accruing debt to pay it back, so the only way for them to go bankrupt is through incredible negligence from actions such as upgrading their girls' Talent and Style levels at a rate that exceeds their ability to eliminate their debt in a timely manner.

In a normal game scenario, The Player will commonly fall into debt after the first day or two, but will typically overcome it quickly, after which they will be entrusted fully with managing their funds in proportion to the payroll.

The core goal of HunieCam Studio seems to be balancing funds and making decisions about how fast to progress based on current circumstances, achieving a sort of balance along the way that is easily upsettable by reckless decisions.
