I have progressed in this game to where I have:
Week 7, Day 4
Shame 62
Confidence 27
Corruption 6
Exhibitionism 23
Sex Experience 5
Mom 2, Mia 2, Jack 1, Gina 6, Daniel 6
The jobs Library, Clothing Store, Flyers, and Lifeguard will no longer decrease Shame nor increase confidence. The job Gym Instructor seems to do nothing. Only the Cafe waitress job will decrease Shame. Stripping on the balcony and the webcam show (after stripping completely naked) no longer increase Exhibitionism. There is no way to further increase Exhibitionism.
The quests log has only four items in white:
- Daniel
"More in future release?"
Apparently we've reached the current end of this quest line. This is the information a player needs although I don't understand the '?'.
- Modeling
"Wait for Jake to contact you again"
This is after the Christmas calendar shoot. No calls have come and there is no clue if any more are forthcoming.
- Webcam?
"Unlocked stage2:Shoot some more"
Since she stripped completely naked, the show never changes and the quest does not progress. There is no clue as to what should or can be done next.
- Outdoor Exposure
There is no item in white for this quest. What is missing is that the evening alley exposure action is still available to progress this quest but it still does not increase Exhibitionism.
As a player, I am left completely without any clue as to how to progress the game, or even if there is any more content. Browsing this forum and reading the Event Guide indicates that there is more content but provides no clue how to get to it. Apparently a lot of new content depends on the "shaving event" but no such event has ever occurred nor is there any clue as to how it can happen.
I have always argued against walkthroughs and guides since, if a player needs these to play the game then it is the game that is broken and should be fixed so that the player no longer needs them. Unfortunately, too many developers are more concerned with creating new content rather than finishing or fixing the current content. This shows an utter lack of concern for players and game playability.
This game is fun and interesting, and is worth the effort to try to get the developer to prioritize finishing and fixing the current content over new content.
- A player should always be notified when the have reached the end of the current content of a quest or task.
- A player should never find themselves grinding jobs, quests, or tasks without some known purpose. There is little more frustrating to a player them wasting hours on grinding for no purpose. If there is a grind task that has been put in but which does not yet serve a game purpose, the player should be notified of this (like the gym instructor job).
- A player should always have access to an information source that will tell them their current quest, task, and goal status so that they know for what they are striving. Not necessarily how to do it, but that there is something they need to figure out or work through. Players should never be lost with no clue what they should be doing or why. Remember, most players do not play a game completely through in one session. They have to return to the game many times after bouts with real life and they need to be reminded where they left off. The quest log is a good way to do this but it is bug ridden and does not get the priority it should over other content. This is a critical player resource and should get the highest priority.
I hope the developer will consider these observations seriously and go back over the current content to address and fix these playability issues.
Until then, can someone give me a clue as to how to progress this game from where I am?
