I don't know enough about game design to know if this would be easy or plausible in QSP, but perhaps the repetitive girls that don't resemble their descriptions could be replaced with girl packs designed by individual users like in Whoremaster and Brothel King? That way the descriptions would be more accurate, there would be more variety of girls, and the developer's hopefully non permanent hiatus wouldn't be as big of a problem since anyone could add additional girls to the game while leaving the current structure intact.

I remember the game developer mentioning a while ago that the reason he didn't add more variety of girls was because of the time it would take him to do it, but if random users were adding girls instead presumably that problem wouldn't exist.

1) The summary of the game says "Much of the inspiration for this game comes from the original game EVIL with similar game mechanics and storylines." - It says nothing about it being a rehashed version of the same game.
2) Software versioning doesn't work like that 1.0 means it's a major release. The version I played (1.1) no longer had the 'Beta' tag
3) How can you possibly argue it's not a sequel when the name has a 2 next to it? If you went to see "[Title] 2" would you expect anything other than a continuation of the story?

I did have time to play the game - I didn't like it. If the same amount of people ragging on me reviewed the game themselves, maybe spectre1 wouldn't have taken my review so harshly. What exactly did I miss in the OP that would've helped me appreciate this game more? I've played many games - Ren'Py VNs, HTML (including one of the highest rated games on this site which is a real porn game), Flash, Unity, Java, RPGM, etc. - I've never created a character in those games and wondered "why does it matter what shape my nose is?", "Why is there 10 exercises at the gym, but only one gives me feedback on gaining skills?", "Where are my skills?", "Why does this game reward me so poorly for doing jobs (being a bouncer, working at the grocery store, working as a taxi driver)", "Why are there people waiting to jump me everywhere even when I buy a gun?".

I don't mean to continue the arguing, but bashing me over and over because you didn't like my review isn't fair. Here is a word-for-word review that is on this thread right now
"

The game over all is amaing.
The interface needs just a little more work.
Yea the direction the game is going brings me joy.
But as a sick fuck such as my self i'd like to see the ability to interact with the family of your whores example if she has a 20 yo daughter you can corrupt her and get some nasty 3 somes etc.
"

There's a reason there's a '1-star' option when reviewing something, because sometimes people feel like games deserve it. There's a multitude of other games that deserve 4/5 stars in my book, but I just haven't reviewed them yet because:
a) they are already popular and have a ton of reviews
or
b) I didn't play the game enough to feel like writing out a verbose review.

Again, if half the people hating on me left a review, maybe the 1-star review would've landed softer. The only reason anyone is even paying attention to my review is because the developer mentioned it himself. I never expected this to happen, I didn't want this to happen, and yet my first interaction with the community here is entirely negative because the developer couldn't take a harsh review. I apologize for calling people 'lunatics', but I think we can agree there have been far meaner/harsher things said online with no recourse at all.

If you like the game, leave a review - partially blaming me for my opinion isn't going to bring spectre back, maybe a plethora of positive reviews will though.
I'm not bashing on you but rather pointing out things.
1) The OP did say that much is similar to EVIL but you should also know that you never assume a game will play exactly like and/or be exactly the same as the previous game. Yes he could have put more details on the OP about what has exactly changed between versions, but 11 posts down he did list some of the primary changes in the game.
2) True but not everyone follows standard versioning.
3) It is without a doubt easy to argue that a game with a "2" at the end will be nothing like the prequel and/or have nothing to do with its story. The AAA industry does this all the damn time. For example take Outlast 2, it does nothing to continue the story of Outlast as it is based around something else entirely (there maybe if there is an Outlast 3 to connect all 3 stories together). It doesn't even have to be a 2, take Fallout 3 and 4 they don't continue the same story but only a similar environment and game play feel.

If what you quoted to be your word for word review, it is 90% positive information. It sounds very positive so giving it a 1 star without giving any feedback as to why makes it look like your doing it out of spite or just because. Positive feedback with no constructive feedback and a zero or the minimum rating sends mixed messages.
Given what you also typed out above your quoted review makes it very obvious you had a very negative reaction to the game, but decided not to at all convey your problems with the game outside of the the broadest of broad suggestions in a positive review that you gave 1 star and no constructive feedback.
Do you see the problem here?

Yes spectre's reaction to a 1 star review and trying to have it removed makes it look really bad, however there is a small feeling i'm getting that there was more to the review than majority of us actually know. spectre could also be wanting a review removed if it is blatant hate, needlessly offensive, or hate speech. Generally though an individual who explosively reacts to a negative review shouldn't be exposing themselves to countless chances for them to receive negative feedback on.

For someone who reviews, you should know that giving a 1 star will immediately give a red flag to a dev. However with a 1 star review there is and should be feedback as to why, yet you didn't give any explanation as to why and mostly left positive feedback. Yes this only blew up because spectre called you out on your review, but this wouldn't have happened if you just gave your real thoughts.

If true, I didn't even realize devs could not really control tags for their own game. I wonder how this site can ensure good accuracy for tags when that is actually pretty important information for potential players.

BTW, I think QSP is a great program for certain types of games and really easy to edit, and I have no tech background. In both my favorite and least favorite game on this site at times (Girl Life), there is almost no content for the type of female PC I want to be, but you can edit it yourself! The program called I think QGen? lets you make changes really quickly. I'm not proficient enough to make entire new scenes (I think this might be possible to learn reasonably well though) yet, but I was able to pretty easily edit over nine existing scenes in only 2-3 hours with new text/pictures to match my desired type of character really quickly. That changed my PC from a nicer girl to a very evil one for those scenes. :)

So I hope this kind of - QSP - game stays because I think good community people over time could make it really good with their own specific contributions on top of the dev work.

I really enjoyed this game, still needs a lot of work, but an entirely other angle than GirlLife.

A shame that the dev here was alone, that makes it harder to stay motivated.

Also the birthyear of babies is not set, therefor they are a old as the gameyear ;-)
Easy fix, but I guess there is nowhere to commit it to.

I fixed that higher up in the thread along with some other bugfixes, it has a download for a fixed .qsp file.

How do you interact with anyone in the bar in the black district? I remember in an earlier version of the game that the bartender there would sell girls for $500 but in the latest version there is never an option to do anything there. Do I need to do something first?

Have whores on the street and Mubata will "offer" you protection. Then you can talk to the bartender.

Already has the abandoned tag? Know spectre sort of disappeared for the holidays but wouldn't be surprised if he popped back in. Other game I work on had a release so haven't done much here myself.

Yeah, kind of a shame since I usually ignore games labeled as abandoned, unless I happen to remember them from before when they were still in development.
To be fair, EVIL 2 is a bit of an unwieldy abomination, but it's a glorious abomination with lots of content and potential.

As for the 1-star review, fuck that guy. With a rake. Love how his defense basically boils down to plenty of people online are cunts, so I get to be a cunt too.

Oh I didn't see that. Nevermind it's dead as a horse.
I sure hope not, I have been testing this since the beginning. I just hope spectre1viper will login again. Sent him a message with just my opinions about this whole mess. If he doesn't come back the community has lost a great contributor, imho.

And for those wondering yes he really spent hours and hours a week for free for us, the community.
