I was wondering how is the beta going? lots of bugs found? Happy and satisfied subscribers? Or game breaking bugs all over and painful work making it all in a working state? I hope it's going smoothly and everyone is happy.

Don't know about actual feedback, just what I see on discord, but apart from some small bugs and inconsistencies there haven't been much. Couple of positive reviews, none of the "I regret ever downloading this shit".
So all in all I think it's good.

So when does all the stuff in the screenshots actually happen in the game? Cause interacting with them does nothing. Having to micro manage everything and getting no reward for it is insane. Should at least let people cheat the money.

You are right with this point, like many others have said this before you.

But two things to consider:
- This is not a regular VN, it's sandbox/open world. This means there's much more things in the background, than "just choices and variables". The dev made and remade and refined the UI and the mechanics many times. Most of the updates since 0.3 are game mechanics. It's not as visible as 2-3 sex scenes, but it's just as much work.
- The current update doubles the scene renders, which means actual events. The current render number in 0.5 is a bit over 1000. Sure, it's not a lot in 2+ years. But if you compare it to 0.4.5, which came out 7-8 months ago, then that 500 renders in those 7-8 months are a much better number. And if the dev keeps this pace (which he can with the current support), then this is going to take off very nicely.

And yes, I know we're on a pirate site, but if you check out subscribestar, the next goal is to get another person to help with the game.

The UI looks the exact same as the last time I've played this game and that was way back in early 2024. Things don't match up when you pull up the menu to see where everyone is. Progressing takes forever when having to micro manage making money, making sure to interact with people at the right time and there not really being any rewards for playing a real life simulator. Especially since for some reason no one else is working but still complaining about every little thing. Also the fact that you have to figure out the right meal to make so everyone is happy and satisfied.

Which screenshots do you mean? The ones that are promoting the 0.5 version? Well... they are in the 0.5 version, happening during the two new quests. Both can be started on the first week.
I'm not going to get into the money arguments. It's piss easy to make money enough for a week working 1 day.

Thank you for your feedback, I'll make sure it reaches the dev.

If the UI looks the same as "early 2024 version", than either the game you are playing or your memory is wrong. You can go back and check the devs post (either on substar or here) and see when the new UI element have been added.
Again... if have played the game even for 1 in-game week, you'll see that making money is easy, managing the family is easy, you don't have to"figure out the right meal", they get enough morale boost from any meal to keep everybody at max.

I remember how the dev wrote ups and downs is the point. You should manage the family. There will never be one meal to satisfy every family member. Sometimes you will make money and sometimes you will have to blow a load on your "landlady's" face. Micro-managing...It's in the game bruh.

but why? why can't every game be catered for one person's taste? why do people have to use the tags and search for things and read the description? why? when you can just click on any game and tell the dev to make that game like you want it.

I HAVE A DREAM!
In a perfect world, every game you play is YOUR GAME!
