NP! Once I tried to tweak your engineThanks again for the comments
change colours around a bit, not very successful - but, then you added themes, talk about good timing. If I may suggest one theme, somthing like "minimalistic obsidian" where you don't see the different "boxes" - all black background, content all tidy in its place, you just don't see the borders.The sleep issue: glad you like the rpg aspects as well, good sign for where you're taking your game. I do tend to add "needs mods" to my rpg games when I have them. Mostly because it feels like having a daily routine help immerse yourself in the game - I don't play hardcore "survival-mode", just add enough to require daily sleep and some food intake, which I can combine in a simple evening/morning routine.
A game like yours could do with a simple decay system, not necessarily as sophisticated as Girl Life or other games (damn, GL has the most complicated looks system I've ever seen, it's all calculated from stats and body mass using a formula, took them a lot of tweaking and I'm not sure it has that much of an impact). Could be fun if you tried to have a single stat that could function as energy/stamina, encouraging you to sleep every night. Or to keep it simple, sleeping less than 6 hours would leave you sleep deprived, with cumulative negative impact on your stats proportional to the number of hours of sleep deprivation, with, say, 12 hours, or 2 full sleepless nights, being the cap. You could choose not to sleep, but you'd be playing with max penalty to your stats overall. Or, to make it fun, being sleep deprived would make you proportionally more prone to get bullying events, and, numbing your reflexes, grey out the ability to fight back, as well as reduce your chance of running away successfully.
And since you didn't discourage me from giving you feedback... I keep thinking you should be forced to attend at least 45min of class in order to get the stat increase. Maybe make the option to attend class available only at o'clock and +15min. Attending class would randomly trigger and event with any of the other students present, or teacher, giving you a friendship boost with them, with a good probability, to compensate for not being able to talk twice more - it would mean a slower relationship grind overall, but also add some randomness to it, I think it would feel more relaxed than having to worry about whom to talk to during class, running around the classrooms to find the girls with pending quests. if you're feeling radical, you could make it so that you need to attend at least 4 classes every day, with each one less than the minimum counting towards absenteeism. High absenteeism could lead to being called to the principal's office and being issued punishment, which would reset your absenteeism.
