To start with, I think you're doing something great here, and I'm looking forward to some version down the line, but...
I've played rather early version of the game (v0.1), while there was barely any content, and now got back to try it again...
While there's more content I don't find any pleasure in playing the game... at least there are ways to cheese it, but...
One of the main issues I have with the game is money earning collides with shitload of quests, a bunch of quests are set at the same time too (11AM on Weekends), which leaves you doing nothing on days, but if you want to earn money at garage, it's from 9-12, so you're not doing shit for quests. Same as for bunch of quests which are done on work days, most of them are done at 9AM, so you're doing nothing...
Also... since game works in 15 minute steps, there should absolutely be a 15 minute skip too, not just an hour skip.
After some grinding, I've found it best to "sit" in gym skip days by hour, talk to people there, build up strength, attend class, read books, to grind skills, and then pass rest of the day while still in the gym, then progress a quest or two on weekends, and then again pass the week, so I could progress stuff on weekend... the issues pops up when you have to earn 100 to progress to next step of the quest (probably more later), which so that's passing 2 weeks, so you could progress a quest on 3rd.
Dunno... I didn't read the content, but there was never an option to start a job in the Supermarket, I did complete quest, but my only option was to work at dad's. There are probably better ways to earn money later on, but since saveeditonline didn't work to fix my money issues, and let me enjoy the game with less grinding, I've decided to give up at this time. Like... I have to spend 50+20 on Eva, 100 on Balaclava (who the fuck pays 100 for a Balaclava, just get one for 5 bucks), 100 for Laptop, 20 for Eliah(?)... now covert that into 50 per week...
Honestly... I wonder if some devs play other games on here, and do they enjoy grinding there. I know you want to extend gameplay, so that it seems like there's a lot more content than there actually is, since it takes a lot more time to implement that contet, but having to grind/skip in game days which lasts 10 more times than a few minutes of content isn't enjoyable to people (and I'm not talking just about me).
Few issues popped up during gameplay tho. Some quests steps wouldn't work, especially things like opening attachments. Like... Fox would send me two attachments of her costumes I couldn't see either of them (I think it happened 3 or 4 times actually), there is a button for them, but when I click nothing happens. Someone else (Coco I think) also sent, couldn't open it. But when someone third sent, I could.
Now I don't think it actually stopped the quests from progressing, but still... since I have to spend 15 minutes grinding to see one image, it better show up! lol
I didn't really like how interface works, and having to go diagonally over the screen to triggers stuff all the time, but what I've actually found annoying is how locations are separated, like... instead of having first floor and all locations, second floor and all locations all on offer, having to move to stairs each time to get to 2nd floor was really annoying.
Which becomes a lot bigger issue with school, and when I'm trying to find specific person, and then go get to gym, I need to go through boys changing room, to get to library, I need to select other corridor, and icon are smallish, and it's easy to missclick.
I think school would benefit greatly from having it's own map (like main city does, so you can know which characters are where in school, and not having to look for them, room by room).
I think some of the videos are needlessly long, which will add to issue of game being 10GB by the time you're done if trend continues. A few pictures can tell a lot more at times. Some of the vids I've enabled content browser to enable skipping parts to see if there's anything interesting... and there wasn't.
There's no load game in game, so if I've wanted to test stuff out, and "save scum", I've had to refresh the browser, and load the game from the starting screen. Not really an issue, just extra step, but...
