Making it even better

- Fixed a bug where, while working in the office, MC would come to work in the afternoon and get reprimanded by her boss for being late to work and absent at the same time. She could also be reprimanded for being late to work if she returned to the office after a business meeting while working in the office as an assistant.
- Increased drop points with the boss when the MC works in the office and refuses to comply with his requests for business meetings. Also made additional penalties for this case and summoning the MC to the supervisor's office for an unpleasant conversation.
- Increased the likelihood for MC to be robbed or raped at night in disadvantaged areas of the city and forest area. Reworked the game mechanics of these events, adding more unpredictability and drama (MC can now part with not only the wallet, but also with his life).
- Fixed a bug when working as a model, when the MC called from the studio at the time when she was on its territory and found out about the availability of jobs.
- Fixed the cost of the apartment in the Western district of the city, the cost of which was overstated by one 0.
- Fixed the display of the amount of money when MC renews the lease and she does not have enough cash and have to add money from the stash in the closet and a bank card.
- Fixed a bug in the cab, when, after the offer to pay in kind from one of the drivers, all the other drivers, on subsequent trips, also wished to do so.
- Added a bathroom to the navigation, to quickly move around the apartment MC (taking into account that it may be occupied by other NPCs)
- Made inviting the MC to the dance from male NPCs who are in the company when the date with them is in a restaurant, cafe or nightclub. It is also possible to get an invitation to the dance from an NPC when it is the only one.
- Large items such as an LCD TV, washing machine or dishwasher, MC can only buy if she has her own apartment.

Replace the "draka" folder in the game folder.

PUBLIC VERSION THE PROJECT v0.92.4 as of 03.06.2021

Many thanks to all the patrons who made it possible to make this public version happen !!!








We are still very much in need of support in order to implement all the goals, plans and your wishes in the project.
A huge request to ALL who are interested in the project - share the link and information about it.

Briefly changes, corrections and work done for the period from 28/04/2021:

- Continued to work on finding and fixing bugs
- Continued to work on improving the translation of locations.
- Made it possible to give your name to the saved version of the costume for the MC.
- Added the ability to influence some aspects of the game and MC parameters with the new cheat menu.
- Fixed the zeroing of the laundry basket counter in the laundry dorms and the city. Reworked the display of these locations.
- Removed stains from clothes if MC used the laundry room. Limited their stay on clothes by time interval.
- Optimized code for locations which were responsible for MC's work in office.
- Reworked the system of penalties and rewards in the office.
- Made MC's career advancement when she works as a specialist in an office. Now, under certain conditions, she can get a more prestigious position and a higher salary.
- Made a third direction of work in the office, when the MC works as an assistant (this does not require special education).
- The action of going to work in the office, in the location window of the area of the city, is now displayed until 12 pm.
Also in the office you can get to the office during working hours, through the display of offices in the list of locations of the city area menu.
- Made the effect of the MC's strong arousal on performance when she works in the office as a specialist.
- Reworked the communication with the NPCs in the office. Now you no longer need to scroll up to the top of the picture to know their reaction to your actions.
- Provided different options for business meetings when the MC is working as an assistant manager in the office. As always, we made it possible for the MC to make any decision that would affect her career in the office.
- Optimized the code, fixed bugs, and removed pop-up messages in the in-game mechanics of hitchhiking on the roads.
- Fixed a bug with nulling MC's offer of sex for money during love foreplay, which led to a worsening relationship with boyfriends on subsequent dates.
- Made an expanded menu of settings for education, experience and skills MC at the start of the game. Added some skills that were previously not displayed in the game.
- Fixed a bug with putting on and displaying clothes from the sex shop. Also fixed a bug with remembering clothes from the sex shop in the memory of player-created outfit options and dressing them from memory.
- We have allowed NPCs not to hold back their affection to MC and give her expensive gifts and jewelry. We also made it possible to give gifts and jewelry as a sign of love and for female NPCs.
Recall that gifts and jewelry can always be turned into money by using the pawnshop.
- Made the MC's reputation display in the office.
- Fixed a bug where the game mechanics took into account the low potency of male NPCs and interrupted a date that had just begun, assuming that the NPC and MC had already had intercourse.
- Reworked the game mechanics of restoring potency for male and female NPCs.
- Reworked the in-game mechanics of the MC changing clothes at the fitness center. In the old version, if the MC, after class, forgot to take off her gym clothes and put on the clothes she came in, then those clothes could disappear.
- Fixed a bug with the use of lubricant during MC masturbation.
- Added a tracker for the number of working days in the office to the MC's reputation.
- Added an umbrella cheat, when activated, the MC will always have an umbrella and it will no longer break. When starting a new game, this option is disabled.
- When hiring an office MC is no longer interested in whether she has a place to live in the city.
- The MC can now apply for any position to work in the office.
- MC can now work in the office if she is in her 2nd or 3rd year at University. She can take up to 5 weekday days off per month to deal with her education at the University.
- The starting salary in the office now depends on experience if she works as a specialist or secretary. If MC is a student, the salary will be minimum for that position regardless of experience. If starting out as an assistant, the salary is set based on appearance.
- In the office, it became possible to take time off work, which is not paid.
- With little experience and a bad reputation MC may not be hired in an office in the same area of town where she got a bad reputation.
- Made the basis for the corporate party in the office.
- Made in-game mechanics of interacting with NPCs at the party.
- Make drunkenness of NPCs at the party.
- Made it possible to have sex with NPCs at the party.
- Made mechanics of various offers from NPCs at the party.
- Made new mechanics for MC's vaginal lubrication and lubricant usage
- Redesigned roommate requirements for MC's appearance, reducing his appetite.
- If the MC is late for work at the office and, when she arrives, the boss is absent, he will no longer scold her for being late.
- Found one probable reason why MC had a hard time gaining weight. The game mechanics were writing off a large amount of weight on the day for natural needs. We reduced the amount of write-offs, if you notice any weirdness with the weight change, please report it.
- Reworked the mechanics of spoilage of food and ready to eat food. Added mechanics to determine if your food is fresh.
- Improved the gameplay mechanics of interacting with NPCs at a corporate party

Thank you so much for YOUR help and support !!!

A lot like the game GIRL LIFE The basic idea, game mechanics, pictures, etc. are similar everywhere. There is no direct WOW in this game, to distinguish it from the already famous game on the engine QSP

This is Simgirl all over again with a touch of Province. But at least this Developer is active and updates the game, which means that I'm not gonna judge them for basically taking over a great Project and keeping it alive with new content. I hope they will be able to make it their own one day

Looks interesting but the english seems bad from the preview images on the main post. Are those just old images and has the english improved since then?

the main issue is that such sub-genre* is not a good fit for any solo dev
[*] (lets call it lifesim/datesim&statsmanager sandbox drifting towards open-wordish/true-sandbox)
GL is a comparatively old project which afaik incorporated some developed scenarios/"bones" ... and i assume had several ppl involved to rework it and add some "meat"... and imo it is still far from being in optimal shape **
[**] lemme try to explain what i mean
-indeed, it has enough of content (bit more than a dozen of notable questchains which is the level of well developed "classic"/questchain sandbox)
-there are sufficient amount of RNG and minor gigs throughout the existing places of interest
-it has solid qol ...including buttons to dismantle all that statmanaging (im not sure that ppl actually want that managment angle , it is like devs keep reproducing that idea for no obvious reason and end up with adding cheats to avoid it.)
however it is no exception to typical issues within that ambitious subgenre
-most locations are not utilised or contain half cooked scenarios often relying on repetitive steps (thus grind, instead of following some scenarios steps)
-naturally most things became known and seen at some point (inlcuding multimedia) thus all rng events, datesim components or jobplace repetitive activities became a routine you want to avoid.
-vague updates. i cannot say that i played gl long time ago but i didnot get a sense of anything worthy being added lately.
(generally it will not be surprising as dev(s) attention n energy is usually dispersed throughout dozens of locations/npcs/gigs resulting in players getting nothing tangible/traceable)
so GL is on top ... and i may say that it is well deserved...but at the same time i feel like it is there because other projects ceased to exist or exist but for a relatively short time and with more limited resources .

Honestly it feels a bit more "alive" than the previous similar games.
Like, it's more "modern" and so far I appreciate it.
The add of the cheat menu will certainly add to the experience, going to test this

Since in real life a person's daily weight cannot vary greatly, the game uses mechanics that balance it, preventing the MC from dying of exhaustion.

Thanks for finding the mistake!!! By popular demand, we are trying to make an NPC with a more realistic behavior model. So some of them in sex can ignore MC rejection and even use force. This is not an easy task and some of these mechanics are still being finalized.

does doing lsd really need to have a 20 minute slideshow of random google images?
No, that's not necessary. We are not going to make dogma. What alternative do you see? How did you want to convey the feelings of this event and the time that has passed that you can no longer return?
