QSP About It [v0.97.9 Public] [about_it]

[Karnewarrior]

The tags say rape but after walking around the shadiest parts of the city I could find late at night with attractiveness high all I managed to do was break up 20 different fights in the street.
Russia is a different place than America, dude.
Where do I go to be an unfortunate victim of a man with more muscle than morals?

 

[Jackell100]

Ooof hope your uncle didn't let any sand get up there.

Nah, I was pretty easy with him

We were not ready for this. You are giving work for a specific event. We do not refuse this, but for now we are solving pressing problems.

 

[about_it]

So, I understand you're a small team, and you're undertaking a huge project. I respect the hell out of you all for doing this, and I love how interactive you are with us, and though the following is probably going to sound extremely negative, I don't mean to be insulting. I love what you're working on, and would love to see you succeed, and am only trying to provide constructive criticism.

That being said, it seems like you looked at the worst parts of SimGirl and GirlLife, and went "Let's make a game out of THAT." I understand you want to build a simulator, but, it's a little excessive. Let's just look at eating for example. Go to the kitchen. Cook food. How many portions? 1. Eat food. Drink water. Wash dishes. That's a little too much, and everything is like that. Hunger and thirst could be combined. Cook and eat could be combined. So in the end, you have "eat" and "clean". 4 choices to 2. And, like I said, so many things are like that. Take the subway. Enter. Buy ticket. Get in train. Close a seperate window that told me I got on it. Go to next station. Go to next station. Go to next station. Instead, just let me get in it and choose where I'm going. There's so much that can be streamlined into a less frustrating experience.

I know we've talked ad nauseum about the beauty thing, but it's too much as well. After spending tons of money just to get to "pretty", I went to homeless just by taking a walk.

I like the framework you have set up. I like the apartments, the sex scenes feel interactive, you're working on lesbian content, which is great, you have a solid foundation. But I would love to see you all spend an update or two making things less of a clicking chore, and more of a package, you know? I know you've said the beauty thing is to show how hard it is to be pretty, and I understand you want a full simulation in your simulation game, but there is a fine line between fun and obnoxious, and those aspects have currently crossed that line. If you tighten up the simulation aspect over the next few updates, then I really think you guys could have a great project here, but right now, just doing really anything is a chore.

Thank you so much for your feedback, it is very useful for us. You see, for a long time we were in a vacuum and under pressure. There were moments when I wanted to send everything to hell. It was the lack of constructive dialogue that led to the creation of unnecessary things. Believe me, we wanted it to be better. Behind all this is hard work and sleepless nights. Now we firmly know that without all of you we mean nothing and we won't be able to make a good game. Please, we will not be able to solve a bunch of problems at once and develop the game further. Give in order what needs to be corrected first.

 

[about_it]

Thank you so much that many of you have treated us to coffee by joining us on Patreon. As you can see, we try to post bug fixes and new content at least twice a week. We're thrilled that more players will be able to voice their opinions, try out and evaluate the new employment and income mechanics for MC in early access to the public version. Also yesterday we posted a few bug fixes for dating the female characters that you pointed out to us. Please leave your comments on Patreon or here so we can understand if the issue is resolved. This will help us better prepare for the next public release.

Great, thank you for the quick fix

I see. Thank you for the information!

Please, we will not be able to solve a bunch of problems at once and develop the game further. Give in order what needs to be corrected first.

The translation is a little difficult to understand. I assume it is also rough when going from English to Russian. For this reason, I will keep my sentences short and simple.
Here are the problems I saw while playing that can be fixed:

1: There are too many things that have to be done that also take a lot of effort to do. It is unnecessary for food and drink to have different bars. Who does not drink when eating? Eating at a restaurant takes too much time. Why make us order food if there is no choice to be made? There is only one type of food, and so a menu for ordering is useless. Make it a button.
It is the same with the Subway. All the things in the Subway can be moved into the back of the program. Instead of riding each station individually, have the player select a station to go to. Then the game can calculate how far you go. If an event happens then, show the event. Otherwise, place the player at the station they wanted. Much easier, and it does not take 40 clicks.

2: No stopping NPCs when they want to put on condoms. I want to play a stupid girl. I am a bad person. I am also a sad person, because I cannot ask NPCs to go in raw. NPCs also control where they cum. I climbed on top of a NPC to force him to creampie my girl. But with no warning he pulled out and came on my stomach. Maybe more warning comes with being an experienced slut? More information about your partner during sex would help greatly. More control would also help.

3: Razor blades are not sold at the mall? The cosmetics store at the mall should have razor blades. My girl lives in the Central city. Instead of using razors, she gets waxed. Not because it is better, but because it is easier. Razor Blades are sold halfway across the town!

----

Those are the issues I had with the game. NPCs are very shallow, also, but you have said that the intention of the game is to illustrate the struggle of a woman remaining sexy for her partner. I am a man who loves small breasts, so I became salty when I saw attractiveness go up with bigger breasts. But I am used to this. It is not a big deal.

However, if About_It wants to, I also think that more could be done with attractiveness. As a statistic, it is very boring. Just a number that goes up and down. However, if it is divided, men could be given different things they like. Wearing certain clothes would attract a different kind of man. Large breasts and short skirts attract lewd men. Men who want the Player because she looks like she has good sex. Small breasts and fluffy sweaters attract men who want cute girls. These men want the Player because they want to protect her. Glasses and business clothes attract men who want pure girls. These men want the Player because they want to corrupt her.

Now attractiveness is the total of three numbers, and only one number can be large at a time. Different men come depending on what kind of girl you are. What they want and like is different as well. It would be much more fun. However, also very complicated to set up. I understand if About_It does not want to do this.

 

[SOABFE]

I would really like to try the game but sadly I can’t open the archive. I’m on a mac (Mojave), downloaded from Mega, Gofile and Nopy (filesupload still downloading) and tried to open the archive using The Unarchiver, Keka and UnRARX with no success. Has anyone been able to open the archive on a mac?

Nvm, copied the archive to a VM, 7Zip did the job.

Thank you so much for your detailed comment. We often compensate for water with food, it turns out a littlet. We'll redo it. The restaurant is seen as a playground for escort services. In addition, the staff does not like to have a table empty. MC is looking for rich clients, but the time in the restaurant plays against her. We have tried to convey these aspects. As you can see, the "Look around" action is not constant, and in a restaurant it is also expensive. We try to do so that the player appreciates resources, and is not indifferent to their replenishment, as in other games where there is always a lot of money.
Controlling the end of sex also bothers us, periodically we change or rebuild the mechanics. We will think about it how to do. The mall does not have an accurate translation. A razor means disposable razors.

The attractiveness of the chest remained from SimGirls. I agree with you, chest, butt, weight - all this needs to be redone. It is necessary to make preferences in the generation of NPCs. We have been planning to do this for a long time and we really want it, but the problem is with the availability of free time.

We will try to fix the metro in the near future. Although they wanted to spend it on acquaintances through a laptop.
Understand correctly. We don't want to look like panhandler.
The donation on patreon is minimal. But on good terms, this should have been put to the vote of the patrons. They pay us a lot of money - as much as $ 3. And we will look like liars for not consulting with them. We do not want money by deception, let's hope for their mercy. Life does not spoil us, and if there is a choice work to feed the family or work on a game, we cannot afford the latter. The team is tired of looking at my empty hands. We understand that everyone is so bad now. Don't be offended if some things take much longer.

 

[about_it]

Attention to our patrons !! We made a laptop and put it in Early Access on Patreon. If you have questions or ideas in this direction, leave them in the comments where it is convenient for you.

I would advise you to post the game on tf-games as well. If you work on a little more emphasis on mental or physical character changes, of course. Because their specification says about the obligatory presence of transformations.

P.S. Thank you for your game, I will follow and support it as it develops. But at the moment I have several problems and misunderstandings.

I would like to note the problem with the fact that in no way can I heal the bruises from the blow of an alcoholic on a walk. They've been bothering me for months.
Also, if I ask to buy me an expensive handbag in a boutique, they buy it, but I can't find it anywhere.
Why can't I entrust the cooking and grocery routine to a maid? Why is she needed then?
Every time I try to exchange numbers with a girl, she immediately starts to say goodbye, no matter how good my character looks.
How can I use the sex shop chastity cage and strapon?
Why doesn't an umbrella protect you from the rain?

Feels bad, man.

You're welcome. I am glad I did not sound angry or unhappy with you. I was worried that would be the case. This is a good game.

I did not catch that meaning of the restaurant. I have not yet worked as a prostitute in the game. I enjoy slow breaking of people, and I am not yet at a place where my girl would become a whore.

I knew of the disposable razor translation. What I meant was "Disposable Razors are too difficult to get". They are not sold at many places which should sell them. Mall in Central City is one such place. Maybe Russia is different, but in America any mall will have a disposable razor to buy.

The attractiveness of the chest remained from SimGirls. I agree with you, chest, butt, weight - all this needs to be redone. It is necessary to make preferences in the generation of NPCs. We have been planning to do this for a long time and we really want it, but the problem is with the availability of free time.

I understand. I have programmed parts of a game before (Not a good game, or complete game). It is an intense process. This would be complicated. I am glad we agree that it is a goal, however.

In games like this, other people are always simple. Simple machines look for high numbers in everything. They do not feel real. Of course, simple machines are easy to program. But giving the machine a goal? This is hard. But it makes the NPC feel real. Making the computer pretend is easy. But making the pretend into math? So the computer can understand? Not so easy.

We will try to fix the metro in the near future. Although they wanted to spend it on acquaintances through a laptop.

Money is always the first thing that matters. If an artist starves, they cannot paint. So please do not starve.

Patreon has strange priorities, sometimes. Wanting the Metro fixed is not so strange though. It will make the game much better, to have that done.

 

[Asia Argento]

Also, if i have a dude’s number in my phone that mean I am not allowed to pursue women? Like does the game auto deny it?

 

[poiman]

Maintaining attractiveness is a bullshit, what bother about making scale 1/100 when you cant have more than 30 with extremely pain in ass XD

The bruises should heal over time. We'll definitely see what happened. We may need to add an ointment or cream.

The bag changes itself, in the description, when you are in the bags menu, it will say "Branded bag", and this will automatically add attractiveness.

When you hire a maid, there should be food in the fridge, then she cooks herself and there is already prepared food in the kitchen.
If there is no food, she does not cook. Product purchases are not included in its rental.

Fixed exchange of phones with a girl, an umbrella. But for now, it is available on Patreon for regular visitors. We must wait for the public version.

Some of the products from the sex shop are not ready yet, we will definitely make them over time.

Thank you for your comment !!!

Improved razor translation and added them as you requested in cosmetics boutiques. There they are called "Hair depilation products". While it is available on Patreon. If you're not a patron, wait for the public version.

We really want to make a good game and your comments help us.

A year ago, when we first started making the game, they doused us with mud and wiped our feet, calling us scammers. We continued and are no longer offended. All people are different, but there are still more good people.

We have learned to appreciate you all who help and are very grateful to you !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We tried to make sure that nothing would be repeated. It is necessary to wait a bit and the events that are necessary will come.
While the date with the male and female NPCs is not yet ready at the same time. We are not great specialists in programming and many things take a long time.

At first, when we tried to attract real programmers to the game, and explained what we wanted, they said that it was not possible. But as you can see, we have proved the opposite.

Do not be angry!
Try a clean body, clean expensive clothes, hairstyle, fingernails and toenails, tanning, waxing, perfume, handbag and phone, cool makeup and easily have more than 30.

Visit a plastic clinic and beauty salon, don't be lazy.

Feel what it means to be a woman and appreciate what they do for us.

This is just a game. She's for fun. You not to be angry.
