Some larger houses take a while. My current one, done before Kevin's, took over two hours of real time.
We'll find out soon enough, the 29th isn't that far away and there's no way they'll drop a patch without telling us what's in it.

Hey,
So I have been playing this game quite a lot myself and ended up wondering what the game was mostly missing in my eyes.
And I came to the conclusion that it was an incentive to keep playing because of the lack of challenge and consequences.
Especially after you're done unlocking everything, there's not really much to keep you playing actively.
So I have been thinking, what would you guys think about unlocking survival components for the main character?
Instead of being a passive god managing the girls, I felt it would add challenge and more interesting gameplay mechanics
if the MC also had his own needs to manage (which would pretty much turns the game into something closer to The Sims).
Let's just imagine the MC's tab on the phone with like 6 gauges or so:
-Hunger -> need to cook and eat. Low hunger -> MC can't run anymore, only walk.
-Bladder -> need to use restrooms. Low Bladder -> can't craft, can't gather.
-Sleep -> need to use bed to regen and sit to freeze the gauge. Low sleep -> MC faints (force sleep where you stand for X hours)
-Cleanliness -> need to shower. Low Clean -> Decrease the girls' mood when interacting with them.
-Fun/Mood -> need to gather or H. Low Fun/Mood -> same effect as "Deep Darkness", thus making the girls tired when interacting with them.
-Temperature -> sensible to climate, need to manage body temp with drinks etc or interacting with a fireplace/fan. Any affliction (cold/heat) -> Can't H.
(Other than Temperature, I imagine all those gauges to be very slow so the game doesn't turn into an annoyance. MC should be able to last 2-5 days without sleeping for example)
Unfortunately, I am no programmer at all and I have no idea if these are even possible to mod into the game or not.
But when I see talented modders like EroShane who clearly appreciates the game and want it to last.
I felt like it wouldn't hurt to throw this idea, just in case someone shares a similar feeling and might be able/interested to
make it real.
What do you guys think? C:

Quite frankly it doesn't make much sense why this stuff isn't in the game; the one non-synthetic on the island is immortal and has zero needs or wants.

thank you for this reply it helped a lotYou get bonus points for the Jurassic Park reference (Nedry's computer) there.
I transitioned to 2.0 now.
Only severe bug I had was that the clothes of the PC were stuck in their initial state during H. Killed the responisble mod and I can now undress with the push of a button again.
Translation is definitely nicer but the game is prone to FPS drops. Imho more so than 1.3.
I'd sy give it a shot, saves are compatible back and forth as long as you don't use the new housing items or mods that depend on 2.0.

The top one was what I was trying to use, re-d/l it again and its working now.
Glad to hear that, I was concerned Illusion's nested if-else statements wasn't actually a slap-dash way to hiding some sort of bug where multiple if statements were returning true, and they just wanted to force the function to only return the call for the highest anti-aliasing setting selected.
It says they'll have new costume pieces, accessories, H-postion, hair pieces, motion, features, and studio/housing items. They show examples of some of those things in the announcement: mecha parts, sci-fi bondage/sybian device, and some sort of motion
You can do that, in fact, one of the default girls, the ones that come with the game, is nearly flat to the point that it could be a rule 7 violation if there wasn't other parts of her keeping her from that.
Thanks for the info, looks like I'm not done upgrading just yet. I'll need to find a way to add that new H device to certain sections of the house I'm using and maybe a few other things depending on what all they add.
Actually, there is a perfectly good reason they didn't. This is an Eroge, a hentai game. They intentionally left out the player having to worry about their own stats so there wouldn't be so much micromanagement that the player was more busy with that than the actual hentai parts. Some people, a lot actually, don't like to have to work for the sex scenes. You see this all the time with RPGM game threads where everyone and their mother asks for a full save before they even get the chance to play for real. For that reason, I would suggest this be made optional. I personally don't care as I play the games for the game part anyway, but that is just me. I'd probably use it at least one time to see what it's like.

Yeah except the Play series does have stuff like that in it, and given they went through the trouble of making the gambitting array in the first place AND making both "canon" and "predicament" scenarios for all four girls that are different not only for each girl (girl 1 has no short term memory but remembers what the island was like when it had people, girl 4 remembers Shan and Beauty being two different people but can't remember how she got in the pod, Girl 2 can read and write just because etc etc) but different for each personality archetype, "lemme smash, k" doesn't really track because Illusion is already aware those things exist and have for every game since AA 1. This seems more an omission of effort than of deliberate choice.

Mods are always optional. You don't want it, don't get it.
But if let's say this was implemented by the developers, I actually agree this should be made optional, like a difficulty setting you chose when starting a new game "Normal" or "Survival" mode. Giving players the choice is a nice way to satisfy everyone.
And as for people who do not want to bother working for sex scenes, I'd answer this is mainly why Free H mode exists.
Illusion's games mainly made a difference on the market by providing sex oriented games with an actual gameplay.
