it DOES needs better instructions for the minigames.
All the minigames boil down to click the screen and watch an animation occur of an arrow flying towards a target. The only one to differ of this is the bar minigame wich you again just click on a drink and drag it to the patron with the same drink icon above their head.

What part of these minigames were unclear for you?
Ergo what part would require more explanation?

Lol, don't respond to posts like these bro, it's just a waste of time, just like the comment in the first place. Take the high road, you have the power here, random commenters (particularity ones that aren't patrons) don't.

Anyways, I like the mini games, they provide somewhat interesting things to do between the porn, certainly better than cookie-cutter grind.. Porn games are all about finding the correct content drip of content, like morphine through a tube. If the games' all porn, why would the player even play instead of watching animo pron or something? On the other hand, hardly any pron and too much play, why use is the game (as the primary objective of all these games is for masturbation)? It's all about feeding the player a stream of porn at a rate that neither overwhelms them nor bores them, a balance that only enhances the experience and lets the player edge for hours .That's my 2 cents anyways
Mostly wanted to put out the idea that "different players will like different things."

I didn't expect it to be a hard concept to grasp, much less this kind of elitism/arrogance about the subject.

I don't know man.

Getting "pissy" over a person spewing "opinion" as fact is pretty normal when it concerns your work. You might not have anything of value that you'd defend but Mirthal sure does.

Why shouldn't he care about someone else's opinion anyway? He's trying to make people enjoy and play his product. Customer feedback etc.

> nobody really wants
> the reality is

Oh excuse me, I didn't know you dictated reality.
I guess the people that tell me they enjoy the minigames are a figment of my imagination...

Like, you don't even have to go anywhere, they are on this same thread review section...

I'll back that whole thing up as well. The bar minigame is a little harder for me if I don't use the swiftness potion but the arrows and the fishing as well as the black jack are the ones I come back to quite often. Black jack was the original money maker for me until I throw some music on and just fish.

I'm not a fan of minigames in porn games because it adds a level of tedium that I am not really looking for. But the minigames in Aurelia are pretty short and they are better done compared to other games that do them (in my experience anyway). The ease of access to the content is also pretty high, which is great considering how high quality the art and animation is. I don't think that level of vitriol is warranted for fairly innocuous minigames.

That being said, I wish there were more than just achievements for getting higher scores. It would be more rewarding if it led to altered scenes, if not with new/altered art then at least with altered text.

So I guess a fun question is, who on the dev team has what score in the mini-games? Both with and without the potions.

I personally don't really have a high-score saved for any of them tbh. (I think I got to lvl11 on the bar one)

Usually, my way to test minigames goes like this:
> I play it in its entirety (or until a reasonable level in case the mini-game can be infinite) without using potions or any options that can make it easier (like spells).
> I tone it down slowly until I can consistently get there without having to focus too much.
> Once reached that point I'll tone it a bit under that and add a VERY easy version with the potion.

So If I had to bet, I would say I'm likely the one with the high-scores in the team, due to the fact that I have to replay all the minigames for testing purposes, several times.

This will likely all change in v18, due to the addition of attributes/perks/equipment, which will dictate how "easy" the minigames are.

Stuck on Scarlet, and calling out a typo:

Naamu says

Someone in the tabern can help you, let Orson's wisdom guide you.
Not seeing any new options, and the old options don't seem to do anything new.

I'm also seeing the thieves constantly give me the directions to the stash, and the stash is continually lootable.
