Ren'Py Brothel King [v0.3] [Goldo]

[Jman9]

Both of your Snow Whites are masochists. It's Hermione who's the nerd (figures ).

I think you probably didn't actually interact with SW, and just consoled from the 'girls' screen. Or maybe something else. 'girl' is used all over the code, and can change quite frequently. 'selected_girl' is a bit better, and 'MC.girls[number]' is best to access a specific girl.

 

[Leortha]

1. Is it possible to give certain girls specific traits based on the girl? For instance, I found one time that when I used Ariel the Mermaid, she had a thing for "wet" and Belle loved books and so on. Made perfect sense, but I am under the impression this was just random. After all, I also had Hermione saying she hated books ...

If that was my pack, and I don't know if anyone else has done Ariel, then that was not random. The girl packs have a _BK.ini file that is able to program all sorts of things for the girls. We are able to set given traits to be more or less frequent. While it is highly discouraged, we are also able to set traits to always be on a given girl. It is discouraged because it makes that girl more predictable. Ariel getting the Wet trait is one of the few times I have actually given a girl a always trait. It just made too much sense for her, even though it's the wrong meaning of the word "wet".

Edit:
And any time I mention the wrong meaning of "Wet" I like to include the following gag image...

You people keep saying that, but I think it's just vanilla folks being repressed by Goldo's monogamy rules three-trait limit, jealous of Trait King's promiscuity variety, and trying to outlaw polygamy trait combos to make everyone else suffer just like you do.

Yep, you're correct. I had checked when I switched to Snow White, but apparently the code doesn't work unless you hit "interact" first. Once I did that, it showed the proper designation.

I guess the thing is that I just want a bit more consistency between meeting them when you visit the city and then having them in the brothel. They're having sex with me in the city and then they join the brothel and then they object to being nude for me in the brothel...

 

[Jman9]

It's something that used to bother me as well, to the point that I made my own checks to disallow sexing when they're not at least 'a little reluctant', and gating all the acts pretty heavily behind each other. But both of us add the MC's Charisma and the girl's love to the check, so she's more comfortable with all things while dating and having them butterflies, but not really when the magic ends and she discovers herself in a brothel, branded like cattle.

Goldo wants her girls more loose, and thus you get them playing more loose with the rules.

Hey dev, loved the game, played multiple times but getting money seems to be easy in this game and grinding through all the things a girl can do like being nude, service and everything else is a bit too long given the limited interactions the mc gets in a day . Also are there any other games like this with ability to train and have real girls?, so far i only know of this game and venus club.

Play on a higher difficulty and you will come to hate the Taxgirl.

The only game I know of that has (or at least had) significant numbers of 'real' girl packs is Whore Master. Granted, I am not very knowledgeable about 3D and 'real girl' games.

Or play your Bonanza mod and he will tearing his hair out from the lot of game over in the begining.

 

[Jman9]

Careful, he might actually try.

At least I never released my own version of 'guild tax', which was on top of regular taxes and really made money scarce. I had to constantly nerf the payment table as I played.

 

[xxxtent]

Hmm what is this Bonanza mod about? Im curious.

 

[Jman9]

It was about me going nuts tweaking 0.15. The end result was a wild swing between hair-tearing frustration ("The Dark Souls of pimping sims") and crazy unbalanced stuff.

You likely won't want to try. Have you ever ironmanned the original X-Com? Battle Brothers? Enjoyed Darkest Dungeon? Played on Challenging in one of Owlcat's games and liked it? If not, you'll probably hate it, and I've had enough haters of late.

 

[vadi9203]

At the start you cant even make the girl work Becuse she either refuse to work or the thugs flood your brothel and either make it messy or your girl get hurt. Getting your second slave after a long peroid of time wont help either it's just making you lose more money.

 

[Jman9]

Well, with some care you can make her work. She just won't be profitable. You've either got to use her as bait for violent customers and beat those up for their money (which is dangerous), or pray to RNGesus for some quests she can actually do.

Or just make her sit in a corner and train her up while trying to pick up lost purses for a few months straight. But even a fully trained rank F slave (yes, there are more ranks, and F is the really crappy one) will mostly just break even.

And if you persist and eventually make it into chapter 2, you will be living in the Land of Grind for quite a while. I mean, I know people criticise vanilla for the grind, but vanilla is all fluffy toy animals and rainbows compared to Bonanza. In vanilla, you'll get your first girl's first levelup after one night. In Bonanza, you'll be struggling for, uh, a week at least, possibly up to a month. Making it out of chapter 1 by month six is a minor achievement, and probably leaves you with holes in your setup. Vanilla might be halfway over by then. Etc.

It's a very strange, confusing and frustrating mod.

 

[xxxtent]

nah then im good, i like tough challenges which are justifiable , fun and are based on skill and have a reason for being more difficult and feel more rewarding . I mean after all this is a porn game, dont really want to lose my mind over crazy grind and RNG.

anyone know if you can just replace a girls picture pack, I'm not liking a certain girl pack anymore and want to replace just the pictures

There's the 'repair MC/girl pictures' button under the '?' menu.

Are you wanting to remove a pack altogether, or retain the pack and just replace the pictures?

But the more you talk about it being crazy ,the more I want to play it. does that mod work for latest build?

It does not. Bonanza is more a fork than a mod. And it was a fork of a specific point in time of the game a couple of years ago during the 1.5 time frame. Because so much was changed it was not rally possible to keep it updated as the main game moved forward, so Bonanza was pretty much left behind in the state it was in at that time.

 

[Jman9]

Yeah, Bonanza was basically its own game. I think in the end it was more or less in line with/built off of the last version of 0.15b. But 0.2 has changed so many things under the hood that it'd be a pretty major project to update it.

So, it is definitely missing a bunch of 0.2 goodness (chapter 2 story, contracts and Community Dialogue being the biggest things). It also included the other two major mechanical mods of the time (Trait King and JobMod), but Trait King has moved on by now as well.

It was also very unbalanced and unoptimised (=slow) in the later chapters. I did go back at one point and tried to combat the lag, but never got beyond a mild band-aid that didn't really solve the problem.

 

[Duke Greene]

I liked Bonanza, even though the early game could be unbearably slow and a single mistake or bad RNG had a good chance to make you spiral down to complete bankruptcy.
