Ren'Py - Brothel Megacorporation [v0.22] [Khing Orchestra]

Way to much grind for to little content. Was trying to get to wife's pregnant content but quit after being blue balled for 2 hours. Without all the mechanics that purposefully draw out the game you could finish in less than a hour.

(0.8)

Coming off from Yakuza 0's cabaret club mini game I had an itch to play more management games. That's when I stumbled upon this game.

Strong and solid gameplay foundation, with serviceable fap material not to mention a decent and believable world building. I myself didn't even explore the sexual content of this game until my brothel had a stable income. To those that don't like the grind there are cheats to help, but don't worry your brain will still get that dopamine hit when big number get bigger.

My rating might be biased, but it's current rating of 3.5 stars does not do this game justice for the potential and what it offers to the table at this stage of the development

v0.7

The game's got an interesting grind/ progression to it, and the female models look great.

The animations need some work though, they're way too robotic.

Overall, the games going in a great direction

I love management games so it's a nat 5 but actually having models and being a be to see visible progress is amazing, not to mention the fact that it's not just sex it could almost a business simulator. but that doesn't mean the porn game aspects are lacking with a multitude of fetishes, girls and more to come I hope, the Porn game part is well under devolvement and killing it finally the VN portion is where the story comes into play with a main story and most characters having a brief backstory that makes them more than sex toys. now ofc it's not perfect but people love to complain so I'll leave that to others, but I will say with the business management part it's easy to lose track of things and it would be nice to get reminders that you can toggle on and off.(and the animations nonstory related animations)

A functional brothel game at this point.
Simple features, a work in progress.

I like that the dev is trying to impose his vision on building a brothel game, but I fail to see any unique features that make it standout from the competition.

Normally, I'll give a game of this quality a 2/5 but seeing the regular updates and the dev building a solid fountain, I think it deserves a 3/5.
Will Keep an eye on this title.

This game gets it right where it matters the most: gameplay. Building your brothel is interesting and the strategy elements make it an engaging activity.

However, there are a lot of things this game gets wrong and that could be massively improved upon.

First of all is the UI, which requires you to click and move your mouse a whole lot during gameplay. I mean, if the game involves a ton of grinding, the least the devs could do is to place the "close" buttons all in one place so I don't need to move the mouse all the time to do that. This might seem like a pet peeve of mine, but when you gotta do it hundreds of times, it gets really annoying.

Second, the art can be improved a lot. It's great to see how renders from later versions are much better than those from the earlier ones, but the whole thing about a lewd game is to reward players with great lewd content after some effort. And in this regard, the reward sometimes is lacking since the arts and animations are not that great.

All in all, I'd say this is a good game for people who enjoy strategy games, but beware that it is very heavy on grind. Lewd content is far from the best among the lewd games, but it has been improving recently.

One of the best managing games out there. The animations are not perfect but better than most others you find here. It has content for 1 - 2 hours but is getting updates frequently so that's good.
Hoping to see it continued and improved in the future!

Looks like a real diamond in the rough. I think this has a lot of potential and the stuff that's already there is good, if a bit rough around the edges.

This game is in the early stages but already has more systems then most other more seasoned games and importantly all the different parts play together decently well and fit the narrative.

You can upgrade your brothel, take over other companies (actually a decent card-mini game there btw, but you can avoid it if you want) and even get a corporate wife to breed your heir.
All of this is not well filled out yet hover it feels like a bunch of game mechanics have been implemented, not just one-of hardcoded stuff.
At the same time there are some story events interspurced to make the characters more lively and distinct. Good balance.
The 3D model art is good, though the animations are lacklust, but that's fine for now.

v0.3
Woah, that was a pretty good experience. The quality of these models are top tier and there are many positions for each girls (currently 7 trainable).

This game surprised me in the late game as it started from a tiny brothel management and turned into a capitalist game buying out all other competition (girl staff included).

The grind was a bit real during the late game where you had to borrow and invest money into stocks and hope it'll rise so you can buy out other companies or battle them. After buying the first 2 companies, I had to cheat the money as it just was too grindy. There's a neat card game to reduce the amount of the company price, but it's still lengthy. There's at least an option to skip time so you gain passive income of a week at a time.

Overall, this game is solid for an early version. Not sure how big this game will be but it's a game of itself as of right now.

As of v0.2 there's a lot of here to like, but also a lot to be unsure of. One the plus side, the central game play loop is good. It really captures the best of management sims well. Financial management is fun, but there's no clear ending. I wish I had a clearer idea of where the content ended.

If there is a main problem it's that there is relatively little sex in this game that is about a brothel. The renders are clean, but they're very stiff an lifeless. I'm looking forward to future updates.

Pretty uninspiring stuff.

The backstory is just plain stupid.

The dialogue is likewise frequently just plain stupid and annoying, in addition to being seriously wooden and lifeless.

The models do not really rise to a level you could call mediocre.

Animations are not animations (2-3 frames).

In short: it doesn't look good and it's badly written. Two stars might be slightly generous.

Really excels at wasting your time. Also seems to have been inspired by, and took literally all the wrong lessons from, Cruelty Squad. Like a teen reading Neuromancer and thinking "oh boy this cyberpunk future sounds so cool!"

The very core of the game has potential, but almost everything is executed poorly. Also its clear the creator is reaching far past their grasp.

A brothel game where you train both your courtesans and yourself while trying to make a profit and expand? Has potential. The idea of having to work on yourself to be a better brothel manager really drew me in. But a brothel game where you train both your courtesans and yourself and form a company and an ad agency and a law firm and you have unlockable perks oh and also there's a stock market and a energy/drug system and a loan/interest system and a hostile corporate takeover system all coated in worldbuilding and lore for a dystopian cryptopunk world? C'mon, you're going for a bit much there.

Who knows, maybe there is a market for this game, but if it continues in this direction it's certainly not for me.

First impressions for v0.1
This is a very basic "management" game, with very little management. Story starts you off trying to open a business and you receive an old hotel that you turn into a brothel. From there you have 3 sentence interviews with some chicks that are basically always "I just want money, idc lol do whatever you want" then you take them to your brothel, fuck them for test and from there on they work for you. Then you "train" them by repeating the same basic sex acts over and over in one of their 4/5 skills (Handjobs, Oral, Genital, Alt/Fetish, Special/Job). Very monotonous, boring after seeing it once. Training requires Energy, but Energy is completely imbalanced, very easy to go to gym a few times and it scales up to near infinite training sessions. Overall very little "story", mostly just a short story snippet after leveling up a girl. There was a hint of something fresh happening after a while, e.g. such as after finishing the reception stuff which promised new stuff via CCTV but I checked daily and nothing new happened, just old repeated scenes. The management also includes taking over other companies but that is done really boringly, basically just throwing money by clicking buttons with no story, no characters, no new gameplay, etc. Felt extremely unrewarding.

Overall there is some minor frame work, with poor balance and some bugs (I had perk points go into negative 400) and very little story with monotonous repeats. Pacing felt way off, acquiring all girls almost instantly and then nothing new happening ever. I take into account this an early build so still gets an "average" rating from me, but on the low end.

Models are good training is straightforward and it has a surprising amount of content for an initial release with a good variety of girls and a lot of room to expand my only complaint is the game is still pretty vanilla sex wise but it is still only v.01 so my hopes are pretty high for future releases

I love brothel management games, and I would love to like this one but there are some important issues.

The reactions of the female characters are almost none... they remain serious in any situation, and that's an obvious blow for the game.

Games as this one must be grindy and that's ok, but having to repeat the same scene 300 times should be avoidable.

UI needs some work, as side content to be less repetitive.

Hunting girls instead of chosing from a list would be nice.

Always willing to give a management game a try. Pretty sure I maxed everything out for this initial version of the game.

Pros:
- Good character models
- Spelling and writing are good. At least for a management type game. Don't expect some elaborate plot and character development from the girls or MC.
- Animations present, but they're not the best (I'll elaborate in cons)
- Progression is pretty straightforward
- It's a management game so there has to be some grind, but it's honestly not that bad. For initial release you start your girls (4) out at E experience which means no experience. It only took me about 2 hours to max them out to C which is the highest you can go as of now.

Cons:
- Character models are good, but I would like to see better facial expressions. During H scenes it kind of looks like you're fucking a doll in some positions.
- Animations are okay, but as mentioned some girls have very little facial expressions and combined with pretty static animations it seems doll like.
- Grind isn't too bad. However, it would be nice for a way to increase energy down the road. Being only able to train a girl twice at full energy ones more girls get added looks like it would lead to longer grind times.
- This is my biggest con for me personally. Grind isn't bad, but it feels like a grind mainly because during training you get no variety and you see the same thing over and over making it a little boring, Also when you use the CCTV screen to look at the girl service the client it's also (at least for now) usually the same thing as well. I think you see a new scene after every level up.

Overall, not bad. Looking forward to future updates and to see what direction this game takes.
