Ren'Py Brothel Megacorporation [v0.25] [Khing Orchestra]

[Loganfin]

I love the potential that this game has. I'd love to play a good brothel sim with a lot of content, and I hope that this one continues to develop. The start is good, and I like the initial interactions that are there with the girls who are in the game so far. I also love that the MC can see them fucking other clients, because what's a brothel game if the player is the only one who's ever having sex?

The couple of brothel sex scenes with the girl wearing glasses are really hot for as short as they are. And this dev has already done a better job with cumshots and ejaculation animations than almost any other I've seen. Big thumbs up for that. Watching the dude's cock and balls throb as he cums inside of her is so hot. I really wish that more games showed that.

A con, as others have said, are the lifeless expressions and lack of emotions from the girls so far. Just lifeless dolls almost. Hopefully that gets better. I also worry that this engine will limit how many different girls are able to be added with any real amount of quality, and how many different scenes that we'll get with each one. Fingers crossed. I actually enjoy the grinding aspect as long as there's a lot of variety.

Hello
Beyond the graphics, the location of the validation areas (clicks) is not very ergonomic. Progress in this direction would make training less tedious.

to get nicole you have to take over the other brothels in your area via the company meeting room shes in the one that mentions milfs in its description

Is it just the 5 that you can get? You can build up to 8 rooms. Also the screenshot shows Denise in the Bar, but when I go to mine its always empty.

Norton AntiVirus deleted the exe files as virus/malware when this game was installed.

Informal Review 0.1

Pros: Decent story, some character depth, Very Smart mechanics (Takeover mechanics are cool)

Cons: Choppy and dull animations, too many menus, and blocky number systems.

This has some good potential, but there are a few things that need to be addressed immediately.
1) Too much clicking through menus. Example; to travel you need to first go out of your room/office, then to the front of the building, then to your destination. Same thing in reverse. All of that could be reduce if you have a single travel menu.

2) Ability to skip training animations. Having a massive stockpile of Energy means that you can train multiple girls in a row. Animations are a chore, and clicking through them is also a chore after the 11th time.

3) A short tutorial/walkthrough of the "takeover" mechanics. Handhold your players through taking over some minor company. Break it down step by step. Simply dropping the system on players is overwhelming.

4) Gate your content. Stock buying system? That's late game (or simply too expensive at the start of play, balance may be needed. Remove the option, then have it appear later once player has gotten comfortable with other systems, and has money to actually use it.

Quality of Life
1) Space-out or make divisions on numbers. Seeing 2773901723 is very overwhelming. Break it up. 2 773 901 723 OR 2,773,901,723.

2) Work on character depth. The MC swings between being a straightforward business guy trying to make it, all the way to an exploitative uncaring ass who is using women to make money. Personally, I would like to see some more compassion and interaction between the MC and his girls. (you know, since they are the only thing keeping him from going broke.)

3) Statistics. How are our choices impacting things. The training affects how much the girls charge for each service, so where do we see that information? How are our choices of Targets impacting things. (And also, why do we have multiple targets to set, wouldn't that be a single target audience for the building??)

full save?

Is this the kind of brothel game where you cuck yourself or is there a choice to keep the girls for yourself?

 

[cancunlsp]

niceeeeeee I like the management games, just not enough of them and I dont have the knowledge or skill to make one myself

Keeping girls for yourself sounds like really bad for business in a brothel management game.

 

[cavebear]

how often are you planning on getting updates out?? will you have progressive saves from the git go or will we have to start from the begining every update????????

he's using renpy, so saves are there, just can't recall if renpy does autosavings or just manual savings

Norton is the virus.

Yeah well - it show the malware in it and deleted it - so I deleted the whole game. First time for all the games downloaded that it had happened.

I would like to know how to get Nicole also.

When you buy the Melon Club business or whatever it's called you unlock the option to recruit Nicole.

More like an invisibly-pregnant receptionist.
As a pregnancy "fetishist" I'm already not pleased, but since the game at least has (overly silent) sound I'll give it a chance.

I'm hoping that the dev goes back in and adds characters to a lot of these scenes. Its a good start, but does need a lot more added to it, even in the sections that are already there. Solid outline though.

 

[Loganfin]

So I just quickly played through the whole game and it was pretty meh.

99% of the game is grinding training, then spamming "Open Brothel" + going to bed for infinite money, then buying out all rival brothels.

UI does look good, but UX is pretty terrible:
- Training a single skill takes 7 clicks with the all the buttons in different places and forced waiting time between clicks (you have to to this hundreds of times)
- Moving around places also is overly complicated and requires many unnecessary clicks (though luckily you don't have to do that a lot later on)

Game length was about 5 hours - story length about 5 minutes ...and the game doesn't tell you when you've reached the end of the content.

Having unique girls, instead of stolen hentai images, is a good thing, but they all kinda have to same body type (thick, almost fat) and you don't really interact with them in any way (you just do a quick interview, then grind their stats and get a tiny bit of dialogue when they level up). Sex scenes are also just very short animation loops - though their quality is decent.

Overall I'm not impressed and feel it was just endless grind with no reward.
So far it's the worst slave/brothel management game I've played.

Could you recommend any others that you liked? I've played a few here, and this has been my favorite. A lot of them seem to either use real porn in an HTML format, or else have really low level graphics. I'd be extremely interested in any that are good.

 

[Loganfin]

I'm afraid I don't really know any good ones. There are a few that are slightly better, but it's against forum rules to name them, and I wouldn't recommend them either (they're not good).

OK, thank you. Don't want to break any rules or ask anyone one to either.

 

[orensan]

There are only 5 girls in this version.

which is not bad for a 0.1 version

 

[elmicho]

looks promising, best of luck to the creator

You are wrong here. Stock system isn't late game thing. They have different prices for stocks.
In my game one of stocks (Gulliver Group) dropped to first 1000 then 100 per stock. Easy early money.
For late game you won't be doing stocks if things remain as they are, because you will make only pennies (for the amount of time I am willing to hold auto clicker) there compared to taking over other brothels and having managers grade over 10000. (There really should be some upper limits on some values because as it is now you can go as high as you want) That's a late game, when you make billions/trillions just by going to sleep.
