Grindy is doing the same thing over and over without a reward, here you get 150 different hypno videos edited in various programs.
I mean those are great, I don't mind them at all. They add a lot of mood and atmosphere to the scenes. But you're not there to see the hypno vids (at least I'm not). You're there to see the characters develop. That's why you're playing a game and not just watching porn.

To be more specific, the parts that really annoyed me were for example when you're corrupting Miranda's sister (and later, mother) and you replay the same scene like 30 times, incrementally adding something new to the end every time. Like, okay, I'll show you the dildos. Now we touch the dildos. Now I lick the dildo. Now you lick the dildo. And so forth. I wouldn't even mind it if I could skip to that part faster. But now there's like 12 tasks to do inbetween every Miranda's sister/mother scene, which just adds tedium. Worse, if I'm doing that once a week (like that part when you're doing nothing new but visiting the therapist once a week) that's even MORE tedium added inbetween the actual progress.

It wouldn't be so bad if you knew what you had to do to progress, but that's not overly obvious all of the time, so you're sort of forced to recheck some scenes now and again to make sure you're not missing something. A "quest journal" would help immensely with the gameplay, I believe.

Also there's something to be said for automating parts that are repetitive. Like after the first 20 or so times you wake up, take a shower and apply make-up, I really don't need to see those scenes again. Just show me something if there's something new. Otherwise move on to the actual new stuff. Why are we, after the first few days, still even bothering with buying makeup? It doesn't add anything to the gameplay once you're past the point of being broke.

It gets a bit grindy and repetitive is all I'm saying. Your choice as the dev though. Just giving my opinion and advice on how to craft a more rewarding gaming experience. Take it or leave it.

Well, this is my style. I don't want to make 'another same html game with gifs' I'm mixing techniques, 3D, animations, video filters, distortions. I never know what I'll discover next. Not everyone likes but one star reviews are funny because that means this is worst game here. I have half thousand patrons. Let's be serious :cautious:

Shrug I haven't even reviewed your game dude. Just giving feedback. Not here to convince anyone.

stop crying, this is in other games too (Girl life, SlutEd, X-Change and hundred others)
and even if you're right, one star rating is a fucking joke :cautious: you're just mean, that's all
I'm a former patron of yours, and current supporter of X-Change. To compare what X-Change does versus CI and CL is laughable. In X-Change, you have outfits to chose from sure. But you just set it as a favorite, and you will wear it when applicable. The pills change your gameplay significantly between being male and female, so it warrants the occasional pill-popping. Not to mention that the things that Aphrodite has been able to pull off in HTML is incredible, not to mention the character consistency in different scenes, the minigames, etc.

Girl-Life is a whole different animal in an entirely different engine with multiple people working on it, so it's not fair to compare yours and theirs. It would be fair to compare your games to Clean Slate, because while yes it's still in QSP it's also a one person team. Despite its flaws and bugs, it does have a lot of convenience for the player to minimize clicks. You can what to do when you wake up (ie: shower, eat, makeup, etc) and go to bed (brush teeth, change, etc). That eliminates a lot of unnecessary clicks from the game. Fresh Starts I believe has this same feature, and it's also done in HTML.

In CL and CI... you have none of what X-Change brings to the table. You are expected to shower and put on make-up twice daily, you are expected to (even at extreme corruption) grind for the real lewd scenes, you can go weeks in-game without anything new happening.

People are asking you to reduce the grind because they want to enjoy your game. You are talented with video-editing to be sure, but I don't wanna spend an hour just trying to get a new scene. I unsubbed because of the grind. It was around the time in CL that you had to renovate your new office, and the progress meter only went up like 2-3% maybe each time you did it. That's 50 clicks minimum because sometimes oldboy just wouldn't give you progress.

It's not like people are saying "Haha bad dev is stinky" or "lmao bad game, dev wuh happen" they're offering actual constructive criticism. Like trust, you have one of the tamest comment sections in F95 lmao

Thanks for your reply, as I remember in X-change you have shower/housework/gym, not too much, most of the game is in middle of the day and after that bar only. I prefer a system with more random events.

okay, if one star reviews is constructive criticism :unsure:

it's funny because I have little input in this game :cool:

Is it possible for Lily to stay Lily with the small boobs and still become a slut/whore? I prefer girls with small to flat chested.

Well the gym is purely optional, the housework can lead to an event chain if you keep refusing to do it (which eventually takes cleaning completely out of the gameplay loop, won't spoil it though), and showering is also an optional thing.

There are random events, they're just few and far between. Which isn't a good or bad thing in my opinion, because that seems like personal preference.
okay, if one star reviews is constructive criticism :unsure:
Just because it's negative doesn't make it bad. If every artist/developer/writer was only ever told their works were amazing with zero flaws... we would have a lot more Star Wars The Last Jedis running around.

I don't understand what you mean, as in you haven't played much of Clean Slate or?

Thanks for the reply, but like I said. People do want this game to be enjoyable, I want this game to be enjoyable. But in a game where the gameplay is mostly just advancing through the story, grinding more story by reading the previous paragraph again and again is exhausting.

I made some videos for this game.

Let me tell you one thing, X-Change is cool, it grew very fast, but there's not much space for changes here. I've seen this many times, the game slows down (maybe even now) and eventually goes to ’on hold’. I have slow and steady growth and can expand games a lot (x2 or x3).

But in a game where the gameplay is mostly just advancing through the story, grinding more story by reading the previous paragraph again and again is exhausting.
Got it. That's why I added new events in Laptop. I will add some more. You have several paths there with other characters.

Try "Crucial Investigation" then ;)

What is the highest level that can be attained in the latest version? I'm currently sitting at level 27, and wasn't sure if there was something more needed to advance further.

Yes, lv. 27 is max

This starts out good, with a fine mix of interactions, after 250-350 days, it kinda got boring for me, i couldnt really see any progress from here and forward, but up to there its fine
Thx for the game :cool:
You're welcome. I added some cool transformations from lv.17 (laptop-new office) to make it less boring. You can send me the save file if you want.

Upcoming updates will have some cool animations and surprises ;)

I like how much of the content is girl/girl, shame that it isn't all that way, don't think I've ever seen a purely lesbian bimbo corruption game before. Her starting out straight, then being brainwashed into girl/girl by the girls at the clinic and the therapist, then going on to corrupt all her friends is great. I seem to be stuck at level 9 though, nothing I do makes it advance to level 10.
