RPGM Abandoned College Life [v0.3.9a] [MikeMasters]

[Qleaf]

damn you're fast.. I deleted just after I posted, when I caught that it was random on the following day.
talk talk were positive, but the 3rd time pissed her off. which kinda made sense, but i see that IRL logic was not applied in this case. It's random, so like you said "save" before talking, because you never know when it will be neg

Hehehe, I was online when you posted it, and I like to respond to people as fast as I can. There are times where I get negative several times in a row. Making me feeling like the most unlucky person in the world. At least this is only narrowed down do "Random talk", previously skill check were a nightmare, where you had to reload every single time when you fail... but thanks to the auto-save feature just before the skill check, it saved lots and lots of time... especially for me.

after playing two more days of a lot of repetition. that scores no points with the ladies... i have to agree that the walkthrough might cause the dev some undue unhappy players.

at this stage, sitting next to kira doesn't score you points, but it costs you a knowledge point paying attention to her rather than the teacher. sit somewhere else, increase knowledge, since you get nothing from sitting with her at this point.

also, trying to fatten her up with cake and cookies, is a waste of $10 when it;s not getting you in her panties yet

As I said before, lots of actions I placed in the walkthrough is repeated and unnecessary for the current content as there is no point in trying to get any relationship points beyond reaching "friends". I'll create another version of the guide to remove the optional parts and you'll still be able to get all the scenes I covered previously.

If you press 'T' key, you can choose between 'Quick save' and 'Wait for 1 hour'.

Holy crap! I just knew about this! No more heading to watch TV/Using PC!!!!! unless there are feature scenes making them worth seeing. Thanks!

I made it so it minimizes the travels and eliminated the dependency on "Random Topic" talk.

Edit: Fixed link, for unkown reason it pointed to main maige. Now it shows the bug post

I hit that in 0.4.b while working out after fail, luckily is autosaved place. BUT, if it fails and reloads (not null/quit/load) to try again, the images mess up. Just in the gym. Still can't get the massage to open. And with so little to do I feel like a stalker...

Did you start a new game from the start or did you load a previous version save file?

I restarted as I knew he is filling in holes. I have commented with him on the game since 0.2

Does it happen every time or just once? It's the same mechanic is in v0.0.4. It never happened before though. If you can provide save file right before it happens, that would be very helpful.

It happened a couple times, without freezing (null screen). It blinks, resets, then shows Jane with his text, or movement map. If it takes 2 or 3 tries to finish workout. Only the gym does that. The try again in library seems fine.
It is the book in library repeating 3 or 4 times with different books. I hope there are a lot of titles.
Though it is sandbox, the limits on levels is the true end of play, otherwise you can play to game day 1000, but only have a week or two of growth. Yes, right after I commented on stuck in room with no Jane time, it jumped to the action.
Still, the weekend is an issue, and needs to be addressed for future growth. If every day plays like a week day, it loses content, like spending a day with Joan and not losing points for not going to class because even though it's Sunday, it still has class.

If I understand you right - what you see is actually several failed attempts in the row. (Sometimes you can actually see the game assets in the backround, just ignore it). When you reload autosave, it reloads right when the check is positioned and if you fail again, you get the reload option again. I can position the autosave before the 'Skill check' message, but it would only prolonged your attempts to succeed. The volume number it the book title is progressively increasing, so there is practically infinite number of books. The issue of repeating event is taken care of, I've responded on your patreon comment. And I have plans for weekends, It's just the matter of prioritizing.

This profitable, and exciting new era of releasing incomplete games throws some obstacles at the developers that need to be overcome. When I worked in the porn industry, I got hate mail from buyers complaining that the cover art, wasn't in the movie. Posing for the cover shoot, was sometimes different from the video shoot, and often on a completely different set, with different wardrobe. It was a legitimate complaint.... customer didn't get what they paid for, when they purchased the dvd based on the cover art... that scene was not in the movie. Today, videographer and photographer, are better coordinated to get things right, so customers don't have that complaint. Porn customers aren't nearly as... demanding, as gamers. If the "cover art" shows 5 girls, and the player can't fuck 4 of them, you (the dev) can expect those blueballs knocking on your door demanding a refund, even tho the game was free, because "their time is valuable"
Some devs have this somewhat under control by making things very clear in the changelog. New character (NO sex scenes yet) when players complain, you are justified by saying "can't say I didn't warn you" Their temper fades fast, in light of "didn't read" and not wanting to appear stupid. As always, this (my) post is not aimed at one dev, but advice for all devs. No problem showing "these girls will be in the completed game" even if you later change your mind, or never get around to some of them, as long as you are clear about it, every step of the way.

When the MC has a 2 foot cock, I would think that the bulge in his pants would have a greater impact of percentages, when talking to college girls. Mine is half as big, and I can talk about computers or arduino, and girls just bat their eyelashes, they don't get mad. Failing at taking pics of the lesbian in the shower, sure, but a million restarts due to conversations is a little extreme. In the early development stage, you catch more flies with honey than you do with vinegar. An option for Hard mode / easy mode pleases the maximum audience, and keeps more people playing your game. Hard mode only, will limit your fans. If you opt to go with hard mode, bring it, in 0.8 after more fans are hooked on the game, and willing to suffer the grind for their waifu. best wishes, Mike and keep up the good work.

very interesting game Mikemasters! i see a good chunk of potential (especially with the NavAPP on phone that basically allows you to teleport anywhere on map - a welcome feature from the hardcore grind of going from one end of the map to another, then back again - I'm looking at you Incest Story 1!)

plus, Kara seems real cute, open for affection, and total girlfriend material. for future releases I plan to really focus on her.

the headmistress scene seemed out of place for a game that's designed for the long haul/slow burn (muscle skills, spy skills, talking skills, friendship skills all imply a bit of grind to get leveled up to advance with a female character in the future).

keep up the great work and I look forward to each release!

Thank you for this. This is very interesting opinion and I am taking notes. I hope I didn't make the mistake to promise something that isn't there, if so, then I apologize. Sometimes I'm so excited, I may have shared something that is just a concept, but I say it in a way someone can interpret it, as it's in the game already. That's how I roll .
About the conversations - I'm thinking about removing the negative outcome altogether and leaving only the positive and neutral ones. It is a filler anyway.

Thank you for your kind words. Kara is the very first character I've created, ever. She deserves the extra attention and I don't want to screw her story. The headmistress scene? Yeah... about that... Its purpose was only to give the player some action. It's totally avoidable, if you choose different option in conversation (just once is enough). Next time It'll be much harder though.

that mostly related to the previous walkthrough leading a dead-end path, and not the game itself. problem solved
as for Kara route being incomplete, a more positive spin would be less cold. boasting of her highly anticipated future in the game. virginity a rarity on campuses these days, surly worth six month of courtship. twas not my intent to defile her virtue, with my brash and crass comments. I would rather give her salads, and whole foods, than stuffing her with cake.

the headmistress scene seemed out of place for a game that's designed for the long haul/slow burn

I think the same way as atlas114 on this, when I saw that scene I literally went like "WHAT THE HECK!!!...". I mean, having a handjob/blowjob with cum swallowing from the headmistress, which is the top authority role in a college institute, right after they first met? Huh... Well you created a motive and a context for that to happen, but I think it doesn't make sense, it's not plausible and it's too rushed and I have to admit that it was a thing that turned me off a bit, though it did not prevented me from playing the rest of it. But I do want to fuck the headmistress, .

But besides that this is a very promising project, with the expectation of having a lot of choices and freedom given to the player, even though there are few of them right now (last version I played was 0.0.3, so I don't know about now).

Have I ever fantasized about schoolgirls and teachers? Of course, especially teachers, and that’s what I’m mostly looking for. I hope we get the possibility to hook up and have some action with Miss Townsley and many more female sexy teachers that eventually will make a presence in the game.
I just hope, if it will happen, that you will conduct and build up those relations in a more natural and believable way than turning it into a stereotyped and overused porn set up where you are in detention or have to get a grade raise and, just after a few talking sentences, they fuck each other like crazy animals in the middle of the classroom. I hope you can expend those relations beyond the classroom, even beyond college grounds, that would be really refreshing. I believe it’s not that easy to create plausible circumstances that can "throw cupid’s bows and charm" over a kind of strict and distant relation between a student and teacher, but I think it could be really challenging for both you to come up with good ideas on how to make it happen, and the player to try to trigger those events. And most of all, it would be really fun and exciting to make the main character irresistible to the point where even teachers will not be able to resist him, .

On a final note I want to say to you to always keep your determination, spirit and ambition up. Even if at this stage you’re still not having perhaps the number of patrons and income you would wish, prove yourself and to others that you are serious and committed and things will thrive.

Good luck and I wish you achive your goals, MikeMasters.

P.S. - Sorry for the wall of text and my not so good English writing skills.

yea having already played through v0.04 the slow burn and "courtship" of Kara makes the most sense as I get the perspective that she is very introverted, shy, and likely has never had a BF before; or maybe has and he wasn't good to her- hence her initial distrust and shyness when you showed up out of the blue. it then makes sense from that standpoint that every little thing you do for her (bring her food, sweets, tutoring) leads her to trust you more and realize that not all men are so bad.

at the same time you can't rush the path with Kara because it's implied you were so involved with studies that MC had no time to socialize. so there's an angle for an awkwardness factor and opportunity for some romantic like comedy as you figure things out with Kara. i see huge potential if you go the dating route with Kara and can think of some further suggestions as your game progresses.

given how hard it is to render code and write I hope there aren't too many characters added or planned in the future that may complicate things.
