Thanks for the feedback/suggestions, ill take notes.Looking good so far.
Playing with hotfix 0.31, some thoughts:

And a question: If you graduate a girl, can you still visit/contact her, do photoshoots, use her for sponsors, and such? in WTFA, you couldn't, which makes you not want to graduate them. If this isn't something currently available here, it could be used for some additional upgrades... an alumni organization, alumni photoshoots, etc., with alumni maybe sometimes making donations.
The "misunderstandings" calculation is definitely off, it will fail for the most part. I didn't bother fixing it yet since I plan on moving it to the "personality" system in the next update. As for the "free-use" talk, it probably just a balancing issue. I squeezed in a very WIP version of the "personality" system into this release and it uses it. I didn't have time to balance it yet.Talking to the mothers to lower fear or about the new policy never seems to work. Well, not quite never. I've had a mother 1x instantly go free-use on me when talking about the policy. This was a mother of a brand new girl, first time interacting with her. Maybe it is suffering from the flipped value mother photoshoots had as well?
Again balance is WIP, thanks for the note. Also remember sponsors give you a flat payment but also give the academy a weekly payment based on your relationship and contract level with them.2) Panty economics seem off. I can sell an individual panty from my inventory for more than a sponsorship pays for multiple ones. Added to that, the lewdness value gaps are big, so that it pretty much means only 1 or 2 types of panties are above 50% for sponsorships.
Thanks for that, you are right I have them the "beach" sub tag but never added any "beach" shoots. These don't require you to do a new shoot with the tag, just turn in photos with said tag. I should probably add a check when generating requests for shoot items if you can possibly fulfill them.3) Beakini Beachwear for me wants a pool shoot, a beach one, and another pool one. I think I have one pool option available currently, for a mother, which I couldn't do because 0.31. No beach shoots available at all that I'm aware of.
Seems to be working on my end, I will need to look into that.4) The timers on the sponsorship things don't seem to work properly. Those shoots in #3, including the one I accepted, have not had their timers decrease at all.
They aren't removed from your list of known sponsors, you just take a large hit to your relationship. You can even start a contract with them again if you can get their reputation high enough. There is currently no limit to how many sponsors the player can know of so it made sense to not have them get hidden.5) I called up Beakini Beachware and cancelled the sponsorship deal, to free up room for another sponsor. Picked up another sponsor. And I think by the next week, Beakini Beachware was back on my list of sponsors.
I noticed this as well, was just thinking of a good and performant way to do it.6) When selecting pictures for a photoshoot, the % by each girl is not relevant to the actual sponsorship deal. If a girl's best (maybe unassigned?) picture for the shoot is 124%, that's the % she should be showing, and the girl list should be sorted by their highest possible % for the deal.
Planned for next update, also there were no explainations for those stats yet. They are more just being tracked for use later.7) Main character could use a proper stats screen, ideally one where hovering the mouse over the various stats will pop up info on said stat. I'd like to know what compassion, the government one, greed and such do, for example. It was probably in the tutorial, but, if so, I wasn't paying attention. And not something that pops up nice and early if I start a new game either.
Will make a note to include something like this with the personality system8) When interacting with people outside of tests, it'd be nice to have some feedback as to what stats are changing. Like "Mrs Deville is slightly more corrupt." after discussing the policy with her.
Must be her step mom xD I could change this but would would mean changing all "name" checks to use an internal ID. It would good a good change, so maybe for the next update.9) Cherie Deville + AJ Applegate and Phoenix Marie + Elsa Jean don't have matching last names.
Can you elaborate? What exactly would you preview?10) It'd be nice to be able to preview a sponsorship deal, rather than have to accept it and then deny it.
Programmer brain not know big words, good suggestion though.11) I'd suggest renaming "Health" to something else, like "Tolerance" or "Fortitude". Something that seems a bit more mental toughness related, rather than physical.
Passing and expeling girls is planned for the next update.12) Would be nice to have the option to just pass a girl. You can set the number of questions requirement quite high in the options, so...
Btw, you might want to consider some sort of counter for each girl, to track how much experience they have with o/v/a sex. I.e a virgin is less likely to tolerate sexual contact, whereas a girl who's had more hotdogs through her tunnel than a baseball stadium, might react differently.Thanks for the feedback/suggestions, ill take notes.
All actions are tracked and events are tracked, so its just a matter of writing dialogue to take them into account. The personality system is designed to make this easier to expand upon.You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

Correct, unless someone releases a mod or I add more girls.Correct me if im wrong,but we currently only have 12 girls available? So getting the 20 girls cap, is pretty much useless right now?
The mod/file structure and naming is quite different but installing would be as simple as putting them in your mods folder.Does adding girls, work in the same way as it did with WTM?
I don't think it is bad per se to have them offer some contracts you can't do yet, say because you can't do photo shoots with or use as escorts the mothers yet. It's a bit of carrot, an incentive for us to work towards.Thanks for that, you are right I have them the "beach" sub tag but never added any "beach" shoots. These don't require you to do a new shoot with the tag, just turn in photos with said tag. I should probably add a check when generating requests for shoot items if you can possibly fulfill them.
This is interesting, because I'm capped at working with three sponsors, as far as I could tell (at least with 0.31). I have more on the list, but if I contact another one, they turn me down because I'm working with others. Ending my relationship with the Beach company did let me add a new 3rd sponsor to those I was working with. But then the Beach company was back and offering me stuff again, despite my having ending the sponsorship deal.They aren't removed from your list of known sponsors, you just take a large hit to your relationship.

A couple do impact things, no? At least, it appeared if I took the controlling choices (can't recall the exact name of the stat it raised), that training a girl in her home had increased values. And compassion might be lowering that?Planned for next update, also there were no explainations for those stats yet. They are more just being tracked for use later.
Basically, have it be the same as if you accept the job, in terms of choosing panties, girls, etc,, only, because you aren't committing to it, you a) can't complete unless you actually accept it and B) there's no hit to the relationship if you hit cancel the job, because you never took it.Can you elaborate? What exactly would you preview?
I was, just you've been updating like a mad manBtw I do suggest using the latest hotfix available. I am doing my best to keep them all save compatible.
Next update it will check the there are shoots with the tags before generating requests which require them(They can still be locked just they need to exist).I don't think it is bad per se to have them offer some contracts you can't do yet, say because you can't do photo shoots with or use as escorts the mothers yet. It's a bit of carrot, an incentive for us to work towards.
But this particular one stood out because I couldn't complete any of the three, due to two being pool, for which there was a single photo set with the right tag (which I couldn't do due to the mother photo shoot bug) and none at all for the beach. And it is also a case where what photos I did have were like 50%, 30%, nothing in the 80-90% range, even if it was at least a swim suit shoot.
Thanks for clarifying, there was an issue, sponsors didn't clear their "available" requests when ending contract. There was also a check to make sure their updates didn't run if you aren't in contract with them. This oversight meant the time limit on requests never ticked down. Thanks for catching this, probably won't be fixed until next update just incase my fix causes other issues.This is interesting, because I'm capped at working with three sponsors, as far as I could tell (at least with 0.31).

But then the Beach company was back and offering me stuff again, despite my having ending the sponsorship deal.
So either I'm capped at 3 companies when I shouldn't be, and in that case, there's really no reason to be able to end the sponsorship deal with a company and there's a bug that's making companies refuse to deal with you when they shouldn't. Or else, I should be capped, and ending the sponsorship deal with a company to make room to start one with another company should result in the company I stopped having dealings with not offering me tasks.

There are options you can take which raise some stats: control, greed, lust, compassion, government opinion but I didn't implement checks against them in 0.2 since it is going to be rewritten for the next update.A couple do impact things, no? At least, it appeared if I took the controlling choices (can't recall the exact name of the stat it raised), that training a girl in her home had increased values.

Ah I see, sounds like a good idea. I could probably implement something like that.Basically, have it be the same as if you accept the job, in terms of choosing panties, girls, etc,, only, because you aren't committing to it, you a) can't complete unless you actually accept it and B) there's no hit to the relationship if you hit cancel the job, because you never took it.
Basically, so if I get something like those "pool" shots, I can look at how much the photos I do have are likely to please the sponsor, without having to say, "Yes, I'll do it" and consequently lose status with them due to having no shoots they'd be happy with.
Make the check to look for tags at all the girls in the game, not just those in the class. If an obstacle can be overcome (with either getting a new girl, passing some PTA rules, or simply adjusting someone's attributes accordingly), it should not be a showstopper. What should be a showstopper is a requirement which cannot be fulfilled at all, given current girls in the game and mods.Next update it will check the there are shoots with the tags before generating requests which require them(They can still be locked just they need to exist).
Wouldn't it be better if it took the school reputation into account instead of yours? They're sponsoring the school, not you. Your reputation might come into play during contract negotiation, but it shouldn't really influence the limit.Also 3 is the sponsor cap, unless someone mods in a rule or something which increases sponsor_manager.base_contract_limit
Python:def get_contract_limit(self): return round(self.base_contract_limit + player.reputation/50)
Another fairly simple addition that would add more mod/pta potential would be different uniform packs. Right now, we can enforce a uniform. But it's more than possible to enhance that aspect, and have offshoot rules, branching from say, a catholic schoolgirl uniform, to Japanese sailor suit or even a lewd variant, there's a wide range. None of these really require all that much, as it would just mean getting a few clothing pictures etc, along with some coding for the PTA side of it.Interesting ideas.
I'm pretty certain the Dev is more interested in systems and functionality right now. I think it's going to be more the prerogative of players/modders to create character packs.1. Is there any possibility to organise a vote for "most wanted" models?
Game developer or modder could see results and... add them?

(By the way, thanks for choosing "Geisha Kyd"! That was not expected, but very pleasing)
2. In this type of game there should be "Late game" system, maybe.
When you gain high enough prestige and reputation - to "unlock" extra high level "elite" schoolgirls with best traits.
