HTML Course of Temptation [v0.7.5 EA] [Anthaum]

[DIMMADD]

Also paying your parents is kind of insane, and really stunts gameplay progression. I understand the rationale is to maintain a sense of challenge, but imo the challenge should be tied with ambitions the player may have (e.g. to buy more expensive stuff), not something artificial like that. It would be much better if you had the opportunity to rent a house, for example. Many college students work a job, simply because their parents can't support them. It would even work if you took out a loan or had to pay tuition fees and had some ability to ration your payments.

I don't really understand how you think paying your parents every week both is bad gameplay wise, and needed for gameplay.
"Many college students work a job, simply because their parents can't support them." So like in the game? I'm confused. You are paying your parents because they can't fully support you. This is stated in the introduction to the game, which by the way, is sugeested and encouraged to go through at least once.
Also, I can start the game with 1000$ (by using a specific life start thing), use up ALL 1000$ on room stuff, books, clothes, etc, and by the end of the first day, I have enough money to pay the first payment a FULL WEEK in advance.

I think next steps, reputationally, is to not treat reputation as an exclusively bad thing. You know how, if you start with a slut background, those two guys ask you for a threesome? This sort of thing, as well as people flirting with you, thinking you're easy and likely to put out, should be tied to having a slut reputation. Not just slut shaming.

Also, I've just tried starting as "School Slut" and never had two guys ask for a threesome. Are you using a mod of some sort? That's the only explaination that I can think of.
So you think the person that goes around topless and without underwear everywhere, will accept sex with anyone who asks, and goes out of their way to wear suggestive clothing won't have a reputation of being a slut who is willing to do anything? What do you expect from them?

The event they are describing does exist, I have had it on unmodded saves, so I am not sure why you have not been able to get it.

Also I think you are misreading what they said and arguing against something they never actually put forward, they are not saying the slut shaming should be removed, but that it should result in more events like the one we are discussing, where your reputation leads to new and interesting opportunities for sex, rather than just be the negative effects of rumours.
So things like more events where you are approached because of your reputation, where people proposition you for interesting or niche experiences due to knowing you are 'easy' that sort of thing, add new content to the higher slut rep stuff, rather than it purely resulting in the slut shaming events.

Hmm, how do you proc that event? It sounds like it's a start only thing.

They started by saying that "The next steps are to not treat reputation as a bad thing," and I'm arguing the case that reputation is inherently bad in its function.

There are some events once you get far enough that open up those encounters, but I do agree that there probably needs to be more.

You are paying your parents because they can't fully support you.

I dunno maybe it's just because I'm ignorant of America but this is incredibly bizarre to me. I played through the introduction but it still seems dumb and contrived. I understand parents not being able to support you but this isn't a lack of support for the player, the parents need you to support them. And yeah money isn't hard to come by when you want it but I'd rather money draining into things that at least pretend to be productive rather than vanishing every week for a nebulous reason. As was said, it's an artificial deflationary measure.

And yeah I agree that slut reputation should more often result in or at least have more variety of good events. Exhibition is far more generous in this regard than being a slut is.

Just started a new game to reread the section about payment and stuff. Heres what it says.
I will admit that the line "We were hoping not to have to do this, but even with your loan, it's not quite going to cover the cost of staying on campus and everything," can be worded better, but it's basically saying that the player got a school grant (player loan), but it wasn't enough to pay for the entire college fund. So your parents are taking out a loan to help, in the process, they want you to reinburse them what they are paying. Also, if you get great grades, the amount you have to pay becomes less. Also, a grant typically doesn't have to be paid back, but it's school specific. Could also mean like a 529 or ESA, which is a college fund thing that can be set up to help pay for college specific expenses. I don't know.
I don't know where you are at, but I haven't gone to college and learned this though highschool teaching. In America, I'm unsure of the legalities of people under the age of 18 taking out their own loans, but I'd imagine that the parent/legal guardian would need to set it up in the persons name.

I mean, you can make the characters different skin colours, but apart from having a monolid and a lot of weird fusion names (like Japanese firstname but random Anglophone surname) its kind of implied that there are Asian people in the game.

I'm not suggesting race play, but it would at least be nice to acknowledge people based on ethnicity, etc.

One potential thing I would add is religiousness and seducing religious girls more than raceplay.

Who wouldn't want to chase and seduce a Hijabi girl or a super Christian girl?

"Many college students work a job, simply because their parents can't support them." So like in the game? I'm confused.

I don't think it's needed for the gameplay. I understand the rationale of the developer in including it --to maintain a scaling difficulty. but I think it should be removed and replaced with something that a) makes more narrative sense, b) is less strict than increasing weekly payments and c) allows you some leeway to decide how to save and make payments. Your parents not being able to support you does NOT mean you make payments to them to make payments to someone else down the line. It just means you have to make money, save and make those payments yourself. Also, any payments you do have to make, to the university or to a landlord, are not going to increase to sustain a predictable difficulty curve. I think it would be better to leave it to the player to decide how and when to repay their tuition fees, whether to rent or not etc. You could even tie scholarship money to the player's GPA, allowing players to decide whether they prefer to prioritize their lessons or work to cover their tuition fees.

Also, I've just tried starting as "School Slut" and never had two guys ask for a threesome. Are you using a mod of some sort? That's the only explaination that I can think of.

It is a random event that may trigger when you have the school slut background during the first few weeks of gameplay (as far as I understand), when you're entering your dorm house. I don't play with mods. Someone will approach you, mention your background, and suggest you help his friend lose his virginity. If you agree, you get a scripted threesome scene where his friend fucks you while you suck him off.

So you think the person that goes around topless and without underwear everywhere, will accept sex with anyone who asks, and goes out of their way to wear suggestive clothing won't have a reputation of being a slut who is willing to do anything? What do you expect from them?

I want you to reread the part of my post that you're quoting. I'm saying that having this reputation should not only be tied with slut shaming events, it should also be tied with people hitting on you (because they think you're especially easy) and offers for sexual encounters that are less tame (e.g. organising threesomes etc). This is literally what happens IRL when someone has the reputation that they are DTF.

Exactly, yeah. The valence of the events could even be ambiguous, I'm not talking about something celebratory or entirely positive (though such events could be included as well. E.g. polies hitting on people they think will be receptive to their lifestyle. This could also be used to flesh out NPCs with actual opinions. I once seduced the religious cheerleader into a poly relationship. You shouldn't be able to grind peoples' foundational beliefs away like this). I mean, people who have that reputation are often approaced by people who want to fuck them, and think they are likely to be able to, even though they don't respect them. That's an ambivalent situation if you also want to have sex with them. And people definitely think that if you're more sexual you're more willing to do more things that they may not be able to do with the average person, e.g. rougher sex, Ds stuff etc. Someone slutty may not even be into that sort of thing, but other people associate promiscuity with openness to try harder stuff anyway. In many ways, the reputation system can be a gateway to a number of events that entail actual gameplay, not just the, like, two narrative events where people call you out or you overheard them talking about you.

Another update that doesn't focus on sexual content...

Yes, but people should realize that this is not first and foremost a porn game. Sex is definitely one of the two pillars of the game, but the college simulator aspect is as important as the sex. It's not surprising that the users on this board are more interested in the porn-y parts of the game, but it's different for the patreon subscribers.

So I can only recommend that people should either make their peace with that fact (by checking every 6 months perhaps?), or drop this game. This is not to hate or bash the people who are disappointed with the updates, but just pointing out the reality of the situation. I'm not entirely happy with this myself.

I understand what you're saying here, and I'm one of the people that's actually very interested in the simulation aspects, but I don't really think it's true that it's not primarily a porn game. A lot of the stuff in it is completely unbelievable unless you come into it taking porn logic for granted. E.g. the cheerleader stuff, the greek house sex games, the dares etc. I don't think it's written to provide remotely realistic contexts for most of its sexual content. In any case, the sex mechanics and encounters are good candidates for deepened simulation as well. I don't think simulation and sex aspects are two distinct pillars.

 

[SafeForSure]

Are we able to progress the best friend story in the Greek house in the new update now or is that still bugged?

College for the most part is boring so the sex stuff is added to add some excitement to the mix.

is there any way to get rid of sex toys? The added "Adjust Toys" prompt is annoying me

I honestly never thought about it. Can you donate them to the thrift store?

 

[ray3dave]

Actually I don't get the complaints here. The devs follow a plan that they keep explaining with each update. And of course everybody enjoying this game wants his/her/its favourite storyline deepened. Me too! Still the development makes sense and is steady and reliable for quite some time.
Most of all I would - at the moment -

Spoiler: wish

You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

And this is not going to happen in 2026. Obviously. But other things will enter the game with each monthly update, some will like it more others less. I don't know what we are trying to discuss here.

 

[dongus01]

nope. That was my first thought as well, and second was gifting them to someone but that doesn't work either

If you open your character's inventory, it lists the sex toys you own, and there should be an option to individually hide them during encounters. I've never used it though so idk how exactly it works, but I assume if you hide all of them, then the button to adjust toys in an encounter should also vanish since there's not actually any toys available for you to play with.
