Really not a fan of the Arcade update. The progress is super grindy and not very fun to be honest.
Unfortunately, I have to agree. The improvement in the fit and polish of the scene appearance-wise is without doubt enjoyable, but not as enjoyable on repeat. I've been thinking about it a bit to come up with constructive ideas.
First, when the scene transitions from the top down to the street perspective, we see Noemi peering around waiting for someone to notice here - this does not fit the context of the event, she has already wandered around and walked up to someone. If this version of the street view is going to match the context of the event, then we need to have Noemi not moving up to people, but to spots on the map where people can see her and let her camp there. I'm not sure if it would be better for her to camp at the spot for only one event, or to keep going at that same spot, perhaps building a crowd if too many sexy things happen which force her to find a new spot? Also, this opens the possibility of some spots being worse than others, perhaps too close to an ally that she might get pulled into?
Second, in the previous iteration, the grabby patrons could successfully be rude and Noemi just had to deal with it. I think the response has gone too far the other way, now Noemi decides if they are allowed to be "successfully" rude. I suggest that it be setup to random chance, A-If they are going to grope, then B, are they going to go for boobs or butt then C- does she notice it in-time to stop it and D-is she lustful enough to not care. Perhaps even E-is she lustful enough to take it up a notch and grope back? All five points can be scripted without input. If folks want to see a specific scenario, maybe give them that in the gallery?
Third, I know that creating variations in scripted scenes can be both labor intensive and expensive but in repeatable scenes like this, it really is a huge factor in replay-ability and to reduce the feeling of grind. If you are looking for suggested content to add in, feel free to use any, some or none of the following:
a) Girl on girl harassment - teenage girls can be cruel and specialize in messing with reputation - setup a scene where a group of girls comes to pose with Noemi but are actually setting her up to be bullied and embarrassed. I'm thinking forced exposure, spanking or maybe even forced to orgasm if LST is high enough.
b) Unexpected perv - Noemi is watching for passersby and sees younger boys like the ones in the construction yard (maybe even the same ones?)- she walks to them expecting an easy sell to get them to the arcade but they turn the tables on her, while one poses with her and one holds the camera, the 3rd goes behind and gropes or pulls down her clothes or something else sexually mischievous.
c) Unexpected perv 2 - Noemi sees a girl with a game logo on her shirt and goes up to sell the arcade to her but gets surprised when the girl has a crush on the character she is dressed as and ends up flirting and touching a lot. If high enough LST, Noemi touches and kisses back?
d) Running away from pervs - this is more of a mini-game within a mini-game. Noemi has picked a spot to watch for customers and instead sees someone who has locked eyes on her with a pervy grin. She then decides to move to another spot so she has to run to the other end of the boardwalk to escape, if she gets caught we see a scene similar to the train molester setups. Maybe even sex if her LST is either too high or rape if her AP is too low.
Fourth: This is stepping away from the outdoor cosplay scene - have you considered doing cosplay indoors at Arcade while doing the support job and variations on the actions already happening there?
