RPGM Dorm Janitor's Revenge [Demo v0.5] [Rated Sim]
Give back my hour of life !
Nothing happen. Dont know what to do. My character move so slowly even with the dash one and after the first night the "dash on" dont work anymore, so i just walk at an even slower path... And since there is only 2 save slots i'm forced to crash the game and restart the first day ! Still dont know what to do, spent an hour trying to interact with every corners of map and every items i can find in the game at snail path and nothing happen. Please kill me.
Wtf is wrong with game devs nowadays ? They just dont want people to have fun ? There is so much games coming with game mechanics that have no other purpose than making player lose time. Is this because of AAA/gacha games that try to make you spend money to avoid the time sinks ? Why ?

How old are you btw? It's meant to be an adult game and not too adult to be over 60. I'm not giving anymore hints within the game than it has already (0.4.4). You probably haven't played a lot of rpg maker games or any older games in general to say it's more of a grind nowadays and it clearly shows.
For the dash, it's literally mentioned in the Help option first-page why it's disabled (0.4.4). And if you expected the entire game to happen day-one, then again, this isn't for you!
You deliberately crashed the game because there are no save slots? What are you even trying to say?
Other than that, nothing else you mentioned could possibly help me improve. I have received a lot of detailed reports from actual players that I'm working on to critically improve the game.
You should've dropped this game after 5min mark. It's on you to have played for hours and still couldn't figure out what's going over your head. This is a free demo, drop it after 5 mins if you don't like it.
One common problem in building is that free customers give terrible and often abusive advice

The game looks very promising but it is grindy and tedious.
What I think can be changed for better:
1) Allow player to run without drinking coffee. If you want to add difficulty, just reduce daily income a little, nobody would want to grind same route every day at the snail's speed. Planting a cam is pretty much impossible without coffee anyway.
Or make it so you can buy some kind of coffee machine, or daily coffee delivery, or whatever, that allows you to run right after you woke up (without the need to press buttons, just have a wake-up text "you woke up, you've drunk a cup, you can run now").
2) Don't make people run to the bathroom every single night. Make it so the cam is more expensive but can live for days. Running there is not hard, it is tedious.
3) Make more events for the day cleaning. Right now there's literally nothing happening 80% of the days, and the events that happen are repetitive. I would take more of this events over other locations expansions.
And some personal preference, I hope there would be a route where player's revenge fails or doesn't happen and he is dominated without turntables.

There are a handful of endings planned and in the works. There might be something similar to this.
I had considered it like that but it's already been developed along with a lot of other mechanics. Changing it now will be breaking a lot of those things. I will see if there's a way to do it in another way...
Yes, some are in the works. But cleaning will become an occasional (possibly non-existent) thing after some time.
As for your other points, we have discussed most of those here way back. The 0.4.4 demo might need a few more hints which should make some of those concerns totally irrelevant. I had designed it to exactly like what will be in the full game so it could be a bit misleading. There are intentional misleading factors as it will feature mysteries and puzzles, and it will reward players for cracking them. Like cracking Elize's safe in her room.
As for now, just play the demo very casually. No need to do everything every day!
I'm working on perfecting it. I have been changing and adding a handful of things since the last update based on critics.
And there will be a lot more H-content in the future for sure!
I don't have a Patreon up yet. I'm researching Steam policies regarding it. I might try adding it in the next update...
I have 1.2To of rpg maker games, been using rpg maker since like 2010.
Unlike what you say most old games aren't artificially grindy. Also you can be grindy, but you need a good pathing. And people have been criticizing grindy rpgm like games since the 90s on the internet. This is not at all a new criticism in the world of rpgm video games.
And you should back off your sense of superiority. I'm in my thirties, and if I don't want to spend my life grinding amateur goon games, I can voice my concerns. Btw, it's old people that have time on their hands, not young people.
And you dont see the problem here ?
How do you explore if you punish the player from moving around ? Player will choose not to explore, because it take too much time to move around.
Since it take so long to do anything. Like at least 20minutes to slowly crawl around to interact with everything and read every bit of informations. Yeah, i expect something to happen...
Like i say.
I was forced to crash the game, because when day 2 came, the "dash option" (which was on during day one) crashed and the character move at and even slower path than during day 1. And you have very limited saves, so i didn't used them on day one, meaning i was forced to crash the game to restart it with the dash option on again.
Most of your posts are about justifying your choices regarding making the game tedious and grindy from what i've seen. Not sure explaining to potential customers that tedious and grindy mechanics are good will help.
Also i encountered a bug. When clicking on the chair in the kitchen day 1, i could "place a dildo on say chair - hide and wait", but nothing happened.
Also. Not sure if being condescending to potential customer will help. Again, it go back to the devs/companies tropes and attitude about video games nowadays like i say in my previous post. I mean, your easy difficulty text lmao. Dont tell me you aren't kind of full of yourself to a certain level ("they dont want to play as i want so they are weak").
Maybe you find me harsh. But, i dont want you to fail or anything. I just explain, as someone who played countless of those games, that even me, find things to be over the top regarding the slow pathing and limitations you artificially push on the players. And yes, after years of going through multiples of grindy rpgm games, maybe my patience and benignity have dwindled for those kind of things. But again. Lot of people are saying you the same things here.
Overall you could let the players use the full dash in easy mod and have more saves. Most people consume those goon games as slop and wont stay for the story/gameplay if the "edging" is not possible because game is too slow/tedious.
Do whatever you want in the end, this is your game and your vision. And i dont want you to feel bad about your work because some rando like me, on a gooner forum, criticizes some aspect of your game. But know that forced grinding is not appreciated by lot of players.
Anyways, hope you gonna make it.
I tried to find the source by my own, but i failed. BTW, amazing game - looks like It has a good future

femdom game with 500 tags and all elements... but without footjob tag or foot/sock-dom content? i am curious about this before try game
AI CG, AI voice acting from the Boss, and the dev's not accepting that their gameplay design isn't good. Some of the responses they give even feel like AI. Idk what to tell you. You're making a porn game, not a dorm janitor simulator. Like wtf are you doing. If you want to just snag money by doing no work and having AI try to figure it all out for you, you're better off panhandling on the streets.

I thought I finally found some action with Elize after you blackmail her for the umpteenth time but I just got stuck in dialogue with no way out.
Basically you can let her piss in you mouth and return to the start of the conversation or you can have her piss in you face and get three options that all lead to the start of the conversation, without images, about sums up this game.
