I agreed on this a while ago, the pace of EP1 was actually perfect but EP2 is not good in that regard, DecentMonkey added way too much unecessary grind and low quality "management" meaning doing forced repetive tasks in order to progress.Yeah, way better this "Cleaning The House Simulator" than any "get-the-porn-immediately". This is real quality in game design. To force the player to clean the house again and again for hours during the gameplay and to see again and again the same scenes in order of getting a point of any random stat is just the way a clever dev builds sexual tension and eroticism. Or maybe the way a "clever" dev milks the patrons?
True, it is like night and day when you compare chapter 1 and 2.I agreed on this a while ago, the pace of EP1 was actually perfect but EP2 is not good in that regard, DecentMonkey added way too much unecessary grind and low quality "management" meaning doing forced repetive tasks in order to progress.
I still enjoy the game because the quality is very on point. But the game could be just excellent if the pace of EP1 would have been keeped for EP2, there is nothing to justify spending hours clicking the same stuff over and over like an idiot just to have acces to the rest of the story.
THIS. IS. NOT. GAMEPLAY.
The name for curruption is "corruption". You just set a number between 0 and 1000.Can anyone provide a savegame with at least 90 corruption?
My saves don't work and grinding everything again from scratch is not that motivating. Tried the online save-editor and renpy-saveeditor, but no idea, how exactly the name is for corruption.
From my posts you can see that I do not call it "grind" but a "Clickfest". To prove my point I started counting the clicks for the daily routine. With the pretty-many-clicks-panty-stuff routine done (pantiless Maid-routine without showering or taking a pee) it takes 9 Clicks to start with cleaning, a normal cleaning routine takes about 32 Clicks, checking Bardies PC adds 6 Clicks and changing into the whore outfit adds 8 Clicks (so far boring everyday routine takes 55 pointless clicks, there should be an option for skipping that stuff). Then you go to the Poor area doing your daily routine showing off at the pole, if you opened all options each guy takes about 100 Clicks to go through all options getting maximum corruption points, your daily fix are three customers, which makes another 300 Clicks you repeat day by day by day by day without getting anywhere storywise. Then follows the daily waitressing at the Shiny Hole which takes about 80 Clicks without much happening or worth mentioning at all.Too much boring grinding common... we miss ep1 playstyle
The story is fun to play but there are tons of useless clicks which are very annoying. Some of them can be easily removed and as you say, especially the ones which are in the daily routine.From my posts you can see that I do not call it "grind" but a "Clickfest".

That makes about 435 pointless Clicks as a daily routine apart from the stuff you can do to advance the story.
I stick to the game, because I love the story and the art. And whenever you finally advance in the story and get new scenes they are great rewards, but all that clicking / grinding is just insane.
And I don't agree that it is about a slow and skilled built up, it is just repetitious.
If you want to experience a slow and skilled built up play Project Sage.
I really want that game to reduce the daily repetitious clicks which serve for nothing, once you unlocked the content for the first time. It would be great.
