Not sure if this is still relevant to anyone but regarding the resolution not changing in settings. I checked the registry posts and it does indeed change. I changed the also changed the default for good measure. Didn't see a post for the refresh rate but it's probably in there. Anyways, the menu seems to be wrong but it looks like it actually saves your settings.

A very nice game with a compelling story, congratulations.
One criticism, time management, too many times it takes too long to do one thing (for example check if they have worked well) and you have to wait the next day (or worse the next week) to finish another quest.

Well you can always roll back if that happens. Also use it if you check someone's work and you don't receive the desired outcome.

Hachigames … From what I’ve seem of this thread you are pretty active here … so I “quoted” you and deleted most of your response because I am using the quote to tag you and the quoted reply text is irrelevant… I think there is some way to tag you like u/Hachigames or something but don’t know it …. Anyway….

I wanted to high-five you on your game … keep up the great work!!
I also left a rating & comments on the game overall … with more details and a possible suggestion/improvement. Specifically with regards to the “sandbox” element of the game…I realize this ALL is a work in progress (WiP) but was curious if you considered working in the suggestion I made in my review.
Specifically (in addition to the gallery (that was recently added/improved)) to make an in game pathway to “replay” a girls sex scenes via visits to the girls room … I don’t know the level of work this suggestion would take to implement…but based off my limited code knowledge… it would seem to be limited to just the menu in each girls room because you would just be creating an easy path to revisit X scene (which is work you already have done) …
so the flow logic would be like ….
select girls room +
select sex/bondage type and then replay that scene …
granted not every girl would have every option(yet)
bj,sex,bondage 1-2-3 , anal, group sex 1-2-3.
But since you are just creating an access path to work you have already created it shouldn’t be lots and lots of work.

Granted “most” of this is somewhat available via the menu to the gallery and sorting … but to me the current navigation is extra cumbersome… the thumbnails there are hit and miss within my memory …

I forget the context of the thumbnail as to what each gallery item is

Is this gallery item a “story” replay
Is it the “bj scene”?
Or the “bondage 2” scene

Where as if it was menu’d into an “in room” visit
choose girl(room)>choose activity(bj,sex1,sex2,bondage1,bondage2,anal,group sex 1)>enjoy the sandbox replay.
It would be much simpler navigation wise and I wouldn’t grind my brain gears trying to decipher the galley thumbnail & my memory from the thumbnail.

Now I realize that the various girls menus will be greater or lesser …
Alice probably would have the biggest menu (currently) … and others would have very thin choices (like none) but as you continue developing the game I imagine each girls menu would build.

anyway … thanks for reading … I imagine that you might have this or something like this in your plans … but if not I wanted to mention it because it’s a worthwhile inclusion to your great game.

Thank you for your suggestions. I'll definitely have to sort out the gallery sorting a bit better. What worked well at first became a bit overwhelmed with the amount of scenes. I'm not yet sure what exactly I'll do to make it easier to find the scenes you want to watch in the gallery but I'll definitely take your suggestion into consideration.

Hey you do whatever YOU think best …

I just tried to convey (however poorly) how I’ve seen it done (somewhat) in other good games Treasure of Nadia has a sort by types (bj,sex,group anal) and Runey’s Harem Hotel has the sandbox “in room” … but HH the scenes were created for “in room“ and ToN has the type sorting in their version of a gallery … granted their gallery is twice as cumbersome as yours to access (in numerous different ways)

I mostly mentioned it because other than Scarlet most of the girls rooms have little to no interaction/content but they are in existence in game and the girls come and go from their rooms… I always felt that you had something planned for it whether it was “visit” mechanic or as an access portal to X girl replay.

Also if all your created “sexy time” scenes were accessed via girls room portal your gallery would be in game and the current gallery could be “everything else” granted I don’t think it would be a ”gallery” anymore more of a recap zone.

I add myself too, although I am aware that it would mean more work, but getting the chance to visit the girls' rooms to have sex could avoid seeing bdsm only as a punitive aspect. Instead of "she was wrong, I spank you" it would become "I spank you because it turns us both on"
I don't know if I have made myself clear, my English is bad

It remains like that...any ideas how to fix it?
This usually means that it fails to load the asset-bundles. Probably worth a try to redownload and re-extract. If it doesn't work you can send me your player.log from C:\Users\<username>\AppData\LocalLow\HachiGames\HailDicktator\ it should contain the reason why it fails to load.

It did not work redownloading it, I attached you the Player log as .txt.

I'm playing the android version, and installed both apks. It's giving me the popup screen talking about how I need to install chapter 2 to play even though I did. I already had an older version installed and then installed both APKs from the OP today. I see only 1 app afterward, I assume both installations put their updated content into the old app I had right?

Am I doing something wrong or does this need to be fixed?
Any idea for my problem?

Hmm, as I thought the asset bundle failed to load. I think it might be the folder you have extracted the game to:
Code:
DataPath:           D:/Â /HailDicktator_0.38.3_Windows64
It's possible that the loading system cannot handle a path that contains special letters like 'Â '. It might work if you extract it to a folder which only contains standard ascii symbols. I will look into it more, since I was actually already accounting for something like this (or so I thought).

The way it is designed is that you can only ever have one chapter installed. Now this is less because I wanted to design it that way, but more that because of Android's app design. Two apps cannot share the same user folder, so save games would not be available between them. That's why both chapters have the same ID interally, and install over each other. You can however switch between them at will by installing one or the other.

If you are still before the Paris mission you only need to install chapter 1. If you are beyond that, you only need chapter 2. Both chapters are standalone but have overlapping data for base game data and repeatable scenes.

It worked, thank you very much.
Your help is much appreciated. <3

Okay thanks, looks like I was before the Paris mission so just installing c1 allowed me to continue. I was confused I had chased the french girl off island, don't quite remember where I went so I thought that was the "paris mission" for some reason.

Are the chapter1 images supposed to be improved as they still seem very blurry to me unfortunately.
