I am looking for ways to make the video making gameplay different and I want to spice it up. I'll be brainstorming ideas for that once I've worked out some other issues with the game.

My first issue is with the map as well, but I've pretty much decided how I want to go about that. Instead of traveling to places through the map, there will be a drop down menu that allows you to interact with a character, and you'll travel to their location and open the interaction menu. There will also be a drop down menu to perform various actions, like working out, drinking at the bar, etc. Those actions will be expanded in the future. So you'll still be moving throughout the various locations, but you won't have to travel there manually.

As for the grind, I've created 3 different difficulty levels, with the current state of the game considered the hard difficulty. Medium will have girls stats, perk points, and subscriber gains increase as you max other girls. Easy will see a significant boost to all of those and make the grind almost non-existent. For those who just want to enjoy the story, easy mode would be for them. For those who enjoy gameplay, hard mode and the challenge mode are designed for them.

I have lots of content I'd love to add to the game, but my focus for the next update has been overhauling the animation system to remedy the performance issues. Thanks for the suggestions and I hope you continue enjoying the game!
Thanks for your reply. Can't wait to see what you will come up with :)

... as this is a porn game after all.
Well, true, but the last few years have shown that sex(y) games and bad/boring gameplay don't necessarily go hand in hand. Also here on this site you can see some very nice work with intriguing stories, engaging characters and at least OK gameplay. That said, as mentioned above, I think your game is on right track, and could provide a good balance of "lewd simplicity" yet interesting enough gameplay.

I understand the appeal of it for replay value, but currently I prefer the linear storyline for the game.
First, linear gameplay doesn't necessarily equal to no replayability. There are quite a lot of "linear" games which people have played through mutliple times (Tomb Raider, Half Life, Halo, Dishonoured, etc.). If the experience is good, why not? So you don't necessarily need extra assets or complex paths of choices.
Second, I think that your game has already the groundwork laid for a better replayability. Take for example the "video creation" menu. As it is now I can pretty much do every activity on a given day. If you would only do a certain number of actions then you'd need to be more selective, which could offer different experiences on a later play-through.

Of course you know what available time and resources you have and so far you've done a solid job with those. So, don't take this as a criticism of you current work. Do what you feel is right for the game.

Instead, you'll gain a benefit on medium difficulty settings where maxing those perk points will cause other girls to gain perk points quicker. As for a skill tree, I'm hesitant to add something like that as I want to keep complexity down, as this is a porn game after all.
Personally, I think character building and development, is something that brings quite a bit of fun, and is a differentiating factor for your game. It makes it so that even the objectively existing flaws in the current state of the game (such as repetitive scenes or a miniature sandbox), don't detract from the gameplay.

Regarding the tree or alternative forms of character development, in my opinion the fact that we are dealing with a pornographic game is not a disabling factor. Because, further stages of character development could, for example, unlock further animations, fetishes or progress to further levels of perversion.

Obviously, these are very preliminary thoughts, but they are based on one thought pertaining to the game. And that is that I believe that each new update should mean more options in character development. This could, for example, be correlated with new activities, which would mean a higher difficulty level.

Because, in my opinion, a situation in which we are faced with Lily/Claire/Jamie with totally doped-up stats who easily get, the highest score undermines the strongest aspect of the playability of the game.

And to conclude, I am aware of the limited resurgence, and don't take this as a criticism because it still must be pointed out, that there is highly unique aspects, in this game.

I'll be doing some brainstorming to find ways to add some extra excitement to the minigame and how it plays. I do agree that in it's current form, it's too easy to max arousal with girls that have maxed stats. That being said, I don't think adding complexity or difficulty each update would be the remedy. I'm not sure what a solution would look like as I'm focused on changing other parts of the game, but it's something I'll certainly be looking into in the future.

And I do want to clarify that I'm not limiting aspects of my game just because it's a porn game. I just don't want the game systems to be overly complex, which can be off-putting to a lot of players. The unique aspects of the game already results in a lot of unfamiliar gameplay that requires some learning. To add a lot of complexity on top of that can feel overwhelming to players. I already have changes to the tutorial in mind because many people don't read it.

I know that a lot of returning players familiar with the game system would be seeking new additions to gameplay that are exciting. I want to cater to those players along with newer players. I'll spend some time in the future looking for changes that can be fun and exciting for returning players while also not overwhelming new ones.

Osirian I really like your game, I see a lot of potential here. So, I sent you a message a week ago telling how to get a boost in patrons, did you read it?
I read every message and reply to my posts on this website. There's already a lot of information floating around about Oppaiman and it's not something I'm interested in. Thanks for looking out, though.

Any idea when the next update will be out? Loving the game
This update cycle is going to take a little bit longer as I've been converting all my animation images to webm. My best guess prediction is it should be out in later November.

How to Challenge Game is played? I don't get any points no matter what I do...
It does look like I need to provide a tutorial and add clarification for challenge mode as you aren't the first to be confused. Challenge mode is customizable, so you can increase the difficulty by putting points into challenges located in the "challenges" tab. As you put points into those, your slut level will increase. If the slut level is higher than the highest slut level you've completed, you'll earn challenge mode perk points when you max the 10 arousal orbs while making a video. You can see the potential reward you'll earn at the bottom of the "challenges" tab. At the start of the minigame, you'll need to enable challenge mode when prompted. I'm considering making this a checkbox in the video screen. Hopefully that clarifies things!

I absolutely love this game and how it's going. Really enjoy the lesbian and fetish content. Progression is pretty nice. Don't feel like it's too much grind, the grind is pretty hot too. The render quality and character animations are really top-notch.

Osirian How do you make these animations? I'm really curious. Are they made in Daz, iClone, Blender or UE4. How is it that the butt cheeks even have motion. Any tips would be awesome.

Thanks, I'm glad you're enjoying it. I make all the animations in Daz and manually give the butt cheeks motion with Glute Control.

v0.4.25 public version is now live! This update includes the single biggest change to Harmony Girls, the animation update. All animations have been updated to a new format which dramatically reduces the performance requirements while also significantly lowering file sizes. In addition, all dream content is now fully available in the public versions! Enjoy!

Hell yeah, I'm glad I could fool you, even if it was for just a moment. I try making everything as realistic as possible, especially with the animations.

It's been a few updates since I've played, it's coming together nicely! Two little comments, in regards to money I think you could add two things, one the predicted passive income, and two some events tied with cash milestones. The other thing that would be nice to see is a second kink for Lily. Watersports aren't my jam (no shade), but it seems like Lily is getting into domming, and in general could collect all of the kinks that others specialise in.

But it's a great game, looking forward to it's future with Ivy and whatnot (need some extra security to hold the pimps off from thinking you're poaching).
