I'm glad my state isn't as archaic in its strip club laws.
I knew some states didn't allow full nudity, requiring at least a thong, but I was unaware any didn't allow the girls to go topless.

While its different than what many of us are used to when it comes to strip clubs, I kind of like it, it'll make it a bit more special when we get to see each girl nude for the first time.
To be fair to Louisiana, it's not the only state as Virginia is another state that has a similar law:

The Board shall suspend or revoke any license, other than a brewery license, in which case the Board may impose penalties as provided in § , if it finds that:
(...)
2. In the licensed establishment of a mixed beverage licensee there (i) is entertainment of an obscene nature, entertainment commonly called stripteasing, topless entertaining, or entertainment that has employees who are not clad both above and below the waist or (ii) are employees who solicit the sale of alcoholic beverages. The provisions of clause (i) shall not apply to persons operating theaters, concert halls, art centers, museums, or similar establishments that are devoted primarily to the arts or theatrical performances, when the performances that are presented are expressing matters of serious literary, artistic, scientific, or political value.
I'm not completely sure about it but I think Idaho is also another one.

It's amazing how many people seem to complain about something that's obviously an intentional choice in a way that suggest they think their complaint/s is going to make the devs just throw out their plans and start from scratch.

S&S have established their credibility, they have a strong fan base, and they let that fan base know what was coming long before the game was released. They've not shown a penchant for making changes based on such complaints and requests, so actually getting into arguments about such things really seems a waste of time.

No reason not to share your opinion. But arguing the point beyond that is just rude and a waste of time. Complaining that they could change the laws in their game when the choice for the location was BECAUSE of those laws really makes me wonder why some of you are even still here ...
Yeah I mean all my complaints was more or less me sharing my opinion or just agreeing with people complaining about the same thing . Yeah it's something I don't like cause it gives off a weird feeling to me compared to the image I have in my head. In reality tho it doesn't take anything away from the game being a good on either. May be something I find disappointing but I would never want the dev's to change it either cause then it would no longer be their original ideal / vision for the game.

If I'm not mistaken, Florida has one fully nude club in the Keys, Key West I think, I drove past it once while there. They had signs up saying, "Florida's Only Fully Nude Show," and stuff. I almost back tracked and visited just for the novelty, but I was with some family and strip clubs have never been a thing I've been a big fan of. That was years ago though so idk if it's even still around.

Now a topless show in Vegas with variety acts and stuff, count me in, those are a whole experience, :ROFLMAO:
Fully nude = no alcohol... I haven't been to Vegas though I've worked as a Mgr in the Casino Industry since the 90's, if I ever got there I don't think I would get past Treasure Islands Pirate Show and sign up to be part of the crew rather than the Mgr of the Slot Dept... May not pay as much but AARRR...
Ride my Harley to work 12 mos a year and swashbuckle, no brainer...
(Ok, $100k to probably $17,5K not a solid financial decision but it would be fun as hell!!!)

the writing here is very good
the renders are top
the girls are cute

if they dont add to much drama its going to be in my top 5
looks like the mc is a rich dude with a serious mental problem
we will see

When i played this, i was like wtf, why are they running around in underware in a stripclub? Where is the stripping part.
After a few seconds, i was like, oh right, USA, the country where you can show your kids the most violent tv shows and movies, but beware the nipples, those bloody nipples will ruin my sweet innocent child.;)
Now, i like the cast so far. I like even the MC. This a rare one for me. Looking forward to more.
Good start and good luck devs.

don't agree you on this one, I like having the feature, and many AAA games do support it, like BG3 that I last played for example. Why the fuck should I bother with notepad when it's super easy to implement that in ren'py. Many devs just don't bother with it, they are the lazy ones. Especially with games that are heavy in branching.
Its one of the first things I disable in a new game, yet I agree that it should be implemented for those that want it.

and I wanted to shove it up my asshole

Read the bloody text. It simply prohibits high-proof booze from being sold at businesses featuring that kind of entertainment.


As for the game, this ranks alongside WVM for me. :sneaky:
MC orders an old fashioned and there's tons of liquor bottles in the bar renders, so clearly they sell more than beer. Therefore Heaven's Door sells liquor and legally can't have nudity.

That's the point, you can't sell booze and do strip shows in the same place. Have you ever seen a strip club with no alcohol?
My understanding is that there are strip clubs in Louisiana that forgo liquor sales in order to have nudity, but they're typically in more populated areas and strategically located near bars that do sell liquor. Since Heaven's Door is located on its own, makes sense they might choose not to pass up profits from liquor.

Those are mostly in New Orleans, hell New Orleans probably has outright "illegal" strip clubs where both things happen but since the enforcement is so lax no one gets punished for it. HD is a club in Houma which is a fairly conservative city, and that would explain the strictness of enforcement.

Well that was interesting and not at all what I expected to play.

I'm interested in playing more and seeing how it unfolds.

New business idea. Open a bar right next to Heaven's Door. Heaven's Door quits selling booze and goes full nudity, allows customers to BYOB. lol
