That's way too much to remember!! It would be far easier if the game had an icon that could be clicked on to set the game to easy/lazy/idiot level and then, one wouldn't have to remember anything, or read dialogue, learn to play poker, think, figure stuff out, etc.

Too bad it isn't possible to reset your brain, so you could try playing the game for the first time again. It's cheap to mock people like me who have to live with memory issues among other health issues too. But your post clearly shows that you have understood absolutely nothing from what I've been writing.

We are people, not robots. It means we have different way of thinking and we like different things. There is no reason to mock people who want things a different way.
A good game is a game, where it's up to the player to decide how much help he want. A bad game is one you can't play without having to turn to walkthroughs or cheats when you are a new player playing the game for the first time.

Two questions regarding the game.

1. One of the scene's with Natasha is named "You have a drink with Faye at the bar and Natasha joins you". The trigger says "You ask Natasha at the night bar to have a drink with you......" Shouldn't that be "You ask Faye...."?

2. I have a quest "Train with Jessica 6 times per week". The reward is the encryption key for Jessica's subdermal implant. Despite how much I train with Jessica the quest status never changes from "You have done 0 of the required 6 with Jessica". Beside that. I think I already got the encryption key through EH sperm sample.

There seems to be questions about the PC's training.
The player's stats menu in your phone is helpful.
For strength and endurance, train 3 or 4 times per week. Look at the points in your phone.
If you strength train with Jennifer, you are more likely to get 2 points instead of 1.
Helping girls bench press can also get you a strength point.
Getting a massage will let you exercise more, but may not yield points because rest is necessary to increase stats.
Train endurance with swimming and running.
Reading will get you charm and sneak points.
Beauty cream will get you looks points.
Keep at it & good luck!

I think what has been forgotten here, is we know when/how that information (full list of player's stats) becomes available - it's not immediately available when starting the game. Beauty cream isn't available until you get your phone updated, which also comes later. MasterGamer1234567890 isn't wrong that there's a certain familiarity we have, that a new player doesn't, and it seems DH agrees due to the change he is planning for the 3.8.1 release. I guess we'll have to wait and see what it means when we all get the update.

Oh, if you only remembered the days when I was the "lazy/idiot". We had some interesting conversations, as you'll remember!

You got me to reset my brain, and I hope I in return helped you understand the game (or at least some of the beginning) better. I think some other people understand as well, based on the reactions to my last post, so take that as the win.

Now let's all get back to playing the game

For #1, who is there and who you are interacting with may not always make sense
-- Forgive me - I thought this was one where you invited one girl but talked to someone else. Derp.

For #2, I've never seen that - I'll have to defer to one of the testers that hang out here.

That looks like a bug.
That, or you mixed up Jennifer and Jessica. (the first is the super hot long-legged brunette with big boobs, the second is the super hot long-legged blonde with big boobs)

Not really no, that's just your subjective opinion.
The arguments too.

But moving past that and to the actual topic,

This is a free game and the decision whether to make it easy, dense or somewhere in between is the developer's (and since it has a patreon, where the developer chooses, the patreons) choice.

The player can moan or praise as is their wont, but at the end of the day the developer alone decides.

As for whatever people have done the last pages, didn't read them, but seeing you argue with some of the regulars I can imagine the gnist well enough (it is page 1656 in a 6 year old game, and you are new).

I assume it is somewhat civil, seeing that Darkhound apparently picked up an idea somewhere, which I reckon means that none managed to make his ignore yet.

So I feel okay with skipping the fine print on this summer Sunday.

Nr 1 is a pretty obvious mistake. Fixed it.
Nr 2 I cannot reproduce this. Added the quest for Jessica. Did all 4 workout types. Each one worked and added +1 trainings to the counter.
Found some problems for the quest (nr 2) for Eva and Ivy which I also fixed.
-> all fixes will be part of 0.3.8.1

 

[Suckerville]

I've hit what feels like a bug.

I was trying for a particular scene with Ivy doing pull-ups, and whenever I choose to "compliment her strength", this option doesn't vanish and i have to excuse myself and leave to end the scene.
Given that (to my memory) none of the other girls' scenes behave that way, it doesn't feel like that's intentional.
0.3.8.0 with NE's companion mod.

Regarding Jennifer's instructions. They are long and messy. I've seen contracts for BIG IT systems that was easier to understand than those instructions. It's like they on purpose are made complex and hard to understand.

Ummm, what?! Jennifer's instructions are as follows:

"As a general rule, you need to find a good balance between training phases and relaxing phases. Since the training is very taxing, you can only train once per day. If you want to train another time on the same day, visit the spa and get a massage to help you relax your muscles....

"For maximum efficiency, you should train 3 or 4 times a week...More often than that wil slow down your progress. You need ot give your body time to heal as well. Less than 3 times a week is not intensive enough. You'll probably advance, eventually, with just 2 training sessions a week, but it will be slow progress....Once you have reached a certain level of strength or endurance, you need to train at least once a week in order to keep at that level."

Please post the contract for a big IT system that is less complex and easier to understand than that.

I train both 7 days a week when possible, I'm on day 294, my strength is at ten, my endurance is at 100. Methinks Jennifer lies!!!

 

[Drearash]

Progress Quest with boobs!

Joking aside, I wouldn't mind if the progress bar next to your skills in the phone app tracked progress towards the next level, as opposed to just showing how close your stat is to being maxed. Phone says I've got 7 Looks increase this week! Is that a lot? Is that enough to level up? How close to enough am I?

 

[Drearash]

I train both 7 days a week when possible, I'm on day 294, my strength is at ten, my endurance is at 100. Methinks Jennifer lies!!!

And it only took you 42 weeks?! lol

Getting Strength from 2 to 10 shouldn't take you more than 8-10 weeks if you're doing it right. Getting Endurance from 50 to 100 takes about 16 weeks.

3 and 3 will get you there!

I've been playing this game a LOOOOONNNNNGGGG-ASS time, I highly doubt I'm going to change how I train!!!

Not saying you should. You do you. But don't call Jennifer a liar; she's right. Her way is indeed more efficient.

One can never compliment Ivy's strength enough.

Yes, I DO look at Jennifer's tits 7 days a week, so I don't care!!! I also get a massage 7 days week too!!! I'm not a Whisky man, I would much rather have a beer!!!

 

[xapican]

Yes, I DO look at Jennifer's tits 7 days a week, so I don't care!!! I also get a massage 7 days week too!!! I'm not a Whisky man, I would much rather have a beer!!!

Now that you put it that way, I'm starting to see the genius of your training schedule.
