Why is mom's trust going down after the m.c falls asleep on time on the first day ? Hopefully the dev will add the option for the player to rename the M.c.

Sorry but this game is broken/buggy or something. The restaurant is bugged you can't finish the trial run. The grind on the mother is way to long an bugged where you lose points when you go to sleep, You cant do shit with the sister but look at her? Your MC's energy runs out way to damn fast. You cant interact with anything but you can't go to sleep because your not tired. Doesn't no energy = TIRED? You should be able to go to bed at 20:00 with no energy an not get told your not tired. The only good thing this game has is the renders look good, good luck with your game.

It should work. I haven't changed any core code between versions that I can recall. Having said that it's always a slight possibility that it wont.

Thundorn The graphics are very good but it's too grindy and confusing (and bugged). Try to make more clear what tasks have to be done and avoid repeating the same actions again and again because it's not funny. Simplifying the gameplay should let you find bugs more easily. You have a good starting base with the graphics and the plot, do not mess it.

It's grindy as fuck. Also, your trust/lust scores with characters seem to decay every day, making it even more annoying.

I seriously don't understand the fucking sense behind it.
The whole deteriorating score thing that a few games have, seems to be there to actively make the game even more tedious and grinding.

That's my main problem with so many free-roam games, their attempts to be more of a game than a straight VN is, appear to result in making playing the game an even more boring chore for players.
As if by some absurd logic making a game less fun makes it actually more fun?

It's a game mechanic that works. It might not have much purpose in HI at the moment but further down the road it will make sense. The most successful games ever made all have deteriorating stat mechanics. Whether each person likes it or not is personal preference. If you don't like it, don't play it :)

I don't recall Tetris or Minecraft having deteriorating stat mechanics. Just saying.

I never would have thought that Minecraft of all things would be brought up in a forum about porn games.

Is there any fix yet for the job scenario not completing properly? Or for advancing with the sister?

This Dev needs to pick one game and stick with it. They are both busted and rather than just developing one...he's making a mess with two of them. Person states he doesn't have enough time to make a game, says it's a hobby, yet is "trying" to make two. Pick one, fix the bugs, roll out content for it, fix bugs, finish it - move on.

It depends on the purpose of the game.
Games with deteriorating stats usually have actual gameplay, gameplay that requires skill or knowledge. You actually do something, not click through the same days again and again.

The games here OTOH tell a story and provide porn. In both cases deteriorating stats are no fun and do nothing but unnecessary prolong the time it takes to get the content you want.

Honestly, if you want people to earn their porn, then do something like in Mirror, where you actually have to PLAY to continue, not just stupidly grind stats without any joy in it.

You have good looking characters, your writing isn't bad, but you actively stop people from enjoying your game and you don't even seem to realize it.
Read the reviews, the positive ones are completely baseless (hell, one even calls the UI good, is he blind or what?) and the others all agree about the grind and the bugs.

There's trying to do your own thing and then there is shooting yourself in the foot, guess what I think you are doing.
