Are there plans to add more options like other stars or upgrades to the brothel? Getting the receptionist to max rank does allow for easier flow of customers and stars, but it would be nice to have a filter or adjust/hide certain menus to see everything.

For example: some have stated the customer list is very hard to manage once you get the receptionist running as the client list is down below the screen. Being able to 'hide' the top screen that shows the number of clients, profits, and receptionist option would be a way of viewing this, same with the stars list. Perhaps allowing us to hide the star list to the right to expand the private room area to slightly bigger 'screens' would be an improvement?

It seems the author thought about that you can customize the video of each girl.

I think I missed that part. I'll have to see if I can adjust the videos

I'm gonna chime in here, you can definitely stream Redgifs' stuffs from a local html file - I just asked Gemini to code a demo that can stream .m3u8 link locally and it worked fine with redgifs link. I think you're using iframes to stream these which is not the right way, you need to use their api instead, so all links should be changed to "api.redgifs.com/v2/gifs/idofthevideohereforexamplenovelgrumpyjunebug/hd.m3u8". This can then be passed to any streaming library, like hls.js for example, it'll also give you total styling control and get rid of redgifs' UI over videos.

IMO unless there is something you really need from Electron, I'd suggest fixing the api calls then get rid of this whole exe packaging entirely, unless you're building a cross-platform app there's no reason to use Electron.


Edit: More stuffs that you can also do to optimize bandwidth: programmatically truncate streams according to the video duration setting. Since m3u8 is just a text file that describes media chunks and how long these chunks run for, it should be possible to chop off parts that won't ever be played due to the duration setting. You can also swap streams to lower resolution versions by changing "hd.m3u8" to "sd.m3u8", which can be useful when players get more rooms, at 5-6 rooms high definition videos might be excessive, this can also depend on viewport size maybe.

Thanks for the detailed feedback, really interesting points. I'll definitly look into these!

Hi!
Great start!
Beautiful UI.
I hope you'll continue to develop the game. =)
Are there any plans for a modding tool?
I'd really like to add a couple of girls and create some additional skills

Really like the idea, and it's a pretty good alpha/proof of concept.

But some things I noticed:
- The Quality upgrade in the Talent Agency is more of a trap right now because it levels the models at random. I had to raise one Girl to level 12 to unlock all her skills(7/7) and invest something like 150k in training for all girls
- Clients that request a specific Girl shouldn't spawn/get rejected at the door if said girl is resting/training etc.
-Clients should be auto-rejected by the receptionist at the end of the night if it turns out that there is no Girl left who can fulfill all their requests.
- At some point, probably because I spammed the training and energy button, the state of the energy didn't refresh live, so I had to change tabs/train someone else so it refreshed.
- Some French here and there

-If you mouse over the Sorting Buttons for the team​

-The time remaining for new talents to appear​

- maybe? the Nivaue to state the level of the Extensions. Could just be an unfamiliar use of the word for me​

Suggestions
- Privat Gallery

- Save the state of the Girls, whether collapsed or extended​

- A way to clear all slots. Right now, you have to remove each video individually; they stay in the slot when you leave the gallery, and you can't replace them by dragging and dropping a new video over them​

- A Button to end the night early, no fun if your last client is a marathon man and everyone is waiting for him
-A way to remove a Girl from the team, be it because you have seen all her videos, want to focus on the others, or simply don't like her. Be it retiring or parking her in a reserve team
-Maybe when a Girl services a client with multiple requests, mark the already done ones



And at last, Im fine with streaming redgif but I'm not sure how often content gets deleted there, so it could require a lot of extra work from (right now, without modding, only) you to make sure there are no dead links


Hope to see more from you

Very promising game, beautiful UI.
As others stated, game is too fast for a porn game even with 30sec video settings. The time to accept the client and match with a girl gets impossible with 4+ rooms. Automatic upgrade helps with this but it will always just pick up a girl with highest level.
Would much more prefer doing it manually but without time pressure.

There is a small bug also where sometimes if you have 2 requirements only 1 will get satisfied when putting the girl in the room and the video would be playing but the overlay of empty room would show over it.


I suppose that rep levels are locked just for this version (UI kinda suggests it) because you can easily get 50 rep in one night and current max is 100. So I am excited what dev has in plans.
Bar and marketing upgrades aren't fun atm. Gym is cool but defeats the purpose of taking +energy on level up.
Love the private gallery screen, really cool to see how much you are missing.

Suggestion: make reception level ups let us choose modes of auto assignment of girls e.g. highest energy, lowest level etc..

Also maybe disable using tags and girls that are not on duty. Hate when I put a girl on rest and then you get a customer asking for her which breaks the perfect streak.

And finally let us quickly click a tag and it will filter girls that can do it. This would help a lot when trying to find a girl for a room.

Hi guys, thanks for the kind words! Really glad you're enjoying it.
You've raised some solid points. A lot of this is already on my list, and some ideas are new to me. Really helpful.
Modding tools aren't on the roadmap right now. I'm still a solo dev figuring things out as I go, so I need to keep the scope manageable for now. But I love that people already thinking about adding content!
I'm working on this in my spare time, so things move at their own pace, but rest assured the game will keep evolving.

If you want to have a say in what comes next (new girls, features, priorities), I have a Patreon where supporters can vote on that stuff. But no pressure at all, just playing and giving feedback like you did already means a lot!
