Something that has not been mentioned above is the diet system works in a different way, now it's a full new mechanic meant to control weight, can't remember how it used to work exactly though, there are also new small events on the slums meant to put pressure on you to move out.
Reminded me there’s a bug on that event I shall go and fix. If you already lived at another location and canceled renting for whatever reason you default back to slum, if you visit slum the event is inappropriately triggered without considering how long you actually stayed at slum.
I think it was already fixed before, kinda, think now you can't just rent the lab, wait one day before the decade is over, forfeit the lab and walk out without paying for the lab, the cost of running the lab for the days you had it enabled it's still deducted from your "weekly" rent
Little investment.... that's not entirely true, yes, you only need 3 drugs that cost $5 and some water/alcohol/mucus, the thing is that you also need a slave that knows alchemy, and to get the highest value out of it you need a slave that is S rank in alchemy + the fiend mucus, that implies a lot of money spent in training of the slave in alchemy (specially in a custom game where you start from zero) and spend money on a property + the extended rental of the lab + the extended rental of the fiend pens to host the fiend to collect the mucus and then collect the mucus. All of that adds up in terms of money and time, it's really kinda expensive.
No no, I didn't mean in terms of "can it be achieved or not?" it's more of a "you're putting too much features in one single thing" complexity, specially when you compare it to the other surgeries, one lets your slave to lactate, another one lets her lay eggs, another makes her infertile, those are simple, the succubus surgery you propose is good enough with just the sex->energy/calories conversion
Ah, you noticed it too, actually is not the only instance there is of nonhuman beings there, if you go to the brothel you'll see some demon girls and a furry slave. You could also find an android in the technosphere. Some of the costumers in the game are nonhuman. It's a good lore basis to include nonhuman slaves isn't it?
That's... true, I think it's a little bit overpowered now that you mention it.
The tame, habit, devotion, fear, etc. all of those are psychological stats of the slave that determine how much resistance she will put to your will, the higher they are the more willing she will be to do what you want, pet training is a behavioral skill that has to be learnt, no matter how willing you are to obey, if you don't know how a pet acts you can't act as a pet.
People have vastly different expectations between a cat and a dog. A cat do whatever she wants and people tend to spoil cats while dogs are expected to be devoted and emotionally dependent on the owner. There is a reason why there is only police dog but no police cat. And to be very honest training a dog isn’t far from training a slave.
Far as Im aware its a one off. Once done, they dont come back.
I have tried using Bottles container which is basically wine but support some windows driver in the background, Windows Media Foundation was one of them, but the sound still does not work. Not sure if you found anything else to make it work.
The Bottles (and most other scripts) implementation of WMF is half-complete. The other half is a pain in the ass to install because of licensing crap, so it isn't automated by almost anyone out there. For SteamDeck you'll probably want to dual-boot with Windows as I don't recommend disabling SteamDeck's protections against full-blown updates. I would try asking Steam to simply add Qt5 to SteamDeck (maybe don't explain your reason other than "some software/games use Qt5 and need these libs, plz?) and throw in a puppy-dog face. I doubt they will, they're quite particular about what they approve.
I can live without sound tbh, the game works just the sound. I assume the Linux version you made is no longer being updated? Quite a while ago I can see when you posted it. Not sure if that would work on the Steam Deck anyways
I already explained this before, I won't again after this: It doesn't need updating. Not to mention it *can't* be. Qt6 does not implement the necessary libraries. It can't be ported, it *needs* a REWRITE. I cannot be any more clear than that. It was wrote in a poor engine (QSP) to begin with. The choice of API limited it to Qt4-Qt5 only. You'd need to redo the entire front-end from scratch. I don't have time to do it at the moment. If SteamDeck had Qt5 installed IT WOULD WORK. Copying the libraries from Qt5 to the application directory won't help. glibc issues. That's the nail in the coffin for using the Qt5 version. Your only options are what I told you to do. Either VM or dual-boot with Windows, figure out the MFC issues for your Bottle blegh, or remove the protections from SteamDeck and install *all* Qt5. TLDR: There is nothing *to* update. It's limited by the API and there is no "just rename to Qt6 dependencies". There *are* WebKit Qt6 libraries. It's now "WebEngine" and it's not a similar-enough API to easily port. On top of that, you'd need black borders because the people that wrote the UI for this game used pixels instead of rem/em. It won't scale well at all, nor will things be in place, it'll fuck the layout to try to use 1280x800 without bars.
Let's say pet skill gets divided in dog and cat skill... then what? change all client missions to ask for dog or cat or both skills? change the training messages to fit both from F to S? change the pet affinity trait and divide them in 2? change how the clothes buff both skills? that's adding complexity to gain what exactly? realism? Idk, don't feel like the generic skill is taking realism away from it, and yeah dogs and cats are expected to behave differently but here you're not training a dog nor a cat, you're training a person, and as a slaver by your balls she will be learn to act as both at the same time wether it makes sense for her or not.
It is kinda broken yes but how else would you make it a more fair and worth to keep around? it also has to make sense within the lore of the game, take in mind that it is a late game mechanic too so there has to be a good payoff out of it or there may not be a good reason to use it in the first place, what I mean is that in theory something could sound useful but in practice it won't be used as much like the lethe potion example I posted some days ago, if your slave is going to get mindbroken anyways, why waste a potion (that could be pilthre or aphrodisiac instead) and time (to get to the same point in terms of obedience) to reset her when you could just get rid of her and get another slave that is easier to train?
No hard feelings but I doubt lab is anything "core" since its code is significantly inferior (in terms of complexity and completeness) to any other mechanism. Most likely a side mod added back in HF era and just stuck while nobody really bothered looking into it. I also don't see any connection between lab replacement and roadmap, just shows how out of place it is at current state.
The game is hard to get started with. Make sure your slaver isn't going into negative energy. Also some starting characters have poor health, which adds difficulty. I recommend using easy difficulty and a powerful character for your first few runs, like Milord.
I agree that the food at the hip is underpriced. I think it would be reasonable to increase its cost. If purchasing vegetables at the gastronomicon really costs 15 instead of 10, that's a bug. I haven't yet had time to test it myself. Hoping to play with the latest dev branch in the coming weeks.
You are not going into red energy, yes? (remember, if he has to auto complete some things at the end of the day, he can go into red energy without you seeing it) Also, hopefully you are not going too hard on the drugs? certain drugs and potions can really sap energy.
It is a bug. In fact, most food ingredients are sold at above listed price.
Yes in the red ... but then maybe i must need to minimize the daily doing, and no , no drugs , not good enough Alchemy ... i didn´t get 1 single Potion done.
Is totally possible to start a hardcore run with the minimum amount of sparks and with zero skill points, that means all in F including stamina which is not set at that level in custom run by default and also rejecting Isabella, it is doable. Winners don't use drugs but when you're on the slums you're not a winner, don't be afraid to use them, cofee for when you fall into the red by accident, cocaine for when you need a big push (like trying to complete the slave training when you're too close to the deadline) or recovery (coliseum) weed and crack for when you think you'll need a mood boost for both slave and slaver, it's better to use sex as a mood buff for the slaver but early game specially in an absolute zero stats run you won't get access to free sex from the guild (which is kinda broken) + it doesn't consume energy like sex does and is affordable, they are not meant to be used every single day though, try to plan accordingly or you'll get punished for that.
