HTML Just One More Chance [v0.54] [Lotrum]

How to unlock below achievement:

" Have sex with Katrina in the infirmary after fucking her in her apartment to unlock this "

Stalk Melanie on the computer. Go to her room and have the fight. After a few days the option to go the infirmary is in your room. Pass some stat checks with Katrina. Go to Katrina's house and pass the stat checks there to fuck her. You get one or two more infirmary visits and in the last one if you pass all the stat checks then you'll fuck her in the infirmary.

Just don't ask me which stats you need.

Seems videos are not autoplaying like they used to for me, is that an issue on my end only?

All videos have been reworked/rewrote to run through a widget, some autoplays and loops were lost in the process, I'll work on reinstate them, but even originally most videos didn't autoplay, i just tried to avoid it everytime there was more than one video on screen or too much text before.

What I and NotNamedAtAll proposed are different methods, in my idea you wouldn't remember your best score.

It'd be like this:
You have your base stat that starts at a certain number (say 5 int) and suppose retain starts at 10%. In your first playthrough you get your int to 30. At the end of the game the difference is 25 (30 - 5) so your new base stat become 5 + 25*10% = 7.5.

You'd then start at 7.5 the next playthrough, if you're a bit lazy in that one and get to only 22.5, you'd then go to 7.5+(15*10%) = 9.

Lategame if you started at 80 and just didn't bother to do anything you'd still be at 80 next playthrough: 80 + 0*10% = 80.

And if you got to the cap of 100 you'd still never go above 100.

Oh ok, this makes sense, I kinda grow attached to the one i posted last night, but in the end this is a good option and I'll put my thinking cap on and see what will adapt best to progression that I'll end up having.

Thanks again!

Just to chime in on this knowing exactly nothing about how to do it and having never designed a game: would an idea be to tie the stat retention to the amount of achievements unlocked somehow?

That is, the greater the % of achievements you have, the greater the % of stats retained. So as you have less to do on each run the penalty for restarting is lessened.

Any cheat

 

[garflin]

don't bother playing without a cheat, you will grind more than PoE/D4

This is only really true for the first few runs. Once you spend experience on the stat retention perks, things become less grindy overall.

I know this is your game and you should make it the way you want but but some people are in it more for the release than than the grind, Would it be feasible to have in the prologue a choice for people to choose how they want it? Let's face it there is a lot of grind and some people enjoy that kind of a challenge, there are more that wont in a porn game.

if you don't spend most of those fist play throughs boosting your confidence you will be lucky if you can get the 80 points to boost your Mental stat retention...
It takes 30 confidence to fuck the easy girl, who wants the D more than oxygen.

I'm just gonna answer in a brutally honest way here, not at you, but because I'm a bit depressed about this version getting the absolute worst feedback that I've gotten since i started making this game, and I can't really understand why.

Would it be feasible? Yeah, maybe it would, but I would be offering something that I think would be a very mediocre experience, playing out way worse than the literal tons of visual novels that are alreaxy existing here to offer exactly that kind of experience.

I know that the game is far from being complete and it still needs more content to feel less grindy than it is, but It just wouldn't work that way.

Everything is designed to have multiple results depending on your progressing stats, and to give you the feeling of improving your results while going forward.

Even if I gave the option to start the game with all stats maxed out(which is basically what cheats can do, btw), I think it would be a terrible game with no meaning and literally worse than just opening pornhub, so I don't want to do that, I was even very skeptical on offering cheats at all, because you can just end up ruining your game experience, but well I offered them anyway, cause this game is everything i'm doing with my life right now and i kinda needed at least a way to get a few more supporters, but that's something that i mildly regret and as I literally wrote on the cheats page (before even linking to patreon) I would still discourage people from using them, why?

Because I don't think they are an improvement or even useful at all and you should definitely try the game without them, if you can't enjoy it without them, then probably the game doesn't have too much to offer for you anyway, because it's more focused on gameplay mechanics than on the actual story.

Almost every option in the game gives the player confidence points. Like kissing Susan, Carol and Rose, so getting 30 isn't too bad. Plus some of the achievements earn you experience points on top of what you get for kissing and sex.

I agree on that. If you're not in a hurry to get results pretty much anything you do will award you something. Be it grinding for money, popularity, confidence ... I started by just swimming and programming without a care for social and such and it already boosted the next iteration quite a lot. Then just going to social classes and you're on a royal way.

So yeah, it's not too bad (like, not bad at all).

You can get to fuck susan with literally zero confidence, you either need 28 confidence or 100 attraction (and she will trigger a different scene where she takes the lead), which is pretty easy to achieve in the first run even if you go with any of the other routes and don't boost confidence at all, if you take the starting confidence boost instead and do some "socialize" classes you can literally fuck her at day 5 even with negative love and losing a few condidence points around (tyler, rose, etc)

Also fucking Rose requires no confidence at all and is not so hard to achieve if you focus on stamina with some int and/or charisma on the side.

I have tried test runs, picking charisma as start, not even a flawless run, you can lose virginity to rose at day 12 on first run

I do enjoyed this game. Maybe the part that I dreaded are the day bonus in one run.

Having more days at some point just feels lika a chore, not reward.
Maybe having it capped at 30 days (a month) would be best ?

When at your laptop you can stop a loop and start another one again, so in a way even if you've 70+ days you can just choose how long you wanna keep on going.

I don't think there is a malus in ending early compared to have it capped, after all, it all depend on how much you wanna improve your character.
If you're after an achievement that can't be obtained anymore you can just go to the computer, end the session and go for it.

You can end the run early from the laptop if you've done enough. After finishing the update last night I've got more days and starting cash than you'd ever need but there's no penalty for it.

Games attract common criticisms. One is that there will always be some folk who say the game is "too grindy", and the other is if there's no grind some folk will say "it's not a game at all, just text and pictures". All feedback is valuable but keep in mind that there will always be a Peter Griffin or two

I agree completely with you. But i would enjoy it if there was a way to at least "cheat" your sex control/experience down (in the base game) so i could see some of the dialogue/scenes variations. For example, i never knew Carol had a different scene for failing sex checks till i checked the files, and it was a great scene.

Also i hope you keep adding these kinds of scenes with different outcomes, they add a lot to the game IMO

I dont think putting cheats on your Patreon is bad at all. If someone supports you, it means they played through the game and had a good experience already

Btw keep up the good work, really impressed with the pace you're putting out content and with the quality of the game

Actually I found that if you "prestige" rapidly without improving you could reduce your stats enough to get some others outcomes. Welp, it's not perfect and you don't have a full control on everything but I guess later on the whole game could be played with that system.

I can already imagine how the story could go with the players trying things and having to experiment between all the stats/choices/bonus.
I also really hope in the end we'll be able to play the character outside of the simulation for some real life payback and the improvements grinded through the simulations.

Thanks! If you keep your lust over your maximum lust without lowering it, every time you sleep, you lose 1 sex control.


Sex experience, doesn't have a way to lower, but there aren't variations that purely rely on having low sex exp, it's just used as a gate to access or not some content, and ofc as a stat that some girls consider

Oh no, protection by obfuscation.
Anyways.
To cheat, simply open with F12 Dev tools in your browser and you can use the console there to change following values, should be enough to get through the game easily.

SugarCube.State.active.variables.money = 99999
SugarCube.State.active.variables.energy = 999
SugarCube.State.active.variables.stress = 0
SugarCube.State.active.variables.lust = 100

SugarCube.State.active.variables.strength = 100
SugarCube.State.active.variables.stamina = 100

SugarCube.State.active.variables.confidence = 100
SugarCube.State.active.variables.culture = 100
SugarCube.State.active.variables.intelligence = 100
SugarCube.State.active.variables.coding = 100
SugarCube.State.active.variables.charisma = 100

SugarCube.State.active.variables.popularity = 100
SugarCube.State.active.variables.sexcontrol = 100
SugarCube.State.active.variables.sexexp = 100

SugarCube.State.active.variables.maxenergy = 999
SugarCube.State.active.variables.maxstress = 999
SugarCube.State.active.variables.maxlust = 999

Are there really people who are pathetic enough to subscribe to patreon just to get cheats to the game?
Is it really worth it wasting your time and build in some bs just to protect cheats instead of making more content?
