Ren'Py Life as an Innocent Waitress [v0.4.1] [Frisson Studios]

[nobody14789]

The subway mini-game gets boring quick. Tried boosting her exhibition to 1 million (after 700, 800, 1000, and 10K didn't work) but she never gives in to lowering her panties. I would include some sort of message that that is the end of in-game content when a molester tries (and fails) to lower her panties. As is, the only way to get them down is for her to orgasm, and the molester to pull them down while she can't react (once she regains control she immediately pulls them back up).

The bartending game is ok, but mildly annoying since you make less money, and you can't increase exhibition on that day.

In a related note, the number of ways to increase exhibition seems out of whack. Any activity anywhere that results in her losing clothing ought to increase exhibition (i.e. subway/beach), and if she orgasms in public it ought to have a larger increase.

Also perhaps if she serves "completely nude" it ought to increase as well, it's mildly annoying to keep having to go back and put the panties back on each time they're taken off (also blocks "nude" content if you're constantly putting them back on to raise exhibition). Also breaks the immersion a little bit since realistically her exhibition would increase from performing/enduring lewd acts in the nude vs. going back to the bar repeatedly so that people could just take them right back off.

i.e. maybe:
- lose an article clothing (anywhere) = +1
- serve customers "nude" (waitress/bar) = +1
- orgasm in public (anywhere) = +5

Every time I come here because of a notification I see a huge argument lol wth? Now I remember why I avoided the thread until the update showed up.

Anyway I have some questions, maybe the dev will answer, maybe they won't. Can't blame Frisson_Studios for not wanting to look in here too often

1 Will the school actually become a place with its own batch of events or will it remain as it is now?

2 Will Angel eventually get to have multiple clothes to better fit her corruption level or lack of it outside the waitressing?

3 Are there plans to include multiple unique events during waitressing (birthdays, bachelor party, depressed random, some guy with a fake id) and stuff?

4 Will the boyfriend have an impact or participation in any of the events at the bar or will it be a more pure, romantic situation that could turn bad depending on the player's choices?

5 You have more ideas for minigames or jobs for Angel that you are not quite sure if you will implement? Just curious.

6 Any plans on making the "purer" Angel a little more rebel and harden her as she faces this mess, with her own benefits?

I'm just curious really.

1 - If school content happens, it will likely be tied to the VIP USER branch.
2 - We would love to add many outfits, but that does not really work with the game style and engine we use. It would require a full new render for every outfit, which is not feasible. That said, we do change clothes during events, as already seen in the game.
3 - Maybe.
4 - If implemented and the NTR branch is enabled, yes.
5 - Not for now.
6 - Not sure what you mean.

 

[Notretsam]

6 - Not sure what you mean.

I'm not entirely sure what they mean, but I think they're asking if Angel will ever become strong enough to stop letting everyone dominate her. That she ends up doing sexual things because she wants to, not just because others want her to.

I think that is what they mean by purer Angel who has more control over what is happening; therefore, a bit of a rebel who toughens up with each mess she deals with.

The game doesn't need any more outfits for the time being. The bar has two different outfits, the subway has a new outfit, the beach has three different outfits, and even the landlord and the cleaning events have separate outfits. The normal clothes are completely useless now, and I don't think I saw a single event with Angel in 0.4 where she was wearing her normal clothes.

Aside from the extra work that would be needed, we don't need another base outfit until the summer temps become higher in-game. Until there's a utility for those normal base clothes to be useful somewhere, it's pointless to add them. I would've guessed that the school location would utilize her outfit, but since it's the VIP User, I have no doubt he'll provide his own special clothing, so that leaves us with the boyfriend, who'll see and interact with Angel in her regular clothes.

It's still a shame that we'll not get any school content, but may I suggest adding those minievents like the subway, but curated for the school? We already have the dialogues, so instead of a black screen, there could be a render or two, so it doesn't feel empty or entirely pointless.

i mean vip branch hey so how long will your development time framework be at? 1-2 or 4-5 years for a finished product? looking at the fan you have i'll take a guess its probably 4-5 yrs for a ready to launch game.

Let's consider the faults in the game's logic that ruin the whole picture.
What is this skill with door locks? What are these locks that constantly break, and why do they have different prices?
Why doesn't our heroine, after she starts earning 1,000 or more per week, rent a place for 600 per week (as stated in the game, 600 is the normal market price) and leave this greedy, stupid family?
And why does she continue to post spicy photos on the internet for a pitiful 10-20.
Hundreds of thousands and millions of views are worth much more. She's not stupid, she works several jobs and has to count her money.
And whether it's intentional or a mistake, they constantly reduce her pay for advertising cars, which demotivates her from going to the beach at all.

2 - We would love to add many outfits, but that does not really work with the game style and engine we use. It would require a full new render for every outfit, which is not feasible. That said, we do change clothes during events, as already seen in the game.

There is still an outfit inGame with skirt she got from the 'SecretDesires VIP' that isn't used and the comment that he would train her. Just assuming the VIP is not the fakeAI-Guy Seth this would be a nice option to give her outfits and tasks to do for training without the need of many render. Honestly in general I would prefer a different outfit to the sportswear she wears in the subway. Okay for sport but nothing else. The USA habit of athleisure wear is not attractive. A blouse where you could rip off buttons has more options. Another thing about the subway is that the guys are much talk and less do. What I mean is that they talk about destroying her bra or panties, but don't do it. I think one guy even said he would steal her clothes. Would be a nice handicap to have her start work directly without bra / panties or having an episode with her having to leave the subway without clothes. And they are slow as f...., most of the time when she meet molesters she is late.

Another thing that is kind of annoying is the twin that visit her in the night - no change in what he does. Talks about training, but does not really go forward. Every night the same routine. Same with Dick, he just touches her butt. Both could go forward in what they do. The twin tried something different at the beginning, but never tried again and I'm at day 70. BTW Twin means they could both together visit her in the night. SecretDesire has no content at the moment - the line is grey.

One thing I had happen, while playing is the situation where she collides with a guest. I don't know how your routines work, but this situation should be blocked for a few rounds after happening, because more than once I had the collision happen 3 to 5 times one after another and every time four glasses wasted. Another problem for me personally is darts. I am happy if I hit once because I'm handicapped - I'd like if it would be a random function win or lose.

EDIT : BTW what is the difference between the two subway skills?

Hope you enjoy the game, and remember it is still in beta testing, so please expect bugs and rough edges.

any plans for a steam release of the game? <3

 

[Mike_ock8]

Happy New Years and congratulations on another great update; I enjoyed all of the new content.

The two new mini games are fun, but I think the train mini game could be sped up a little. For the bartending do you plan on adding any cutscenes? If so, how about we have angel do cleavage, underboob and body shots?
-While Angel is mostly clothed and for a tip she puts a shot glass between her cleavage, fills it and the patron uses his mouth to take it out and drink the shot.
- While topless and for a slightly larger tip a patron puts his face under Angel's breasts and she pours a shot between her tits.
-While naked with high arousal and alcohol and for a much larger tip two patrons prop her up on the bar and pour liquor between her tits the liquor flows down her body to her pussy and there is a patron there to lap it up.

If Angel has good grades she can help tutor one of the boys in the house.
-If her exhibition is high enough and she chooses to wear a new outfit something like light loose silk tank top and shorts set. He cannot focus, he secretly tries to masturbate while Angel is with him. Angels catches on she agrees to help him if he promises to take his grades seriously. At first she will let him peak down her top and give him some pussy flashes but she leaves the room before he starts to masturbate, but as she becomes more comfortable she reveals more, then let's him touch. She also stops leaving the room and watches him, then she will eventually get aroused even orgasm in front of him giving him the opportunity to cum all over her.

Lastly, can we get more forced public exhibition? Scenes where Angel is forced to walk around in public with just her bra, then no bra and a very light top, same with the bottoms have her walk around in just her panties, then no panties with a loose flimsy pair of short shorts.

Thanks again for giving us this game and quality updates.

Let's return to the shortcomings of the game's balance and mechanics.
The door locks in the apartment don't work most of the time (or so it seems). The notification that they will be repaired in a couple of days is a lie (it's not good to lie).
The stalker in the subway doesn't go away, no matter how many times you call the police (and they promised at the beginning of the game that it would help, but they lied again).
Stress builds up from any action (poor girl).
The arousal doesn't go away, teach her to masturbate already!
It's not clear what reputation and honesty affect.
The heroine's detailed list of reactions to harassment has been quietly removed. Where is the freedom of action?
It's easy to deal with this - ride the subway for free and call the police. Don't carry anything around in the bar, don't approach the tables, stand at the bar, gather strength, relieve stress. Don't care about money, let the debt pile up. You can't earn it honestly in this game anyway. And nothing happens. Which means that the mechanics don't work. But if you remove it, then everything was done in vain.
For now, the path of corruption works, but the pure path doesn't, even though it exists. Why?
Without it, the game becomes a boring linear story with grind elements, of which there are millions.
All that's left is to introduce a character (or several) with horse-transplanted genitals and give Angel screams - I can't do without them, I'm going crazy.
It doesn't work that way.
When will someone finally make a game with a character who does this not because they can't control themselves, but because of need, pity for someone, etc.?

let me sum up what the game really is.. its just a grind game with teasers to get horny players attention thats it and why does this take so long to develop? its just baffles me LMAO u can do this in a powerpoint slide show LMAO!!! i mean it will take years to create this sort of game....idk something doesnt add up... just saying....

Well and you know at some point they will have to "remake" the game for some reason.... probably and engine switch or some other BS that will further delay actual sex scenes. Calling it now.

And whether it's intentional or a mistake, they constantly reduce her pay for advertising cars, which demotivates her from going to the beach at all.

The logic behind this is simple: this is a game. If everything were completely realistic, most of these situations would not exist.
The doors are old and poorly maintained, so they jam and jams often.
About rent, yes, she could rent a shitty place for 600 a week, but she also needs to eat, pay bills, and pay for college. In this setting, college is expensive, energy is expensive, and food is not free.
About camgirl content, even having one million viewers does not mean one million paying supporters.
And the car advertising pay is not going down. Her boss gives her a bonus because a sale seems imminent, but when that does not happen, the bonus is reduced back to the base salary.

The notification is not a lie, unless there is a bug we are not aware of. The door locks do get repaired after a few days.

The subway stalker does not disappear instantly. Every time you call the police, the chance of encountering him is reduced, as stated in the game. It is meant to be gradual, not a magic fix.
"Maybe, if this keeps happening and more reports are filed, the subway might become a little safer..."

Yes, stress is a big problem for her. She is being pushed, molested, and disturbed constantly, almost everywhere she goes. Poor little Angel.

About self-pleasure, yes, she will start doing it.

Bar Reputation:
"According to how happy the customers leave, the bar will have a better or worse reputation. A better reputation will make customers arrive more often and tip better."

Angel Reputation:
This works exactly as expected. A girl with a reputation for being “easy” will be targeted more often than a girl known for not letting people mess with her.

The reaction list is removed after the same situations happen many times. Eventually, she gets used to being touched. It becomes an everyday thing for her.

And about the last part: if nobody makes that kind of game, then maybe you should. When someone creates a game or an experience, they shape it the way they want, decide its rules, and follow their vision. You do not even have to like what you make, only like making it.
This game is clearly not for you if you cannot accept its base rules and the FMC.

I don't really know why I bother responding to this troll because it's clear you're not able to read what's written on your screen.
A quick recap :

In case of you've just skipped through the beginning, I advise you to read that, because it's right at the start of the game.



Frisson made a mistake with the last choice, an "Me dumb, can't read" (who throw out the game) choice is clearly missing.


We now all wait your high quality full finished bug free game made in just a month.


If the developer weren’t kind enough to spend time responding to people who often don’t deserve it… (I mean, it's a pirate site, why bother..?)
I don’t know how many people here count themselves among his supporters.
All I know is that I’ve identified a few guys who seem to be here solely to complain, without offering anything constructive, just trolling, for free.
And then you wonder why development is slow.
Maybe if you stopped making posts in that tone? Reading them is a waste of time (also for Frisson, hence the "so long to develop")... just saying...

 

[TommyTommy]

The doors are old and poorly maintained, so they jam and jams often.

I'm not saying that a simple door lock made of a couple of nails and a screw costs a couple of dollars, I'm talking about balance. Locks break too often and for too long. If you want the heroine to be groped often, why bother with these games with locks?
Besides, there is a game bug - even a locked bathroom can be freely entered by anyone.

About rent, yes, she could rent a shitty place for 600 a week, but she also needs to eat, pay bills, and pay for college. In this setting, college is expensive, energy is expensive, and food is not free.

Again, it's a question of balance. Can Angel earn enough without essentially engaging in prostitution? If not, just say so, and I won't even try. You say the game is about corruption, but it seems like that option is implied. Naturally, I want to explore all possible paths; that's what games are for.

And the car advertising pay is not going down. Her boss gives her a bonus because a sale seems imminent, but when that does not happen, the bonus is reduced back to the base salary.

There may be a bug in the game.
There are only two buyers, and no matter how hard you try, your salary decreases by one dollar each time, never reaching zero. If it reaches zero, both the game and the usual meaning are lost. Wouldn't it be easier to freeze this quest until it is updated?

The subway stalker does not disappear instantly. Every time you call the police, the chance of encountering him is reduced, as stated in the game. It is meant to be gradual, not a magic fix.

So how many days does it take? I've done this dozens of times in a row and nothing changes.

Bar Reputation:
Angel Reputation:

No, it doesn't work. I tried both methods in the current version and didn't see any difference. There are always lots of visitors, a select bunch of jerks who are always pestering you. Whether your reputation is 50 or 100. You only get big tips if you let them do whatever they want. They don't care about your reputation, no body means no money. It's easier not to approach them, but then the logic of the game completely collapses — it allows the waitress not to work at all. You have to agree, this shouldn't be the case, but it is.
Let there be decent visitors too, who will give good tips for a smile and a pretty face, then everything will be fine.
And there are so many who want to corrupt her.

The reaction list is removed after the same situations happen many times. Eventually, she gets used to being touched. It becomes an everyday thing for her.

It doesn't work. I tried to follow the pure path. Angels just grope and there is no more sheet.
If we consider those cases when she is groped against her will, then again - why create the appearance that something depends on refusal?

And about the last part: if nobody makes that kind of game, then maybe you should. When someone creates a game or an experience, they shape it the way they want, decide its rules, and follow their vision. You do not even have to like what you make, only like making it.
This game is clearly not for you if you cannot accept its base rules and the FMC.

What if you end up with something like that? How can we know? Everything is still ahead of us. Not the worst game option in addition to the standard ones.
Speaking of the basic rules, it's a cage we built ourselves.
Thank you very much for your answers.
