HTML Life Choices [v0.8.8.71] [Burningsun]

[BurningSun]

Damn this game is surprisingly good, actually very good, but it's also super frustrating as a few people already mentioned) Some of the logic just kills me, like apperantly going to mixed saund makes you lose dignity ... WHY?! And then showerig makes you gain dignity ... WHY?!!! I can kinda understand why, but it just make no sense and it makes it only harder to actually lose dignity. Also when Faoud makes Lizzy his hoe she sometimes runs into him 3 times in a row and it completly breaks the game if it happens on a work day especially with Donny.

Hey SloanD,

I've just added something to prevent Faoud's men to grab Lizzy multiple time in a row. Thought it was a good point you were making and fixed it. They can still grab you if you go to work, so yeah it could be troublesome. It will be mentioned in the change-log.

Showering cleans you and makes you feel generally good/better about yourself, which is why showering increases dignity a little once it drops below 75. Certain events will stop the dignity gain though.
Anyway you get... kinda
Dignity is not the main driver in the game though. Many, many, many events are also triggered in other ways. Try a stupid Lizzy, or a Lizzy with low morale or a combination of those two for example. It will unlock a lot of other options. You may think you need low dignity to unlock them all, but it certainly is not the case.

For example, the path you mentioned where Faoud's men just randomly grab Lizzy and use her whenever they see fit, is ONLY unlocked by having Lizzy have very low intelligence as well as low morale. Lizzy could have 100 dignity and still she would be able to chose that path.

Cheers
BurningSun

PS: I get it the game can be frustrating sometimes. Please keep in mind two things; 1) The game is still in BETA and I'm still changing mechanics and other stuff and often, just like above I will immediately change something if you, the player, let's me know what bothers them or not. 2) Sometimes I just like the way it works and you don't. I'm sorry about that, but that could happen too

Indeed. I thought lipstick n nailpolish were "the make up" and I did not find a mall before, just the local store.
so thats solved. Thanks you ;P

But another question: is it possible to get a new job? caus so far it seems once I ve chosen one I cant go back to do another one ?! :O

Edit: I find it particulary frustrating that I have no chance of ever paying the rent once I am behind.
I ve tried it 6 times now and every single time I did not get the money to pay it. even though I did nothing else but work, I did not even buy anything else, no food no nothing. still did not get to turn the tide... not even close tbh. even though I was pretty good with work related skills.

You can get another job in 2 ways:
1) Don't go to work a few days in a row and then show up, you surely will be fired.
2) Call your boss over the phone and quit.

Not sure why you are having trouble to pay the rent. Perhaps try the game on an easier setting? Especially on hard setting the first few weeks can be pretty tricky to get through money wise.
Also keep in mind that Morale is important regarding your pay. If you have a low morale, you will get paid less. Make sure to keep it above 70 at all times or above 90 to get extra pay. Better morale is a happier Lizzy, is better for the customer

Good luck

you mean Julie-Anne
Thx for the advise. I did not buy a phone since try1 and did not look at the morale in combination with the pay out (although it should have been high enough I think...) Anyway. I ll try again.
Overall its interesting and good enough to fight the frustrating part. Wont get me to walk by that easy

Senpai noticed and liked my first post ever. Thank you BurningSun, enjoying the game immensely and eagerly awaiting further updates!

 

[Garazas]

I am not sure if it is a bug or feature but shower at home has influence on dignity, but in gym not. In that case it is more efficient to take shower in gym or pool only.

 

[BruceLee73]

And I still failed to pay rent... on easy. by 9 euros....... :/

Edit: okay I am out. Restarted again, this time it wasnt the rent but the morale that killed me. no matter what I did it fell to nothing. on "easy" mode.
and I had my period twice within 10 days.
this is clearly not for me if I have to save/load everything a bazillion times just to end up accepting that it was all in vain and I have to restart for the ... what is it now... 14th time? I like challenges but this is beyond.
Grinding this hard (and still failing) makes me go on click-rampage instead of focusing on a game (or any story in it). In its current state I sadly have to pass.
I still wish nothing but the best for the dev. Good luck

Hi and thanks again for this great game. are we expecting an update anytime soon ?

 

[DemiArc]

This game is fantastic overall in its design and layout, but I gotta say it's a hell of grinding even not in hard mode... especially when u choose not to switch jobs and also trying to save up for a good bed...
So, anyone knows what I should do after giving Henry the hug and then talking to Bibi for the 1st time? The next rent day nothing happens (no extra options) AND I am unable to visit Henry ever again (always said "back soon")...

I got the same problem. I cant do henry any favors there is no option whatsoever.

Day 1, Normal mode, starting money = 500,000

 

[Nelythia]

To be honest, money isn't the issue in the game, especially not on easy.
What is kinda stupid is the already mentioned grinding.

Job levels, all these stats you have to have to even be able working, the F5 spam to get a scene you want to see or to check if you missed a scene in specific conditions, all that is just horrible horrible grinding that needs to be removed or definitely atleast changed.

But all that ignored, it is a good game and I'm patiently waiting for the new update.

Ok so after spending 3 hrs climbing all the way up in this post (jesus this forum's search really needs some rework) I think I found what might be the solution... try thread #448 to see if you did choose any "wrong" option, which I did.

What a cool idea for a game! So many of the games on this site have such crazy world building that it's nice to see a game set in "real life" like this one. I really like the wide range of choices and random events, and the ability to choose my character's path re: jobs. I like the imagery and gifs used too. Here are the things i don't like:

-The sex scenes (or lack thereof). I've been playing a while, and have only unlocked two scenes so maybe there are more that I haven't found. (I've unlocked the gross non-consensual alleyway scene, and the going home with someone from the Club). Both scenes are pretty brief and underwhelming as erotic scenes, especially considering how hard my character had to work to get into that frikkin Club.

-It seems like there's a huge divide between non-sexual prudish actions (which your character forced to take early on), and *super* degrading/slutty actions that just seem completely out of character later. It's like going from 0 to 100. For a game with a lot of grinding and stat building, there should be degrees of scenes. Like, maybe before your character is ready to go home with a random person you met at the club, you might try making out with them first?

-I wish there weren't so many random events that set stats backward. For instance, I get why choosing to wash a strangers back in the communal showers would increase your "liberal" stat, but I don't get why turning them down makes you *less* liberal. Maybe my character just doesn't feel like doing that right at that second? These scenes make it feel like I'm constantly taking 2 steps forward but one step back.

-Why doesn't studying the map unlock all public locations? I get that it wouldn't unlock, say, the loanshark's office. But it should unlock the mall, church, club, museum, health club or any other publicly listed location.

-I wish we got more warning when my character is approaching a learning gap. You'll need more library science skill or botany or fashion skill depending on your job, but I always miss it and have to reload to an earlier save file. There should be a calendar reminder like with the dishes. E.g. "Donny needs me to get Fashion to level 10 by next Friday"

There are hundreds of different sex-scenes that are easy to find if you just try.

I feel there are degrees. Some events can have up to 5 or more different outcomes depending on your stats in which you can choose.

Really fun game, keep it coming!

 

[Xill]

If i could add a suggestion. What if, based on your dignity and/or desire, when Henry comes to raise the rent, Lizzy opens the door (and since it always seems to be after shower) A. wearing a robe and showing no skin at all. B. wearing only a towel from the waist down while while waist up shes completely exposed and C. completely naked.

Hello guys

Does someone now how BurningSun Ist doing?
Has he continued to work on this game or is he still recovering?
I really really want to see what's next on this game after more than six months since the last update. But I don't want to push the dev too hard
This is my favorite game by far here
