Very happy with the release Vinfamy. I realise there are some stability problems (I am having crashes aslo, but I just save a lot to avoid loss), so hope those can be fixed without too much headache.
While that is obviously a priority, I'd like to put forward some of my wishes for future releases:
Perversion scenes:
I'd like to see these toned down somewhat. Right now it's a little odd that a perverted contact will turn down a relationship, turn down/rebuff all sexual advances but instigate sex easily in these scenes. I like the strip club and strip poker scenes, but the ones that end in easy sex when that npc otherwise wouldn't want sex are breaking the dynamic of the game for me.
How about some flirting and teasing instead? If attraction isn't high enough simply have the npc masturbate through their clothes while watching a couple have sex in an alley/watch a x-rated movie/watch the player use a sex toy. This would still raise perversion but also sexual tension, a stat that could be worth adding to the game much like incestuous tension but for non-relatives. The next step could be removing some items of clothing while masturbating... the gradual reveal and progression that makes sex even more exciting when it does happen.
Choice in instigating scenes:
More choice in when scenes are triggered would be great. I understant that there is already a lot of options in the menus, but the random scene trigger approach is getting a little frustrating.
On this note, I'd love to see other prompted events turn into other scenes. Inviting your date to a house party for strip poker is great, but will there ever be an option to instigate strip poker at a regular house party? Have it so certain attendees need to be warmed up before suggesting it, either by drinking or even flirting. Again I think that flirting scenes could be useful. Something between making a move and just chatting/drinking that will build sexual tension. I'd also like to see the strip poker scene progress to something more like an orgy. I'm assuming I am not just missing this and it hasn't been implemented?
Instead of having an option to instigate these scenes in the menu, how about actually going to a strip club for example while on a date and then having the scene trigger. Or having the option of challenging your date to strip appear in the strip club actions menu? The sex toy shop could be added as a menu in department stores etc and the x-rated cinemas could be an option at regular cinmenas. "watch a movie" or "watch an x-rated movie below it". I know both these things aren't exactly realistic but seem like a good compromise.
More character/npc variation:
I'm sure this is coming anyway, but I'd like to see this return with the new models. Things like races and age are less well conveyed at the moment with the Daz models.
As an example I met a person that was 79 and she had grey hair and slight wrinkles on her face but otherwise looked like everyone else. Turning the skin ageing, face ageing, body softness, natural breasts sliders right up, and a few other tweaks made a somewhat more realistic elderly character, but the results aren't as convincing as the old (admittedly overdone) models. With old male characters the return of at least one balding hairstyle would help.
Races are another issue. Asian and black characters are definitely not that convincing as yet. Skin texture/complexion is a big issue for this (freckles) but also the slider and face presets aren't as good for these races currently. I think a few good presets need to be made for all races and have these presets combined with general body types and slight skin tone variations for good results.
General slider variation is also an issue. Too many characters come standard looking very similar. In the body, most have the same shape breasts just a different size. I think the nipple size, depth and areola size/shape sliders need to be used more commonly. On this note having the areola slider go to more extremes by default would be good. I think -1 and +2 would be a better default range as the current 0-1 is not a large difference. The natural breast and breast shape sliders also need to be used by default and even implants on characters with a specific personality type. On the topic of implants, I know that a partner can suggest plastic surgery, it would be great if this could be chosen by the player (for themself) and have it make use of this slider for a visual representation. Other sliders like cheek prominence, lip fullness and nose shape could also do the same for general cosmetic surgery (although I admit this will be a harder balancing act).
As far as how random npc are presented visually, I am finding that the nordic nose slider is giving far too many characters with very prominent/open nostrils. Randomising face when first encountering them does little to correct this. I feel like the slider is a little inaccurate of how a nordic nose actually looks.
Aother issue is stomach shape. I find that the default stomach goes in too much below the ribs and out too much below this, for a very prominent s-shape. I find that I i need to increase the stomach size (sorry, can't rememeber exact slider names), but then as this pushes out all of the lower abdomen, reduce the lower stomach slider to negative values. I don't end up with a character that has an unrealistic lower stomach or anything, the lower stomach still protrudes more than the upper abdomen, but without doing this they look out of shape. With the default setting they look both emanciated and out of shape at the same time.
Anyway, that's a lot to put out there. But these are the things that are bothering more more than the animations. Right now I want the gameplay to improve first and foremost, then the visual diversity of the characters to improve, then the animations and completely new content as a last priority. That might just be me, but I thought I'd put that out there.
