(...) Mind you, it is quite hard to get to 50 LP for Sasha on hard difficulty for Sasha within 21 days, unless one really focuses on that. (...)

But isn't that a bit the idea of a "hard" difficulty? On easy you can roam around and get things done, if you can do, you may want a higher difficulty and change to that, but that should require knowledge of what's going on in game and planning according to it. If you don't meet real obstacles or maybe even "lose" a couple of times, why should there be a different difficulty if stuff plays out the same?

Adding more busywork just to get to the vanilla content doesn't seem like a good idea. There's enough of that around.

Well, I don't entirely subscribe to that. Sometimes it is nice to have some busywork to do so that the rewards feel more like rewards. And sometimes I don't need each and every kink and am quite happy with vanilla. I could say there's enough games around which feature certain kinks, if you want them to appear, choose one of those games instead of trying to get those for a different audience to your liking. Yes, I know the feeling of "this game is great but adding/changing X would make it much better (for me)" but in the end odds are that it'll get worse for other players who are exactly enthralled by this game because it does or doesn't feature specific things. Which may sometimes mean "vanilla mode".

That being said, I understand that you're talking about "optional" and with that I would be perfectly happy - to a degree. If there were optional NTR, optional furry, optional futa, optional pineapple pizza in this game, it would take away development time and thus content from the other, vanilla, stuff. If that were the case, I'd say "throw in everything but the kitchen sink". But as it stands, there is still quite a lot of incomplete paths which would interest me - personally, not speaking for others - way more than optional kinks, even if I am not averse to said kinks per se.

Is incomplete regarding sasha and cassidy Sasha is not what you should do after the confrontation with audrey. Where do you have to go samantha and then with her Cassidy is missing the last part of stepmother Cherry appears, all the way to get information about dawny

Yes it's still incomplete cause in wiki is still incomplete!
I was just added everything missing in first Pdf from wiki

I agree with you. In an earlier post I commented that hard is really hard. And easy is really easy. And that is achieved by a simple change in the arithmetic (salaries and LP / KP progression). So in that sense, the developer has done really well, as often games with various difficulties don't achieve a noticeable change in the difficulty, if you know what you are doing. Definitely not the case for this game, and the developer absolutely deserves to be commended for that.

Personally I don't mind the NTR stuff, but I can imagine that people who like a challenge (and thus play on hard, without cheats, and without abusing the lottery) want to be able to avoid it. Right now, it seems that Scottie's BJ is barely avoidable on hard difficulty, and depending on characters and content that will be added, it may literally become a mission impossible. Again, I don't mind, but I can imagine that others do. And as posted by me, on Normal difficulty it is quite easy to avoid (I had Sasha's LP in the 90s by the time 21 days were up, and that includes spending 5 days on getting martial arts, and another 20 hours to get the guitar skill).

My personal wishlist:
What I would like as a player (yes I will be making playthroughs on hard, once the game is finished), is to see that actual values, rather than the rounded values being awarded for the love points (also for Kink points on Hard, since that seems to be going from -200 to +200, depending on the character). The displayed reward of +1 LP can be anything from 1 to 4 LP behind the scenes on hard difficulty. That makes it a bit frustrating to gauge your progress quickly.

Also, I'd like an option to change the font colours, because in some cases it is really hard to read what is written (most notably in the coffee shop, bakery, and at the beach).

Bugs and balancing comments:
As previously reported, reading books does not decrease your needs (energy, hunger and all that). They probably should get the normal passage of time penalties.

A bit strange that fun goes down when you catch your roommates masturbating ... , and that the babysitting for Shiori event runs a charm check, rather than an energy check to see whether or not you'd be dozing off looking after Kanta. These are just minor issues, and by no means detract from the game.

Ah so there it is. Makes sense. Bummer for me - I took Guitar at beginning. If I knew then what i know now i would have selected gamer - cuz guitar i could have learned from a book later on; gamer does not appear to be an acquirable skill regardless how much I've played.

Thanks for the info. I'll continue w/ the maid route. I already experienced her new event which I won't complain about it was great.

That is totally wrong!! It is possible to do the gamer path with other skill!! There is a moment when Bree call you using the cellphone you just have to reject the call and talk to her in the evening and the maid path will be closed and the gamer path will be open!! I noticed that because I want a event to trigger and reject the call with Bree and accidentally I had the talk about the game tournament, and accepted to pay the entry fee for the tournament and the game path was expanded in the "book" (the book button in the top right corner)!!

That what I discovered by accident in the game! So having the gamer skill isn't necessary to do the Bree Gamer Path!!

Does anyone know the new cheat code? I tried the one that goes up down left right etc etc B A and it doesnt work.

 

[Cartageno]

Yes, a few people who read the last few pages do know the new cheat code.

Not sure how you managed that because the conditions do actually require the video gamer skill to trigger. Might want to see if you added video gamer to your MC via cheats or console.

Cheatcode has changed to the following in the living room press "down, left, up, right, up, right, b, a, down, left".
When a new version comes out you just have to be patient for a day or two and everything is available here included the cheatcode!! You just have to read the new posts!!

I think I added the gamer skill before the phonecall, because the maid path is activated by a phonecall where Bree asks to encounter Mike in the coffee shop to ask him if she can skip a rent pay because she doesn't have money and she arranged a work as a maid and a cooker in a "new coffee" shop and asks Mike for help with the cooking part. I rejected that call and at 18:00 in the living room the event of the "Bree gamer path" was triggered!! I think the maid path and the gamer path in the beginning their are both activated but one of them are closed once you reject or not the phonecall of Bree! If you reject the phonecall you get the gamer path, if you accept the call you get the maid path!! I think that winning or losing the tournament is related to your gamer skill not the path!!!

I added the skill via cheat!! I almost sure that I activated the gamer skill after the talk in the evening with Bree!!

Can anyone make a mod with android for cheats included? It's just so much of a hassle to plugin an keyboard or copy and paste saves files from computer.

Mansion? I do not believe there is a Mansion in the game.

 

[DawnCry]

Mansion? I do not believe there is a Mansion in the game.

Perhaps he means Dwayne mansion?.

I wanted to ask your opinion about Alexis story, overall for now we have her constantly flirting and having sex while dating us however says that the first person (the teacher) raped her.

I can't help but feel she is a liar, she only remembered the MC because she heard he was promoted and earned more money, then she has a date with him in a high class restaurant, she willl have sex with random people if we don't pass the stat checks and even lie to our face. This makes me wonder a few things:

1º Does she actually like or love the MC at all? it feels like she only came back because of the money and doesn't care about him at all.

2º Do you believe the teacher raped her or was it just a lie to cover the "only" mistake she had?

I have to say that I would have liked to hear her excuse when you catch her cheating rather than directly leaving after you confront her.

P.D: Overall I ask because I want to think there is something good about her, but she makes it really hard, it doesn't help that our MC doesn't let her try to excuse her constant cheating.

 

[magusreaper]

The thing is that many characters have past relationships that should be a point of conflict even when the girl is in love until you can intimidate, talk or do some other action to stop it with the rival.

We have for example Scottie and Sasha, overall even if we said to Sasha to dump that guy for good that doesn't mean that it would be the end, Scottie doesn't seem the type to say "okay, as you say I will never come back". However when you have enough fitness you could give him a lesson so he stops bothering Sasha.

Same thing with Ryan, overall he wouldn't give up on Samantha unless... we actually solve our conflict, overall a reasonable one would be that he doesn't truly loved Samantha but rather he was overcome with envy, he admired us and wanted to be better at something at least, then Samantha appeared and saw it as a chance, that's why he likes to show off in that sense towards us.

Aletta and Dwayne is another conflict and one that could even cost us our job. Overall seeing the situation Dwayne is in perhaps the best way to solve it would be to manage to have him kicked out of the company.

Overall perhaps the best way would be that "relationship conflicts" would just be left for hard mode or perhaps add a hard EX mode, but personally I just feel that those conflicts if they don't happen it would make incomplete many relationships.

Then we have Alexis extreme example, overall that's a pure cuckold relationship when you don't stop her (albeit I personally don't like the way we stop her but rather I would have liked to make her more submissive and dedicated to us until she doesn't have eyes for other guys).

And we have too all those lesbian relationships and other slutty girls.

I do agree that some girls don't need those type of conflicts, out of your list for example Hanna it would feel a bit weird to add one for her, Lavish the point feels like it would be more on dominant/submissive relationships and that at some point she will want to end up being your boss (she is really ambitious), Kylie is a yandere, overall I would want more to see actions related to it and be able to accept being part of the harem compared to NTR stuff, Cassidy feels the same as Lavish, with a focus on dom/sub relationships.

On the other hand I would take out of your definite no for sure Bree, she is the female MC and she will have a lot of sex adventures compared to any other character, I would expect that unless we tame her she could end up going out with other girls or boys. In the case of Shiori... she has a second job and rather big problems on her back, so I wouldn't add her in a definite no list.

I just think that we have on one hand the relationship with the girl while on the other the conflict with the characters that go for that girl, if you solve the conflict for good you can't be NTRed, on another point I don't take in this concept NTR as a final thing, but rather that you could seduce back the girl.

Just a tiny list of examples of what I mean:

-Scottie x Sasha: To stop Scottie you have to beat him in 3 fights, the first needs fitness > 25 (15 if you have martial arts), the second fitness > 50 (35 if you have martial arts), third fitness > 75 (50 if you have martial arts). After you have beaten him enough he will give up.

-Ryan x Samantha: To stop Ryan from trying to recover Samantha you will have to try to solve your past relationship problems with Ryan, different from the relationship with girls he would start at -100, being hostile, and you would have to try to fix your relationship, learning the reason why he cheated and having him admit that he never loved Samantha but rather he felt envy for you in the past and one thing leads to another, in the end he was just with Samantha so that he felt he was better than you at something.

-Aletta x Dwayne: You will have to end up blackmailing Dwayne or kicking him out of the company, basically search for things you can use to accomplish it.

-Anna x Gewndoline: You will need quite a few serious talks with Gewndoline to make her give up, basically it will require a few charm checks, similar to Scottie issue after the 3rd check she will give up on Anna... but just because she is now interested in you.

-Morgan x Kleio: Different from other conflicts you will be able to solve it more easily, just make Morgan less interested in girls until she leaves Kleio alone.

Even more there are possible additional relationships that may happen (mainly lesbian ones that could develop in the game) and ones that could happen in the future (Minami and a boy in school for example).

I just feel that the game would be incomplete without those additional conflicts. Of course the game could let them exist and give the player the option to lock all relationship changes cause of them (overall that the "rivals" couldn't seduce the girl no matter how much time passes).

Sorry if it was a big post but wanted to explain my personal point of view.

wait... you can fight with scootie??? why nobody tell me that before? what i have to do?
What do I have to do to make the event happen?
