Not to gloss over a tragedy but it's not like Jessica Jaymes is producing new content to use in the game. Rest in power, gone too soon.
The porn actress for Mel is dead? Did not know this and möge sie in Frieden ruhen (may she rest in peace)! But this tragedy aside, I am sure there are events, even on the dating side, which can be made with the existing material. Most of several events is text and does not need movie clips at all.

this is the best html game i have ever played
Thank you!
Bloody typical! I go on holiday for a couple of weeks and miss out on the R11.5 update... Curse you force majeure!

I guess if nothing else I'll get double the pleasure for the next update if I show some self restraint and wait for R12. Apologies for no bug report this time, I'll be sure to do so next time.

You're right about that.
No worries mate, since R12 is so club focused, pairing it with earlier release content will make for a good combination. Just wish I could say you won't have to wait long!

Yeah RIP. I didn't even find out until after I had put her in the game.

Great game indeed ! My only issue is that I progress much faster with the girls than with the jobs, so I usually stop there and never really progress with the job (even with working every day from day 1). Anyone else having the same issue ?

Thank you! I'll have to take a look at the tuning once everything is done. Is it the manager sections of the job paths taking too long?

Usually, I finish both Mom and Lydia (main routes) before I can make any significant progress in the job (or the job related girl), going to work every day excepted when there is an event I can do at that time instead (but it's rare). But maybe it's just me doing something wrong, we'd need feedback from other players. Also, I always restart from the begining when playing a new update, which might be why it is an issue for me and not for others.
I included a save (R11.5, no cheat or save edit) to show you my progress.

Thank you I'll use this later to compare against my own testing

This is the best HTML based game I've played. Done a really good job making this. I've completed every goal but the only thing I'm confused about is Christine. I've done showers with her and rewards like massages etc but whenever I click her bedroom there's no options. Have I missed something earlier on to unlock another scene? Do I need to be there at a certain date/time? Or is this just something that will be added later on?

For me personally, I never had an issue with the work progress for 2 reasons:

1) newbie unaware of game consequences terrified of "YOU MISSED WORK TODAY" message and if it actually DID have consequences.

2) many of the events were at work, so if anything I was eager to go everyday and check out new scenes.

that's not to say others couldnt have legitmate gripes, that's just my take. The strip club can get a little boring, but that's mostly once you exhaust all the events and that should get better with future updates and more stuff to do there.

Thank you! Yeah the Christine room location is totally pointless and I'll likely remove it. Just a remnant of when I was probably still planning to give her a schedule of her own.

Thanks for chiming in. Everyone's going to have their own playstyle in a game like this so it's helpful to get multiple perspectives :)

This is a pretty accurate description of how I feel about working in the game. I've never found it to be an issue, most likely because of the way I play the game. I've posted before about how I run the early game in a brisk routine to maximize the initial events and plough through the promotions and would recommend starting at the office to new players simply because there is very little to do during weekdays between 9am and 4pm, meaning its more efficient to just work all day. There are consequences to missing work, I believe its a -3 performance hit, so it's worth doing just to circumvent that but the avoidance of such harsh information might also be my inner strategy gamer having a viceral hatred for minuses.

A few tips I might give to those people finding the work progress hard are thus:

1. There is no rush. Nothing in the game is on a timer so don't feel obligated to use all your energy every day. I've posted previously about how quick running the early game will set you up nicely later on so never be afraid to just sleep the day away and the only necessity every week is paying the rent to avoid the massive love and lust hit with Jen.
2. I would recommend working the office job above muling drugs in the beginning as you can only work it 4 days a week where as the strip club can be worked every day, therefore the quicker you start the quicker you'll get to the promotions, but as always it's players choice.
3. Once you're promoted as manager, which should be around Wednesday of week 5, you can immediately take the break room upgrade for +10 morale cap. Morale effects the performance cap so if your performance reads 10 (20), it's because your morale is currently at 20 and this number cannot be exceeded. You'll want to increase both simultaneously but always try to keep morale around 3 points ahead of performance until you reach the first cap of 40 points otherwise those performance points will be wasted.
4. Once both morale and performance are at 40 just keep running funds until you can take terminal upgrades for another +10 morale cap. While the instinct will be to offer Jen the assistant job right away I personally wouldn't recommend this simply because it takes 2 days to integrate Jen into the office and you'll also miss out on some weekly events that only happen while she is working at the diner. I tend to only offer her the job once I'm close to the 40 cap and often have Lydia working at the office before Jen.

I do exactly the same thing and start a new game on reach release but I've never had problems balancing work and play. It might behoove you to do what I do and focus on working and gyming in the early game rather than running events as it only takes about 5 minutes to smash through the first 6 weeks or so using the weekdays to work/sleep and the weekends to run events. Also the quicker you get through the office the quicker you'll unlock all of the girls.

Thanks for the tips, I'll try that with my next playthrough !
