The hints button is meant to only be used when you get stuck. The main reason I decided on sandbox is because I enjoy looking for content, it breaks up the game and stops it being an overload of constant text. If I put it on the HUD, people would feel like they should just use it all the time, in which case I might as well just make a linear VN, which isn't what I want.

Same reason why the photoshoots aren't hinted. After unlocking the photostudio, there's only a couple of instances that require you to have done photoshoots and they're only there to remind you to check the photostudio now and then. You don't need to do most shoots as soon as they're available, they can mostly be done whenever you feel like it. Unless you need money, but again I've purposefully not done anything that requires money for a while.

I'm still debating that particular issue of should money be used more and if so, should I add an alternate way to acquire it? If I did do something that requires a lot of money which would make the photoshoots mandatory, I may add in a system of alerting you when there are some available.
When you say it like that it makes sense lol....regarding money, I enjoyed doing the photoshoots and the characters you meet, so I would suggest adding more and make then mandatory, don't know if that would be popular but seeing as how photography is supposed to be the MC new job this makes sense to me...other than that i cant wait to see what's next....keep up the good work mate (y) :D

Anybody else have non responsive buttons when accessing the MC computer for both the logout and back buttons?
Honestly this is 1 of very few games where I haven't encountered any bugs...few typo's here and there...mainly just a letter missing from what i remember...but nah no trouble with any buttons on the PC.

Yeah well, Loaded an old save not sure from which version. I've unlocked the studio in the save though but in
v0.12 Beta 1 for some reason the studio is not in the nav map.

Money is a huge problem in basically all games that have any, getting the balance between sources and sinks right is very difficult. Too far one way, and it takes a bunch of grind to be able to afford the things you need, too far the other and it's trivial and may as well not even be there.

You answered your own complaint...:rolleyes:
My Complaint was that in the Old save that I used, from an older version of the game (Version number that I don't remember) I had already unlocked the Photo-studio. But when loading the save in the new game version the Studio was not available in the Navigation map. But when clicking on the Hints for some of the characters it would say 'I should invite <Character> to the studio'.

I just started a new game and overwrote the old save its all good for now.

MC need a job for $100 to help a friend ineedmoney dont work :) so my ? is how to make money in the game ?
Ways to make money is as easy as, taking photos of your friends and uploading to the computer in your room, as well as going to the Photo Studio and doing Photo shoots there, then uploading those photos on the computer in the studio.

Are you talking about the current beta? Because if yes maybe (i don't play the betas) that is because this leaked version wasn't ready for public and a lot of content is missing.
