Ok, v6.6.8. I didn't see any obvios bugs.
I think there is a minor issue with Veronica's chain. You can visit her doing chores and then do the sofa event during same time window. Sort of continuity issue.
Also didn't check if the bug needing low mood to do mom's yoga chain is fixed yet.

Crack nuckles and getting ready for another playthrough review. v6.6.8!

I didn't think i needed any tips this time as i have finished the game a few times at 100% already.
I admit.. I caved in on day 6 and locked my mood stats through phone. Micro management of mood is still not an option if you want to have fun playing. The sleep and waking up with stress level is the most obvious but since the game plays out based on thoes stats and you can only manage this in your home, or the store items, it's not worth it.

The grind. This has been a topic many times and we are getting to a point with a lot more content to concider. The grind is becomming a time sink. (Yes the phone still works, but i will never review a game based on how you can cheat it)
No cheat and completing the basic girls stats is still ok. It's more about how boring it becomes at times. Like needing Clair to peep on you in the morning 20 times for arousal to raise. Maby have the option to award 2 point when she sees you naked. Gives the player a feeling of progress and less overall time sink. This is a constant balance but the more content you add the grind must be blanced between timesink/reward.
(Think 20 uppdates in the future and you wanna do another playthrough..)

Now my mandatory nag about the Sex Shop! There is no connection between Amy and Clair so we have the same issue as with all previous versions. Yup, the damn Sex shop! It's like a road block on every path (Exept Ashley) This road block forces the player to take a pre designed route and in my opinion player choice is crippled a lot. Having diffrent items in the sex shop should work just as it does with the Lingerie and maid dress in the mall. They appear when the quest requires them to. If we could actually FIND the sex shop that is (Wink, wink;))

Ok, v6.6.8. I didn't see any obvios bugs. I can take a picture of Veronica in her room with no panties before i actually ask her to take them off from the event after Laundry scene. The phone tip never told me anything about texting Ashley for the date night so i did actually have to look that up here in the thread. On my wish list i still have short-cut key commands. An old mmo raider like me can't be bothered with mouse when shit goes down:winkytongue: Obviosly a QoL feature.

The new Ashley dates worked fine. A little pussle you can keep note of and learn as you go. The reward when you complete a date.. yum:) I still have Ashley sitting on the tub as my personal favourite but all in all this was a perfect uppdate:D I did note some future concerns as well because stopping an avalange is easier before the snowball starts to roll then after it's halfway down the hill ..

Cheers Mate :cool:
Thanks a lot for taking the time to write this all down @JohnPonn!
Feedback like this helps me so much!

Actually, the grind is right now my major concern and something I will be addressing in the next patch.
You might have not noticed (being an experienced player) that the date with Ashley was actually made available pretty early in the game, for the same reason. I figured the dates could be an extra way of earning some hearts (especially once there are some more dates to choose from).

Another idea I have for the next version is adding to possibility of giving one of the presents to the girls once a day (or week) for a nice number of hearts (to lessen the grind a bit).
What do you guys think of that?
(These items could work for a bigger gain of one stat, or a smaller one of each and one item would work better on one girl than the other.)

Another (and relatively easy) solution would be just doubling the stat gains on all events that award 1 stat.
This would effectively half all the grinding.
Again, please let me know what you think guys.

About the sex shop, I'm not sure about this one.
On one hand I agree with you, on the other I feel this adds to the gameplay and having to "work" for the reward you want (= the girl you like).
I did always say that you would be able to pursue the girl you like, so I do agree that this doesn't match that.
Hmm..choices ;)

There is no phone tip about the date, as this is not part of the main story and will be a standard feature for all girls pretty soon. I did, however show a tutorial about this when you loaded the game, which should be some help ;)

The shortcuts are on my list (granted, they are towards the bottom, to be honest).

Thanks again, I really appreciate this and would love to hear your (and everyone else's take) on these suggestions!

I think the grinding issue is because of the repetitiveness of the scenes. For example, to win hearts with Sophie, you must help her with workout and is always the same scene. But also if we can win hearts by giving her a gift, having a small talk or sending a text occasionally, the fun would be greater. I also know that your second option is more easy and mine add a lot work, but you asked for opinions ;)

@Faerin Thanks for you reply:)

The option to doubble the stat gain might become needed in the future but i also understand it's the least fun way to solve the issue. I do love the more direct and simple approach of shop items you can give the girls. 1, it makes sense.
2, it would give the player more insentive to work (Pizza delivery/Workout). Cruel as i am i wanna see a harder grind on the work places to gain higher level. Could be you need to actually deliver a 100 Pizza's to uppgrade the skill but added cash bonus on the higher level. Same for workout. :evilsmile:

I did miss the option for Ashley early on as i was focused on getting all v6.6.7 complete before i started this part. My eyes will be open next playthrough;) The Sex-shop issue is about getting the location. The items can be added as they are needed for any path your on. Veronicas panties is still needed for the oil tho. It's just that the cross over here doese'nt fit the story very well. Clair is home all day and you work her from a completely diffrent angle then Amy and Veronica at the Neon Club. The phone tip for Veronica was "get a drink with Amy" and the phone tip for Amy was "Keep working on Clair for now" .. Hmmm Well you get what i'm saying:) The dildo could be added after you have your first encounter with Amy as a slave in her apartment and so on.

Shortcuts. I said it's a QoL and thats the mmo term for "Quality of Life" Not actually needed features but making the gameplay feel more smooth and less stressful. Hovering mouse over hour glass just to get the option between 30 or 60 minutes is one of thoes things. A quick key for 60m (W) and (E) for 30m solves this. Add (Q) for quick travel and you get them all in a nice little square on the board, hehe I don't know how hard adding things are in Unity but the little experience i have of programming and webdesign shortcuts was usually a simple thing to add. Most games have them in some form. I keep pressing the (H) key to hide the interface (Everytime Ashley is on screen :eek:penedeyewink:) just becuse this is programmed in my mind from a lot of other games i played.

Love the idea on items :extremelyhappy:
Cheers mate :cool:
