Unity Completed Man of the House [v1.0.2c Extra] [Faerin]

[robbinrobbie]

And if you're not using the cheats (commendable!), the game can be a grind. Haha it's not surprising you're "only" on day 24 and not advancing (@Faerin has solicited feedback on how to balance the game to avoid situations where the grind is crushing, so I'm sure he will appreciate learning from someone playing the latest version cheat-free from the start).

As good as this game is, it drives me crazy for this reason. It is an absolute grind and nearly impossible to play without using the walkthrough/cheats. I try to play every game vanilla without cheating or using a walkthrough and couldn't get too far on my own with this one. I kept on alt-tabbing to check the walkthrough for next steps. Things like you be downstairs outside your mom's room at a certain time to progress the game. Sure it's simple when you know it because of the walkthrough, but without the walkthrough I would have never done that.

Yes, early elements of the game depend on you being in the right place at the right time. But you don't miss out on actions if you miss them initially. The game is constructed so that between each hour from 6am-24pm there are things to find, and wandering around the house at the 22-23pm mark are the least of your concerns haha. I suggest SAVING your game, then pulling up the map and forwarding each hour of each day to see where NPCs are each day and making note of it. Then restart from your save knowing where Mom, Ashley, Veronica, Amy, Sophia, etc are during weekdays and weekends, as it's pretty consistent--> Mom yoga 6am, breakfast 8am, Ash breakfast 9am, Veronica breakfast 10a, chores 12pm, Ash homework 5pm, etc etc etc. The groove can be a challenge, but once you see the pattern it's pretty straightforward apart from some random weekend events.

I used to like , A LOT , this game at start , i could forgive the grinding , because it was too early and the characters must first build up.

But now.. Now this grinding and constant peeking on the walkthrough has became unbearable.
The saddest thing is that you end up with a semi erotic scene , a 3-4 images gif despite having spend hours of annoying linear gaming.

I am not a patreon , but i have spent lots of time in this game . and time is more valuable than money.
So , i am out.

I hope Faerin will add more rich in game sequences and less grinding and linearity in the versions to come.


PS: DmD for instance , is 2 levels behind in terms of main characters' corruption levels , but the scenario and the general look and feel never dissapoints you no matter what.

The Walkthru should not be needed as much now @Faerin has implemented the hint system on the phone, the v0.6.6 will be the last official one, although I believe that @Carlo S will still be doing his walkthru's

Next Friday the 2nd Feb and Mom

Next Friday the 2nd Feb and Mom

thank you

I confirmed the wine/massage - star bug by starting a new game. If you give Claire the wine before the phone tip appears (at 20 hearts) you will never get the proper trigger to take her to her room (and get the pics). The game allows you to give her the wine as early as 10 hearts. This breaks the game if you do. Not sure if mood factors into getting the trigger.

Werid, I just tried this and it works fine for me...
Just to make sure, you are aware that you need to give her a bottle of wine, just before the foot rub, right?

@Faerin
i so do love that people say man of the house is a shit version of BB but i love it even more when i pretty tell them which would you rather want Netori = Man of the house which means theres heaven on earth or Big Brother =
bottom line Man of the house over threw Big Brother in terms of developer communication frequent updates no cucking best looking side character in all of porn games that ive played and enjoyable sand box gameplay when cheats were introduced

I hear you and once I started using the walkthrough, it was fine. However if most of the day mom and veronica's room is off limits, why would I decide to wander down to that hallway at 22:00, especially when their room shows up as "locked" on the map? And why would I decide to get coffee at 10AM to start the veronica story unless I otherwise knew it? Those are just two off the top of my head. Again - I really did like the game. The renders are beautiful, and the story is very well done. I just didn't think a lot of it was intuitive as far as how to progress the story - at least to me.

Those are some valid points and I agree with you.
That's part of the reason why, in the latest update, I have added the hints in the contact list to give you some more information.

We talked about it a lot here and on discord and concluded that it was too much of a "guessing game".
I'm also trying to make more events a bit more generic and less location/time based.
Most events do have to trigger at certain times or place, to make sense story-wise.
So the discovering will always be part of the game, however, with the hints it should become more manageble.

whats cg ?

 

[FritzGuy]

@Faerin I must admit certain time events ex: (walkthrough) Veronica , Weekday 18:00 to 18:59 optional spy on her in her bedroom for extra image is sort not really clear, seeing as phone indicates "Something about spying on her in her bedroom really turns me on"..indication as to when this can happen and what day, seeing that during the week she is always at dinner table during that time.

Actually that's an error in the walkthrough, this should be 23:00-23:59 (like all the other times you spy on her in her room). It's like @fauxplayer said, you can quite easily find out each girl's schedule as they repeat every day/week.

You can already see the hints, see their locations on the quick travel map and on the contact list.
To me, personally, I feel that there still should be some sense of gaming and discovery, otherwise I might as well just hand out the CG or write a webcomic.

I understand this is not for everyone, but like I said before, it will be impossible to create a game that everyone will love.

The grinding, however, is something that I feel that should be addressed and will be more balanced in the coming updates.
Now that the game has so much more content, I think we can reduce the repeating of events without harming gameplay.

 

[Carlo S]

Good morning Brothers ------- Man of the House has grown five times since launch so far, and continues to grow, so those who still try to say something against, will only be throwing words in the wind, these are the same ones that have spoken against other games, without any sense, and the players ignore them, when someone talks respectfully, I hear when he has a reason, and I shut up, why do not they do the same? And I add: Playing House Man @Faerin and all my Brothers know this, "It's the best time I have", without more words

 

[FritzGuy]

@Faerin...but, but..with so many to chose from...we need an agenda to keep track of them all . But really I understand the need of discovery and the fact of giving everything out on a silver platter, might as well write a webcomic, I did notice a note pad app in the phone, perhaps that could be an area to note down patterns and habits of the girls (if that was not the idea already).

Actually, that was the reason for adding that app, but it's just one of those things that has been on my to-do list for several months now

This was something I thought too and was about to say to u, Im glad u figured out all by yourself XD

Ehem, cof cof, maybe its becoming time to skip an update to adress that to do list at least partially, before it becomes a huge moster impossible to tame? Of course u could aim to make some stuff in between updates too, but I assume that could be problematic (and with a high chance of bugs showing up) and super time consumig, so the first idea has to be the best one... of course, u are the man with the wheel, dont make us crash into that rock ahead XD

Anyhow, I hope Mom will rock our world in this next update and can say with certainty that Im not the only one expecting that. Cheers!

pd/ Recently read in a post specifically made to know why ur game is so popular that somepeople believe we think of u in terms of a God figure of sorts... I just wanted to say that u are a regular human being to me, a nice guy, good dev and all, but a human being with flaws like anybodye else (but one that I could share a beer with, though XD)... just wanted to say this here in case anyone wants to read and open their eyes...

This is something that I have been considering for a while now, I prefer to just have some updates with some less content and fix these things, than not having an update alltogether.
I set that goal for the players, so they know when they can expect a new update and for myself, to have some sort of structure as well.

Regular human being!? Flaws!? How dare you!? You are treading on very thin ice my child!
(I'll have that beer now, please)
