One “Like” is not enough for this.
I planned on playing through this game as a mean guy who would break the slaves and then sell them off as they cried or whatever, but that shit fell apart almost instantly. The writing is just too good. Now I can’t bring myself to get rid of any of them. (I actually give a shit whether or not Rebecca likes me.) So there are a bunch I don’t have.
Am I supposed to be able to interact and do stuff with them when they are in the annex? I have one girl there, but I can only view her stats or swap her out. The interaction buttons are greyed out.

for now, its a swap out system. GD seriously underestimated the gotta catch him all addictiveness of his game when he started developing the game. he figured that folks would pick a few and sell the rest.

WRONG. WAIFU HAREM ACTION ENGAGE!

the raising of the slave cap via the annex was a quick fix the the weeping and lamenting by hardened slavemasters that didnt want to lose their precious favorites, but still wanted to taste more of the fruits that they could see but couldnt touch without sacrificing one of their devoted slaves.

let GD Do a lap and flesh out the game world like he planned to. he will loop back around soon. discussions are already in progress (have been for awhile) on a revamp of the slave system, raising capacity thru other structures and businesses, and incorporation of a random npc slave system that will allow you to acquire (buy/capture/blackmail/drug/awarded/the list goes on), train and sell slaves that you HOPEFULLY wont get attached and cant bear to part with.

otherwise GD will have to figure out a way expand the player mansion to allow 25 rooms. but other games have tried that, and its too much. so much micromanagment. you cant possibly manage that many women and keep your sanity, let alone it being "FUN"...

... right? RIGHT?

Subject of NSFW blocking, it also blocks the text telling you how aroused your partner is during sex scenes. Makes it harder to tell if she's having a good time or not.

I can still judge things from the main description, so there's no urgency, but it would be nice to have that back at some point.

wouldnt that defeat the purpose of the NSFW blocking feature? imagine your wife/girlfriend/boss/friend/coworker walking past you and seeing a description the MC shoving his huge member into your slaves mouth/pussy/asshole, causing her to shriek in agony/orgasm.

try explaining that one buddy.

at best, it would earn you some funny looks and whispers behind your back. some light mocking perhaps. at worst, FIRED from work, or your relationship.

 

[ShinCore]

Yeah, similar. Speaking of which: GD-studios how about a restart/return to main menu button somewhere?

It's no big deal: I can always close the tab and re-open it. It's just something I keep wishing existed.

restart button is in now on the test version. please observe my professional tutorial skill in action:



i know. your welcome.

 

[ShinCore]

Thanks for the detailed response, Gravity. I appreciate it.
One question: if there is no payoff for the rough stuff then what is it for? Is the bondage stuff ever useful, or just eye candy for the player?

I'm really enjoying the game, too. Scratches both the RPG and porn itch.

the payoff is to raise corruption faster for the the spicy stuff. also, some ppl like it.

Sweet. Have a "like"

On the one hand, boobies will catch the eye from across the room, and bring people over to examine more closely. Text isn't near so eye catching.

On the other, the text description isn't actually hidden in NSFW mode, so to the extent that text descriptions pose a risk, it's still present in the current build. It's the numbers that tell me if the slave is enjoying herself or not that get omitted.

Personally, just hiding the pictures would do.

 

[ShinCore]

Yes, you can. In fact that's the only route. Other routes have too many problems.

You need have HIGH charm AND manipulate. (over 75.) or at-least high CHARM.

How to:
1. Get into interaction mode with any girl and chose TALK. Click ENCOURAGE and then COMPLIMENT twice. So 3 in total. If you roll successfully you get affection up 3 times.
2. Don't try ANY of the rough stuff - unless you have upgraded YARD with Defenses and even then the girls can run away. No payoff with the rough stuff.
3. EVERY morning click on FACCILITIES and select BATHE WITH SLAVE, chose NORMAL and then the top 2 options ONLY. (Rub you, Run her). Affection Increases.


After a while when affection is good,
1. Select DOMINANT in Bathe option and chose the 1st option only. (Run You) Willpower will go down.
2. Get the girl to give you a Morning BJ in the house Rules section. It may not start immediately, as it depends on her affection. Though the minute this starts (you'll get a rush) a successful HUMILIATE roll wilower willpower indefinitely, all the way to -15. Alternate between COMPLIMENT AND HUMILIATE each day, don't go through with the BJ everyday. No point in that.

Tip: Don't chose the prostitution option in the market - it lowers happiness by 2POINTS not %, which is huge. It's tough to counter it early game.

How do you get high charm?
1. Work at Assembly factory and click SOCIALIZE. Work only when its Great Assembly Line with low risk.
2. Read the PERSUADE section books, buy them from the bookstore.
3. Do specific courses in the academy that boot charm, manipulate.
4. Start with high charm trait. I chose True Love and Frightening.

I've been playing this game for hours on end, skyrim style - which is start -> reach a certain level ($250 per day income without me teaching..., 2 slaves with high affection and negative willpower. etc) -> restart.

Because its a one man show it has a lot of balancing issues. But its a real fun game, music is awesome. I hate renpy novels now...

I'm thinking of writing a guide, though am not sure how many are playing this one.

A few caveats:

1. you can, in fact, raise corruption without lowering willpower, using the power of ORGASMS. high willpower and high corruption is very interesting!
2. always compliment her intelligence. in the beginning, it raises 3 stats (happiness, kindness and affection), the other options only raise her happiness and affection. after her kindness hits the max, then you can choose the other ones.
3. definitely DONT start off the the rough stuff until she likes you at least moderately. if you do, be prepared for her to be PISSED and try to run away. depending on the girl, you might be able to get away with it if shes ok with having sex with you you have high bdsm skills. most of they time players dont and fail at spanking to start off with, pissing her off.
4. when her affection/respect is good, use the dominant shower option and then do the first two actions, but dont have her give you a blowjob. this will still lower her willpower without pissing her off, but decently lower her willpower.
5. DO the morning blowjob everyday, when possible. it gives a skill gain boost for training and reading books, if i remember correctly, for that day. you can use the humiliate option, but be aware that its hit or miss she doesnt like you, and your havent upgraded your mansion to decent levels. if she does like you, and you have upgraded your mansion (especially the bedroom), even with a relatively low manipulate skill she will respond submissively.
6. a low manipulate/charm skill can be mitigated with high respect and upgrading your mansion to decent levels. this will provide overall bonuses to all interactions with your girls. respect is gained the fastest thru bringing your girls along with you in combat. if you win, respect. if they get hurt and go down, and you save them respect. if you lose and they go down and you save the, respect.

you cant lose by bringing your girls with you to combat, in that respect.

and yes, that was deliberate.

oh. ive never tried out the hide nsfw option. i dont play this game in public. learn something new everyday.

To be honest, I was just messing around one lunchtime trying out the new stuff in a recent release. I turned NSFW on so anyone passing by my desk didn't get an eyeful.

it's not a big deal, but I thought the report might be helpful

 

[Hans98]

Great Game! I really love it but i think the wearables (Dress for 300$ and Rope-cloth-thing) are a little expensive for onetime use. After use they are no longer in the menue. Is this a bug or meant to be?

I can try...

Thanks!

Dressing a slave in any attire will remove that clothing from your inventory. But once you put something else on her, the one she was wearing reappears and can be used on another slave. It's always better to buy a couple of extra sets so you can use them on any one of your five available slaves.

I've noticed that no matter how high I get corruption during the day, it's back down to 59 by the next morning.

That feels like it can't be the actual cap, both because it's a weird number and because the description changes ("massive"->"demonic") somewhere above that, so what's the deal? Is there some mechanic I'm missing that is limiting it?

Posted your question on the discord, pinged GD. Will respond with his answer.

from the discord:

GrimDark — Today at 9:53 PM
A girl with a Corruption value of 50 or above is considered a fully-fledged sexually/emotionally devoted slave. You can theoretically push it up to 100, but those are just temporary buffs, usable throughout the current day, before they bounce back. 59 is a "landing number" when the buffs reset. I'll change it to 60 so it looks a bit better.

 

[mostlylurk]

Are you referring to the MC calling his slaves... "slaves"? You're already set with enough tools to treat your girls as wifus or "buddies". But I guess you'd like to see a shift in dialogues as well?

The entire point is that for some of them they wouldnt/shouldn't be considered slaves and all the stuff related to that. n particular, let's consider a girl you save and offer to say with you. After eenough interactions, while you're free to treat her well, there is basically no difference with a girl you bought. She will still like everything you do, you can still order her around to clean your house, you still talk to her as any other slave (or , a slave you treat well, but still slave). If someone gives me a save, i wont be ablel to tell that this girl was not bought

Is that a challenge?

 

[mostlylurk]

GD-s
Any plans to let us deal with the general store owner? After dealing with the crew they reveal he is a real piece of shit and wouldl be nce to deal with him. What about go and free/steal/save (depending on each player) from other slave owners ? I'm particularly thinking about the old guy (old cooney?) we beat up and that we hear the screams of punishment before doing so

 

[ShinCore]

Is that a challenge?

bro... dont do it.
