(a) in my opinion it is quite possible to figure it out yourself on the first try
easy fix for that is either to make a save at the beginning of the date or use rollback... no need to beat yourself up and each girl has the same interaction pattern most of the time.
Well for the players who don't save scum through the game it can take many weeks to figure it all out and the game was already very grindy in the first place.
MotH didn't have a rollback feature like MwM does. But it did have a dialog history button that you could use to see what you may have missed. It's the second icon from the left, under the mood bar.
If you remember what you answered the first time, and what was wrong and what was right, it just does not take "many weeks". The most you can lose is two weeks on the shopping - and agreed, that is quite probable - but if you fail the dates that often you are just not paying attention. Again, most of the questions should be obvious, and those that are less so you get immediate feedback. From all you're saying it seems to me you are (mis)judging the game from a way earlier version than the finished one.
The game tells you how to change guest level when you switch manor from level 1 to level 2, but most of the player don't read what Julia says.
That requires reading, which most won't do because they're too invested in watching pixels fuck. Sad truth. Less wordy shit, more fuckin'. <insert Porn Hub jokes here>
To be pointlessly fair, I also felt that the setting was weirdly obscure. It seemed almost as if it hadn't been part of the original UI design and got squeezed in somewhere. Yes, you get told where it is, once, but ideally it's be easier to notice in the lobby nonetheless.
You need to hire the teacher (by visiting the other hotel) and then send them there weekdays in the morning.
with anybody or not?
The "clue", in case you forgot along the way in your playthrough, would be the "1" above the lobby. It's the only location that has a number above it. So there has to be a reason for that, right? Would it not make sense to click it to find out why it's there?
Actually bedrooms have numbers too ... and in the exact same style.
To be fair, you can't assign Julia to the bedrooms on the second floor to receive guests.Actually bedrooms have numbers too ... and in the exact same style.
I think that's my main issue. All rooms have a symbol, albeit on the opposite corner, but it's non-interactive (clicking it is the same as clicking the room). You can hover over it and something info pop ups. But if you hover over the number nothing happens. And there's just no indication that this specifically is a button. Buttons in the game typically have that glossy black background ... so this at least should have that too.
And possible a mouseover tool tip.
Anyway. You don't need to explain the button to me; I get it. But that doesn't mean the UI can't be improved.
The difference is that the rooms are clearly room numbers, and the lobby is the only room on the first floor to have one.Actually bedrooms have numbers too ... and in the exact same style.
I thought the game informed us to click on the number above the reception?
It does, but a lot of people don't listen to Julia. She does tend to go on about things...I thought the game informed us to click on the number above the reception?
Don't remember when, maybe at Hotel lvl 2? But really do think it informed me. I don't think that I just guessed.
That said, I may have just been clicking to see what things did.
You know, she does...It does, but a lot of people don't listen to Julia. She does tend to go on about things...
Ah, OK. Thanks.It does, but a lot of people don't listen to Julia. She does tend to go on about things...
If you check the previous page I have made a video of the part where Julia is telling about changing guest level...Ah, OK. Thanks.
That changes the dynamic of the problem a little. It's not a problem with the game, it's a problem with people not paying attention.
Yeah, having a contingency for that scenario might not be a bad idea.
As PyoT suggested, having a little pop up appear when hovering over the number is not a bad idea... although, if someone is already hovering over it, clicking it doesn't require much ingenuity?
I guess it wouldn't take much to include it & would save a lot of people with the problem.
lol there are probably more than 20 screenshots of it, scattered throughout the thread, too.
