Some things I did noticed:
- During paydays/bills paying, the game softlocks you, the only way I've managed to solve it was by quicksaving, return to the menu, and then load it.
- Some skills aren't raising/showing up in the stats tab, don't know if it's a bug or if it's not available yet.
- The needs bar raises very quickly, luckily we don't pass out or die yet, but it's something to take notice.
Thanks for the feedback and bug reports, I'll look into them for the next update.
Seems good but very bare bones at the moment.
- Cant work your job it seems, there is no option to start work.
- Npc's dont interact with you yet, no implemented AI.
- No option to drink water at home which is odd.
- Can't see very basic things about NPC's when looking at them like ass size or breast size which is very odd, I can tell someone has stretch marks through their pants with my superman vision but I cant see how big their ass is.
- Can't even access the sex scenes yet to assess them, should have added a debug for this to just start them.
- Oh yeah basically no way to gain favour with NPC's, as you are limited to a set number of interactions per arbitrary time period, rather than letting you infinitely fire them and having them just get annoyed at repetition.
So yeah, lots of work and a few odd choices already. Also I really dont like the millions of different body types or eye types or whatever with no descriptor. How am I to tell the difference between some of these with no text to tell them apart? If it isnt integrated into a full description of the character its a bit arbitrary. You get to the point where someone being skinny or obese has no impact on anything except that one word in their character profile somewhere. I would suggest narrowing it all massively and using them as tags for broader descriptions to call upon.
Keep at it though dev don't be dismayed, there is very little choice for a great open ended sandbox that doesn't have massive flaws. Take all the good things from newlife and liliths throne and yadda yadda and trim the bad stuff. Make it modular, plan for expansions but build a nice base to start out. etc etc
And for the love of god if you are going to give us all these penis sizes you better make them actually mean something in the sex interactions, have soft cap and hard cap hole capacities and all that stuff, dont wimp out now you chose this path.
The shifts are scheduled in your phone, you need to be at the location within 30 minutes of your shift start time to begin work. From other feedback I've gotten it may be bugged for the Nightclub and Bartender jobs, I'll have to look at that.
Correct, NPCs don't approach you or have independent AI yet aside from moving around throughout the day.
Minimal drinking and restroom spots is a known issue I'll address in the next update.
Oversight on my part, thanks for letting me know.
NPCs take some patience to get to the point where you can get intimate with them. A debug/cheat menu is planned.
Yes, there is intentionally a cooldown on interactions to avoid going straight from strangers to FWB or committed partners in the span of a few minutes. The cooldowns may need to be tweaked slightly though, I'll look into that.
Body types and such are currently minimally implemented, no impact on gameplay yet but intended to eventually affect things, such as being able to work out to change physique and body shape and such. This applies to all body parts for now.
Thanks for the feedback!
This seems interesting. But what type of game this is aiming to be?
A Sandbox with Procedural Generated contents that players create their own fun?
Or a Heavily Narrated experience with Handcrafted contents, with player free roaming in between?
Anyway, good luck on the development.
It's a bit of both. The main gameplay loop is definitely sandbox with random events and a 'make your own fun' style, but there are also narrative storylines planned that you'll be able to find and go through. One is already in the game via the auto repair shop with many more planned.
Can we play this gay or lesbian only, and will there be femboys and can we make our player character one?
Yes, yes, and yes. You can choose who you date or interact with, choose your character's sexuality (though you can still technically date anyone), and you can play as a femboy by selecting style choices and such that fit that aesthetic. Makeup and such are a planned feature to make this more possible.
You can be a cis female with a dad bod, I don't know if that's intended.
You can't go back during character creation if you changed your mind on something.
The only places I found that would give you a job so far my MC isn't qualified for.
Sometimes when clicking on an option it doesn't work properly. I bought a calzone and it changed some of my stats, but not hunger and thirst. This seems to be a recurring problem with food and drinks.
You can't drink at home to satisfy thirst.
Most places don't have a restroom, so you have to either go home or go to the public ones. I thought this wasn't a dystopia?
Kind-of intended, kind-of not. There's currently no filtering for body type based on identity at the moment because it was easier to leave out for now, but I'll work on this in the future.
I'll look into adding a "go back" option, but really the description you get while making your character should help you determine what you like. Being able to change your character's appearance in game via hairstylists, cosmetic surgery, etc. are planned features.
There are currently six careers in the game: fast food, fitness, bartender, nightclub/stripper, retail, and medical clinic. More will be added to account for all backstories eventually.
Weird, might just be an oversight when I was copy/pasting actions to populate rooms. Whoops.
See above for drinking at home.
Lack of restrooms will be fixed in an update, thanks.
With these text based games I always have the same request.
Please for NPCs. Let us be able to place custom pics into at least the character bio screen. I don't need avatars on the screen (although would be nice) but when we click the name it'd be nice to be able to instantly recognize the character we are interacting with. Also I don't need the dev to spend time crafting up images and the like, just some code that looks up thisgame\npc\somepicturefolder\THISPERSON.jpg and displays it on screen. I don't know how unreasonable such a thing is to ask but it definitely would draw me to playing such a game more.
This is a request I've received a couple of times but am not 100% sure how I'd like to implement yet. I'm not opposed to the idea, just need to let it simmer for a bit so I can implement it well.
While I can respect that I shouldn't be so suspicious of an .exe game, I'm afraid that remains the case. I commend the efforts made here and I wish you all the best of luck, but an .exe is a bit too much of a risk for an erotic game. Thank you for allowing it to be shared, regardless!
P.S. the screenshots looks a lot like a Twine format -- if this were in Twine in HTML, I can't speak for everyone but I'm a lot less wary of that engine.
Anyhow, good luck with your game!
A lot of the things I want to do with the game and am planning simply aren't possible with Twine/HTML and the limitations imposed by browsers on HTML games. Or, at least, not without heavy use of JavaScript and such which I dislike. Godot is something I'm much more familiar with and can do a lot more, so that's the path I chose. I respect being wary of random EXEs, just wanted to explain my thought process a bit.
