Has a lot of potential, cyberpunk is an under rated theme imo so it's cool to see it again

Right now, I'm just planning to implement tags in the game. Of course, new ideas can be added in the future.

another cyberpunk themed game.. hope this one wont get abandoned...
got some minor issues you might want to consider..
1) time skip.. i find it stupid i have to leave the club to skip time... why cant we skip time while inside a building..? all those extra clicks of exiting and entering just to skip time is just a waste of time...
2) bar work.. why do we need to talk to vi every time before we unlock the option to help pedro out? cant he say the same things about being tired when we reach the supposed max? another waste of time..
3) quest tracker... might want to add some opacity box around it.. in some places its hard to notice it...
4) quests in general.. adding a quest tab to either quick menu or some floating button would be better then having to randomly right click and then pick the quests tab..
5) considering there isnt currently much to do and this is an exploration game... having some map prompts when there is new content in some map location would save time for curious people that click on every location at every time shift only to find nothing...
6) you seem to have removed the 'A' key binding that lets users change font size... would be nice to have that option back.. either enable the 'A' key back or add some scroller to the options menu..
best of luck with this game!
edit: does the current version end after the bj from Vi? been skipping days and no new quest seem to be popping up... might want to add an end of content display in quest menu when all available quests are done...

Has a lot of potential, I love the cyberpunk theme. New releases need good planning so take your time and do it right and people will support you. Please don't make the MC a whimp...(there is a lot of that going on lately on many games...) Thank you!
First of all, scroll back function for real. Not having it just makes people reload the last choice. That also becomes more of an annoyance than anything and with a sandbox what you need to less annoyance where possible. Also maybe tone down the QTEs. They can be there, but they seem to take the full time bar to execute and if you're equating that to the skill its supposed to translate to, serving drinks, it feels a little much.
Second I like the vibe of this world.....off cyberpunk works for me. I know there is a lot of lore dumping needed to catch people up on the world, but be careful not to do what I call "over writing". Its not bad writing, but overly indulgent. People going on expository dumps that don't feel natural or worse people speaking like its a pretentious play beating people over the head with how clever you think you are or save it for character that need it like villains. People do get tired of reading when it drags on and on. What's here is good, and I'm excited to see more.

First, this one has an interesting premise and some potential to grow into something good. The plot and the game world certainly have the potential to some player immersion and engagement.
I tried to play the update but was only able to finish the prologue. Not more. Because the minigame (help Violet with serving drinks) right at the beginning of the "open world" start is much too hard. Impossible for me to succeed and therefore to progress. I'm no hater of minigames from time to time if they are engaging, fun and not too grindy. But harshly timed QTE's aren't fun, in particular when they are ridiculously hard to win, but mandatory to progress further.
-> My proposal for the minigames:
- please make them skippable/optionable for players who don't like (or can't) play them and much easier for players who like to spend time on them. Many players will completely quit the game otherwise.
- try to balance the use of the QTE's to tasks that are engaging enough for any challenge
- count the time limited ones in or give them a START button
- give an option to save the game before the minigame and/or the option to scroll back to the starting point
Outdoor navigation is currently limited to the map. Don't know if you plan to expand to on-screen-navigation with arrow directions to bordering districts/locations later on? Additionally, I agree to Spawn420' s proposal of a map tracker.
In my opinion the voice acting is not such a great benefit and should be considered to be taken out.
The bits that are currently there aren't technically bad, even some occasional audio dropout or audio cut clipping is audible that needs to be polished. Furthermore the male and female voice are on too different levels - the male voice is much less present while the female voice (Harmony) is too much! I'd guess it's not only due to unbalanced voice compression, but also the formant frequencies of the female voice (no offense here intended, but Harmony's voice timbre is also kind of annoying, to be honest, especially when raising her voice)?!
Of course, generally voice acting could add some flavour to the characters, dialogues and interactions. But so far it just don't add much positive to the game for me, only the urge to mute it. I'd have doubts if the ambitious and huge amount of additional development work to implement full voice acting to "Noctis" would be really worth it?! Beside the general fact that it increases update time and update file size significantly. But please do your thing here independant from my opinion.
From the prologue only, the introduced characters and the game world are a bit bland and blank. The "pep talk" between MC and Harmony goes in the right direction of creating a bit more depth, but was also a bit too long-winded for me. But the overall writing is generally decent and that's a neat foundation to build up on.
So far, player (dialogue) choices are not much relevant/existant for any directions on plot or character progress.
Due to the very early development state options for some player agency are of course still very limited. I hope with some more updates that all will change and improve.
Good luck with the further development, Studio Nox. I'm looking forward to progress once you hopefully changed the minigame...

A proposition:
Avoidable prostitution/NTR for the female characters.
The female characters could find themselfs in some compromising situations. Now I say NTR, but them actually willingly cheating on the MC, would not fit, especially with the current tone of the relationships.
But as a backstory (like an old porn recording), sex bots that are build as their double, working part time as escort before we get deeper in the relationships, being blackmailed by gangsters....
Or you can actually tell a story of a character torn between falling for the MC and their current lifestyle that they feel allows them freedom or financial security.
The storehouse running out of workers, may cause the blond amazon running it to try to add incentives to keep her workers.
I dont mean it should be centered around it, but atleast a few scenes to establish just how brutal the setting can be.

Oh its stinky indeed.
Blood, guts and all the body liquids.
But its not just my fucked up fetishes on display. Its the nature of cyber punk that it smells. Its a setting where the love interest of the main character is a professional bodyguard that works as escort when out of proper jobs. To her it makes no difference, in both walks of life she sells her body.
Its a setting in which people consider their bodies flawed meat bags that can be improved via cybernetics and ultimately via transending ones humanity.
I mean he has nailed the look of the genre I just propose to give a quick turns around the themes that comes with said genre.
Again sad cucking porn is not whats needed here. Once you lock down a woman it should be possible and advisible to avoid any and all NTR.
I think a good example for what i mean I would point to A Struggle With Sin. Tons of NTR, but all of it is optional and is entirelly up to how you roleplay your character.

couldnt tell you about either the genre ( cyberpunk) or the game ( A strugle with sin)
never played games with the theme since I preffer sword and sorcery and historic mythoplacy and as for the second, anything that has even remotely a sniff of cuck content in whatever shape or form, goes in my ignore list alongside the dev.
I did like Blade Runner though. excellent movie.
best of health always.
Fair enough. I am same with vore.
For all its worth I also dont like most NTR games. Usually they are about cucking some poor bastard. Now games about open relationships and being a pimp, are also technically NTR, but not really the same thing.
By the way you shold try A Struggle with Sin:
https://f95zone.to/threads/a-struggle-with-sin-v0-6-0-5d-chyos.32136/
Its a Sword and Sorcery game about a orphan that needs to make his way into the world. Now there is a definite NTR content to the game, but its completely optional. Basically its a very harsh dark fantasy setting, where people in power try to take advantage of people. You literally start with nothing, but a knife and a bow. The local mayor even steals your house and you need to get the money to get it back. The difficulty is high enough to where its actually interesting to play and you will often avoid fights in the beggining.
