Thoughts on 1.12 so far:
1) Haven't really messed with the personality creator too much yet, sorry can't give too much feedback on that. The editor itself seems fine. I'd like some tagged variables for like, pet names. There's some pet names scattered about in some of the variables, but there's no single variable I can put in for a user to call FMC various things (I guess {friend} is pretty close, but to have "babe" and "friend" in the same context doesn't quite fit what I'm going for). Or it would be interesting if there was a way to create custom variables.
2) (BUG) I don't remember it doing this before, but if you schedule a stream, save, and then load the save, it unschedules said stream. This is only an issue if you spend money boosting the stream, because that money is still spent but you have to reschedule a whole new stream anyways, causing you to completely lose that money.
3) Is the "Toys and stuff" private stream the final one in this build? It was the last one I've gotten even when trying to corrupt her with landlord. I don't mind there being a limited number of unique streams, especially in the first build of them, but it does feel awkward for her to essentially cold turkey quit these side streams and subsequently lose out on her side revenue from them. Perhaps there could be some way of her "repeating" previous streams so she can keep earning side money behind MC's back, without necessarily requiring brand new unique scenes for all of them. Only downside I see to that currently is that the streams seem to be more or less linear in structure/storyline. I'd love to see more generic ones that have less to do with progressing her camgirl corruption and more just camming in general, so that she has steady list of streams to revisit.
4) (BUG) The perverted commenters seem to be slightly bugged, mostly in genre/game specific comments coming out of order. For example, I'll get a comment about horror games when the stream is not a horror game. Haven't noticed the regular comments doing this, only the perverted ones, although that could just be coincidence.
5) When doing TV dates with FMC, her TV is off. I don't think it was like this before. Not a huge deal but kind of funny for MC and FMC to be sitting on a couch staring at a blank screen.
6) When you miss rent for the third (or maybe second?) time, you get the kissing scene between FMC and Landlord. In it, she says she's never kissed anyone and was saving it for her (future) boyfriend. She says this even if you've already kissed her via pure route. Since the MC first time sex scene has alternate text if she's already had sex with the Landlord vs. still virgin, I figure it's worth pointing out the kiss scene as another spot where there's a "continuity" discrepancy that could be fixed with alternate text. (I know we had the discussion before about the myriad of combinations of dialogue to match certain progression/corruption points, but this I feel is simple enough to warrant mentioning)
7) Regarding the private streams again, I love that she subtly asks him for opinions on escalating it (asking for a friend, etc.) It's pretty hot thinking of her experimenting behind his back like that while openly telling him about it inconspicuously.
8) Love the new chat messages she sends you. I don't know if the dialogue options actually have any effect on her (like when she's flirting with you, does being agreeable make her love you more or vice versa? When she's with Landlord, does "encouraging" her to help him more increase corruption further, or telling her to stop helping him do anything?) but seeing her lie about the evidence of her infidelity was hot. Looking forward to this system being explored more, if that's planned.
9) From what I can tell, endings and such seem untouched, is that correct? Not a criticism or anything, just making sure I'm not missing something.

Overall, hidden streams alleviates early game struggles with money entirely(at the cost of "corrupting" FMC), however I currently fail to see a downside to pursuing this path. Her camgirl streams only go so far, and they don't affect the ending at all from what I can tell. For example, if you never fail to pay rent, you still get pure love ending of moving in together and living happily ever after even if you push her into all available hidden streams.
Animations do seem improved, thanks for that. Would love to have access to the free cam when you are free roaming and not just in journal scenes. Perhaps as a third purchasable cheat item?
Keep up the good work! This is definitely one of my top NTR games (in development) right now.
