Played this through to the end of the alpha content (I believe). I'm also a Roman history buff and I love the setting and graphic style, so keep up the excellent work on that front. My general points and observations:
1. My biggest gripe is that the UI is sluggish when transitioning time-of-day and through locations. Maybe consider streamlining the travel system and transition animations I don't see the purpose in the walking transition / inn scene at the moment. Might be worthwhile automating it. Skipping forward 30 minutes even after cancelled interactions seems a little extreme and breaks up the flow.
2. The minigame is tolerable, but after a few repeats could we get a skip or different types of punishments that reflect the owner's stats / girls' personalities?
3. I too got the guard bug, i.e. guards showing up in front of the bordello before they should.
4. I didn't get to explore the lawyer career path, I imagine its dependent on meeting someone in the Roman baths? I know its planned, but better signposting / a quest to explore this might be in order.
5. Interacting with the girls to improve knowledge / lower inhibitions seems fairly random at the moment. I think the game could do with making this more reliable / signposting with tags against each action. e.g. (-resistance, +knowledge, etc)
So far, so good. I want to reiterate I love the game's setting, art style and concept. Will be watching closely and after the next release you may see a contribution on Subscribestar from me.

Update on the "Exit to Main Menu" Issue:
After a lot of fashing about, we're unable to see this problem in any reliable manner. Quite frustrating. It appears to *somehow* be related to renpy install of other versions and persistent data. But maybe not... We can't find a method to go from install to bug. We've uploaded various people's save files to see if it is save related and it doesn't appear.
So, we have to move on. If someone here has a reliable method to go from fresh install to produce this bug, we'd love to hear from you. Until then, we're going to release the bug patch for 3.1 and get back to work on 3.2. This issue has been a big distraction.

This bug happens when runs scene with Alfidia (iclicito thing), with the transitions skiped in the options menu.

Here is the bug fix 3.1.1 release - this mega link is good for a few days.
Fixes:
Please note that we do not yet have a handle on the 'goes to main menu' problem when talking to Alfidia. Best advice is to clear persistant data.

Fixes:
- -fixed a bug in lawcourts which was causing a crash near the end
- -fixed a crash happening with rumors in the baths
- -fixed a crash which would occur in bordello
- -fixed parmida animation (added hand to spanking)
- -added an extra failsafe in bordello code to prevent conditions from running when they shouldn't be
- -fixed a bug regarding the wrong dialogue appearing for slaves when staying/following, preventing them from getting stuck as well as clearing up their behavior when not working in the bordello
- -fixed the bug with the guards/servants appearing before they're unlocked, locked their "autobuy" behind the same unlock as manually buying them
- -fixed the issue with NPCs overlapping z-order on talk portraits

I'm guessing that persistent is the save files in the game folder and in the appdata folder? I've deleted them all, started new game, turned transition on and off, still not working.
Could it have something to do with unren?

It's possible we've located the exit-to-menu issue. More info to come
Surprised to see this game up to version 3 since with all the missing content it seems at least 3 years away from being half way done.

Thanks man, your support is really helpful!
The last update (a bug fix) was less than a week ago, it's available on the same page of the thread your post is on if you bothered to read.. If you're talking about just the main page / content update, it was two weeks ago. Many games under "active development" go months and months without updates, and you're implying that development has stopped here after two weeks?

Oh, you mean like beating your slaves until they give in and submit, then raping them? Man, I wish we had considered that idea. Well unfortunately you're probably going to have to settle for non-consensually beating your slaves until they give in and submit, and then raping them. Maybe we can consider adding the ability to support non-consensually beating your slaves until they give in and submit and possibly even raping them - in a later release.
Thanks for your support!
As for the beating to submit and raping, the game would become pointless in this way.
Just like in reality, violence maybe the most direct way to solve an issue. Such a simple and brutal mechanist will make the game boring and without challenge.
However, I think the non-con displinary punishment of spanking mechanics of this gmae is good enough or maybe further enhancement?

I feel as if this should maybe be some kind of a FAQ.
Slaves in the Roman imperial era (high empire) were of course used for sex. Under some circumstances, in some conditions. Fasti is a hereditary slave born of slaves. She comes from a farm/trade background in the provinces. Inka is a war captive. Parmida is a foreigner. All of these girls are young, and none are exposed to the decadence of the city of Rome.
Certain sex acts and personal grooming can be considered as 'normal' in Roman society. Other sex acts like oral sex in any form is regarded as the most perverse of all acts. It's thought to be basically the dirtiest thing, most objectifying.
Working as a whore is the lowest status in Roman society. It is one thing to provide service to your owner, another thing entirely to have to fuck strangers, plebs, foreigners, even other slaves.
So, these girls are not trained whores. They have to be broken to their role, trained, kept from killing themselves or you, etc.

I love this game but too many bugs.the game freezes and then crashes whenever i travel and always happens within 2 min of playing .pls before cont. the story try to fix the bugs along the way....man this game 1 of the top games in my opinion.
One feature that would be great is positive reinforcement. Rewarding always works better than punishing. Maybe put in some type of reward system for the slaves if they agree to the training.
