Long post ahead.
Hello, 1st time poster here, being a management games junkie and a big fan of adult games , i first wanted to really thank the dev for his work, because such advanced management adult games are so rare and i really got into the game. I just played 2 consecutives games and thought i'd share some thoughts for the the dev and my fellow researchers (ps: sorry for the english, it isn't my native).
The game might be a bit complicated at 1st so before anything else i thought about sharing a few starting tips to newer fellow players:
1) the loan, the dev made it possible to make a loan of 200k at the bank and i'd advice anyone to take it day 1 with the the 4 months delay, and rather than trying to farm a few scraps with hookers, use the 1st few weeks to greatly increase the player stats and also focus on recruiting the unique NPCs as models, especially Lena Van Houten at the bar.
2) Focus mainly on your INT at 1st, it will allow you to see more of the girls stats, needs and passives which is greatly helpfull to recruit girls easly and with the right passives. As for the best passive, look for Nymphos (you got one for free in Lena). Nymphos restore their hapiness when they get banged, meaning you can shoot with them every day at max or almost max hapiness (the lowest i had was 85). Now once you have a company, and have them sign a contract that would allow you to use them freely.... Nympho is also the rarest trait, i'd say i doesnt even have a 5% chance of spawning in an NPC but when you see it, GRAB IT. On my 2nd game i got like 10 of them and after increasing their stats through training and chirurgy.... just those 10 under contract getting banged 6 days/week..... you can do the maths. Also in the options of a model, you can set how many scenes weekly can this model do, it took me a while to see it myself.
3) Other than Lena, the other unique NPCs all have also good stats, even without the Nympho trait they can be easly obtained for "free" if you just follow their dialogues, therefore while farming your stats at the begining you shouldnt forget to scout them out, they're a good lilte bunch to start your videos. All of them can be either models or PAs, but taking them as PAs is a waste IMO, except for the nurse being the only one having a negative trait which cancels her positive one. I dont know if in the future the dev will include some special bonus if you take the special NPCs as PAs, but atm there aren't, you're stil getting the bonus traits from them even if you take them as models.
Now as for the dev, i won't go as far as making a rewiev, just some thoughts:
1) The nympho trait, as I said earlier is really OP and altough it would be a bit bothersome for players i'd suggest to lower a bit its effect, because from the moment you get a few nymphos, sign them a contract and start "exploiting" them 6 scenes/week, you bascially win the game. Having it a bit lowered so that Nymphos need a day of rest wouldn't be too big of a nerf as they could still shoot 3-4 scenes a week and it would make it more realistic.
2) As a male MC i never meet male models, other than agency ones, occasional thieves and recruits from PA. Having more ways to recruit some would be good, because i always end up with 4-5 girls / 1 guy ratio and males dont have passives like nympho allowing them to shoot more often. Maybe there is some option i missed to activate random encounters or something, if thats the case then ingore this point, otherwise adding one might be interesting.
3) I still can't buy properties even when enabling it in the dev menu, is it normal? When i go in empire > properties i can see the 3 of them but there is no button to buy them or anything like that.
4) Even when i set my PAs in auto set for the photoshootings, it's not done, i always have to program them manually, also once i buy the photo studio there is some even that tries to start at home during the weekend, but i can't even tell you which one because the game crashes the moment it want to start.
5) The game mechanics are already solid and more advanced than many regular management games i've seen but there is a litle lack of endgame, why not add some other companies that would be trying to steal your models or sabotage the player? Make it a like a "porn wars", after all you can't build an empire without a good old war XD.
That's about it for now, once again i wanted to thank the dev for the awesome game and if I wasn't that broke IRL i'd suscribe to support you, maybe i will in the future once things get better.
Keep going dude, you're really on the right track and I hope you can complete this awesome project.
Peace.
