@x7xas4UprEta

What affect do NPC Traits (Shy, Crazy, Egocentric etc.) have? There is no mention of these in the guide or this thread.
For now some small bonuses to attributes and scene chemistry. Some of them increase the chance of some events happening.

Could you add a feature to assign NPC's to specific studios? E.G. I'd like to keep all my high MMF chemistry score NPC's shooting in single studio to keep track of them a lot better (or all my Pale Red Hair high Girl-Girl chemistry scores at same studio, or....you get the idea). This would be a big help for both manually and automatically scheduling. Manually assigning them from a screen with the info from both the Stats and Chemistry tabs on the screen at the same time would be great. (Please, please, please with a cherry on top).
OK

Could you add a way to view a NPC's Chemistry scores and the Trends on the studio production screen?
OK

Sorting on the Stats main tab (the tab between Scenes and Inventory) is totally wonkie. E.G. With Stat Type set to Day, click on Earnings. This blanks out all the information. Then click on Expenses - Crashes the game. This is just one example, the behavior a lot of the sorting functions on all 3 Stat Types give unexpected results.
This is going to be completly remade for the next version

Pale Asians also exist in game, not sure if this is intended or not.

Yea it's fine

What degree of influence do the chemistry scores have compared to stats? I know Beauty has a big influence on scene quality. How does a high appropriate chemistry score compare (Around same influence, maybe 1/2 influence, 1/4 influence....)?
Chemistry doesnt affect quality. Chemistry is its own thing.
Would you consider making it a Wiki? Or support a player run Wiki?

I dont really have time to make a whole wiki, but i'll add content if someone is willing to make it.

Could you expand the explanation on how you get skill points from training attributes and make clear there is an upper limit to number of skills and what that limit is (From reading this thread and experimenting I think it is 10, but I'm not sure).

It was possible to get more than 10, but i think there's gonna be hard cap at 10 from now on.
You get skill points by training her attributes(fitness, sex skills, beauty, int). Every 39(i think) points you get a skill point to spend.

Explain what affect the NPC stats and chemistry scores have? (e.g. I have no idea what affect an NPC's Charisma chem score has, the MC's Charisma is explained, but not for the NPCs)

Chemistry can give you 300 points to the scenes final popularity score.
It takes characteristics from actors and compares them to their chemistry scores. Then average is taken.
So if chick has 100% chemistry in PALE & BLONDE and the scene is with pale blond guy, you have 100% from her.
Same thing from the guy and then the average is taken for max 100 points.
Then it takes scores for scene types(F, FF, MMF,...) and also takes average from all actors for 100 points max.
Plus bonuses from before mentioned traits and drugs and you can get to 300. Some skills also bumps chemistry score.

One more suggestion I left out of the previous post:
Change the selection drop downs to allow choosing multiple categories with an and/or option and also an exclude option so you can get a list of all girls with Red Hair and Pale Skin and Small Tits or get a list of girls that aren't White.

UI is geting remade, so this is now possible.

Hero preferences (chemistry) are bugged too: no matter how you play with those sliders the preference remains the same: preggo

And what could I do to watch my films, which I shoot, somehow regress them?
And then you send the actors to the shooting, and what they did, how the shooting was, what camera angles the operator took, what the story was - it's not known. Especially strange is this, if you send to the shooting as a male character of your hero. Maybe even act as a director.
Again, the logic of the game is not entirely clear - there is a beloved friend appointed by you and suddenly a message that "her boyfriend came" and "whether to give him a snout?". Pregnancy is not clear where it goes - it was-was pregnant, somehow it was born and everything where the child you wanted to be a father is not clear.
It is clear that this is a lot of work, that the game is developing, well, I'm not asking to do it right here and now. In the long term, so to speak, a free offer.
The game has good potential, do not throw it.
Sorry for my bad english.

The game is about porn production not family life. The girls are contractors who take a job-related risk, nothing more than that. The game has no space for personal, intimate relations. What you do with your kids is left out because it is not a family sim.

Technically you can have more than one boyfriend or girlfriend. In our case, the event triggers when it isn't supposed to. It's purely a continuity issue and will be addressed in a future patch/version.

As @Eric123456789 said, it's a management sim first and foremost. Some "family sim" elements or other simulation features in general will eventually get in the game. Some will be developed up to a point while others might be briefly mentioned. You can have a look at the roadmap post on the PE patreon campaign. It's available to everyone and it includes e.g. relationships. Also keep in mind there are some things we actively avoid due to Patreon guidelines.

So first of all, good updates on the Eye Candy side. I truely like it to give the actresses some ink jobs and piercings ^^ Second, a deeper look on the updates... (wall of text incoming)

1) Preferences
I checked out the implemented "preferences" for actors and main character. Those likes/dislikes surely add some more realism, but the matchmaking for a good scene gets more troublesome, especially with the PA support still needing to be redone. Heck, those "preferences" do not even get better after shooting 20+ scenes, they are set in stone (?) and therefore generate a steadily climbing nuisance because of incompatible actors / actresses and a thriving need of micromanagement.
May I suggest a raise of -5- points to a scene preference (BG, GG, solo, etc.) and a +2 to attributes (pale, white, black, blonde, teen, etc) for main and actors?

Also I'd like to check the preferences of the main char after the character creation screen (was unable to keep track of some settings), but did not find the chart.

2) Skill Points
The skills maxing out at 10 points is a bit inconvinient, because it makes the casting ageny quite obsolete, thus those girls already have points invested in skills (mostly) I do not see fit for my gameplay. These points /should not/ count, but could be "taxed" with 1k-2.5k per point as casting fee.

Speaking of those skill points, I really would like to have a "reset" option (yes, this could be taxed also) to reallocate points after the training phase.

3) Tier System
Furthermore I'd like to have a Tier (house requirement) training button and not rely on the salary negotiations (event). I do need Tier 4+ ASAP, since not all actors can have bull performer and lose fame a tad to fast.

You may answer that the Tier System was retired, but looking on the fame curves, I have to disagree.

4) Bugs
S Level Skill "Can be made staff for half of the cost": Not working (no interaction, button, etc.)

S Level Skill "No 14 Day penalty": Actress displayed on list in yellow indicating penalty (thus not applied if scenes published)

No Tattoos / Piercings for Staff: You surely just forgot to implement that button ^^

I just mention the PA again, but knowing you already work on that, I will wait with a closer look at it :p

5) Suggestions
Making some shop items modular or even a custom shop by design, you could allow a modding community to rise and further push the awareness of your game existing. Maybe some slots could be opened to external PNGs, and people will design their own piercings, tattoos, wrist bands, etc. And surely they want to communicate their mod (if appropriate) and share it... You get the drift, right?

Potential remark "Very High" tends to have skill points invested in potential. If so, please rework that to "boosted very high" or any wording to seperate that from unboosted potential. I really am disappointed when getting some good beauty rolled and then points are invested and misled my judgement if suitable for further inspection.

6) Conclusion
Some minor changes are still needed due to late game play customization and management, but the developers are on the right track: The Tattoo shop, Jewelry Store, Hotel Conventions really stand out and up the play value significantly and offer a wider variety of custom actress options.

@Frederiksc
1)
I might do some changes to chemistry.
Main char chemistry can be seen in my dev version. It was missing before yea.

2)
Casting agency was always supposed to be "made" girls. They are what they are. Some fit, some dont.
For getting high potential fresh talent use PAs talent search or maybe have luck around the city.
I have respec btn in my dev version.

3)
Not exactly sure what you mean.

4)
I'll deal with those.

5)
Some form of mod support will come eventually but i first need to make gameplay good enough.
Ok, I'll add some text to make it clear which girls have spent skill points and which don't.

check the win lewd download. gave me this one
Link shows a pic with some trojan warning...? Strange...

porn_empire_win_072.exe
MD5 Checksum: 4F5DCF1CED817C2B9425E7E2A95AF0E7
SHA-1 Checksum: CFC1D5C3D63F14A4D86EF83EC6D31A7FE3B36D02

After scanning with WD, Kasp, 360 nothing... post your file hash, virus scanner (name and database timestamp) and download site.

Also your link goes to a .se domain which is blocked by default here, so I needed a fire up a sandbox VM to check that out...

Dev versions are preview versions for $10 patrons. They are not very stable and are prone to bugs but showcase the latest things we're working on. The 0.72 Dev version was the preview of the stable 0.72 and 0.72b is the bugfix version of 0.72.

Question: Is the overall attribute preference bugged at this point in time? When I start a new game, I can slide around chemistry attributes but the overall attribute preference consistently alternates between Asian and Preggo in every new game.

Also, it seems pick up lines on street girls results in a bug when you have enough energy to have sex with them and the game crashes.

Chemistry sliders work as intended. That line of text is from past versions, i just forget to remove it.
In 0.72 there's no way to look at your(or any male) chemistry values. This is changed in dev version.

Street bug is also fixed.
