I will be having LNSC color the animations before I put them in the game.
Ok, thanks for the update :)
I just saw Dex' animation on discord. Is there any way for us to put them into the game by ourselves (like a mod?) until the final animations by LNSC will be implemented?
Thanks again :)

Not easily, no. You'd have to export each frame to a .jpg sequence and then create a mod that overwrites the old textures!

Luckily (or sadly depending on your point of view) this game is the exact opposite of Strumpets.

While Strumpets lacked story and character depth, this game has all of that. Brothel workers with a background, a storyline, quests, great artwork with animations, and most importantly, characters that don't look like clones with different cosplay outfits.

But on the other hand, I really liked the management system in Strumpets. The different stats and character traits, the upgrades to your brothel and results of those upgrades, the training system, the sexquests, the market, and so on. It also included all gender pairings. In Queens Brothel the management and training system feels really barebone, the upgrades to your brothel are only extra rooms so far, and I personally really dislike the sex=fight mechanics.

As a side note Strumpets also featured all gender pairings, character creation and lots of styling and clothing options for your character and your workers (which was all kinda useless because all the characters still looked like clones, but it was there).

Hey! Thanks for letting me know about Strumpets. Your description makes me want to go check it out and maybe I'll take some notes on how to make my core gameplay better !

Adding more ways to spend gold would be a solid start for now. While I was chasing down the outfits and more importantly leveling characters up to be able to equip the outfits, the gold has been piling up with no way of spending it.

You're welcome. I thought it would be worth mentioning it, since it's kinda interesting to see how two games with the same topic can be so different in their gameplay mechanics and structure. And if it gives you an idea or two how to enhance your game, it wa already worth mentioning it.

Indeed. Maybe more outfits, or more improvements for the brothel or your home. Btw it's kinda sad that you get nice outfits, but they don't show in the basic animations.

Three other ways I can think of:
- Temporary boosters, either with a real-time timer or lasting a specific number of encounters/clients. A massage, for example, giving temporarily extra stamina to a character, or some salve enhancing a specific skill/body part.
- Items usable in a fight, recovering a bit of stamina, lowering the level of one client, "reviving" exhausted characters etc.
- Retraining manuals/seminars/sessions, allowing to redistribute allocated skill points.

Of course, this would mess up balancing big time, since players would either stock on these boosts to make the game to easy or would have to grind for a healing lotion more expensive than building a room, depending on the price. Still good to consider.

I agree gold becomes useless after you buy all the house upgrades and clothes. I'm currently preparing for another gameplay mechanic update by the end of December, hopefully. Those changes will dictate what other things we can do within the game.

You really should give it a look. For all its flaws, it's a very interesting case study for anyone interested in, or developing, brothel games. Personally I'd say that it's the game that has executed best on the moment to moment gameplay aspect.

You should also definitely check out the now-abandoned Simbro for inspiration. But please, only for the game mechanics, not the development. :D

I've been playing Strumpets this morning. I never understood why adult games throw in random fighting mechanics. Like, never have I ever wanted to take a break from the brothel part of the game and start fighting some people.

Breeding Season and Simbro were the two games that made me want to make my own. Like I mentioned above, the fighting part of Simbro was so unnecessary.

Man, just the other day I came across some old clips of Breeding Season and I had pretty much the same thoughts about its successor Cloud Meadow in relation to it: the great execution of the base game got lost in some totally unnecessary extra parts. But to be honest, I don't remember being too opposed to Simbro's fighting scenes. :p

Yup I'll be adding a skip in the future. For now you'll have to hold down Space to skip dialogue.

Man I just tried the game again after a very long time. Really like the new direction the game is going. I am impressed with how much content has been added in 1, maybe 2 years. I think the new simplified sex mechanics are also a good change.

I am not a big fan of the models for the new characters. Queen and Suki are gorgeous, but everyone else seems a bit too cartoony for my taste.
I know a lot of the artwork is still in progress and Queen herself has had some visual updates, so not all hope is lost.
I understand that work has already been put in creating the outfits we currently have for the characters, so visual redesigns are less likely, but I'd like to at least see some style variety with upcoming characters.

For me it was Queen's original artwork that got me to check this game out, but her visual redesign (cartoony style) is also well done. I think other people have noticed her similarity to Azula and that adds to her charm.

I don't know if Suki ever received a visual upgrade or my tastes have changed with time, but I'm really digging her current look.

I was really hyped for Scarlett when I saw that 686786_ScarlettGuardAnalCum.jpg screenshot on the OP. But her in game models looks too much like it's something out of Family Guy and I can not say I find it attractive.
I think my problem with her in game model is that it looks too much like a caricature, while you've got that amazing piece of artwork (686786_ScarlettGuardAnalCum.jpg) spoiling us with what she could've looked like. Her voice acting is really good though.

The other 3 (Esxea, Ardura and Natasha) just don't happen to be my taste. They probably fit more niche fetishes, which I do occasionally enjoy, but they would need to have a better level of detail (hotter body, etc)
The thing with these characters is that due to their combination of unnatural skin tones and extreme body proportions people are either gonna enjoy them or not. Which just feels like a huge gamble to do it with half the cast.
If it's hard for someone to find a character attractive, then automatically all the content pertaining to that character, outfits, CGs, events become irrelevant to their game. Right now I'm progressing the story to the Orc attack and I can tell you the only characters I am excited about unlocking more content for are Queen and Suki.

I saw the Scarlett screenshot and was excited to see there was a 4th character added to the game, but her model doesn't really do much for me.
I then found out there are 6 characters, so I was excited to find out what the other 2 were like. After encountering Ardura I was a bit disappointed, so I decided to go the website and take a sneak peek at the final character.

And that's when I lost my shit. To the point where it gave me the drive to write this entire review.

I do not mean no disrespect towards the hard work that your team has been putting in this project. And I also understand that you're making this product available for free, so it's not really my place to complain.
But at the same time, this is one of the few high quality projects with a really healthy development pace and a there's part of me that wishes I could enjoy it more.

I don't know, maybe this is just no longer the game for me. I just thought I'd share my feedback to provide insight on what are some elements of the game that may be bringing new players in and what are elements that might be turning them away from your product.


From the perspective of someone who first found your game before 0.4.0, I really liked Queen's character model at the time, I think that was the screenshot that made me check it out. Wasn't a big fan of the sex mechanic, got a bit tedious after some time.
Next time I checked the game I remember there were outfits and the quest to acquire Suki was implemented. Not sure if this was before or after the cartoon redesign.

Anyways I remember checking the game at some point about a year ago and I was surprised to see the new artwork, a.k.a the cartoon redesign. Queen's new model felt like it gave her a bit more personality and I think this was also the point in time when the game pivoted towards more of a focus on story.

I think goblin girl was in the game at some point when I checked it out. Not really a big fan of lolis and it's hard for me to find green skin attractive if the body features are not good looking enough to compensate. If I were a Patreon supporter this would be the moment where I'd think that so much effort went into content that I personally find irrelevant that I would just end my support.

The next time I checked the game happened to be today and I wrote my thoughts about it above.
I don't even know what kind of abomination Natasha is supposed to be. I'm guessing it's supposed to cater towards some variation of furry fetish. I guess I'll finish the story and find out.

But for now the only character that really do it for me are Queen and Suki. I have lost hope in 3 others since they are not really my type, but I really wish Scarlett had a better looking character model, you already showed us what she could've become.


EDIT: I just finished the story and it seems I was wrong. I thought Natasha was some kind of donkey girl. Turns out she's supposed to be an elf.
You've got 3 good looking elves and you give us the pathetic shy girl with loli features as a playable character? At what point did we forget this was supposed to be a porn game?
Looks like just wasn't the right type of content for me. It just strayed too much from its original design that got my attention 2 years ago. It would've been incredibly frustrated to have supported the project on Patreon only to witness it turn into some cartoonish comedy.
I think it's important for the creator to reflect upon this, because I suspect there are other former fans out there in a similar position.

Well kind of wonder what type that you are looking for and proberly that is the artist style as well. Unless you are looking to see the artist give a different take, i see each of the artist done very well for each character but to each their own, and the cartoony style does fit the theme of the game as well. I'm glad on the hard work the developer is doing for the game.
