Real Life Sunbay 0.3.2
This game has really nice graphics. It's a 3D environment where you can move your character around using the WASD keys, cam around with your mouse, and even drive cars. It's also a large open world with moving NPCs and traffic. It's very interesting, to say the least. I would give the game 5 stars, but I was annoyed by the bugs early in the game and because I couldn't figure out how to save in Play Story mode. However, I later played the game on Sandbox mode and it seems to be exactly the same as Play Story mode and it lets you save. I was going to give the game 4 stars then, but then I encountered 50 billion more game breaking bugs. I was ready to give up and uninstall the game, when someone posted the cheat code for 0.3.2. It's CTRL + SHIFT + Q. I was going to give the game a generous 2 stars because of the cheats. But in the end, I couldn't do it. I have to give this game 1 star. Even with the cheats, this game is unplayable. How can I play when I can't even see what is happening and there are two or three different events and dialogues playing at the same time? I am uninstalling this game now. Below is some feedback and bugs that I wanted to share with the game developer Tom, but I'm not a patron and I don't know what his Discord is.
Feedback - I tried the Sandbox Mode for a few minutes and every single female in the game looked the same. All brunettes with the same body type, outfits, and skin tan. They actually all look like the same Honey Select female with two or three different hair styles. I wish that there was more variety, like different ages, body types, skin tones, and some blondes and redheads.
Feedback - After the shower, Amelia wanted me to go see her college friend and then take me to the clothing store. I thought that it was weird to be shopping so late at night when it is pitch black. I know that major beach cities have a lot of entertainment places that open late, but I don't think that any clothing stores are open that late. I did start the game over a second time and I skipped all of the conversations and just rushed through the game, but it was still night time around the time that I left the clothing store. I think that it gets dark way too early on the first day. New players should have more time to get through the events so they can shop while it is still daylight out.
Feedback - It would be nice if the game told you what the controls are. I had no idea that CTRL + SHIFT + J pulled up the Journal (Characters and Quests).
Feedback - The Journal menu (Characters and Quests) is too small. I had difficulty reading the tiny text.
Feedback - I wish that there was a way to see the dialogue history in case you accidentally skip some dialogue.
Feedback - I wish that you could use the Spacebar to forward the dialogue. I don't like using my right hand to left click on the mouse. I prefer using my left hand to press the Spacebar.
Feedback - I wish that when not in a dialogue screen that we could use the Spacebar to jump over and on top of things. It would make the game so much more fun.
Bug - I purchased some clothes and bought Carolina an energy drink, and I still couldn't figure out how to save the game. When I went to my bed, it let me sleep until morning, evening, and night. But it didn't save the game. There is no spinning Save icon in the bedroom like there is in Sandbox mode. I completed a few more quests after that, but I still couldn't save the game. UPDATE: I later played in Sandbox mode, and I was wearing the same clothes that I purchased in Play Story mode. And Sandbox mode lets me save my progress and continue my game. So I think that new players should just only use Sandbox mode and forget about Play Story mode.
Bug - When I purchased a shirt, shorts, and shoes at the store and left the store, for some reason I was wearing my stained shirt over my new shirt. But then in the dialogue cutscene with Amelia (and later on with other people), I was only wearing the new shirt. After the dialogue cutscene ended, I was back to wearing two shirts again. I went home and immediately went to the wardrobe and tried putting on only the clothes that I wanted, and still the stained shirt was on the outside of the shirt that I was wearing. I slept till the next day and still had the stained shirt on the outside of my real shirt. UPDATE: The clothes appear correctly in Sandbox mode and you can save in Sandbox mode, so I would not ever play Play Story mode. Just use Sandbox mode instead.
Bug - I chose not to take a picture of Carolina but later on she asked me to delete the photo I took and I was given the option to delete it.
Bug - I was on the beach with Carolina and some sex scene suddenly popped up. I tried the two different POV's and then tried to press Spacebar to go back into 360 view, but I couldn't because there was a sex scene menu with only two choices - Handjob and Exit. I tried to exit out of that menu, but left clicks and right clicks did nothing. When I clicked Handjob, nothing happened. When I clicked Exit, it exited the entire sex scene so I didn't get to see what the sex story was about.
Bug - A lot of moving NPC vehicles jump, fly, and roll around for no reason. They physics needs to be improved some so that slow moving vehicles always stay on the streets and don't go flying 50 feet in the air.
Bug - I think that it is weird that the female passenger walks up to the driver's door, opens it, but the passenger door opens up instead and then she enters the passenger door through the driver's door. This could be improved, I think. It only happens when the female approaches the car from the driver's side of the vehicle.
Bug - After taking Carolina "training", she wasn't there when I left the training room. I drove home and there were two Carolinas there, one in each chair on the terrace, and two blue "C's" on the radar. I slept till night, and there were still two Carolinas. I slept till morning, still two Carolinas. UPDATE: If you save the game and then load the save, this bug will be fixed and there will only be one Carolina.
Bug - When I visited Olivia's house after meeting her, I encountered some game breaking bugs that forced me to uninstall the game. For example, when I talked to the mom, the first part of the dialogue is "Excuse me, does Olivia live in this house?" But that message doesn't go away. So you see overlapping dialogue on top of the "Excuse me, does Olivia live in this house?" Even after I finished talking to the mom, that dialogue was still on the screen. I tried running to my apartment and saving the game, but as soon as I tried to Quit it wouldn't let me because the dialogue box was in the way. I was forced to Alt + F4 out of the game. Later, the same thing happened when talking to Olivia. The first part of her dialogue was "I'm so glad that you're back!" But that dialogue stays there forever and any new dialogue overlaps the "I'm so glad that you're back!" Then the two girls told me that it was getting hot and they made a show of taking off their clothes, but in the game I could still see them wearing the same clothes. It wasn't until Olivia had me talk to her outside of the room that she appeared topless. I had bought two whiskeys and three mojo energy drinks before the event. After I gave them one whiskey, Olivia asked for some more. I wanted to get rid of the dialogue boxes so I saved the game and loaded my save. But when I did that, the game told me that I didn't have any whiskeys or energy drinks. I thought maybe the game reset my quest progress and that I would start off with $2000 that I had before I bought the drinks, but I only had $931 left which meant that I lost around $600 for one whiskey and two mojo energy drinks. I bought another whiskey and mojo energy drink with the small amount of cash that I had left, but when I went back to Olivia the bugs were even worse. It showed the whole "I'm so glad that your' back" dialogue and the two girls sitting on the floor scene. But another scene with the two girls in bed was playing at the same time and I couldn't see that new scene. The bugs just got worse and worse from there. Even when I used the cheat to give myself $50,000, the game was completely unplayable for me. So in the end, I had to uninstall this game and warn people away with a 1 star rating. It would be so great if Tom fixed these bugs. If he ever does, I'll bump the game back up to 5 stars and install the latest version of the game. EDIT: I considered becoming a patron so I could join his Discord, but then I saw that he had around 700 patrons and an income of $6,000 a month. With that many people in his Discord, there is no reason he shouldn't already be aware of these bugs. So yeah, I'm not going to waste my time. Also, something is telling me that I should steer clear and not get involved with him. No idea why my gut is telling me that. It's a shame because I find myself thinking of this game a lot and I wish that I could play it.
