Others REC [v0.4.0.3] [moondev]

[DevilishTemptation]

I'm encountering a bug. I did use the cheats because I've played the game before and didn't feel like doing the grind every time I reinstall. I upgraded the camera to something like x50 for the memory card and the lenses. I have something like 15 minutes of time every night but the night always ends super quickly at around 21 seconds so I don't have time to do anything.

I don't understand why.

EDIT: Nvm, I figured it out. I was being dumb. It's my stamina.

Iirc it is intentionally made this way, so the game is actually difficult and rewards you for being thorough
Besides, if you know how suspicion works you don't need to check the sus level

I love the suspicion system, but it's just communicated weirdly. If I can just check how much it changed each night in the menu anyways, why not just make changes easier to find?

Showing changes is how the relationship exp and skill exp work too.

That's the point, you explore what the game allows you to do and you get rewarded for it. There's no obfuscating anything, more like "critical thinking" behind choices and interactions. If you'd like to be spoon-fed everything there is in the game, go ahead and read through our wiki, most players are ok with the difficulty and actually like the game being different than others.

There's plenty of resources to aid your journey through the game such as aforementioned wiki, various comments and replies here and on itch, discord server and cheats if you like it the easy way.

Of course, that's your opinion, I'm ok with it, we don't force anyone to like the game, it's simply a more engaging experience rather than one handed fap materials such as most of the VNs out there.

The game will, eventually, be exactly what the dev wants it to be with the help of the community, if you don't like what you get - your problem, skip and look for another game, simple as that.

Have a nice day!

Being spoonfed isn't the goal here, the suspicion system is good and I wish more sleep sex games did the same.

For example, in Monochrome, there isn't a direct number for you to check, but the girl will still have a line like "Did you do something..?" If you forgot to set things back up to how you started.

If I'm already able to see the direct suspicion number between time slots, I can already see how much it increases or decreases each night from my actions, but that requires me to know that suspicion is a thing that exists in the first place.

If at the end of each night, I got a [Suspicion +10], or Yuna said something, then it would communicate to players that they're doing something wrong.

What ended up happening for me, is that I ran face first into 100 suspicion, and that's when I learned about the system existing. The game shouldn't spoonfeed you how much every action causes suspicion, but it should at least let you know that the system even exists early on, through hints like dialogue, or directly through stat changes.

I mainly suggested showing stat changes at the end of each night, since that's the easiest solution to implement.

Well, I figured out the suspicion system and I don't think it's really as complicated as it sounds.

Basically, no matter what happens at the end of the night. If she is cleaned, dressed and the covers are back on - you will lose suspicion.

You will also lose suspicion if you don't invade that night.

You will retain the same suspicion or gain suspicion for each thing that is 'out of place' (this is just a rough explanation) - like leaving her stained, uncovered and nude can add like 40 suspicion.

So I would leave some time at the end before the recording runs out to fix her up basically.

I'm not having problems understanding the system, I'm just saying that it should be communicated more clearly to players.

If I'm going to be checking how much suspicion I have in the stats menu anyways, then it would be nice to just see how much it changed with the end of night stats.

The other things I mentioned are just other great reasons to include it with the end of night stats.

Most likely around the same time when Mac version will be deployed and that is a distant future. Thing is , dev has written his game in C# as he was aiming for windows only, he wants to rewrite it fully to GDScript as that would have better maintainability especially on other platforms, besides windows and Android, that's all I know.
Right now you'll have to use Wine or Bottle to emulate exe on Linux or play android version

C# is a multi platform language, only .NET Framework is Windows only and Godot 4 supports .NET Core, idk which version but it should be deployable to linux as well.

 

[brown_stick]

how do you turn her over?

I am aware of that, I just passed on what the dev told me, apparently it will be too much of a hassle trying to debug platform specific bugs

Thats a pretty good idea, I'll pass it on to dev.
As for the communicating thing - you're actually spot on, if you have high enough suspicion level, she will deny accepting any item you're trying to give her (except plain gifts) after you start the next night and mc will comment "maybe she's suspicious of me, I should be more careful" it is vague but it is there, also there's the lockpicking minigame if you're over 50 suspicious

I love the suspicion system, but it's just communicated weirdly. If I can just check how much it changed each night in the menu anyways, why not just make changes easier to find?

Showing changes is how the relationship exp and skill exp work too.

I honestly have no idea why dev didnt put it in the same way as other stats but this only proves that the game is heavily unpolished and needs a more extra care

Can i wake her up if i used the she won't wake up during nights cheat, she said i can but idk how or if its possible

You just answered yourself - if you used cheat so she doesn't wake up, you can't wake her up, reopen the game without activating the cheat to wake her

is it normal to have low energy the following day? Energy's too low

Staimna is restored on a % basis, so early game, without bonuses, it can be rough, but a good rule of thumb is to increase stamina via running, as this will give a flat return per day. Comfy Sheets and Pillow increase the % so make them a high priority purchase.
increasing Dex is important for running, as it is the basis of your character hitting an enemy and evading their attacks, level it whenever you can.

My rule of thumb for my own playthoughs is to level intelligence first, get exp upgrades, then focus on dex via events and cooking, while doing the occasional jog to slowly build stamina up.

Don't be concerned about skipping a nightcrawl if you have less then 40 stamina, once you reach a point of having 200+ stamina and a couple of time upgrades, money becomes a non issue.

Game is so good in SFX and gameplay, like , its on same spot with "do not feed the monkeys" for me , but with NSFW. Hope dev gonna make more stuff like this

 

[artix31]

I wonder if we'll get a "fuck her while she's awake" sequence, also pregnancy would be nice

The awake part is already in.

No bugbash version for you. wait for non bugbash ver.

I know it's possible to wake her up during a nightcrawl so she's aware of making love to you, but is there a way to do it without raising her suspicion level? Since when you do, at least for me, her sus levels stay max at 100 for the rest of that loop, so that means you can't give her any items for that duration.
