The monetary grind is gone as there's only a couple things to buy right now, but you can get $45 a day with 2 jobs which you can do in times there's nothing going on, and then another $20 every 3 days for mowing the lawn and cleaning the pool, and then once you get the casino open... well lets just say you won't need to grind after, although there is a cap to the casino.
As you progress and complete quest/opportunity events you get less to do, so the jobs are good fillers, also the quest events are not repeatable after you finish, so you start getting empty time zones to fill. Although they should probably repeat the last step if you click to do it again, this will be good for quest lines that have lewd events at the end of them, unless a replay gallery is coming or save at that spot I suppose.
Still not a lot of content, I would look at this being like a 0.15 revamp. The game has taken on more of a Glamour sandbox style, which is not a bad thing, although some things are missing like quick nav room icons telling you who's presently in those rooms, and a bigger time skip button. Unfortunately with this sandbox gameplay it's going to be a very slow burn on content, especially with the lewd stuff, the full nude stuff is basically only from shower peeping at the moment, but there's honestly not a lot of the lewd stuff I got excited about, the shower peeping is not really going to cut it, neither is the fully clothed sleep peeping. /shrug
Not sure what's the point of playing the sandbox mode at the moment, I also quick ran through VN mode with no mini games, you're only missing a couple sleep opportunity images I think and the achievement ones. But you're really not missing much there right now, for a couple more hours of tedious clicking around. But it should get fans of both play styles actually playing the game.
I think the opportunities sub menu should be moved to the main menu area, I spent most of the time looking there since there's no tracker for that part, so I spent a good amount of time clicking through menus to see what I needed to do. Or at least switch positions with the Progress submenu as the first one that opens in the relations menu. Tracker for that part would just be nice.
Christine's room, Rachel engagement picture labeled as wedding picture, should probably be engagement picture as she's not married yet. If you repeat a christine sleep event(with all completed already) it resets the following steps, like I looked at her boobs but the next day her ass one was reset to 0/1 progress, then I looked at the ass and the pussy one was reset to 0/1. I haven't tried this on the other characters, assuming the same will happen.
I had 2 levels of massage unlocked with one from watching porn, then the $25 lesson, did the story, saved game. Checked the computer later to see the $25 lesson reset for some reason. Bought the $25 lesson again and got an extra skill point I guess.
When available and you try to mow the lawn at night, it says you cannot clean the pool at night.
You can rename the mc but his room still says Justin's Bedroom in the quick nav.
MC name gets changed back to justin at the tanning and pool events with briana.
"This is the man of the house" quest, christine is spelled wrong. Quest also doesn't seem to be tracking progress.
2nd floor washroom has brush teeth listed twice, perhaps the wc action should be there where you take a dump or pee in the toilet as the 1st floor one?
Friday morning school court with jackie/briana event (Respect quest) doesn't trigger at that time, the quick navigate menu also disappears here. It actually triggers when you do the afternoon sunscreen lotion event again (after finishing the initial quest on that) with jackie on sat afternoon. But I don't know how to trigger the second step of the quest after that (friday morn sat afternoon don't work). I don't think I saw the second step in the VN side either, so just treat that as end of update I guess.
At least a foundation to build the game on is in place now, so the story can just progress now. I just dunno, personally I just didn't feel rewarded enough (relationship or lewd wise, although rachel had some decent progress) for playing full sandbox mode, I know it's still very early in the game so it definitely will need a few more updates to get going, I still think the game will be decent in the long run.
