Hasn't been patched yet and I agree. Synth-IA is a pretty useless skill to begin with, I find it weird by itself that you need a skill just for clients to be able to check themselves out but it's a welcomed skill as well in some situations. I guess I shouldn't exactly call it "useless" as there are times when the skill feels useful, but more like the skill is pointless as it's just another skill to lose money over that holds very little meaning in terms of making the game more fun, as an argument before by the Dev, said that he's tried removing the necessity of drag & drop function to fulfill client orders but said it felt boring so he reverted back to the drag & drop function -- Synth-IA to me feels very much the same way except it isn't just making game play boring, it's just almost pointless to have. Synth-IA should be reworked into something different. I'd find it to be more useful if Synth-IA was a skill that removed the unnecessary anti-fun tediousness of having to drag & drop items to fulfill a clients orders, can't tell you how many times the drag & drop function annoyed the hell out of me fumbling around to fulfill an order in time before a client checks themselves out.

But yes, the Take Out skill especially when combined with the Care skill does indeed maximize profits. It's just that at the very earliest days length in the game (if you're under sub-50 days it's way too early and unnecessary spending money on leveling up those skill points across 3 Main Maids, it's best spent saving that money up to immediately max out Ame's skills if possible when she's unlocked and then just let Ame take over the cafe duties for awhile.) It takes way too long otherwise if you're struggling to save up trying to upgrade 3 Maids plus Sergil over the long term. Took me about almost 100 days upgrading those three in one play through, and on the second play through I tried something different & focused entirely on Ame, and holy hell Ame is a Godsend. What took the three main Maids almost 100+ days to max out upgrade skills to maximize profits Ame could do in under 50 depending on how soon you can unlock her.
That's very fair, my memory of the early game struggles is vague at best since I always go back to my savefile a couple hundred days along with every Skill unlocked because with the RNG nature of the cut-ins I still have plenty of gallery to unlock even on that file and I've only done the Gloryhole grind for Rai so far since it's even more RNG and Sergil's Skill to invite people to the Backrooms can only do so much.

Two questions:

1) When will the new maid be implemented?
2) I was told in the beginning of the game that I would have to pay the maids. I've yet to pay them a single dime. Are they going to work for free forever?
1. Alex just mentioned the new maid for the first time in awhile on the Discord. But there is still no ETA but there is a Friday tease tomorrow. We'll see
2. Payment and the Loan that Sergil and Cynthia took out at the beginning hasn't been implemented either. Alex has said this will happen but again, not ETA

Hey, please go over to itch.io and download the 44.3 version I uploaded few hours ago, it has a lot of bug fixes + a lot of hidden bugfixes that I forgot to mention, this bug being one of them.

Is it under a different title on itch.io because I can't seem to find it?

Found a strange bug on version 0.8.44.2 used the shop unlock for the cleric/ 2nd boss to try to unlock his perfect end and bad end. Unfortunately it just doesn't start the boss match at all, tried to play a week forward and it just didn't work. Luckily I have a save before because it locked the speed tasker upgrade claiming I need to beat the 2nd boss.

-Edit-

On a different aspect I was wondering if it would be possible to have a indicator for how many times the maids have sex with others from events, take outs, service, and using the glory hole. Just a kind of tracker especially if there will be bad ends where the maids are stolen. Maybe have it track how many internal, external, or oral shots they take would be a good indicator of how corrupted they are. Thanks for reading ideas, I hope even a basic indicator is implemented beyond the glory hole unlock mechanics.
