This version is tottal broken Rank up Skill nothing give more Money.
This is not a full version but rather a beta. Many things are not correct as explained.
The "Rank Up" section on Management allows to increase the number of clients the girl may service, and note "may", because is RNG dependant. And yes, I believe that an aspect that important should be mentioned on the tutorial, since if this is not used, I would say that the game it's impossible to continue.
My sugestion would be to make it RNG, as it is, but that the people may service would be always between the rank level and -1, with the exception of the base rank, since it would increase the difficulty at the start even more.
I played the original long time ago, so I cannot recall enough of it to compare it with this version. However, I can compare it to other "remakes/inspirations", and I would say that this one is basic and buggy. Hey, if the goal is something simple, it's good enough, but simple and buggy it's a nono.
Here's a summary of every bug and suggestion I have, the full explainations are on the spoiler:
- Some Special Joker cards do not have a working "Use it as an event" button.
- The Joker card that restores the HP of the adquired girls does not take effect on Naru (last girl on my list).
- Lack of passive from Special Joker cards effect presence on messages (specially, the doubled gains from gambling rooms).
- Girls stats on the paid "Slave Market" are not shown correctly, but it doesn't affect when you buy them.
- Lack of information about upkeep and experience for ranking up previous to buy or passing a day.
- Stats information update at increments of 5, but the training increment stats by 2.
- Cheaper room expansion exploit by putting a girl on a building, sell the girl, put another one, sell her, and so on as many times you want. Then, rebuy the girls by overcost of 100 each (instead of the 300 for each room expansion) and you get those cheap rooms.
- You shouldn't be able to buy rooms on the "Old shack" since it is cheaper to buy the next building "Small house".
- The Music option for "Classical" doesn't work. It outputs an error saying "Failed to load: audio/bgm/Castle2.ogg".
- The Mission about buying all girls is imposible to complete, since the placeholder slots on both two markets are considered as girls and, well, they're not.
In general, the game I think it's really hard at the start, you may need to save scum to be able to get the three girls on the first 30 days, but then the game gets pretty easy, even though it may be due to the save scumming trying to always get the maximum client service on each day.
