So where is my "gossip diary" about them? I don't remember half the crap I'm told by others! So, if you would be so kind, may I have my own little black book that gives me the low down on them? Because, as it stands, apart from what I remember, I have no log of their misdoings what so ever. Does that make sense? The PI only tells me what they like and don't like, but nothing about their misadventures which kinda makes them a waste of space really and there is no way in hell that I'm writing everything down that I hear. You do get what I mean don't you? They have a whole timeline on me, whereas I have nothing on them!
This is a great idea and I'm going to put it in for the next version. Not sure how I'm going to fit it in, but yeah, it should have been there from the beginning.

Thank you so very much, I genuinely mean that, and not just for putting it in but also for taking the time read and respond.

A few requests and ideas for your consideration:

- Is it possible to employ the private investigator character to follow your boyfriend/girlfriend around if you suspect they are cheating? Also provide photographs of said cheating (pretty much just the same thing as a sex interaction but PC would obviously not be there).
- When engaged in sexual activity, can you make the portraits both characters on the screen be persistently on screen? I understand that showing actual positions is not possible considering the limits of the AI you are using, but this might be a decent compromise for now (just use your imagination folks).
- I keep getting news about boyfriends and girlfriends moving in together, then getting engaged, and later married. Is this possible to do as the Player Character?
- Another Image Pack please, I love the characters you've provided so far!
- Instructions on how to apply a naming system (I'm sure that this includes the map for age/ethnicity) for us to create our own image sets...once you do this, you'll probably see custom sets in this thread in no time, and I'm sure some of them will be amazing.
- Introduce more taboos, fetishes, and develop them all further. For example, if the PC is into voyeurism, maybe they can follow someone they are interested in around town, in an attempt to watch them have sex, or even just get naked (peeping through a window, lol). They can also get caught, with various consequences (jail or fine, social consequences where people that disapprove of such activity will have a lower opinion while people that are into voyeurism might have their opinion of the PC raised). Obviously the NTR kink has people on this site very divided, but I think your game is a natural to at least introduce it as an option that you can opt out of if it's not your cup of tea as player.
- Maybe allow the Player Character to have a residence, as living inside your office might get a bit tiresome after a while. This can start with a rundown apartment on the bad side of town as the PC has very little $, then as the PC builds their fortune, maybe a nicer apartment, with some rooms for variety, then later a house, and eventually a mansion with a pool, etc. Then the PC can invite people they are dating back to their residence and continue romantic/sexual activity in privacy.
- Stripping and Prostitution eventually become available as income streams, so why not add pornography? Have the option to start out your employees doing glamour photos, and then progress to nudes and then lewds, and then maybe hardcore pornography where you might use multiple employees as porn actors.
- Do you need any help? I'm a writer and would love to contribute in some way.

The game is already fantastic IMHO (if you have an imagination). This is a social network simulator masquerading as a strip club management game, which is quite the accomplishment. These are just some ideas, or a wish list that can probably make the game more fun. Thank you for reading this.

Nice, some additional Stuff in Fetishes and maybe Taboos would be nice.
Watersports, Pregnancy and so on...also Porno and co...
The Idea to make more use of the PI is also cool.

And we really need some Issues fixed...
Dunno if this is just about the US vs. European Settings, but my Personel costs are exploding and instead of yearly i now pay copius amounts monthly...that are only managable by cheats...and they keep increasing.
Also the Options to pay and what they demand are just absurdly high... pay the a yearly 35k for example is a good value for a Barkeeper or so...but the next Option would be 10times higher, what crap is that?
And the demands of some...no i dont take this jobs, not even for 10times as high , i want not 35k or 350k no i dont do it under 4Million...thats just far from any reality and needs fixing.

Also we need a better UI for the Entire Opinion stuff.
When i tried to convince some people to like casual Sex or Sexwork (after i found one of the few chars with a opinion on it)
I needed to do 2 Things:

First: click the "i want things i dont have a opinion on" clicked, so that this button diappears for the session and the other button works much smoother and still doesnt always click.

Second: click somewhere between 10 to over A HUNDRED times just to bring up this one thing you want to appear withing the randomized 8er selection...thats annoying and can get very frustrating over time.

More options at once or some better way to scroll thru it or something would help immensly here.

And yes i know the Memory Management of Unity is quite crappy and can get quite tricky...
but i didnt want to believe it when i saw it...
One of the last seesion that were on a big game and running for several hours, amassed over 40GIGS in the swapfile... that are values only my modded to death Skyrim SE ever reached...

I might have found a fix for the "NaN" in opinion section. Just changed most '.' into "," in the "config" file and it seems to have fixed it. It also fix the clubs that go bancrupt every few days, meeting female characters, gai. It might cause some damage on the way, but I haven't experienced any at the moment.

Warning: Taboo is on in the added "config" file.

Thanks for your suggestions, to address a couple:

* In the next version, when the PI is spying on someone he/she may learn rumors about them (of which cheating with someone else is an option). In the future there will be a more specific task to find out if they are cheating or not.
* More kinks, getting caught and legal issues are all in the plan. It will come.
* The MC can not move in or get engaged or married at this point. Part of this is because the MC doesn't have a "home". Originally it did, but it seemed like 50% of the game was spent commuting between home and work and that was no fun. So I got rid of the MC's home for now. I also don't want girlfriends hanging out in the office all the time either so don't want them moving in there. I need a better solution. Which will likely involve them living in the club, but having a bedroom, kitchen, etc. But will see. The potential to upgrade your own home is an element I hadn't considered and it's intriguing.
* I will be posting instructions on how to add images soon. Haven't done so yet because I want to make sure that the image naming format is stable. The next image pack should be ready to go in a week or so with the next update.
* As for writer help, I can use all the help I can get. I'm a developer not a writer! Feel free to PM me with your ideas.

The US vs European number formats is totally messing up your game. I apologize for that. I finally got a test PC that's configured properly to test this so the next version should not have these issues.

I wonder if this is also having some weird effect in the memory management. I'm not sure how, but I haven't come close to see the program use up that much memory.

I'll take a look at the change opinion stuff to make it a next/prev situation instead of a random set of options.

Would a potential solution to this be to have movement from your home be a free action/not pass time? The same could be applied for homes generally. Thinking back to Lab Rats 2, travel between locations is free in general, and it never really felt like a chore to go from one place to another. I get the sense that this is supposed to more realistically handle the passage of time, but a concession to gameplay here might make it viable, and the immersion gained from having a home would, in my opinion, probably outweigh the immersion provided by strict travel times.

I agree but want to point out that travel between home and work is already free for AI characters so would do it for the MC as well. My issues is more the mechanics of clicking on Go to Work/Go Home constantly. But point taken with the LR2 example. And actually there's an even bigger reason to make this happen that I'm surprised no one has pointed out yet... You can't get very far with another club owner right now because neither of you have a home to invite the other to after a date.

That last bit is not entirely accurate, just send club owner a text saying that you are thinking of them, and then just keep sending lewd texts, she will invite you to her place, which is an office just like yours but, it is private, and therefore open to anything. same with night time texts asking to meet up.

Is there a way to lower the probability of being asked out on a date or invited to your home?
she loves sex in public and unprotected sex but she always offer to go home.

Public nudity and revealing clothes should also be active to reduce the "going home" thing, but it will still happening sometimes, especially on daytime with lots of people around, which also could end up with you getting fined if someone feels offended and reports you.
Dunno about the numbers tho, thats probably somewhere in the AI behavior files.

Liking Sex In Public is the big one. The others play a factor, but Sex in Public is around 40% of the weight. It's a fairly rare opinion so you may have to work hard at getting them to like it.

Any new image packs in the works?
Yes, ofc.
it maybe even one coming soon, but dont bet on it. ;)
I prefer to have all the reported issues worked out and QoL improved, along with some of the planned features added.

Must admit the divergent eyes and low-hanging vulvas are starting to creep me out.
The changes the AI makes are the thing that annoys me, they can get quite significant, with changes in bodyshape (losing and gaining up to 2 or 3 sizes and so on), tit size, skin complexion, even changing some labia from innie to outie with a certain outfit to innie again (and we have almost no outies in general, which is bad, i like me some meat curtains..^^).
In other words, it lacks consistency and a little more diversity in certain areas.

The Eyes and how they are set, yeah its really bad and creepy with some chars, but that seems to be a weakness with many AI generators, also Hands can get sometimes very misformed or vastly different in size to the other.

Just have a look at the videos here, like this one, you can sometimes find eye errors and things like it here as well, despite its usually superhigh quality and really sexy chicks. ;)

Godammit, Title got my hopes up that it was like a fucked up mafia style PvZ clone or something, but It's just soulless shovelware.

Loving this game.

Player's/girl's skills increase through repetition?

Also, though I think the answer is probably no, but is there any chance for some mp4 clips to spice up sex scenes, dancing, etc.?

Please keep the updates coming.

Is there a way to "convince" your girlfriend to be Poly?
I need a Harem, and a way to "customize a character that will appear in the world (name and basic look) would be awesome, you carry on the Lab Rats spirit well, I watch your career with great interest!:alien:
