Unity Strip Club Wars [v1.11] [Total Fluke Studios]

[Demiare]

After playing a bit more can suggest a few things (but first and foremost - again, thank your for your game!):

a) You're using waaay too much randomness and sometimes in worst possible place - UI. Best example is visiting your girlfriend at her home and option to move on her is locked behind RNG wall. Seriously - don't do so, it's annoying like a hell. To be clear - receiving a random refuse (low arousal, tired, irrational, etc) is fine, but you should be always able to make attempt. At least on your official girlfriend

b) Same with "Propose relationship". Don't hide it behind a wall, make button always visible (if person is not already your girlfriend), then use a dialogue to tell conditions to the player. If you're considering about having way too many buttons - you can merge propose a friend & propose relationship into dialogue option for same button.

c) Same with Calendar. Honestly it's mostly because of your current event planner issues (RNG events could and WILL override pre-planned, that shouldn't happen) but part of UI is lying to player. Job interviews or room construction being silently delayed is very bad (first person experience lol, I spend some time decoding your savefiles when one my room suddenly stopped construction progress for a few days). That's leading to extreme confusion.

d) Check for Photos basically non-usable. You're limited in storage AND deleting old photos taking a whole time period? Basically 2 periods for clearing old ones and checking socials for new ones??? Ridiculous. Same with job posting - canceling it shouldn't take a whole period.

e) Friendship. Friendship seems to provide a permanent opinion bonus. Issue that you can't became a friend with your girlfriend while it still applied (and not overridden by GF status). IMHO it either need a fix or something like RNG event to be able to became friends with your own GF. Because currently you have "a proper route for min-max" and that's sick (IMHO).

f) Small sex issues :
- No kink-shaming and I don't want to be rude but seriously, do something with female obsession to penetrate male ass in pure straight relationship. At least low willpower girl with "love" to be submissive - IMHO shouldn't trigger it. But currently it happen.
- What is with mass voyeurism in that damned city? Every roommate is happy to watch since day 0 and you can't stop them from doing it. Even if you'd triggered "move into bedroom" - nah, they're following us. Exhibitionism of MC is not everyone kink so IMHO game should provide us an option here.
- Game do not count Hand & Oral stuff once you're moving to actual sex in encounter. So basically "like" of it is almost entirely useless and you will not gain opinion boost. It's a little annoying (plus allowing much more annoying min-maxing with milking opinion by denying your partner).
- Threesome event is still breaking randomly even if rarely.

A small suggestion: quick search option for Contact list would be insanely sexy If it's too hard to do - at least give me an ability to mark as favorite instantly when you're meeting a character first time. Once you have 60+ character in list it's a huge pain.

What's the maximum employee count? I have around 20 employees and can't seem to hire anymore. Is there a cheat to increase maximum number of workers?

 

[Ramirez™]

I saw a post a while ago that mentioned being able to make a save before meeting someone new so you could sorta force the game to refresh the images used for that person just in case it's something you're not interested in and for the life of me I can't figure out the right timing to do it? If someone exists on the map it seems like it's already locked in that character and never changes with reloading before speaking to them so is that no longer possible? Otherwise it feels like you have to just kinda save before every map change just in case there's a new character on the next screen (at least if you wanted to change a potential character).

If you are in to save editing, you can always remove the imagenumber from the save.
When you load it again the game will find a new image.

Building locker rooms or employee lounges adds to your maximum. If you look under Mange Club and it says something like "Employees: 20/20" then you're at your current max. Absolute maximum is something like 55 when your club is fully built out. (Also see 'Room Types' under the help menu.)

I tried this but maybe I did something wrong 'cause afterwards the contacts list just gets stuck empty with a loading icon unless I order it by "relation" only for some reason haha.
Your first sister also seems to be "created" in the same moment as your player character which makes it a pot luck on whether or not they're someone you even kind of like or not as well as rolling a decent main character image.

I give an example. Btw I use Notepad+
This is part of the line
clubSTX-2978 STX-1SOHscw00022SOHbizcasSOHfunSOH2980SOHwill-15.199

Only remove scw00022. It should look like.
clubSTX-2978 STX-1SOHSOHbizcasSOHfunSOH2980SOHwill-15.199
Save it in Notepad++ and load it in the game.

Maybe she doesn't like dating? Maybe she has a boyfriend now. It could be a bunch of reasons. I would need to know everything about her personality to know why she turned you down.

That may be, but the message box is also empty during those invites. That's why I thought about it being a possible bug.



Here is the save. Everyone in the Kitchen has this issue.

I can post jobs and reassign within the club, but no one ever asks for an interview, and whenever I ask anyone to interview, they always say that they're happy where they are. I'm also pretty heavily in debt, over $200k, would that have to do with it?

I am also having this issue. I saw someone else mention a bugged pornstar scene, which I think I also had. After that scene I completely lost the ability to hire anyone. Even my unemployed 100/100 girlfriend who loves working won't work for me.

 

[Elpescador]

Connecting your stats to your player image is silly. at the very least there should be a character sheet in game. Instead I'm trying to guess which opinion changes will help attraction.

Also, if you can convince girls to be bi, then you should be able to convince them to become straight or les.

Also, the game crashes like every 30- 45 minutes for me and the damned autosave doesn't work. My current autosave is from 3 days ago. Its incredibly frustrating to constantly lose your progress.

Dont get me wrong, I dig the game but it could be so much better.

Seriously - don't do so, it's annoying like a hell. To be clear - receiving a random refuse (low arousal, tired, irrational, etc) is fine, but you should be always able to make attempt. At least on your official girlfriend

The make out option appears after two other options have taken place, like watching a movie or talking. However, you may not get the opportunity if your GF dominates the conversation. In general, it's her house so she will be mostly in charge. Every once in a while you will get a chance to pick what do to, but it's when she allows it. And she may ask you to leave before it gets to that point. In reality the hangout scene was not meant for the official gf which is why it's not available right from the start. I get how this doesn't feel right. I'll look into take that into consideration.

b) Same with "Propose relationship". Don't hide it behind a wall, make button always visible (if person is not already your girlfriend), then use a dialogue to tell conditions to the player. If you're considering about having way too many buttons - you can merge propose a friend & propose relationship into dialogue option for same button.

This is something I struggle with. Giving every possible option can be too much. But I understand the lack of feedback of why its missing. Merging it with propose friendship is a good idea though. Will look into that. (The main reason to not show it is mostly for performance reasons. If it's hidden it's faster for NPCs not to have to consider that option. The options listed to the MC follow the same logic as the NPC and the more options there, the slower the game will run)

c) Same with Calendar. Honestly it's mostly because of your current event planner issues (RNG events could and WILL override pre-planned, that shouldn't happen) but part of UI is lying to player. Job interviews or room construction being silently delayed is very bad (first person experience lol, I spend some time decoding your savefiles when one my room suddenly stopped construction progress for a few days). That's leading to extreme confusion.

I don't understand what Room construction has to do with this. That's not in the calendar and it's not delayed due to any other events. Construction progress only updates once a week, so if you check it every day you may not see any changes for a few days. The valid point is that interviews are scheduled for "daytime" without any specific time set. The calendar shows these entries in the morning even though they can happen at noon or in the afternoon. This is provide flexibility in case there were conflicts with multiple things scheduled for the same time. And there was no calendar view at that time. I need to revisit the interview scheduling.

d) Check for Photos basically non-usable. You're limited in storage AND deleting old photos taking a whole time period? Basically 2 periods for clearing old ones and checking socials for new ones??? Ridiculous. Same with job posting - canceling it shouldn't take a whole period.

You are probably right. Will look into it. At least the deleting photos shouldn't but it may be impossible to separate that from the posting photo to social media which should use a time period.

e) Friendship. Friendship seems to provide a permanent opinion bonus. Issue that you can't became a friend with your girlfriend while it still applied (and not overridden by GF status). IMHO it either need a fix or something like RNG event to be able to became friends with your own GF. Because currently you have "a proper route for min-max" and that's sick (IMHO).

I'm not sure what you mean by this. There's no permanent boost to opinion for being friends. I actually had to look it up because it kind of makes sense that there should be but there isn't. There is however a boost (is not permanent though) for agreeing to become bf/gf.

f) Small sex issues :
- No kink-shaming and I don't want to be rude but seriously, do something with female obsession to penetrate male ass in pure straight relationship. At least low willpower girl with "love" to be submissive - IMHO shouldn't trigger it. But currently it happen.

- Threesome event is still breaking randomly even if rarely.

You can say no to anal sex. It shouldn't happen without them asking first. And they shouldn't ask unless they like it, so you can also change their opinion so that they don't if it's keeps happening.
Moving to the bedroom should not bring the roommate in, so that's a bug.
The hand and oral issue is where you lose me. I don't care about min-max stuff, I don't care about optimal play etc. Have said this a million times. If you are worried that you go all the way you miss a tiny opinion boost then don't go all the way. It doesn't matter enough to be talking about it.
I haven't had a 3some event break for me a while so not sure what could be causing it. I'm sure there are still bugs so I'm not saying it's working perfectly. But those are hard to fix unless I actually see them.

A small suggestion: quick search option for Contact list would be insanely sexy If it's too hard to do - at least give me an ability to mark as favorite instantly when you're meeting a character first time. Once you have 60+ character in list it's a huge pain.

You do know that you can mark favorite characters on the contact page? But I'll look into putting it as an option the first time you meet them too. I would tend to want more info about them that the first time I meet them to make them a favorite but I understand others wanting it that way.

That may be, but the message box is also empty during those invites. That's why I thought about it being a possible bug.


Here is the save. Everyone in the Kitchen has this issue.

Generally I can't load your saves as I'm already have the next version up an running and it's a pain in the ass to revert back to an older version to load your save. But the missing dialog box did point me to a bug which I'll fix. There's a couple of reasons they won't go out with you that is missing the text explanation. One of them is that they are not feeling well, so check their health. Although they shouldn't be at work if that's the case. So perhaps there's something else going on which I'll look at.

I am also having this issue. I saw someone else mention a bugged pornstar scene, which I think I also had. After that scene I completely lost the ability to hire anyone. Even my unemployed 100/100 girlfriend who loves working won't work for me.

The other guys issue was too much debt. Are you in debt too?

I'm not sure I understand the first point. The only stats that are connected to your image is the way the image looks.

The autosaves saves every 20 days by default, which may not happen in 30-45 minutes. If your game is crashing that often, something is wrong as it shouldn't do that. If the game crashes, the best thing you can do is grab the last few hundred lines from the player log file (usually at C:\Users\<your name>\AppData\LocalLow\Total Fluke Studios\StripClubWars\Player.log) and post it here. That may have a clue as to what's happening.

Open Config.dat and change the line

Where can I find the keys for the law types so I can enter them in the cheat command:

cheat enable_law law_type_key
So that I could enable laws straight away?

Don't get me wrong dev, I love your game, i just wanted to fool around with some idea i had

 

[Sir_EatsALot]

Building locker rooms or employee lounges adds to your maximum. If you look under Mange Club and it says something like "Employees: 20/20" then you're at your current max. Absolute maximum is something like 55 when your club is fully built out. (Also see 'Room Types' under the help menu.)

It says 22/55 and rooms 29/70. But i no longer see the option to "consider for a job" when I meet people. Anything I am missing? I also don't have the option to built additional rooms.

In the 'data' folder there's a file called 'law_types' that has the errrr... law types in it. Just look up the law you want and use the cheat to enable it.

Eg. to enable nude performers, type cheat enable_law nude_allowed. and bingo-bongo nudies everywhere (assuming your performers are lewd enough to do it)

Exercise with caution though - I think it will let you enable laws that conflict with each other (like high tip sharing and no tip sharing at the same time) but I haven't tested it.

Have you advertised for any jobs? Without an advert running you can't consider people for jobs.

 

[Not YrBroom]

Wonder how she found that out...

 

[Demiare]

Another small issue: game have a memory leaks. One that I could reproduce is that game do not clear memory properly on loading save / starting a new game. Best way to see it is via character portrait:
a) When you're meeting a brand new character first time and game roll RNG to determine a portrait to use - it's saved as being in use permanently. So reloading a save just before it allow to pick another image. That's could be a feature and not a bug (still - look dangerously close to memory leak, especially if list of portraits in use don't actualize itself for example at start of new day).

b) When you're creating a new character and picking a portrait for him - it's locked as in use so you can't create a new character with same portrait. And that's indeed a memory leak and bad thing because reloading an existing save do not fix it (pick a portrait "A" for new char -> load existing save -> start a new game -> you are still not allowed to use portrait "A").

Maybe not attributes, maybe traits or characteristics. Bald, curvy, big penis etc. When you pick a portrait is has a list of properties that go with it.

The crashes start occurring once I'm deep into a game.

That could be th problem. Thanks!
